Chapter 12: The Seven

Ch.12

Percy appeared inside Camp Jupiter alone. Artemis said the hunters would be behind him once the girls had gotten their things together. Percy looked around for Reyna and Lupa for a while before making his way to the senate house. While Lupa wasn't there, he did find Reyna, Nico, Hazel and Frank along with the senate. Percy appeared in a seat next to Nico in a subtle flash of flames. Only a few people noticed. Nico looked relieved at the sight of his best friend.

"What's going on?" Percy asked curiously as he noticed the scowls on everyone's faces.

"Let me guess," Percy groaned. "Octavian."

Perseus nodded.

"He sacrificed my panda pillow pet!" Percy cried. "He was so young."

Nico frowned, "Octavian's been ranting for more than thirty minutes about how they shouldn't trust the Greeks and how the Romans should fight without the Greeks in the war."

"Someone is looking to get his head pound," Ares growled.

Percy narrowed his eyes at the scrawny blonde haired boy in a toga as he listened to him go on and on.

Percy looked toward a fountain in the back of the room and smirked.

As Octavian paced in front of the senate during his rant, he turned around only to get blasted in the face with water.

Poseidon chuckled. "That's my boy!"

"I suggest you watch your words auger." Percy said standing up.

Octavian narrowed his eyes, "Who are you? You aren't from this camp. You must be a Greek coming to spy on our senate meetings. Seize this spy immediately." Octavian yelled.

"How dare he!" Hera yelled while shifting into Juno as the other gods shifted into their Roman forms, though Hestia and Artemis kept their Greek form for some reason.

Reyna stood up to say something but Percy shook his head. Reyna looked surprised but nodded.

When a couple of Octavian's lackeys reached Percy, they suddenly froze. Percy kept them rooted in their spots by controlling the water in their blood. Percy looked up at Octavian with a murderous glare.

The demigods all shivered st the thought and were grateful Perseus never tried that on them.

"So auger, are you saying that a direct order from Lord Jupiter should be ignored? I know Reyna has informed everyone of the orders from the gods. I have been sent by Lord Jupiter personally to ensure peace is kept between the Greeks and the Romans. I suggest you sit down and shut up or I will be forced to make you." Percy growled.

"We have no way to know if you speak the truth. This is probably another lie from the deceitful Greeks." Octavian spat.

"Oh yeah, he's looking to get a good beating," Jupiter grumbled. "I have no qualms against it either. Do you, Apollo?"

Apollo shrugged. "Not at all."

Percy calmly walked up to the suddenly nervous auger. He rolled up his sleeve, revealing his SPQR tattoo.

Octavian's eyes widened, "First cohort? That's impossible, I am the centurion of the first cohort and I've never met you."

Percy smirked and snapped his fingers. Octavian's eyes widened, "You're that Blake kid from years ago. You deserted the legion you coward!" Octavian sneered.

"So he has chosen death," Hestia said angrily. "Very well, Pluto take a note."

Pluto nodded. "With pleasure."
