CHAPTER 2

Percy walked back into camp. Feeling a bit better than he had this morning.

As he passed by the citizens of new Rome, he felt stares and glares burning into him. At first, the idea of going to collage with annabeth in new Rome had seemed like a stroke of genius. But the majority of people new Rome still held a grudge after thousands of years. Greacus they called the hand full of people that had come from camp-half blood. The pregedous had become so bad that only annabeth and he had stayed. The others returned to camp-half blood.

His train of thought was lost when a legionare suddenly stopped him. The kid looked scared out of his mind but he tried to look strong. He hid it well, but not well enough. After all these years Percy could tell.

"Um... Perseus j-jackson, praetor Reyna has request that you report to the temple of bellona imediatly."

"Alright, tell her I'll be there in a minute, I need some coffee first."

He nodded and left.

Percy sighed.

Oh joy! Another lecture from reyna.

"This'll be fun."

-line break-

After ordering his Dark roast coffe (infused with embrosia) he made his way over to the temple of belona. Inside was Reyna, wearing Athena's cloak. Frank was with her. He smiled at the sight of his friends. Frank had grown even more after the final battle with Gaea. He was now taller than Percy. He announced his presence by knocking on the door frame. They stopped thier casual conversation and turned to him.

"Percy, great, your here."

Something was wrong, Reyna seemed closed off, and Frank, who was usually always cheery, seemed uneasy.

Nevertheless Percy kept his grin and didn't comment.

"So why did you guys call me here?"

Reyna spoke, "Percy-" she sighed, "we have a quest for you, we need you extract a second generation demigod from his home 7 miles from here."

He looked at them slightly confused. The romans dont do this. He would know, he had spent months finding his own way to the camp.

"We know what your thinking, but we think you should use this minor quest as a chance to help the cohorts and um... let off some steam."

Frank shifted his feat, not making eye contact with the son of poseidon.

"What are you two talking about, I'm fine."

Frank spoke softly, "Perce, there's been reports of someone screaming and exploding water pipes, Mandy fraser of the 3 third cohort was injured earlier this morning. I dont know whats happining but... your scaring people."

He glared at the taller man, heat bubbling in his chest while his hands curled up in tight fists. The ground started shaking.

"What are trying to say Frank?! That this was my fault, do you think I enjoy my constant reminders of hell, of how ive failed so many people that depended on me, and of fact that nearly everybody I know can barely look me in the eye anymore, huh? Do you?!"

His breathing was heavy and and his throat was hoarse with yelling. He was up in franks face, the walls and ground below him was cracked and dust had filled the air as some pillars inside the age old temple had crumbled during his earthquake.

Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. He caused this. Guilt poured inside him. He looked over at reyna, her sword was halfway out of its sheath. Her face was a hard mask of control as she stood there in a defensive stance. Frank looked shell-shocked.

Percy slowly backed up, eyes anywhere else than thiers, "Sorry, i-i'll do it, your right I need to, um reasess things. Just tell me the adress and ill help the kid."

"Its 12235 kaleing dr. near sonoma. Its not too far from here. Make sure to check up with terminus before you leave." Reynas voice had no emotion.

"Right, got it."

Niether of them said anything else, so he took it as his que to leave.

Hope you enjoyed! Tell me what you think in the comments!
