Diana took her seat in the Senate room, Zoë on her left, as she studied the room. She, like most of the higher ups in the room, was wearing a toga. However, hers was more a personal taste than what was needed. Clinging to her curves while leaving her right shoulder exposed, the toga was silver in coloration. As the rest of the people came in, she spotted Percy and Amelia near the back, she resisted the urge to smile. Those two were quite the pair, she couldn't help it but Amelia would fit in nicely to their little family.

She stiffened as something much more powerful than any Olympian flashed in and all the Romans stood at attention, she turned and saw a fully armored figure that stood with Lupa. Lupa looked extremely pleased with herself for some reason but the figure next to her spoke up, sharp and authoritative.

"Romans, take your seats," He said, as the demigods obeyed without question, "I call this meeting to order as it seems that the Fates have been broken, horribly."

The Senators whispered amongst themselves before looking at the armored man questioningly, the man studied the group before he spoke again.

"Most of you may not know this but there are Greeks out there still, as the Roman side is only one part of the Olypmains. Unlike what you believe, without the Greeks, the Olypmains will fade from existence. It is unavoidable, but it is the lesser of two evils that exist at the moment. But as of now, the Prophecy of Seven has been broken. The Fates can no longer give Prophecy to you as your war has become much more devastating."

"What do you mean, Lord Mandalore?" Praetor Reyna asked cautiously.

"A threat from the past, my past, not yours," He said sharply, "Has amassed an army that is meant to easily destroy any resistance they encounter. However, there is still time to remove a threat and enemy from the board. As of right now, four of the Seven are coming here, one of them is your former Praetor, Jason Grace. I expect that the Romans will not allow grudges to take hold of them when the Greeks arrive?"

The gathered Demigods nodded as the Lars glowered at Mandalore, until all of the Lars were forced somewhere else. Diana frowned before two other figures stepped out of the shadows besides Mandalore and Lupa, both armored and radiating power. This was so different than what she had expected today.


Camp Jupiter was ablaze after that, talk of the upcoming arrival of the Greeks mostly. But the arrival of some of the other deities that worked with Mandalore had been at the Senate meeting so it was weird having to listen to the gossip. Percy mused to himself that maybe he could get a free pass on this and stay here but he knew that wouldn't be happening any time soon. Amelia relaxed on a blanket in the sun with Zoë as Diana leaned against a tree reading a book.

Percy was simply watching the skyline, wondering and waiting for the ship that Mandalore had said would arrive. The children of Vulcan and legacies of Vulcan had been put to work building ships that would allow them to travel to the Old World, to the Original Mt. Olympus. But Percy knew that something would stop them along the way as it was Gaia after all, the Earth would do anything to stop them.

"You know," Diana said, not looking up from her book, "you're making me nervous with your standing there, staring into nothing."

"Can't help it," Percy grimaced, walking over and sitting next to the Goddess of the Hunt, sighing, "I'm just worried that things will suddenly turn against us the moment something good happened."

Diana rolls her eyes, like this was a normal thing, "Percy, how long have we known each other?"

"Uhm," Percy frowned, thinking back, "Ever since my first quest, which you saved my skin from being turned into a stone statue for sale by Medusa."

Diana snorted, "I arrived after you beheaded her, Percy. You dealt with her pretty nicely, but its been years. After you joined us as an exchange to make the relationships between the Camp and Hunters better, we only got closer. I know you very well and this isn't you."

Percy blushed, Diana was right. They had gotten closer after his first quest, as it was Zoë's idea for it in the first place. He had been picked by Artemis, herself, to be a hunter for several months while a daughter of Hermes was picked to be the one to get switched with him. Well, things turned out for the better, at least on his end. Percy was pretty sure that when Lucy, the Hermes Huntress, came back, she had a ton of pranking material from her siblings to use on him.

The only thing that Percy didn't enjoy was the silver outfit, it never seemed to fit him. He didn't complain until one of the daughters of Aphrodite took pity on him and tailored him a silver hunting outfit. After that, it was more smooth sailing, until Artemis was captured and that quest was issued. Which he sort of broke Fate the first time by making water appear in "the land without rain", saving Bianca's life. Then he pulled off the next impossible thing, saving Zoë's life by taking the spear for her.

That had been a weird experience, as it seemed that he should have been dead until something happened that he didn't remember. Artemis had told him that he had used the moisture in the air to blast Atlas back and he landed next to her, allowing the Goddess to put Atlas back where he belonged. After that fiasco, the second Titan war had started, causing Percy and Zoë to be put in charge of the Hunt as it turned out that someone made Mt. Saint Helens exploded again and released Typhoon. Ugh that had been a nightmare, but he had gotten closer to his new "family".

Percy sighed, "I'm just really worried this time, if the giants and the Earth are rising again, along with a planet destroying army, what could we do to change this?"

Diana smirked, "Oh, I can imagine a lot of things, Percy. Now relax."

She put his head on her lap and ran her fingers through his hair, instantly calming him down. He sighed in relief before smiling a bit, letting his fears and worries go for now.
