She ducked past them, plunging into the crowd.
Percy, Annabeth thought, scanning the forum desperately. She rushed off toward the legionnaires, her dogs at her side. “That’ll just make things worse,” Annabeth said. Two artillery crews had set up catapults just outside the Pomerian Line and were preparing to fire at the Argo II. “Look.”Īrmed legionnaires were hurrying toward the forum. One landed nearby and blasted a toga shop to rubble. He kept pleading, “I’m on your side!” but his orange Camp Half-Blood T-shirt didn’t help matters-nor did the warship overhead, firing flaming spears into New Rome. His purple cloak had been ripped to shreds. Piper’s charmspeak was useless against so many screaming, angry demigods. Several dozen Romans had surrounded Piper and Jason, who were trying to calm them without much luck. Some threw plates, food, and rocks at the Argo II, which was pointless, as most of the stuff fell back into the crowd. The Roman demigods in the forum had coalesced into an angry mob. If weapons had been allowed in the city, Annabeth’s friends would have already been dead. Fistfights were breaking out.Īnnabeth had a horrible feeling this might be the last time Reyna and she ever acted in agreement, but together they ran down the hill. “Perhaps you were not aware of this treachery, but someone must pay.”ĭown in the forum, chaos was spreading. “You’re telling the truth,” Reyna judged. They snarled at Annabeth but paced uncertainly, as if reluctant to attack. The metal dogs ran to their mistress’s side. “Gods, no.” A wave of nausea almost made Annabeth’s knees buckle. Its port ballista fired a massive spear wreathed in Greek fire, which sailed straight through the broken dome of the Senate House and exploded inside, lighting up the building like a jack-o’-lantern. “You’ve betrayed our trust.”Īs soon as she said it, the Argo II launched a second volley. “It isn’t the giants.” Reyna’s eyes seethed with rage. “Giants?” Annabeth reached for her dagger, which of course wasn’t there. She turned in time to see an explosion blast a new crater in the forum. Light flashed in the corner of Annabeth’s eye. And the legend centers on Athena-”Ī shrill sound pierced the air.
Until this old score is finally settled, so the legend goes, Romans and Greeks will never be at peace. If it’s true, it may explain why our two groups of demigods have never been able to work together. “There is an old legend that the praetors of Camp Jupiter have passed down through the centuries. Much later, when I became praetor of Camp Jupiter, I began to suspect.” “At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about. “Did this demigod-did he explain his quest?” She thought about the strange nightmares she’d been having lately.
She remembered her mother’s scathing words. She’d never heard that prophecy, but her mother had charged her with following the Mark of Athena and as she thought about the coin in her pocket, a horrible suspicion began taking root in her mind. “Not-not the way Ella said them.” Annabeth’s voice was weak. But you say that you’ve never heard them before today?” “He kept muttering about wisdom’s child, the Mark of Athena, and the giants’ bane standing pale and gold. “Yes,” Reyna said, seeing her discomfort. * Franks walks out.Annabeth grabbed the railing to keep her balance. Percy- well I woke up hazel to tell her that there here, and she said we have to go.įrank-Okay but well talk about this later. Through out there whole friendship this were there first they argued.
