(Nacha’s Note: I wrote this while I was waiting for The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus. I wrote this after reading The Mark of Athena. I really thought Rick’d kill Reyna and so I had this idea on my mind. A Little Fall of Rain from Les Miserables add a little fuel to the fire.)
Remember Reyna
“FOR ROME!” Reyna heard Octavian's voice echoed as he charged the remaining children of Mars blocking his way. The other roman legionnaires followed the augur’s signal.
The battle had been going on for hours. The Greeks were outnumbered. There had been enough bloodshed.
Reyna cursed as she ran for the lake. She was sorry for every Greek demigod she shoved and hit on her way. Her people seemed to be skeptical about her since she was close to Jason Grace, the traitor to their race. They refused to follow her orders and went after the damned Octavian’s. She did not mean to kill, she tried everything to delay their attack. It had been three days.. That had been a long time. Jason Grace should be on this camp right now.
“Grace, where are you?” She wanted to yell his name out loud in her desperation.
She turned to her left and headed for the woods. Spears and arrows were flying over her head. The offsprings of Vulcan fired.
She ducked as she held the hilt of her sword tighter. She hid behind a huge oak tree when a chariot razed the path she was walking. When the chariot passed by, Reyna readied herself to go yet when she heard a spine tingling scream behind her she had to stop. A few yards away from where she stood, a tall, buff guy wearing a full Roman armor was standing with his arms raised and on his hands, a sword. On the ground in front of him was a familiar face Reyna had wanted to hate ever since she walked in Camp Jupiter.
“Piper McLean.” She recognized the girl lying on the ground, unarmed.
The least thing Reyna would ever do in this war was to help Piper, but she was going to die brutally if she would not intervene. Without thinking twice, Reyna ran towards the two yelling, “HOLD IT!”
The roman warrior stopped and turned her way. It was Augustus, the son of Mars who came weeks earlier than Frank Zhang. He was weirdly big for his age, Reyna remembered. His eyes blazed irefully behind his helm.
“HOLD IT AUGUSTUS!” Reyna bellowed angrily.
“What Reyna? You wanted to spare the life of this graecus?”
“I SAID HOLD IT!” She repeated.
His eyes glowered. “Octavian says the truth! You’re a traitor just like that stupid son of Jupiter!” Augustus spat, he kicked Piper.
The helpless daughter of Venus cried in pain.
Augustus turned to her way, “You’re disgrace to the Romans, REYNA! You and Jason Grace should rot in Hell!” He shouted as his spear charged for Reyna.
