Heroes with Wands

Prologue

Before you start reading, I'm asking that you don't critique my writing. Of course since its a fanfiction, there will be several things I might change or mix up. I'll fix those when I begin editing. Most of the time my writing is supposed to be that way. I would love your thoughts and opinions, but please don't correct my work. Thanks.

Prologue: Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase

Mount Olympus, Home of the Gods.

"Brother," Poseidon stated to Zeus, "our sons have their memories returned. They have just left Camp Jupiter with other demigods. An eidolon attack was blamed on the Greeks. They are soon to be at war."

"It is a fight between the camps," Zeus said. "Nothing more. We shouldn't interfere with them. And Jason Grace is a son of my Roman form." The Gods, Chiron, and the fates were gathered for discussion on the battle.

"Lord Zeus," Chiron said, "Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter have been bitter enemies since Rome and Greece were at war. Now children are involved. Poseidon--,"

"Chiron has a point," Poseidon turned grave. "Now Gaea is awakening. Romans and Greeks are at war with each other instead of working together to defeat Gaea. We need alliance."

One of the Fates spoke up. "Something is about to happen. Romans and Greeks, they must work together to find another group of common enemies. Olympus knows who."

"Yes," the other said, grinning. "I sense three Romans--those of the first prophecy--the others are Greeks. They will go forward to find these foes who are at war against their own kind."

"So you're saying they're working together?" Hera asked brightly, her silver hair braiding itself to one side. "The two camps? Zeus, this includes your own boy. Jason Grace. The others--?"

"Ah, yes, Jason," Chiron said. "Powerful, lad. The others...Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque, children of Mars and Pluto. Percy Jackson must also be involved. And where there is Percy, there is Annabeth Chase."

Athena shuffled uncomfortably. "Annabeth....are you sure you don't know who these, 'common enemies' are?" she asked the Fates. They shook their heads. "I don't doubt her, not at all, but...is it wise for us to put our children in this position if we haven't a clue who these new foes are?"

Chiron scratched his beard. "Let me think....Jason, Hazel, Frank, most likely Percy and Annabeth.....how many are to be prophesized?"

"Ten," the third Fate replied. The gods almost choked. "No." She mumbled to herself. "Three Romans, four Greeks, and a satyr. Excuse my poor mathematics."

"Seven demigods and a satyr," Chiron said. "Three demigods is risky, but seven? Plus a satyr? I have a stange feeling about this."

"You should," Apollo said, inspecting his nails. "A prophecy is about to be revealed. You'll know more then."

"And Chiron?" Ares added, taking off his shades to reveal firey pits for eye sockets. "You'd better get back to Manhattan. Your camp is being invaded."

Camp Half-Blood

"Stand your ground!" Percy shouted among the Greeks.

Percy and Annabeth led the campers into battle. Roman eagles were flying overhead. The sound of Pegasus wings were loud in the distance. So were the battle cries.

Reyna, praetor of Rome, appeared at the crest of the hill. She was riding her Pegasus, Scipio. Roman archers were packed in formation behind their praetor. Reyna said, "I am so sorry to declare war on my fellow praetors. But somebody must pay for the attack on New Rome."
