Anyone who knows Arya Jackson for more than five minutes knows her opinion of the world, and demigods not so fair place in it. Unfortunately, since the war Arya isn't that easy to get to know. To most she's little more than a legend.

The Start of a New Tomorrow

"Was it lonely? Eating every meal alone?" He asked.
"Very." She answered, "I don't think i'd wish it on my worst enemy."

A FEW HOURS LATER, clean-up was done, both camps were looking for something to-do, aimlessly wandering and talking within their small group of friends. Most of the kids were healed and out of the Big House, so, Ace found himself with Cato, Max, and Skylar again.
Minutes later the crow grew and grew, as if someone was herding them together. Two figures stepped out onto the giant wrap around porch. Shoulder to shoulder Arya Jackson and Reyna Alvarez-Arellano surveyed the crows, waiting for the last to file in.
A hush fell as the two leaders were regarded, everyone curious as to what they had to say.
"It has come to our attention that the necessary duties to clean the land, and fix up both camps have been accomplished. We want to thank you all for your cooperation and kindness in order to ready us to start to look forward, now united as one."
"Reyna and I have been deep into conversation these last two days, figuring out what the future will hold for both camps. There is much to figure out, and the answers won't come right away. In fact, it will be a long and slow process in order to overcome generations and generations of hatred and history."
"But we will!" Reyna said holding her chin up higher, "And it started yesterday, it starts with you. The bad blood will be buried and the demigods of tomorrow will not know of a world where they only have one safe haven they can go to."
"With permission from the director." Arya said looking over to Chiron, "I would like to show our Roman brothers and sisters our way of life, an olive branch in beginning to understand one another. So all those who are willing, for the next day and a half we invite you to switch up your routine and try ours, separated into cabins of gods rather than cohorts. Take a tour around camp, try any activity you would like. Make some new friends, I promise we're mostly friendly."
A whistle went over the crowd, "It has been a while since you've been here!"
Arya chuckled and shook her head at whoever made the comment, "I said mostly! Don't worry Clarisse I haven't forgotten you shoving my brother's head in the toilet the first week he was here."
