Reyna

After many bloodshed. I was so glad that the war is over. Even though my mom Bellona, was a goddess of war. I still prefered a stable and peaceful life.

Its almost a month passed when The Seven Demigods defeated Gaea and put her back to sleep. We attacked the greek camp, Camp halfblood and many demigods died.

I didn't want to attack the greek camp but Octavian, the augur scrawny man convinced the other romans that the greeks are the enemies. When I faced Annabeth at Fort Sumter I believed her explanation because it was the truth, She wasnt lying and it was proven by my loyal dogs. Argum and Argumentum.

Nowadays, We finally have peace.The rifts between Greeks and Romans had been fixed- Thanks to Annabeth who rescued her mother's statue and she made peace instead of revenge.

Although Annabeth and her siblings accepted and made friends with us their Mother Athena took revenge on us. the goddess sends bunch of owls and other monsters whenever we sleep So I send scouts every night to guard the borders because even though Terminus- The Roman god of bounderies doesnt stand a chance from The greek war goddess.

It was almost a month of peace. Until Octavian blamed Greeks again and started a riot.

It happened in a friday evening. Every night we gathered in the forum to check the romans on duty and make sure they are properly ready from any attacks of the greek war godesss

"Romans! Stand Guard!" I shouted trying to sound confident.

"Today is friday. Fifth Cohort in on duty for tonight. Guard the border well. Dont let Athena's minions stole your eagle! " I said

"Okay so All from the Fifth Cohort. Rise!" I commanded

About 3 dozen people stood up. Almost all of them are teenagers but some of them are in their mid twenties.

"May the gods bless you!" I said

"Wait just a minute! We cant be like this forever! Someone must pay!" Octavian blurted out

"What?" says Dakota from the Fifth Cohort

"We cant be like this forever? Someone must pay! This is the Roman Way" He said and turned to me

"Or have you forgotten this? Or perhaps your loyalty is divided?" Octavian continued

People started talking to each other. I saw them nodding while Octavian Talked. They believed everything He said. Anger started to boil inside me. The noise of the campers grew louder.

"Romans! Hear me!" I shouted and all of them turned to face me.

"We swore that we will make friends with the Greek Camp and we will! As for the greek goddess, we must convince her that we are not a threat anymore. We must respect Minerva just like greek respect Athena. I know the Roman way"-I turned to Octavian- "And my loyalty still lies here in rome" I said

"Then How come that we still dont have another praetor?" Said one of the camper. I didnt saw who said that but I saw Octavian smiled when he heard that.

Uh-Oh. Here We go again. Everynight, Octavian keeps bugging me about the Praetor problem. My two Former praetors stayed at the greek camp and started to live a normal life.

"Im fixing that" I said

"And How?" Octavian said while rasing his eyebrow.

"Octavian! Your Eyebrow is leaving your head" Gwen said.

Octavian gave her a murderous look as if hes saying ' if you joke to me again Ill make you a stuffed toy and use you to my auguries'

I managed to have a straight face.

"Just joking" She said

"We'll work about the praetor problem later! Tonight we have to rest! Perhaps I can find a new Praetor who can prove him or herself worthy tomorrow Okay! Dismissed" I said and I look away

Okay so Heres my problem? How can I find a new Praetor like Jason and Percy? I want a Praetor like them instead of Octavian.

I walked to the temple of my mother, Bellona. I asked for her guidance. But no answer.

I went back to the principia and seated into my seat. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

I woke when I hear the sound of a conch horn being blown.

Felix, Son of Venus went inside my room and reported whats happening

" Our Enemy Approaches" He said

"You mean Athena?" I asked

"No. Its the Minotour."

"What?!"

"The monster is attacking a demigod"

"You mean from the fifth cohort?" I asked

"No a new Demigod. And there is something different from this demigod"

" What do you mean?" I asked

"The way the demigod fight, its not very roman. its like...."

" A greek technique?" I guessed

"You already knew?"

"No. but this scene is familiar. it is exactly the same when Percy Arrived"

Felix was silent. The Conch horn blew again

"Where is it?" I asked

"Its in the Field of Mars"

"How did it pass the borders?" I asked

"I think its Minerva or Athena. Whichever. She's been sending monsters to us this last few days and Terminus doesnt stand a chance agaisnt the power of the goddess."

"I get your point. Well lets go" I said and went outside.

When I reached the Field. The boy was holding a bent sword at his right hand and a stick on the other he was dressed in a Lab professor way.He has a curly hair. I cant explain his face because he is too quick dodging the monsters attack.

He spoke a strange word but everyone of us cannot understand.

" Ha-di!" He shouted. A drawing appeard in front of The Minotour and it blasted a bomb in front of his face.

What was that? How did he do that? Did he throw a greek fire after he said the words because only greek fire has that kind of explosion.

Before I can Inspect the drawing. It already faded.

The Minotour was in a dazed after that. How can it survived a blast like that? I remembered that it was a monster.

Before it can recover, The boy slashed his bent sword and the monster disintegrated into ashes.

I walked near him and ask a single question

"Who are you?"

"Im Carter Kane. A Magician of the House of life"
