The House of Hades

Frank XVIII

I hope you enjoyed last chapter.

Frank

Kidnappingn Octavian was easy. He was checking out the Argo II with some roman officers. He landed in the ship, just at the same time the Party Ponies arrived. They took the ship easyly. They tied up the hostages to the mast, and Frank personaly grabbed Octavian. He thanked Octavian, because he installed some cannons and greek fire launchers, since they were going to use it against camp Half-Blood.

Octavian ran to the nearest ballista. "Going somewhere?" Frank asked.

"You'll never win this war, Gaea will destroy everybody" Octavian said.

"You work for Gaea, you little piece of centaur poop" Frank said.

Frank hit Octavian so hard, that he knocked him out.

He went to the room where they had the greek fire and ammo for the ballista. Everything was in it's place, he also saw explosive canon balls, they made the war machine into a flying military base

. Leo would be very angry, but he didn' care. The romans tried to manipulate the Archimedes' sphere and they accidentaly broke it, but they still had the scrolls.

He barely knew how to fly that thing, but he knew two commands, up and forward. He teached the party ponies how to fly it. They flew to battle.

They reached the battlefield just in time, and the roman army retreated.

Everybody made a circle around Octavian, like he was a threat alone.

"I recovered the ship, and bruoght prisoners." Frank said.

"The mision was a success, then" Clarisse said

"Not at all, look" Chiron said, sadly

The forest was in flames, Peleus was bleeding, campers were wounded, some of them were missing.

The wind stopped, monsters stopped growling, and a lady in green robes appeared, everybody drew their wepons, and Octavian bowed. The lady spoke without moving her lips.

"You won a battle," Gaea said "You captured my lituent, but he is just a pawn, you'll never win this war" and she dissapeared.

"Let's go to to the bunker."

"Octavian works for Gaea, right? Hazel asked

Frank nodded

"If the legion finds out, they will leave Octavian, the romans will fight with honor, but when someone works for the enemy, even if it's a high rank officer they will leave him and punish him for the rest of his life." Bobby, now in the greek side said.

"Let's send a team of three under the flag of truce, with Octavian."

Everyone turned their eyes to Piper.

"I woun't go, Reyna will kill me"

"Hazel, Leo and Frank can go, Leo will apologuise" Jason said

"But-" Leo complained "Yes, Jason"

"Reyna, we have visitors under the flag of truce" a guard said

"Let them pass" She answered

Reyna reached for his dagger and attacked Leo, but Hazel and Frank held her back.

"Jeez Reyna, we are in a peacefull mision!"Frank said

She calmed down a little.

"Octavian works for Gaea" Hazel said

"You betrayed the legion, you betrayed Rome, why should I trust you?

"You have reason at not trusting us, but if we don't trust us, Gaea will destroy everything"

Reyna thinked a little and finally said

"Tell me your story"

Hazel told Reyna about their encounter with Gaea, after the battle was over.

"I swear by the River Styx that this is what happened" Hazel said

"And I swear by the Ryver Styx that the eldions made me shot the ballista over New Rome" Leo said

"Is the story true Octavian?"

"Ovbiously not Reyna! I would never betray Rome, don't trust them!"

"Swear it" Reyna "Swear it by the River Styx, there are worse things that death"

"Now I am your enemy, okay kill me"

"Swear it!"

"They will never belive you, kill me"

"Romans!" Reyna shouted "This attack is Terra's fault! Octavian works for her! I swear for the River Styx!"

"She is lieing she-" Octavian's voice changed "You can't defead me, even if you had a hundred camps, much less only two camps, you shall fail and I will be fully awake!"

Octavian's body dissapeared. With that, the legion advanced to Camp Half-Blood.
