Jeyna: A History

Reyna

Reyna wasn't in love with this whole game everyone seemed to be playing. They all seemed to know more about her than she did herself. Aaron said he had just come back from a meeting with Telemachus about her and yet she was completely confused as to what they could be discussing. Jason seemed to be on good terms with the augur as they also had a rather long and complicated secret handshake. They began to laugh and reminisce about something called wargames and how funny it was when something called the fifth hammered something else called the first. At this remark the kid, Octavian, scoffed and began to sulk into the corner. As he began to slip away Aaron turned to him and said "Hey, if you didn't want to lose so bad you shouldn't have made it so easy." He looked at Jason and the two fist bumped which caused Octavian's face to turn as purple as his toga. Then the boys seemed to remember why they were here in the first place. "Oh! Right the auguries!" he faced the fire behind him and unfastened on of the stuffed animals hanging off of his belt. He held what looked like a pig over the fire and with a dagger that was solid gold he shredded the belly of the animal and let the stuffing fall into the fire. He took a minute standing over the burnt fuzz until he looked back at Reyna. He wore a quizzical expression on his face but the confusion seemed to drift off as it was replaced with a smile. "You're good!" he said. "The Gods say you can join the legion! Welcome." Reyna didn't quite know what to feel. She was excited that this whole endeavor wasn't all for not but she was still concerned with her past catching up with her. This would be a new and big step in her life and she didn't know if she was ready to move on yet. Jason put his hand up for a high five and Reyna meet him. She smiled and as they walked back down temple hill she noticed a small red building on the northern side. The temple was large but not as large as Jupiter's. She was struck with curiosity when something caught her eye. Above the door was a symbol Reyna immediately recognized. The silver cross of a sword and a torch. This was the temple of her mother Bellona.
