Seal of the Betrayed

Making Rome my Bitch

Ch. 6

He walked with purpose through the invisible boundaries that kept the dangerous monsters and enemies away. The problem for the demigods of Camp Jupiter was that they had never encountered an enemy of his kind, so the boundaries did nothing to prevent Percy Jackson from strolling in like any other demigod walking into Camp Jupiter.

As he reached the Little Tiber, a pack of wolves appeared in his path as he laid eyes on the camp. The alarms sounded as the legion went into a frenzy as they scrambled to get their weapons together and get into battle formations.

Percy stopped; the expression on his face very different than the one he showed up to Camp Half-Blood wearing. This was more personal and he had no intention of joking around.

"You dare show your face here traitor?" A female voice growled in his mind.

Percy's eyes snapped to his left making the wolf goddess stumble back a step when she laid eyes on the milky white eyes on the camp's one time praetor.

"Silentio canis exprimamus." He spat back.

The pack of wolves began to growl after the way the intruder spoke to their goddess. Two of the larger males crouched down and got ready to pounce before Percy snapped his fingers and their heads exploded, covering the rest of the pack in the blood and head fragments of two of their stronger pack members.

The rest of the pack stayed crouched as they slowly backed away in fear.

Percy turned back to Lupa who was also trying to back away. He appeared behind the wolf goddess and pinned her down with a foot to the back as he slipped a choke chain around her neck before beginning to walk away. When the chain tightened as it ran out of slack, he pulled roughly as the goddess was dragged behind him with a pained yelp.

"It's celestial bronze bitch. You don't get to miss a moment of this." Percy growled as he continued dragging the Roman goddess behind him.

Reyna, minor Roman goddess of battle and Consul of the city of New Rome appeared at the edge of her camp in a flash of light. The past decade had been good to the one time demigoddess. She earned the gift of godhood from the Olympians for her efforts in the second Giant War as well as her efforts in convicting her one time friend and fellow praetor Percy Jackson of treason against the gods.

She felt guilt worm its way into her heart when the name Percy Jackson entered her mind.

Despite how many years she had spent loathing the demigod after their initial encounter, they had developed a slight friendship during his short time at Camp Jupiter. It only grew during the war as they worked together, the leader of the Greek demigod army and the Roman demigod army. They had been the keys to uniting the two groups and ensuring a working relationship between the two different armies of demigods.

Percy and she grew especially close when they discovered Percy's supposedly faithful girlfriend was spending her downtime from the war getting pounded out by Jason Grace anywhere they could in the war camp.

Percy had taken it rather well, even to the point where Reyna wondered how much he ever truly cared for the daughter of Athena.

She had developed feelings for him during their time working so closely which is why to this day she was tormented by her decision to go along with the Olympians and Percy's fellow friends in branding him a traitor and banishing him to Tartarus.

In her defense, her options were to join them or suffer the same fate as Percy but it didn't help quell any of the self-loathing and guilt she had been trying to get over for the last ten years.
