Marcus POV
I looked around my, no, the camp. This place is not mine. Even if I kept it together after the coward Percy Jackson left, after he left Annabeth a wreck, it is not mine. I was wrenched from my thoughts as I heard a sound much like kaijus in that one movie from 2013, Pacific Rim, wasn't it? But, a ship landed just shy of the strawberry fields. It was huge, and black, covered with stars. The door hissed as eight figures exited the belly of the metal beast, none of them bothering to hide their identities.
The first, I did not recognize, but he was tall, with sandy blonde hair and sky blue eyes. he wore a forest-green cape with a caduceus on it. Then it struck me that this could be Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, who's spirit disappeared from the underworld centuries ago.
The second man was HUGE. He was tall. He was completely ripped, with dark skin and chocolate eyes. he wore a fiery red cape with a hammer on it. This could only be Charles Beckendorf, son of Hephaestus. He, like Luke, I recognized from pictures in Chiron's office.
The third guy was quite familiar. He had close-cropped blonde hair and electric blue eyes. he wore a sky blue cape with a lightning bolt on it. This was Jason Grace.
The fourth man was also familiar, with his wild, black curls and chocolate eyes, Leo Valdez had changed very little in 1,000 years. He, too, wore a red cape emblazoned with a blazing hammer.
The first woman was, in short, hot and not changed at all. Piper McLean still had choppy brown hair and kaleidoscopic eyes with a Cherokee skin tone. She wore a pink cape with a dove on it, and she was holding Jason's hand.
The second woman was even prettier than Piper, with long, wavy black hair and sky blue eyes. She, too, was instantly recognizable from pictures Chiron had. This was Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite, and she was, like in the pictures, holding Charles' hand. She wore a pink cape with a heart on it.
The third woman was changed little as well, with her still-braided long black hair and her not-quite so cold dark chocolate eyes. Reyna Columbio wore a dark red cape with a flaming torch displayed in the fabric. She, surprisingly, held the hand of Leo Valdez.
I was very surprised.
The fourth woman was no surprise at all. Clarrise LaRue stood there, armed to the teeth in everything from knives to swords, morning stars to electric spears. She looked the same, really, stringy brown hair in an orange bandanna, camo vest, but this time, with a bloodred cape with a bloody boar's head on it.
Seven people, three of which who were supposed to be dead, had just stepped from the ship and left all jaws on the ground. Leo, childish as ever, waved. This was a commander of Chaos' Army? They must be in a sorry state if Leo was in charge, even though, admittedly, he is a very powerful demigod. Not very reserved, either. Almost closed the Doors of Death, but a girl, a daughter of Rhea got there first. Damn, that girl had been fine... but I have Annabeth now. Natalia is in the past.
"Hello, People of Camp Half-Blood! It's great to see you all again!" The voice of Luke Castellan broke over the crowd. A riot began in the immortal campers of the second Titanomachy. I stepped between Chris Rodriguez , and the Commanders.
Chris POV
That two-faced, life stealing, war starting, son of a-...is that Clarrise? She grinned at me and pushed through the ranks of commanders. I pushed past Marcus, who turned out to be not quite so bad once he saw that Camp had gone to shambles without Percy. He tried to fill the gaping hole left by Percy when he was killed. Keyword being tried. But he did his best.
At first I had thought that I would hate all the commanders of Chaos for thinking us weak, and throwing their help at us like we couldn't defend ourselves.
Maybe we could get along after all.
Hey! Sorry it's so short. I rushed it a bit. I almost had Clarisse instead of Chris, with Silena waving slightly and giving a soft smile, but then I remembered,
"You're a dumbass! You killed off Clarisse in the first chapter!"
Silly stupid me. Review the word "Alagaesia". I want to know who's paying attention!
Peace, Love, and Bacon,
