Frank

Frank was actually excited for war games. Ever since Percy got here, they have been really fun. But now it was the Greeks vs Roans and Frank defiantly, wanted to see Jason and Percy go at it.

He wondered who would win. They are both amazing fighters and have awesome powers. But if  Frank had to guess who would win his money would be on Percy. Frank seen what Percy could do and it was god like. Percy radiated four times more aura than Jason. And the stories he has heard at Percy! Oh man. This guy is a legend.

Jason on the other hand, had more aura than a normal demi-god but not nearly as much as Percy. Frank has heard part of Jason's stories, they seem exciting, but could even compare them to Percy. Frank has never seen what Jason could really do, so he wouldnt underestimate the legion's pervious Predator.

Frank  headed towards the Field or Mars with Conner and Travis by his side. Man, had they been a workout. Frank could believe these boys were so bad!  They kept pick pocketing the citizens in New Rome, they tripped Frank at least four times and not to mention they brought a pie and place it in Frank's seat at the cafe. These boys looked 16 but acted like they were 10. Beside them playing pranks, they were really fun people. They told Frank jokes and seemed really interested about the Romans.  But still, he didn't get how Percy put up with these boys. If they were Roman,  they be no telling what would have to them. Then again, as soon as they walk through the borders, Reyna would put them in check.  The main reason the Stoll brothers, bothered Frank was because he was always around discipline. Something these Greeks know nothing about.

They walked up to the Field of Mar and saw a few people were there. Frank looked at his watch and noticed they were a few minutes early.  Conner and Travis walked off to hang out with the Greeks and do, only the Gods know what.

Frank walked over to the weapon station and observed the Imperial Gold they had brought home yesterday.  It seemed so long ago. Frank thought about the upcoming quest. They hadn't received a prophecy, but he, Hazel, and Percy knew one line:

Wisdom's daughter walks alone

The Mark of Athena burns through Rome

Obviously, that had to do with Annabeth. But Frank kept wondering what was the Mark of Athena. He didnt know much or even any Greek history, but the walking alone part didnt sound good. 

Frank just got a terrible thought, What if the Greeks and Romans dont get along. They had been enimies for centuries. One quest together couldnt just  melt all of the tension.  Then Frank was pulled in to a vision.

                                                                 *********************

We was walking, in New Rome, wait, this place was a larger scale of Rome.  All the sudden Frank was splashed with blood, that wasnt his. Then a body fell at his feet. He noticed the girls face, it was Hazel! Frank looked around and saw her murder. It was...........Nico? NO way! That was her brother. Why would he do this.

I looked at Nico for an explanation. He said to Hazel, " Thanks for doing my dirty work. That's the only reason I brought you back to life. But you should thank me. They would have killed you more painfully and slowly.. Your not my sister. Bianca is my sister. You're just trash my dad put together." Hazel looked at Nico, blinked twice and never opened her eyes again.

Frank kneeled to the ground and shaked Hazel like crazy. He screamed, " HAZEL! HAZEL. COME BACK TO ME!"

Frank was so angry, Nico walked away, Frank was about to stop him, when  he looked around and saw more and more deaths.  He saw Percy and Jason batting to the deaths. Reyna and Piper fighting each other. Both looking like they will both drop any second. 

Frank turned around and saw Leo staring at him, his hands blazing.

"Now, Frank, I like to get this over with, so just go ahead and give me your stick. I promise it will be quick," Leo said.

Leo started to walk closer to Frank. He could feel his stick sinking closer and closer to the ground.  Then Leo threw a fire ball at Frank's pocket. The stick was on fire and Frank saw his life pass before his eyes. He fell on the floor, his entire body felt like it was on fire. It mostly likely was but Frank didn't want to look down. He thought to the Gods, Take me now. Dont put me through is pain, suffering, and misery.

I, Frank, I can take you out f our misery. All you have to do is join me. Said Gaea. Look around you Frank. You knew the Greeks and Romans wouldn't get along. Join me, and you don't have to go through this.

No, Frank thought. This is a dream. It will NEVER come true.

Ahh Frank, that is were you are wrong. it will come true. And deep down in your heart, you know it. Enimies for centuries cant, come together in a week nor month, nor year. It will take centries for the Greeks and Romans come together. Join me. Join me . Join me.

NO. NEVER. The gods are in power and always will be, Frank tried to argue, but wasnt doing very good.  

And WHAT, has the Gods, done for YOU, Fai Zhang?

Frank cringed at the sound of Gaea's voice it turned into his grandmothers. She even called him, Fai.

They have done nothing! That evil Juno put your life on a stick.  Join me and I will give you everything you ever wanted. Hazel, you grandmother, and your mom. The three most important women in you life, Gaea said with the sweetest voice ever. 

no, Frank tried to yell. But Gaea's offer was so tempting. But he wasnt going to give in.

Join me. Join me. Join me. Join me. Join me. Join me. Join me. Join me.........Gaea's voice echoced in Franks head. The words kept bouncing from the left side of his head to the right.

Frank woke out from his trance. He looked around, and noticed no one notice he was just staring into space. He walked to the Field or Mars, just in time for Reyna to explain the game.

"I expect I clean fight," bellowed Reyna. " No permanent injuries and no deaths." Reyna looked at Octavian. " Predator Jackson will be on the Greek's side while Jason will be on the Roman."

Both teams yelled from excitement. Frank was happy, they were given Jason, but Frank would take Percy any day. This is going to be an interesting game, Frank thought.

Reyna turned to the Greeks and chuckled, " I hope you know what you got yourself in too. Good luck, your going to need it."

"Keep your luck to yourself," yelled Clarisse, raising her electrical spear in the air. The Greeks shouted in agreement.

"Let the games begin!"
