An Interesting Alliance (ON HOLD)

Chapter II

Reyna

I'm still seething in anger at Mercury who stopped to visit the Roman Camp, barged in the baths and told me that the gods needed me at Camp Half-Blood while only a towel covered me. If I had my knives, I would've castrated him and then kill him. Regardless of him being a god.

It was a good thing though that I had Aurum and Argentum. It really did scare him away...

So here I am on my Pegasus Guido, who replaced Scipio after he... departed, with my aegis cloak glittering and floating under the sun as I speed away to Long Island Sound.

All the legionnaires were surprised at why I am leaving, but since they knew that it was a direct order from the gods they understood. I left Frank to take care of the legion.

Walking through the Greek camp, I noticed a lot of new cabins, Jason is working really hard ever since he was made a Pontifex Maximus. At least he has Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite to help him.

As I was walking towards the Big House, a boy around my age passed me while sprinting towards a cabin that I suspect belongs to Poseidon (the seashells are a big giveaway).

"Reyna, my child, how are you?" the warm voice of the centaur called.

"Wondering why I have to come flying under a scorching sun to New York, but other than that just peachy" I grumbled to him not caring if I was rude the trainer of heroes. Instead of being upset, he just chuckled.

"You'll soon find out." Then he gestured to the Big House, "come inside, we're just waiting for Percy to arrive".

And with that, I entered the building not aware of what I am about to get involved with.

Will

"What?" the annoyed face of Percy snapped at me.

She looked terrible, instead of her natural tan skin she was pale as a ghost and black as a crow under the eyes. But instead of commenting on her appearance I replied with:

"Chiron needs you, at the Big House..."

Her reaction was comical. She flopped down hard on the sand and covered her face with her hands, groaning.

"Why?..."

"I don't know, he didn't tell me, but he did say it was important. Please move it, I have to get back to the infirmary and make sure that Nico stays in bed".

I scowled at the last part, and I remember once saying that he doesn't belong, that handsome idiot...

Oops! ADHD... got sidetracked.

"Ugh! Fine!" Percy whined dramatically, "Help me up Golden Boy".

I rolled my eyes at her childish antics, used to the fact that she called Golden Boy and helped her up.

We were walking in silence, knowing full well that it's going to be interrupted by either one of us. What would you expect, we're both ADHD.

"So..." Percy began, "you and Nico are a thing yet?"

"What!?...!" I sputtered, feeling a blush creeping up on my neck.

"Are you and Nico a thing yet?" she repeated slowly like I was a five-year-old.

Regaining a bit of control of my emotions I reply: "No, we're not. Why would you say that?"

"Oh! Nothing. Just a silly thought." And then she laughs a bell-like laugh and I leave her enter the Big House.

The only thing I cached before I closed the door was: "What can I do for you old horse?"...

Typical Percy...

Now, to the infirmary I go...

Tell me what you think...
