A girl greeted me, TK, LiLi, and Gryffin. Her eyes were a harsh obsidian black colour, her shimmering black hair was in a long braid. She was also very tall, at least 5'8". Her face kind of had a stern expression but she had been crying.
She completely took me and Gryffin for granted and sprinted towards TK and LiLi. " Oh Styx, oh Styx, oh STYX! YOU'RE BACK! " She said, a wild grin on her face. She then got herself together and said in a happy but serious voice, " Tracial, Lillian... I didn't think you were coming back... Where did you go last year? "
TK straightened his posture. " Reyna, I- "
Reyna turned to me and Gryffin. " Nikius, Is that you? " Her face twisted into a frown.
" Uh, do I know you? " I shrinked. " M-mine name is Nikius Caesar. "
TK went stiff. " Yes, that is Nikki... They don't remember any of it. "
Reyna sighed. " To many Demigods are lost to amnesia. Jason, Percy... Nikki. "
I sighed. " Is this a prank? Because I'll beat the ever living shit out of you! "
Reyna laughed so hard. She must not have laughed much because she had the slightest laughlines i'd ever seen. " They're personality didn't change at all, evidently. "
" Guys, I'm really confused. " Gryffin said.
" Who's this? " Reyna asked TK.
" That's Gryffin McKyler. She's a naiad, I believe. I think she might be a powerful demigod, too, based on the aura she's giving."
" Hello. " Reyna said to Gryffin.
" Uh, hey. " Gryffin side eyes her suspiciously.
Reyna looks down at me. " Can I have a private chat with you, Nikius? "
I nodded carefully and Reyna dragged me to an empty Pavilion.
Reyna leaned down and whispered to me, " You really don't remember. "
" I don't! I don't remember. " I cried, frustrated.
" It's okay. We'll get your memory back! " Reyna insisted. I didn't know who 'we' was. " This is Camp Jupiter. You are a Praetor of the Twelth Legion. You lived here. You are half dryad, half God. You've been here since you were ten and I was eleven. You are my friend. "
" The memory is fuzzy. " I tried so hard to remember, it was slightly coming back. " I don't think it's working. "
" I know. The memory will probably come back after a tour of the camp. Follow me. " Reyna took me out of the pavilion, people stop and stare.
-
Bits and pieces of my memory eased back. I am Praetor of the Twelth Legion, I am good friends with Reyna, I am half monster, half god. I am a Roman.
" ...And last is your Cohort. the Fifth one. Do you remember? " I walked into the Cohort, my eyes widened and everything came back. The trainees, the friends, the augurs, EVERYTHING.
" I REMEMBER, TK! LILI! GRYFFIN! " Everyone went silent and gaped at me. I've never felt more awkward in my life
" What? " A girl who I recognized as Hazel Levesque asked.
" Nikki... Had amnesia. We don't know how. " LiLi said. I was excited, Reyna had also drawn attention to the tattoo on my arm with five markings symbolizing five years, and also the marking on my sturnum of a circle A ( the anarchist symbol ).
" Oh... So they remember now, right? " Hazel said.
" I suppose. Nikki, let's do a quiz. " TK smiles. "How long have you been here?"
" Five years. I was ten. " I answered quickly.
" You are praetor of the... " TK trailed off for them to answer.
" Twelth legion! " I said, a huge grin plastered on their face. They liked the idea of all that power.
" You're mother is..." TK trailed off again.
" Trivia. " I chirped.
" Last question: are you alive or dead? "
" Uh, alive? " I snorted.
" Err, yes. " TK hesitated.
My smile faded. " I'm dead? "
Hazel sighed. " TK! You are so bad at this! "
Gryffin facepalmed.
" I- not exactly... Your memories of living in a forest are not real. I mean, you did, until you were ten. Then, you died. The reason we were all in that cage is because I went to look for you. LiLi and I were pretending to be scared, we had been captured by Euryale and Stheno. " TK explained.
( OH SHIT YALL PLOT TWIST )
