Life Before the Argo 2 [DISCONTINUED]

Journey's End

As Jason strolled past the remains of a Laistrygonian, he saw two soldiers in armour guarding an old maintenance door under a highway. Why would anyone bother with something like that? The trail led to the door, so the only explanation Jason could find was that that was where the camp was.

Jason walked as casually as he could to the maintenance door so as to not arouse attention.

However, before he had gone more than 5 steps, the soldiers turned and spotted him.

They glanced at each other and waited for Jason to approach. The minute Jason was two yards from them, they raised their weapons.

Jason was afraid of these soldiers. Lupa had not told him that much about them. He certainly had not expected to see the hard faces and steely stares.

Jason held up his hands in a gesture of surrender and said, just as Lupa had told him to, "I am Jason Grace, and I am a demigod who wishes to join the legion. "

The taller of the two soldiers laughed. "You? A member of the legion? Why, a hellhound could snap you in one bite. "

Jason was shocked by this soldier's behavior. Lupa had told him that they were kind and could be trusted, but this person was not kind at all.

"Silence, Edmund. The boy is still a Roman, and we must bring him to our Praetor. That is our duty. " The girl, who was obviously of a higher authority, said to the boy named Edmund.

Jason calmed down and told them, "Lupa told me to come. "

Edmund's eyes widened. "If he knows of Lupa, then he is indeed a half-blood. " he said.

"Right, He's Edmund and I'm Chelsea. We're members of the legion and we'll escort you to our Praetor. Follow us. "

Sorry. The last last few chapters were mostly fillers. Once I get to his quests it'll be more interesting.
