Your POV

"Look," I said as I entered the Big House. Annabeth and I sat down at the living room. Seymour growled at us as we entered. "If this is about me letting Leo sit at my table at dinner, or me sitting with his siblings at the campfire, all I have to say is, I have a doctor's note."

Annabeth rolled her eyes while Chiron just smiled at me.

"Not to worry, child," he said kindly. "You are not forbidden to do such. There is a serious matter on our plates right now."

"Is this about the great prophecy? Do you think those three are part of the eight?" I asked.

Annabeth spoke up, "Jason knows all these things but he's never been to this camp before. I would've known if he did stay here briefly since I was here since I was seven. Another disturbing thing is that he doesn't exactly know things the way we know them to be. He called the anemoi as venti. He refers to the gods by their Roman counterparts. He knows about the prophecy. He can speak Latin."

I waited to see if Annabeth would say more. When she didn't, I looked at Chiron. Oh he knew. But his sad expression told me that he really can't say whatever it was. I knew that Annabeth and I would be the only ones who would hold up this conversation.

"Are you saying," I started, "that Jason is a Roman demigod? That he's been staying at some Roman camp?"

"Think about it, (y/n)," she said. "Would Mount Othrys collapse out of nowhere? Or did someone else take care of that problem?"

"But if there was a Roman camp, New York would be a hot zone. Magicians at Brooklyn House only detected magical unrest somewhere in Long Island. That would be this camp. They didn't mention anything about other sources of magic in the Bronx or queens or wherever."

"The thing is, how far have you been looking?" Annabeth asked.

"You think they're in California?" I looked at Chiron, who nodded glumly.

This was a lot to process. "Okay," I started. I inhaled deeply and looked back at Annabeth. "If there are Roman gods, why would they stay in California? And why would I even believe that they exist? Don't the Greek gods already run the universe?"

"(Y/n)," Annabeth sighed, "first of all, you of all people should be the one to easily accept the existence of other types of gods. You've been host to an Egyptian god once! You've saved the world on both the Greek and Egyptian side!" (A/N EDIT: okay so for this to work, remember: Julius forced you to become a fire elementalist and follow the path of Ra. During the fight with Apophis, Carter and Sadie went to help Amos first while you and Zia distracted Apophis. Ra hosted you first so Zia wouldn't be tired when the Kanes came back to help you. This also gave you a bit of left over power to help with Apophis' execration)

"Fair point."

"Second, the camp's locations would be symbolic of the ancient days. Like how Mount Olympus is on the Empire State building because New York is currently civilization's hotpot. The gods would pick the highest point of Manhattan. Brooklyn House, another example, stays in Brooklyn, because Egyptians would stay on the east banks of the river. Greece is, geographically, on the east, while Ancient Rome is west. If Camp Half-Blood is on the east coast-"
