Reyna Finds Love

Setting Off on a Safe Adventure

"You will not find love where you wish or where you hope. No demigod shall heal your heart."(Blood of Olymmpus, pg. 492) Those words often swirled in Reyna's mind. She was doomed to watching as people grew up and fell in love, a layer of ice forming around her heart, barriers she didn't want to fall down. She didn't want another unrequited crush. It was... painful. No, she is much better off the way she is. Curse Venus/Aphrodite.

After the giant statue debacle, she practically adopted Nico as a little brother. To be honest, she couldn't resist. 

As a bonus, Octavian is gone, sure she shouldn't be relieved, but he was a pain, bullying other's and making her work harder. He tried to incite Romans into a frenzy against the Greeks, and brought in monsters, nearly destroying both camps. 

Also even though the circumstances that lead to Frank being elected were unique, he has eased her workload tremendously. 

Her,  Piper, and Annabeth were nearly sisters. She had made a family in both camps, with Piper even offering her a shoulder to lean on, or merely a friend to gossip with. It's strange that they originally disliked each other. Yes. Her life was as peaceful as it ever had been, and was as good as it was going to get, long past surpassing her expectations.

The only thing left to do was fulfill her dreams of travelling overseas, you know without the threat of immediate death, or lugging a giant war stopping statue cross country. Yes, Reyna was going to go backpacking. Backpacking through Europe, many even Asia and Africa. She'd keep in contact as she traveled the world. 

First she started tying off loose ends. She stepped down as Praetor and watched as they voted Hazel to her place. Talk about a power couple. She gave her reason, and while everyone was shocked, they accepted her decision and wished her well. There were some threats on her bodily health if she didn't Iris message them often, mostly from Annabeth and Piper, but it was really sweet.

She decided to hitch a ride with a hippocampi from Camp Halfblood for phase one of her journey. First stop, Great Britain.

She used the satchel from Phoebe, with the magic tent and healing potions, she'd be well stocked. Add in her silver pocket knife, imperial gold dagger, spear-sword-coin, and nearly impenetrable cloak, plus a couple mortal steel throwing knives, she was very prepared for whatever she might have to face. So she thought. 

Then again, who would expect a drunk werewolf?

AN- Reyna is now 24, in 1985. This takes place almost 8 years after the Second Giant War.
