Leo's POV:

I was talking to Dakota when I noticed a kid with black hair walked up to Reyna and said something that caused her eyes to widen. She quickly stood up and tapped a utensil to her glass causing the conversations to stop as they all looked at her.

"I have recently been informed that our Praetor, Percy Jackson, has undertaken a task given by Lady Diana herself" Reyna said and there was a dead silence before shouting matches began

"When will he be back!?" Someone yelled

"Be back? He belongs at Camp Half-Blood!" Luke yelled

"He is our Praetor! He belongs here!" Dakota shouted

The shouting got more intense and I tried to get away when I spotted a blonde skinny kid sneering.

"The Greeks cannot be trusted! Trying to steal our Praetor from us!" the kid shouted and I glared

"The Romans can't be trusted, trying to take our friend from his rightful home!" Luke growled

"His rightful home is here, with the legion!" a girl snarled

"Hey, calm down!" I heard Piper say but no one listened to her

"Quiet!" Jason yelled and everyone was quiet for a second before they started yelling at him

"Traitor!"

"Greek Sympathizer!"

"You're not a real Roman!" Someone yelled before they started throwing things at Jason and the others

That's when I noticed the kid that delivered the news grow into an adult and his eyes flashed with power. He then snapped his fingers and everything that was flying through the air froze in mid-flight.

"ENOUGH!" His voice boomed the command and everyone went silent "Pathetic, you are roman soldiers not five year old toddlers that throw tantrums when they don't get their way!" the man said and the skinny blonde kid stepped forward and pointed at the man

"Who are you? Some Minor god the Greeks brought to try to defend them?" He sneered and the man let out a cold laugh that even made frost appear on the things around him

"Me? I am Chaos, who are you? Wait, don't answer, you are an insignificant speck of dust" Chaos said and everyone bowed except the kid

"I don't believe you, the auguries didn't say anything about the creator visiting us" He scoffed "You're just an imposter who wants respect" He finished

"Really now? So im guessing you think that you can beat a minor god such as myself correct?" He taunted

"Of course, any self-respecting roman worth their salt can defeat a minor god, and I will prove it by challenging you to a duel right here right now" He said and Chaos laughed before snapping his fingers and the area around everyone warped and shifted until we were standing in a flat area

In the center was an array of weapons that ranged from daggers, to spiked maces. The kid's eyes widened as he saw the change in scenery. I looked at Chaos who was smirking at the kid's face.

"Not so confidant now are you Octavian?" He said and Octavian scowled

"This is nothing, just a visual trick" Octavian spat as he walked forward and picked up a gladius and a golden rod that had an eagle on the top

During all of this, everyone was quiet, obviously knowing that if they spoke out of line, they would share the same fate as Octavian. Well, almost everyone. I smirked as I took in a deep breath and faced Chaos.
