Yes. You read that right. Greece has fallen...or at least the camp that has catered to Greek demigods for over three millennia has fallen. Camp Half-Blood had a traitor in their midst. A traitor with powerful allies who quickly burned the camp to the ground. Some were lost, some killed, and the rest who remained began the long trek across the country to the only place where they might be safe: Camp Jupiter.
Chiron banded what campers they had left, told them of the other camp and sent word to Camp Jupiter pleading for shelter. Chaos now threatens the camp daily with the arrival of new Greek campers to this foreign camp. This camp with strange customs and rules. While on the Roman end the Praetors are forced to hold up a balancing act of providing sanctuary while also trying to find the traitor before their home suffers the same fate as Camp Half-Blood.
New alliances are forged, new enemies are made, and these two worlds have to find some way to work together for the future of them all. Which side are you on? Which position will you take? It's time to jump in the fray because Greece has fallen.

Estelle was free of guard duty and long since finished her training that afternoon. It was evening now and had found herself sitting on the bank of the little Tiber river. She was dressed in her usual purple shirt and a pair of jeans. She was barefoot in the grass as her sneakers and socks laid just off to the side. Beside her also was her spatha that she had recently spent sharpening.
The young blonde was relaxed and leaning back on her hands. Her blonde hair was left to fall freely behind her. Her grey eyes watching the water as it flowed on by. She was not sure on why she had chosen this spot in particular to come and relax. Maybe because it was peaceful and silent, except for the sound of the river itself. Estelle could sit there all day and not get bored.
Of course she would eventually have to go back. Dinner was in the next few hours but until then she made no plans to leave this spot. She had clearly worked hard enough all day to warrant a time of relaxation. Tomorrow was another day and she could train then. That was unless she had guard duty she needed to be present for. But to her knowledge she didn’t.
It was a good day for once, she had spent time at the temple for awhile, praying to her father before going to training which was something she had not been able to do for awhile. The Greeks arrival had made it very hard on her, the visions coming almost constantly and it was driving her mad. While the peace in her mind lasted, she wanted to make the most of it. She went for a ride that morning, her horse running across the Fields of Mars and top speed, the wind in her red hair, the coolness on her face, it all made her feel like she could let everything else go for once and just enjoy herself.
After, she decided it would be a good time to get her bow out, it had been awhile and her arms were sore after a quiver worth of arrows, but she kept at it for another round, though her string snapped and an arrow flew far from where she had been aiming flying right past another girls face. " OH gods!" she ran over quickly and seeing that it was Estelle apologized quickly. " I am so sorry. My string broke. Are you alright?" she bit her lip feeling like absolute crap for almost hitting the other girl. It could have been very bad had that happened.
" I'm not normally so accident prone. It's just been awhile since I've been able to properly train and I'm trying to over do it." she sighed and ran a hand through her hair. " I really am sorry." she couldn't stop apologizing. Her face was flushed, she just felt so embarassed by all of it. " So um, what are you doing out here all by yourself?"

Estelle was enjoying the silence that surrounded her. That was until the silence was broken by the whizzing of an arrow flying past her face. Her first instinct was to duck in case there were any other arrows incoming and reached for her spatha. Though not long after the arrow a voice came running over with a string of apologies to follow. Had Estelle been sitting just a few feet over and she would have been hit with the arrow. That wouldn't have been very great for her or for Kadence. As to not worry her any further and hopefully get her to stop apologizing she waved it off. "Don't worry about it I am unharmed" she said.
Her grey eyes watched the red head ramble on about what happened. All that mattered was nothing happened which should have been a relief in itself. "I am alright I can ensure that one...not even a scratch" she told her. Estelle had set her sword back down now that the threat was figured out as nothing but an accident. "And this is why I don't use a bow" she said with a warm smile dancing on her lips. Estelle would stick to her own weapons that she had control where they landed.
"As for why I am out here...the silence and just a good relaxing day. Been training all day as well and what better way to unwind that sitting by the river away from everyone" she said with a shrug. Most would be hanging out with friends or still training. Not Estelle, of course she enjoying hanging out with friends but sometimes it was beneficial to just be alone with your own thoughts sometimes. "I can ask why you were practicing with a bow all the way out here" she pointed out kindly. There was no annoyance or any hint of anger whatsoever. She was merely curious of how all this came to happen.
" I see that, I just feel terrible. I am normally much better at this. I mean, my dad is Apollo for the gods sake. I should be great at archery, and I usually am. Its just that stupid string." she clenched her jaw shut finally, knowing she was talking too much. She was going to do her best just to shut up and not keep making an idiot out of herself. Between being on the welcoming crew and the camp augur she had a lot on her plate, and the visions normally knocking her on her butt just kept her from being as social as she really should be with her fellow romans. [break][break]
" Yes i suppose it is one way, though I guess there never really is silence in my head, thanks for that dad." she sighed and wrapped the bow string around the end of the bow and draped it over her back. She would have to fix it properly tonight, probably after dinner, barring any more headaches. She shrugged at the question and looked around. Truth be told, she didn't have a very good reason for being all the way out here other than the need to be away from her usual spots for awhile. [break][break]
" Honestly, since the Greeks arrived, any time I'm too near a bunch of people the visions hit harder than ever before, and its easier for me to be away from everyone. I've been keeping my distance from most people, with very few exceptions." some she actually preferred to be near, because if she was going to have a vision she would rather be near the people that knew how to help her though it. Dareios, Sam, Noah, Morrigan, they were the people she trusted the most in this camp, and the ones that she knew would help her when she needed it.

"Hey really I mean it, don't worry about it" she told her calmly. Estelle knew well enough everyone had bad days. Surely herself was included in that category. Sometimes bad days just couldn't be helped. Often times it tended to be a day in which the weather was clearly far to nice for her liking. She enjoyed storms they seemed to giver her an energy boost of sort. Without it sometimes she just felt awful and miserable. There was also days where her training just wasn't up to par like she wanted it to be.
Of course everyone knew about Kadence's visions. Estelle was very sympathetic towards her knowing it couldn't be easy. It seemed every demigods abilities had its flaws. Many looked up to the children of Jupiter because of their father. Though she couldn't imagine what visions were like. She had seen some that knocked her down and it wasn't a good sight. Most could control themselves and their flaws, except well Estelle got real pissed. However Kadence couldn't stop them.
"Ah yes the Greeks..." she said. It wasn't that she hated them or anything. She was just unsure if they could be trusted. Wasn't everyday that Greeks showed up in your camp and now they live alongside you. It changed camp dynamics and she certainly didn't like that.
" Yeah, ok thanks." she was trying so hard to be well, normal. It was hard, and the Greeks had been giving her a hard time. Noah had to intervene when they started shoving her around at the stupid bonfire they wanted to have. Leave it to children of the god of war to give her a hard time. She had done nothing to deserve it, they just were doing things like calling her a freak and wanting her to 'tell them their future' like that was how her power worked. It was not a comfortable situation, and Noah had lost it. Thankfully things deescalated but it was still difficult going there for awhile. [break][break] " Yes, and I don't have a problem with them, not really, I just can't keep in control with all these new people and the change in the dynamic since they arrived. With all the new potential situations its gotten harder." she shrugged and decided to sit down, enjoy the quiet for a bit even though she would likely do better just to go back to her room. It was the one place she really felt like was her sanctuary. Even the temple wasn't enough for that. [break][break]
" Maybe I need to take a vacation." she laughed a little bit at the mere idea of it. Her, on a beach far away from there. A certain praetor at her side, but someone there that could acutally cook and not set the kitchen on fire. It was a dream, but that was not going to happen, at least not anytime soon. He was too busy and she was needed, she was the one that would let them know if something terrible as on the horizon, it was her job, and she needed to do it.

Estelle patted the ground beside her motioning for to have a seat with her. She figured maybe Kadence could relax and enjoy the silence with her. Estelle didn't mind the company and she was sure it would help. "Maybe relaxing will help get your mind off it" she suggested calmly. Estelle always tried her best to help others in anyway she could. Even if it was the smallest acts of kindness. It was the least the daughter of Jupiter could do.
Her grey eyes watched her calmly unsure if she would accept the offer. "Their presence has definitely changed a lot of things here...hopefully things can calm down enough to almost be normal again" she said calmly. She could only hope things went back to normal. Or at least as normal as a demigods life could be. It almost seemed impossible though. The tensions were everywhere and the clashing of personalities was worse than anything else.
Though when she brought up vacation she couldn't help but let small laugh escape her lips. "By the gods I wish...vacation would be nice but between not exactly having real money to pay for some fancy vacation or the fact a monster would probably ruin it would be difficult." she said. She couldn't remember the last time she acted like a normal kid her age and went on vacation with her mother or graduated high school. Being a demigod kind of made that a bit harder for most of them unfortunately.
Kade sat down and looked out over the view before them. It was not often that she was able to really relax, it seemed that those were the times the visions tended to hit her the hardest. She had prayed to her father more than once, asking him to at least try to make sure they were spread out if they could be managed. She just could only take so much before she started to feel like her head was going to explode from the pain, from seeing the people she cared about in horrible situations. It wasn't an easy thing being an augur, much less, THE augur for Camp Jupiter and New Rome. [break][break]
" Never been the best at the whole relaxing thing." she admitted softly, her long legs kicked out in front of her. " I dont think its every really NORMAL around here. I mean, compared to the outside world we live in a crazy situation. Half of us orphans, the other half have family down in the city, its just a strange place to be in. I just try to find my place, do my job, and pray to the gods that someday one of these stupid visions will be able to help us all." it was what she had expected of her place as the camp Augur, to be able to help them, but so far they just seemed to be inconvienant to her and to the others that had to help her when they knocked her on her butt. [break][break] She shrugged, " I think the only place I could ever truly have a vacation doesn't exist. Somewhere where the visions wouldn't hit me at all, where I could just have some quiet. I feel like the only place that will ever happen would be once I cross over into the underworld and that is far from a vacation destination." she shrugged and moved her legs up against her chest, hugging them tightly to her. " Things going ok in the first cohort? No one trying to kill each other, nothing like that?"
Estelle leaned back on her hands calmly and looked out at the river before them. Estelle knew how to relax though very few times she took the time to. Between her constant training or guard duty she was always doing something. Though that wasn't including the nights she snuck out of camp when there was storms brewing just outside. Though even then she was still practicing for the most part. "If I am being honest life as a demigod is never normal. Guess that is just the wild life we live in" she said with a shrug. When she first discovered what she was she wasn't sure what to think. Over the years she just learned to accept the unexpected monsters and other craziness that came with this.
"Maybe one day they will give you some time to just relax even its a few days. The sudden crowd in camp certainly doesn't help but hopefully things can settle down soon" she said. She gave Kadence a reassuring smile. She knew she didn't understand what all of that was about. But she had a good idea because she had seen a few happen.
"As for first cohort I would say things are going alright..no ones killed anybody...not yet anyway. But lets not jinx anything, we know some of us can be a bit hot-headed.." she said with a light laugh. Sometimes personalities clashed and that was just how it was when living with others. "How's things in second cohort?" she asked.
