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.

It was hard not to feel homesick for Camp Halfblood. Sienna was grateful the Romans had offered them a safe place to stay, but she couldn’t say that she felt exactly welcome here. So far it seemed as if many Romans looked down on the Greeks for their lack of military discipline, as if that was the defining way to measure a culture.
For the most part things weren’t bad, just different. No Satyrs, couches instead of proper dining tables, people separated by ranks instead of families. Sienna couldn’t help but feel like Camp Jupiter was lacking in personality. The various cohort bunks all looked kind of the same. Sure the first cohort bunk seemed to be a bit nicer, and each cohort had their cute little mascot, but the whole place had a cookie cutter feel to it. The bunks in Camp Halfblood all looked completely different and showcased the personalities of the gods they represented. Sienna missed the bright rainbow colors of the Iris cabin. She hadn’t known much about Greek mythology when she showed up at Camp Halfblood, but one look at her cabin and she knew that was where she belonged. Sienna knew that had to be true for other demigods as well.
Right now she and all the other Camp Halfblood refugees were in a place where there wasn’t a real sign of welcome for them. Sienna wanted to change that. The emergency cohort shelter they had been put in was fine, but it lacked personality, they lacked any sign of who it was supposed to belong to. Sienna wanted to change that.
She was going to do a mural of Camp Halfblood on the largest outside wall of the emergency cohort shelter. It was going to be set up like a map with cute cartoon versions of all the bunks and structures of her old camp. She had drawn up a few ideas on paper and was now marking things out in chalk on the side of the building. Sienna had never done a project this big before, but that wasn’t going to stop her. Neither was the fact that she hadn’t asked anyone if it was okay for her to paint the outside of the Greek cohort building.
This was a big project and would probably take a few days to complete, right now she was just marking the basic outlines of what she wanted to do in chalk. It occurred to her that she should get at least one thing done that was permanent today. One thing to let everyone know whose cabin this was, to let everyone know there was at least one place in Camp Jupiter where the Greek demigods belonged.
Sienna lifted a red bandanna that had been tied around her neck over her mouth and nose. She began to tag the side of the building in big graffiti letters. Camp Halfblood. She took a few steps back to admire her work. The letters were black but with large gaps of empty space she would fill in later with a rainbow gradient. Rainbows meant hope, and that was exactly what the Greek campers needed now.
Sienna noticed that someone was standing nearby. ”What do you think? she called out.
Aurora in the time being here wasn't the biggest fan of Camp Jupiter. Maybe it was the lack of freedom Camp Half Blood always offered. Or maybe it was the lack of those that had still yet to arrive. Aurora was doing better for sure since she had just arrived but she would always have that nagging feeling of something was missing. They all had lost friends and siblings in the chaos. For some they were not aware of the fates. And though Aurora held a smile on her face it was just hiding the true emotions and lack of sleep.
Aurora having grown restless in the barracks had headed outside to get some fresh air. The sound of shuffling and then the smell of paint reached her. It had certainly caught her attention and she made her way over. She stood back watching from a short distance. He brown gaze saw Sienna writing graffiti on the barrack wall. On her way over she had seen the chalk and had admired it with interest. Aurora was no artist when it camp to paints and things like graffiti, yet give her make-up or clothes and she could make a nice outfit of anything.
"It looks amazing...definitely lets everyone know this belongs to us Greeks" she said. She ran her fingers through her hair and offered Sienna a soft smile. This is exactly what they need in that moment. Something to remind them that even if they weren't in their home they were still those from Camp Half Blood. A much needed boost for their morale.
All demigods had fatal flaws. Siennas fatal flaw was that she never thought about the consequences of her actions. It was fortunate that the person watching her work had been a Greek instead of a Roman. Sienna hadn’t even thought about what she might do if she had been called out by an angry legionnaire.
Sienna beamed at the compliment from Aurora. Sienna recognized the daughter of Aphrodite, but hadn’t spent much time with her before. In any case children of the goddess of love and beauty were known for having excellent taste, it was good to have one around for some input.
Sienna lowered her bandana around her neck. ”Cool, that’s what I was going for.” she took a moment to look over at the beginnings of a mural. ”You know, it’s like the Romans haven’t been super welcoming. I wanted to do something to make this feel more like home. I want everyone who comes in from Camp Halfblood to know they have a place here.”
Sienna dropped the can of spray paint into a box of various paints and brushes. The barest outline of the mural existed, but Sienna was pretty sure she was done for the day. It had been a lot of work marking everything out, and dragging around a ladder so she could get to the higher parts of the wall. It was kind of scary looking at a project this large, it was going to take more commitment that Sienna typically wanted to give to a project. Somehow she felt like this was the most important thing she had done so far. Other campers got sent on dangerous quests to battle monsters and retrieve artifacts from far off places, maybe this was the closest Sienna was going to get to a quest. She wasn’t saving the world, but she was bringing some beauty and joy to it. Seemed appropriate for a daughter of Iris.
With a sudden idea Sienna turned to Aurora. ”Do you paint?” Sienna was pretty sure she would already know about it if that was the case, still it didn’t hurt to ask. Honestly you didn’t need a lot of artistic talent to help out on a project like this. There were big stretches of wall that were would need solid areas of color. Big green areas for field and forest, big blue areas for the sky and the lake. They would be different shades obviously, but still all she needed was someone who could color inside the lines using the shade she told them to use. That’s what all the outlines were for in the first place. She could start things with a solid base of color and add in details after it dried.
Sienna ”Im thinking if we can get lots of Greeks involved with the project it will feel like this space really belongs to us.” she gave a shrug ”Plus my arms are killing me and this will take forever if I try to do this alone. What do you think.” she said silently hoping that Aurora could offer her some help.
Aurora stepped in closer once she was finished with the spray paint. She pushed her hair back behind her ears. "Well your not wrong about the romans" she pointed out to her. She had seen it and experienced it first hand with just how unwelcoming the Romans could be. She tried to not let it bother her too much. There was more important things for her to deal with. "It definitely makes the place more welcoming" she said to her with a soft smile.
Running her fingers through her hair once more as she was then asked if she painted. Aurora wasn't always good at art, makeup and fashion maybe. Painting was a different story however. "I mean I have never been good at art, but give me something simple to paint and I can possibly help" she told her. She gave her a light shrug figuring why not help.
Maybe it would even give Aurora something new to occupy her. Any sort of distraction was a welcome one in her mind. It gave her less time to think on the negative and think of a positive. She may not have been an artist but it seemed like a good idea. Even more so if they could get more to work on it with them.
”Have you had any bad run ins with the Romans?” she asked Sienna hated to be judgmental but what she had seen so far of Camp Jupiter had been concerning. Camp Jupiter was structured into a strict hierarchy of ranks. The Greeks didn’t fit neatly into the military system of Camp Jupiter, and Sienna couldn’t help but think the Romans were threatened by that.
If the situations had been reversed and Camp Jupiter had been destroyed Sienna liked to think the new campers would have been welcomed at Camp Halfblood with open arms. At best the Romans seemed suspicious of the newcomers, at worst they seemed like bullies eager to prove their superiority in one form or another. Sienna was not going to stand for any of her fellow Greeks getting bullied and wanted to keep tabs on what was happening around camp.
Realistically there wasn’t a whole lot she could do to stand up to the Romans besides make a statement with her art. Frankly, Sienna had never been very realistic when it came to challenging people she didn’t like. She was bound to get herself into serious trouble with the Romans and the mural was just going to be the start of it.
Aurora said she wasn’t very good at art. ”Everybody’s got to start somewhere.” she replied with a shrug. ”You get better with practice. But don’t worry, plenty of easy color in the lines type of work to be done.”
Sienna took a moment to stretch her arms and back sore from the work she had done so far. ”Like, I’m thinking maybe we could get a bunch of people involved. Get everyone united with a big project, get our minds off of things. What do you think?”
Aurora had to think over her experience here when Sienna asked about any bad run ins. "Not really maybe a few looks... but that is about it. What about you?" she asked. She knew how Sienna felt because she felt it too. They fit in here and that obvious. At Camp Half Blood things were much more relaxed and not so strict. Of course they still had rules that needed to followed.
Though the moment she started thinking about Camp half Blood and what it was like caused a light frown to cross her expression. it almost felt like a distant memory and a painful at that. Though as quick as the frown appeared she hid it behind another forced smile. She needed to stay positive, now more than ever. With a deep breath she lifted her brown gaze back to Sienna after it had down to the ground for a short moment.
"I guess your right. I am good with a make-up brush...can't be too different right" she said with a light laugh. Aurora was always good at trying to mask her feelings. She figured it was better than worrying others with them. Plus her siblings had never been ones to help. if anything since her arrival here they had been trying to push her to go out and try and talk to new people. No doubt trying to get her to forget about Kaidan.
