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.

Jax had woken up early, a habit that he wasn't exactly known for. It was a wonder that he had gotten any sleep at all. He had never been more excited to get up and start his day. First stop being the Mess Hall. Today wasn't just a day to flex his skills against other demigods. Today was a day that allowed him to test his skills against an entire other camp. War games were fun. He never got to pummel Greeks in the war games though. He had eaten a breakfast solid in protein to keep him full. No sugar so he wouldn't have to worry about a crash, nor fuel the jittery excitement that he already had. The boy had been filled with antsy energy all morning.
In true Mars form, he had signed up for every combat event that they would allow. The blonde nodding his head in impatient irritation as he had listened to the opening speech and rules. He had no patience for any of that. He was ready to play. He watched the first two matches. One Greek win. One Roman win. He hadn't seen the Greek one coming. He wasn't sure who the kid belonged to, but he had a suspicion it was one of the big three.
One of the refs signaled Jax that he was next and he moved to the approved weapons area, arming himself with the teeth. He was a son of Mars, a pencil wouldn't be safe in his hands and neither would his opponent. Jax heard his name and he took a pair of roman battle axes off the wall on a whim, turning and crossing the length of the space to the arena. As his eyes fell upon a very familiar dark-haired boy across from him, he grinned widely. "Were the Greeks too scared to fight me themselves? Is this battle by proxy?" He twirled the blades in his hand, wide grin on his face as he watched his cohort mate carefully.
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Camp Olympics. To be honest, when they were first told about this event to welcome the Greeks, Sam wasn't a fan, but he would never decline an invitation to compete. It was a nice way to relieve some of the stress that built up inside of him over the past few days, or week. All the chaos around camp had him completely out of his mind. He was glad he didn't mess up his training schedule yet but surely, after the appearance of a certain brunette, this would change too. Perhaps he should consider going hiking for real, just to get away.
But today wasn't the day for a break, even though he would consider it one. Sam had signed up for the combat part of the games. Hazel eyes scanned the arena as he tried to judge possible opponents. He couldn't really see much of a difference between the Greeks and the Romans, except their different colored t-shirts. That was the only thing that kept them apart. Everything else? Pretty much the same. Didn't mean he would willingly accept them as their own.
His observation was interrupted when he heard his name being called. With one swift movement, he turned and marched towards the battle area. He had watched Jax grab two battle axes as he followed behind him to get himself a pair of blades as well. He grabbed an ordinary spatha and a matching gladius, except that the blade was slightly shorter than the other. The brunet shook his head with a grin, walking towards his assigned starting point.
He snickered, seizing up the son of Mars. "What makes you think this is about you, Hollins? Maybe they are afraid of me." Adjusting his grip on both of his swords he nodded at the blond. "Ladies first."
Jax couldn't have wiped the smile off of his face if he had wanted to. Not only was he itching it fight someone, it had been entirely too long since he had fought his first cohort brother-in-arms. Sam was a son of Jupiter and had they been allowed to use their godly-gifted advantages properly, he would have wiped the floor with the blonde. Jax knew that.
He could scrap and fight along with the best of them, but he couldn't fight against hurricane winds or an accidental electrocution. That didn’t mean he never tried of course. He was gifted in his very own and unique ways. Unfortunately none those he could use to his advantage today. Today was all about him and Sam, demigod V demigod. No powers nor gifts. At least none that gave them a large leg up on one another.
Sam looked bored which ate at the blonde. He found himself wondering if the other had simply been walking by and had been tossed in the ring on a whim. Jax on the other hand was forcing himself not to bounce on his toes as his blood cried out for to jump into action. "It's always about me Darnay." The axes danced in his hands as he watched every step the other made. Jax had taunted him and Sam, in his damming calm manner replied ladies first, causing the blonde to reply shortly, "Nah. Never have been one for chivalry." Nor patience.
Jax lunged at Sam, his left arm raising the axe's blade to parry against the blow that Sam had raised towards him. The swords gave him a clear advantage, Jax knew that. He wouldn't have to get in as close as Jax would, but he also knew those swords were heavier. They would begin to weigh his arm down much more quicker than the short balanced double-blades he himself was wielding. Jax was light on his feet, moving back and to his right as he spun quickly, arcing the blade in his right hand towards Sam's side.
[attr="class","THREAD1CONTENT"] Sam playfully rolled his eyes at his friend. “You know I don’t like to brag about my status as son of Jupiter but,-” he began, shrugging, the corners of his lips turning up into a smug grin, “-I am a son of Jupiter. We don’t choose our parents, do we.” Giving the longer blade, the one he held in his right hand, a quick twirl he slid one foot back, the ground underneath his combat boots crunching. He adjusted his footing, making sure he could fend of a surprise attack if needed.
To be honest, he wasn’t expecting Jax to actually go for it first. He had expected him to give a retort instead and wait for Sam to make the first move. Surprised, Sam stepped forward instantly to greet the attack. With the short blade in his left hand, he went for one axe in an attempt to push it away, while the long blade was used to swipe at Jax. However, the blond deflected, the blade of the axe clashing against Sam’s sword.
Jax got a hold of the swords with the hook of his axe, and in one swift movement turned sideways, pushing Sam in the other direction while aiming for his side. The son of Jupiter wasn't stupid, and he was quick, although the distance between the axe's sharp edge and his waist being merely a hair's width.
A chuckle escaped his lips as he shook his head softly. "Nice try. Let me show you how it's done properly." Sam quickly adjusted his footing again, using the short blade to block any further attacks with at least one of the battle axes. He was trying to get into the hook of them, so he could wiggle them out of Jax’s grip. It was his goal, surely not an easy one to achieve though as he battled the son of Mars.
He raised his blade once again, jumping slightly as he aimed at the smack middle of Jax's face.
As if Jax needed to be reminded who the other demigod's parent was. He was well aware of his fellow legionnaire's lineage. That wouldn't matter though, not today. Without godly parent gifted abilities they were on equal footing. "Are you trying to reassure yourself or something? Need a few minutes to summon your courage?" He hadn't given the other anything but a predatory grin as he had lunged. Certainly no more time to collect his thoughts.
Metal met metal, reverberating through his arm. It was a good feeling, a reassuring sound. The alternative of course would be metal through skin which was much less appealing. Jax deflected the swipe. The sword coming within millimeters of nicking skin. Jax kept his footing balanced and light as the other demigod met him head on. Strength versus strength as the two clashed weapons, Jax spinning to get Sam's side. The other boy was fast and Jax found himself grinning again as his attack was out-maneuvered.
The attempt had made his own side exposed and the son of Mars reacted just in time to block the attempted strike from Sam's shorter blade. The longer one moved to hook one of his axes and Jax found himself grinning again, "One more time maybe, I guess I wasn't paying attention."
The brunette was blocking his blows too well. He realized quickly that he'd need a new plan. Sam lunged for Jax, aiming a blow to the face and Jax moved in closer to meet the blow full force. He angled one of his axe blades to catch the blow, right where it would indeed hook and pull the axe out of his hand. With the left still firmly blocking any attack from the shorter sword, Jax let the axe get pulled from his hand. The same hand making a fist and moving to strike the son of Jupiter in the face. He would be one weapon down, but if the attempt landed it might be enough to give him an edge.
