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.

The lantern release had been difficult to start with, but the moment she had with Castor had changed that completely. They had shared a kiss that was beyond perfection and made her heart race. Something that she never expected to have again, and yet there it was. She had barely expected to make it to Camp Jupiter after what had happened at Camp Half Blood. Though she was so very happy to have made it here, otherwise she might never have met Castor. The fact that she was already feeling head over heels for him was scary, but in the best way possible. After he had dropped her at the Greek barracks, Scarlett had asked him if he would maybe like to meet her for a ride the next day, and though she had been a little surprised that he had agreed. He had not seemed to be the horseback riding type. Maybe she was just lucky and he was doing this for her.
It was silly to think that might be the case, maybe he actually enjoyed riding? She smirked a little at the mere idea of it and glanced in the mirror as she pulled a wide tooth comb through her long blonde waves. Her face was looking much better, the bruises all but gone at this point. She still was angry that Rhi had pulled the cheap shots, but what could she do? It was too late to do anything about it. Touching the cut on her cheek gently she winced. It was still pretty sore and angry looking, but she could only pray that it would heal with out scarring too badly. Putting on a little bit of mascara and her favorite cherry lip gloss she frowned at the cut again before grabbing her jacket so she could meet Castor.
She thought she was running a little behind but when she got to the stables he wasn't there yet either. Her pegasi whickered at her and she grinned at him, going over to stroke his face. She wasn't sure what he had wanted to ride today, if they were going unicorn, pegasus or regular horses. There were so many equines to choose from in the stables, but she was partial to her own. A lot of them were afraid of her because of her father, but there were a couple of the unicorns that didn't mind her, and of course her black pegasus. The unicorn stabled next to him stuck her head out of her stall and nibbled on Scar's sleeve making her giggle. She dug in her pocket and pulled out two peppermints, holding one out to each of them. " You guys are so spoiled you know." she grinned as they tickled her palms as they took the mints from her.
Hearing someone else enter the stables she turned to see Castor, the smile grew on her face as she turned away from the equines to walk towards him. "I was wondering if you were going to make it." she didn't think he would stand her up. They had just made things between them official after all, and that would not be the best start to a relationship. She moved in closer then placed a gentle kiss on his lips in greeting. " So what are we thinking, horses, unicorns, or pegasi?" she was open to any of them, just depended on what he felt most comfortable with. " Do you have one that is partial to you?" she took his hand and lead him over to Falcor, her pegasus. " This is Falcor, and yes, I named him from the Never Ending Story." the black pegasus eyed the boy before him before snuffling at his pockets, " And he is addicted to mints."
Castor's hands were sweaty. A nervous feeling had lodged itself in his chest and he hated all of it. He normally wasn't the nervous type. He wasn't exactly a playboy but he usually wasn't shy or unsure when it came to girls. That was all before Scarlett though. She had come into his world and shook up every part of it. He found himself head over heels following her around like a puppy, doing whatever it took to render a smile from her lips.
He had even agreed to go horseback riding. It wasn't that he didn't like horses. He had no issue with them. He was perfectly happy cleaning stalls and taking care of them. Horseback riding though? That was something else entirely. He didn't like not being in control. Though, when it came to her, he knew better than to think anything was in his control anymore.
He had gone riding before. It was a part of their training. A very small part, but a part nonetheless. He knew how it all worked and he could stay seated properly in the saddle, but a date on horseback was something he had never attempted in all of his life. He was used to situations that he could, again, control. Whether it was the movies or dinner or a thousand other activities. He was always in control. Seated on top of an animal was the direct opposite of that. He would be at the mercy of whatever equine she chose. There was nothing he could manipulate or work in his favor. It would be just him and her. It was a nervous thought that continued to nag him the whole way to the stables.
He had found himself wondering why he had ever agreed to this when he walked into the stable, finding her immediately. A smile was on her lips as she spoke to the animal before her and he had to pause. That was why. That smile. He'd do whatever she asked if it meant her keeping that smile on her face.
She seemed to notice him then, slighting him on being late and he grinned as he made his way to her. "I'm sorry. One of my legionnaires asked me a question before I made it out of the barrack." One of the new kids had delayed him and he knew she wasn't truly upset at him but he couldn't help the devilish grin that came to his lips as he replied, "Feel free to punish me how you see fit."
She turned to him then, pressing her lips to his and he returned the favor, kissing her back softly. He pulled away only enough to look her over, his thumb gently moving next to the healing cut on her face. "You look stunning, but how are you feeling?" She had fought half of the Roman army in the olympics and had came out with the scars and laurels as proof. She was deadly and brave and he was only thankful that he hadn't witnessed any of her bouts. He doubted he would have been able to keep in his seat.
She asked about what kind of equine he wanted to ride and he shrugged. "Ladies' choice." He had no care either way. Though his experience was with unicorns, he didn't mind trying out something new. He doubted it would help anyway. If whatever animal he was on top of decided to bolt or toss him off no experience in the world would be able to stop that. "Not really. I'm not exactly skilled in the art of horseback riding. You're going to have to lead this one."
He grinned as she slipped her hand in his, pulling him towards a pegasi. The animal was gorgeous and he laughed softly at the name. "Well, nice to meet you Falcor." The pegasi sniffed his pockets and Castor slowly put his hand on the horse, stroking his neck. "Your almost half as beautiful as your owner." He stroked the animal's soft neck once more before turning to her. "Are we staying on the ground today or heading to the skies?" He was more than a little nervous at the mere mention of flying, but he would do it if she asked. He wasn't sure there was much he wouldn't do for her. A thought that should probably scare him more than it actually did.
Castor always made her heart skip a beat when she was near him. How it was a Greek daughter of Hades would fall for a Roman son of Mercury, was beyond her. Though she had always been partial to the children of Hermes, falling for one of his Roman counterpart children was not that surprising after all. Though the whole Roman/Greek thing was seen as strange. She was happy though, truly happy, and that was all that mattered in the long run. At least in her eyes. " It's alright, I know that you are very busy, being all Centurion leader and all that." she teased him gently as she stopped in front of him, her blue eyes looking up into his handsome face, well aware of the nasty scar on her own cheek. " I will have to think of something good I suppose, may take me a bit, but I'm sure I can come up with something worthy of it." The smile wouldn't leave her face, and she knew there was no way she could actually find something to punish the man with. He didn't deserve it. He was merely doing his job, though coming up with something fun in the grand scheme of things was rather intriguing.
Their lips pressed against one another and she didn't want the moment to end, the best distraction was a kiss from her boyfriend. Boyfriend. That sounded strange, but also perfect. When the kiss ended she wanted to pout, but his thumb ran over her cheek and she winced slightly even thought he didn't actually touch the cut, it was still sore around it. " I don't know about all that. Rhiannon did a number on my face. I'm feeling ok. Sore, and that wound on my face is not exactly feeling too great, but I'll be fine in time. You didn't see any of my fights, did you?" she was certain she hadn't seen him there, though it was possible she had missed him. She couldn't imagine who he might have felt watching her in combat like that.
Scar thought it over as they walked over to the animals, " Would you feel better if we rode double?" she could do that if it would make him more comfortable. Riding together rather than on separate horses. She knew Falcor was strong enough to carry them both, if he wanted to. She wasn't so sure with the unicorns, she had not been around them enough yet to figure that out. " If it would make you more comfortable we can do that." she looked up at Castor, kind of excited at the idea of them riding together.
A blush spread across her cheeks as he mentioned her beauty and she dug in her pocket pulling out another mint and handing it over to Castor so that he could feed it to Falcor to appease the great beast. " Well, if we decide on going double then we can take out Falcor. He could use a good stretch for his wings." she ran her fingers over his forelock. " He can handle our weight. I am not so sure how your unicorns would do, so we could take them out single. It's up to you. Whatever you are comfortable with." she stood on tip toe to kiss his cheek, squeezing his hand gently in hers.
Scarlett's eyes met his as she playfully teased him about being a Centurion and he found himself utterly bewitched by her. He wasn't the kind of person who lived and died by Rome's sword. He loved his Camp and he loved his lineage, he was proud of who he was and what he had accomplished. He had never been the kind of guy whose whole persona was Camp though, and that had always made him feel like an outsider.
Romans were taught that the legion came first. There was a reason SPQR was tattooed on the skin, and that had always made him feel just a bit like an outsider. When Scarlett looked at him sometimes, when she held his gaze with her bewitching smile like she was currently doing, he wanted nothing more than to pledge himself to her instead. To walk hand in hand into an uncertain future that held more than what the legion asked of him. With her, he felt less and less of a Roman imposter and more like the person he had been before he had made it to camp.
She promised to think of something good for his punishment and he chuckled softly. "I don't doubt that one bit." Their lips met and his rambling thoughts were quieted. The kiss ended much too quickly for his liking, but as she spoke of Rhiannon, Castor internally winced. She wasn't exactly known for holding back and he was thankful that he hadn't had to ref the bout. There was a better chance of snow falling in her father's realm than him sitting back while Scarlett took a hit.
She asked him if he in fact did watch any of her fights and he shook his head, "No. They kept me busy refereeing. Two fights had to be stopped from cheating. Two more had to be ended due to refusing to tap out." He shook his head softly before continuing, "I'm honestly kind of relieved though if you want to know the truth." He glanced away a moment, his eyes grazing the ground before meeting hers again. "I know this is going to sound really sexist, but I don't think I could have watched silently while someone tried fighting you." Because it would have indeed been them attempting the action. He knew he couldn't have allowed it to actually happen.
The pair moved along towards the stables and his grin returned as he glanced over at her. "If I get the option of having you in my arms, I'm going to pick that one time and time again." He was grinning, the smirk clear on his face though every word was the truth. "If you're sure he won't object?" The last thing Castor wanted was to hurt her pegasus or worse, have him decide Castor wasn't worth the extra trouble and kick him off a few hundred feet off the ground.
They made their way to him and Castor hadn't much been an animal guy, but even he had to admit that the creature was stunning. Like something from an ancient fairy-tale or something. He looked like he didn't belong in the world, but he didn't care enough to leave it either. Castor took the mint and carefully fed it to the animal as he nodded to her suggestion, "Sounds good."
The horse took the mint, though he did pause for just a moment before accepting it and Castor found himself grinning all over again. "I think you two are a pretty perfect pairing. I can tell already." He gently scratched the animal behind the ear before turning his attention back to her. Scarlett leaned up, softly kissing his cheek and he slipped his arms around her waist, his lips meeting hers once more before putting his forehead to hers. "I told you, I'll choose you in my arms over any other choice any day of the week." Did it more than likely make him look like less of an intimidating Roman to ride behind her on an animal that he would never control? Probably. But there was no part of him that cared.
Her lips quirked up on one side in a teasing little smile. There was really no way she could think of some way to punish him, not really, though the idea of it might be a little on the appealing side for him. She had to tease either way, it was fun and he really seemed to respond well to it. It was nice being around someone like Castor, because he held his own against the normally angsty daughter of Hades. There were very few people that could stand to deal with her for too long, and yet the Roman man was very much so able to do so. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it. There was clearly something wrong with him if he was able to put up with her. Scar giggled a little, shaking her head, " So now I have to actually think of something." she grinned, unable to think of a single punishment, though she had time if he was going to do something to actually make her. Not that that was even remotely in her mind.
Their kisses they shared were always causing little sparks to fly for her, something she had never expected to have, but from the very first one, she was smitten by the dark haired boy, and she could not possibly think of that going away any time soon. As he spoke of the fights she frowned a little. Scar never would have wanted him to feel like she coulnd't hold her own, though clearly he knew she could. She did understand however that the idea of her fighting people would make him a little uncomfortable. They both cared for each other, more than ever expected, and she didn't get upset that he did not watch. " I suppose I can understand that. I don't think you are sexist, I think that you care about me and the idea of not being able to intervene would be difficult for you." she ran her hand over his cheek, thumb lovingly caressing his skin. " I think its sweet, and I'm glad that we are on the same page there. I probably would have had a difficult time keeping from wanting to stop it if it was you as well." she meant every word of it, the idea of seeing him fight for glory was one thing, for his life would have been something else. THe fact that she ended up with the laurels in the long run had been surprising to her, and probably others as well.
Her cheeks flushed, as scarlet as her name as he spoke of her in his arms. " Then I think thats what we are going for, because I'm rather partial to being in them myself." she kissed his cheek again. " He's tough, and I think he will be just fine with you. Especially now that you have made friends." she ran her fingers gently through the mane of her beautiful pegasus " Falcor is a good boy, aren't you?" he snuffled, making Scarlett burst out laughing and looked up at Castor. " Hope you are ok with heights." she closed her eyes as he leaned his forehead against hers after kissing her, her heart was always racing when he was near, and that was something she could definitely get used to. The fact that they were a greek and a roman were very much in her mind, supposed to be 'enemies' of sorts, but it didn't seem to matter to either of them.
The truth was, Scarlett was on her way out of camp anyway, even though it was supposed to be safer for her. Now, she didnt' know what she was going to do. Finding her way to a place like Camp Jupiter that had its whole little city just for their demigods that had grown up and gotten out of the legion? She had to wonder if she would ever be allowed to live within those borders when she could. Castor was a factor in her mind every day now that she thought of her future, even though things were new between them, she had a feeling that the fates had pushed them towards one another. That they were supposed to meet. " Then in your arms I will be." she sighed happily. " Lets get this boy outside shall we?" she grabbed the bridle she used for Falcor and slipped it over his head, grabbing the reins so she could lead him out of the stall after she opened the door for him. He kind of pranced on the spot for a moment and she grinned up at Castor before taking his hand in her free one and lead him out to the paddock with her and Falcor. " I'll hop up first, then you slide up behind me. Just keep your legs in front of the wing joint."
Using the fence she climbed up it and slid onto Falcor's back, then held her hand out to Castor to help him up. Falcor stood as still as a statue as he waited and once Castor was behind her Scar turned her head to look back at him. " Hold on tight.' she whispered and nudged Falcor forward and he took off at a run before flapping his huge wings and launching them all up into the air. The wind blew in her face and she could see the grounds disappearing below them, buildings looking much smaller as he flew around, his head tossing a few times as he really stretched out his wings. " What do you think?" she turned her eyes back to see Castor's face. Curious as to how he was feeling about the whole being that far up in the air thing.
