Camp Half Blood
Sadie and Bruce had settled into their old cabins. They were surprised at how the camp was. After the dead had had their rights the two camps, that had been enemies decided to have a meeting together, a secret meeting for just the demigods and not Chiron or Lupa. It was held in bunker nine, a place that even the gods had no idea all the areas so they couldn't watch. Sadie was surprised that they found a big enough room to fit everyone, even with the lower numbers.
"Shut up," Kyle said as the meeting was supposed to start ten minutes ago, but everyone wouldn't keep quiet. Since he was a child of Aphrodite, his voice made everyone shut up.
"Thank you Kyle," Jace said as the four leaders stood on a platform. "We have come here today to talk about the gods and this war. It is a war that we cannot win, a war against Chaos."
"What about the being that made the army back off," someone shouted.
"All of you felt the aura that surrounded the being," Oliver said. "It was unnatural and dangerous. Plus, it is being controlled by the gods who clearly have no interest in keeping us alive."
"What is that supposed to mean," a female shouted and others mumbled in agreement to her question.
"If you didn't notice," Rose stated "they did not tell us that it was Chaos's army that we faced. They are using us as tools to fight for them. They left as soon as the fight was over and they did not even come back to their children's burning of shrouds. It is clear to us that they do not care for us. This is not like the wars we grew up hearing stories about. The gods actually cared then and cared about our ancestors. This war we are merely tools, not children." Shouts of agreement were heard. Sadie and Bruce were shocked at the new they were hearing. The gods had been so selfish that they had not even told their children who they were fighting and gave them no choice but to fight.
"That is why we are going to put this to a vote on for both camps, all four of us have agreed on this. Should we surrender to the Chaos troops next tie they come or will we still fight for the gods?" Quiet murmurs settled through the crowd until Jace spoke.
"I know that it is our nature to fight for the gods, but why fight to the death for beings that do not care for us? Why die for their cause?"
"I agree," a boy from the crowd said. "The gods no longer care for us and let us die. I vote that when the Chaos soldiers come back that we surrender to them." Agreements started to be shouted across the room until the whole room was in agreement. It looked like Sadie and Bruce would no longer have to worry about killing more demigods.
With The Amazons
A week had passed that Lightning and Quynn had been with the Amazon's. They had been bunked together at first, to Quynn's horror. Lightning was not the best bunk mate since she snored loudly and Quynn was a light sleeper to begin with. Quynn was thankful when the fight for ranking came the next day. Both girls had swept the floors with their opponents and only stopped when they came to Chloe. All the Amazons had been impressed and because they ranked so high Chloe asked them to be here personal guards. Quynn had accepted as long as she could have a room to herself. Chloe had no problem with it and let her. Lightning didn't are either way so had agreed. After that it was like a cake walk. The biggest things that happened every once and a while was when Phobos IM Chloe. It was a constant fight between the two which often led to Chloe cutting of the message. It was the same thing over and over again, which drove Quynn nuts. Phobos commanding that the Amazons come fight and Chloe telling him no, well not in the polite sense, ore like told him to screw off. Two more days passed with nothing when instead of messaging Chloe Phobos appeared in the throne room himself. Quynn and Lightning pulled out their spears.
"You dare point a weapon at a god," he growled.
"I think our Queen has told you to leave her alone," Quynn told him. Phobos sneered and turned to Chloe who had stood up with Argentum and Aurum at her side.
"Your chance to come willingly is over child. Zeus has commanded that you join the other demigods at their camp."
"I don't care if you are my father, how dare you come here and try and demand from me! I also do not care what Zeus has to say he is not our patron, Hera is."
"Zeus is the King so he overrides Hera," Phobos growled. "He has ordered it and there is nothing you can say against it." With that he snapped his fingers and all the Amazons were surprised to find themselves in the middle of the eating pavilion with other demigods eating. Everything paused for a split moment, until it went into a frenzy of yelling. Many of the campers yelling asking who the Amazons were, after all not many knew about them.
"Shut up." Ares appeared. Everyone quieted.
"These are the Amazons and they have come here to help with the fight."
"I said we would not be in this suicidal mission of yours," Chloe yelled stepping up to him. "We refuse to fight for you!" The god of War went purple with fury and raised his hand to smack Chloe for being so rude to him. Quynn was there immediately to block his strike with her spear. Everyone was surprised that she got there so quickly, after all she had been several feet back.
"You do no treat the Queen of the Amazons that way even if you are a god."
"That's right I am a god and you are all demigods you do not deserve to disagree with me!" During this fight Bruce and Sadie had moved over to Lightning.
"We need to talk when you two are free." Lightning nodded, but was keeping an eye on Ares and Quynn. She wouldn't hesitate to help as the two bickered back and forth. Ares seemed to get angry and angry by the second. It wouldn't take him much more to make him erupt.
"Enough!" A woman's voice yelled. Everyone turned to see the Queen of the gods. All of the Amazons knelt to one knee.
"Parton," Chloe said respectfully. Hera put her hand on Chloe's shoulder.
"Stand Amazons." All did. "Thank you for following me." Her voice was gentle.
"Of course my lady." Hera turned to Ares and her demeanor changed.
"How dare you and your son try and rule over my girls!" Ares sputtered as his mother stalked up to him.
"But Father."
"I don't care what Zeus has to say, they are my girls! Not only that but you tried to strike the Queen of the Amazons. I will make sure that you are punished. Now get back to Olympus!" Ares fled. Hera sighed and turned to Quynn.
"Thank you for protecting your Queen."
"It was not a problem Lady." Hera nodded and turned to Chloe.
"You must remain here. Though I have sent Ares and thus also Phobos, my husband did demand you here. I have no power to stop him at the moment. This does not mean that I will not try and demand that you be allowed to do what you want. For now, please bear with it and stay in my cabin. I have made it as close as I could to your home on the inside."
"Thank you Lady Hera." Hera smiled and then turned towards the campers.
"These girls will have respect like Artemis's Hunters. They are not to be taken lightly and are to be respected. To mess with them is like to mess with me!" With that the Queen of the gods disappeared. Rose came over to Chloe and bowed.
"Welcome to Camp Queen and the Amazons. My name is Rose I am one of the leaders of Camp Half Blood. The other three leaders came up. "This is my other leader Kyle and then the two leaders of Camp Jupiter, Oliver and Jace.
"My name is Chloe and thank you for your welcome. My girls and I will be in our cabin."
"May we come and talk to you," Kyle asked. Chloe narrowed her eyes at him.
"Rose may boy, but none of you males may."
"Thank you," Rose said.
"Girls," Chloe motioned for them to follow.
"I'll be right there," Lightning said. "I need to catch up with a friend if you do not mind." Chloe nodded to her. After all, Quynn was capable of taking care of anything herself. The rest of the Amazons and Rose went to Hera's cabin. Lightning followed Sadie and Bruce out to the woods
"So what is going on," Lightning asked. "You just pretty much heard what happened to us."
"The demigods are going to perform mutiny. That is what I think that Rose is telling Chloe." Lightning whistled.
"Really?" Bruce nodded.
"Yeah, it was decided the day after we got here. When the 'Chaos Army' comes back they are going to surrender to them."
"Wow."
"Not only that," Sadie said. "The gods never told the demigods who they would face. They never gave them a choice."
"Those pieces of shit." Lighting said disgustedly.
"Yeah, once I heard that I felt bad for killing them." Lightning nodded.
"Yeah, I mean that they had no idea and then it wasn't up to them to fight."
"That is wrong and the gods need to learn their place."
