(Olympus Avona POV).
As I stood in the middle of the throne room with Percy, Bianca, Thalia and Annabeth. standing side by side we watch as The 12 Olympians all teleport to their thrones following Artemis's summon.
"Demigods and Demi Primordial you have done us a great service but as fate would have it our sworn enemies the titans have returned." Zeus says addressing what had happened.
"What sort of counter measures are being taken." Annabeth questions hopeful for good news most likely.
"Poseidon will unleash his full power on the princess andromeda and attempt to destroy the traitor's army." Athena says. "We also will increase camp Half bloods security measures."
despite her confidence I knew it wouldn't be enough But before i could even speak Percy did.
"That's it we just fought the titan General Himself and Kronos is getting new demigods by the day meanwhile our comrades die on quests that don't even scratch the enemy's war effort." He says angrily likely still distraught over the loss of Zoe on the last quest.
Zeus's face turned bright red but before he could retort Thalia spoke up. "Percy is right father we need to re evaluate our current strategies because our quests are merely reacting to what Kronos is doing."
Zeus was even more livid now if such a thing was Possible but Artemis then stood up. "I agree with the boy and Ms. Grace we need a better plan."
"I have a suggestion." I spoke up causing all eyes to turn to me. "If Hades began to target enemy camps I am certain working with the hunters we could really put the hurt on Kronos's Army.
And if camp began to apply similar pressure to camps near new York and once Poseidon destroys the princess andromeda Kronos main force would be crippled and his reserves would stand no chance against the camps demigods."
The gods all nod with Athena even backing my plan saying it would likely work because even if Kronos could summon a large number of monsters it would be draining for him to rebuild his army.
However as we were about to teleport back to camp I noticed a familiar necklace on Athena's neck.
'The stone of knowledge.' I realize as we are teleported out.
(Camp Half blood).
Once we arrived I Excused myself to my cabin and told Chiron I wanted a couple of days of Privacy something he agreed to immediately.
Once in my cabin I change to my Europan Uniform and teleport back to Camp Europa.
Crossing the border I am Immediately Greeted BY piper and Her stuck up cousin Austin.
"Mam welcome back." Piper says smiling.
"IT's a pleasure to be back Colonel Piper now I need to know something. Have we lost contact with our garrison guarding the stone of knowledge." I question worriedly.
Piper just nods her joy replaced with a look of fear.
"All we got from them was this Transmission." She says as she pulls up her phone and plays a recording.
"There's too many... Need... We have... 2 left warn. .... large be." The recording then ends resulting in all of us looking fearfully at each other.
"We didn't want to do anything unless you came back." Piper says shakily probably worried I was going to be angry.
"Ok Piper Gather 20 Demigods and 100 infantry and we will look into this personally Colonel Veronica can take over." I order.
Nodding she runs off and gathers the men and we then go through my portal and Teleport to the Austrian Alpes.
(Austria).
Exiting the portal we walk into what I could only describe as a nightmare.
Broken machine guns several soldiers laying on the ground dead and the buildings destroyed and the chamber entrance was destroyed.
"Spread out Lieutenants take your platoons and flank the perimeter. Piper you and your company with me now." I order as the group separates.
Entering the chamber Piper walks over to another dead soldier.
"There was a struggle here. We had 100 men here to guard the stone of Knowledge and Hestia and hades had their own agents here to assist in its protection so the fact that we were informed by the inspection teams that this place had been attacked tells me it was likely a surprise attack." Piper says while examining the destroyed barricades and scratched up walls.
As we continue our investigation deeper into the cavern a soldier suddenly speaks up.
"General, Colonel come here quickly." He says as we rush over and are stunned.
Laying on the ground is a mess of our men and demigods.
"Anyone you recognize mam." Piper asks gesturing to the demigods.
I shake my head in reply. "No I don't they may be with Kronos though." I point out only for another soldier to speak up.
"Not likely mam look." He says holding up the arm of one of the demigods.
Emblazoned on the arm was a Tattoo that read SPQR.
"Romans." One of my men growl.
As I was about to speak Piper called to me.
"Mam look at this." She says as I run over and spot her kneeling over some animal prints.
"Griffins, Wolves and boars crap no wonder our men were overwhelmed.
Griffins are second to impossible to take out without explosives and wolves are perfect ambush predators and Boars are very aggressive and fierce animals." I say as we journey further only to find the chamber that was supposed to hold the stone empty.
As Piper and two of my men and myself look around Piper holds something up.
"Look owl feathers." She says and my eyes widen as I realize who was behind this.
"Those scum bag Olympians." I growl. "This raid was done by Athena and Ares the boars and Romans are proof of that and the Griffins and wolves were likely Athena using their unique skill sets as a way to overpower our guards."
As I said this Piper and my men were furious.
"I say let the titans kill them."
"No better yet we go and burn Olympus ourselves." The guards propose as I glare at them.
"No I cannot condone the deaths of innocents and it's likely not all Olympians knew about this and the Greeks had no idea.
Therefore our actions will be taken as I see fit and as far as I'm concerned Kronos will kill more innocent people than not so we must stop him then the Olympian will be dealt with." I say firmly ending the discussion as my men salute and Piper nods her head as we exit.
However while I appeared calm I did want nothing more than to wipe out those arrogant self proclaimed leaders of the universe but I knew it was wiser to bud my time.
But mark my words they will taste my blade when this titan crisis is dealt with.
An: hope you enjoyed and I hope you all have a great day today.
