The Fall of the Emperor Epilogue

Chapter 14

Mark

It’s been about a week since Jupiter saved the day and turned Caligula into a pile of dust on the floor. After our conference with Chiron Nico pulled me aside and told me that his father had a special torture in mind for Caligula, and that every day until the end of existence he would be reminded that he was not a God. Sounds fitting.

Alex and I started going out, but because of Camp rules we had to take trips out of camp a lot to do anything. We ended up becoming the go-to campers for Demigod recoveries. We got to spend a lot of time out of the camp because of this.

Jackie and Steve also started going out, but because they weren’t afraid of heights like me, they got to take Pegasus rides across the seas to pick up kids who weren’t in North America.

For a couple of days I worried about what happened to Sean and Anna, they didn’t show up to the camp with us, but went away once I got to back to my bunk at the end of the week. On my bed were two letters addressed to me. The first was from Mercury, the second Sean and Anna. I opened Mercuries first.

“Yo, Mark.

You did good kid, stopping Caligula before, and getting him to spill the news about what he did in the underworld so that we could step in. He had absorbed too much power for a Demigod to deal with. As for Sean and his friend, they don’t remember anything about the City of Gold. Nobody is supposed to, Steve, Jackie and Alex don’t. That was Jupiters gift to you. As far as they know, you are on a long term assignment, how that assignment ends depends on the success of Juno’s plans. Currently the Mist is keeping you from any Roman’s sight, like it would any Greek camper. I did let them know that you are alright though, and this is the last communication that you will receive from them until this whole thing is finished.

Good luck”

I opened the second.

“Hey Mark!

I should have known your disappearance had to do with a deep cover assignment hunting down that fellow who was with Hyas. Anna and I will stay at the camp here waiting for your return. By the way, turns out Brian DeFaux is a traitor. If you run into him watch out.

Hope to see you soon.

Sean and Anna.”

They were healthy. They were safe. We were all happy. All that was left was the next adventure.
