The Avengers of the Earth Book 1: Chapter 16

Adam's P.O.V

I watched patiently as Percy Jackson addressed the senate and the legion of the Camp Jupiter.

We walked towards the border of Terminus, and it is said that beyond that border, no weapons allowed, or else Terminus will get angry.

We safely put our weapons into the tray it is provided, so it wouldn't get lost or mixed up with other people's weapons.

I decided to just wait here and hear out the speech.

"Greetings, all the roman senate and the legions." Percy addressed. "Today, I have come from the former praetor of the 12th legion to warn you about the dangers that we were about to face."

Murmurs can be heard from the crowd. I can tell that they don't like this at all, especially after they had dealt two consecutive wars.

"The demons are rising, and I am here to tell you guys that imminent danger is coming." Percy addressed. "We are well informed that the demons have a knack to appear when you least expected it."

"So what do you suggest we do?" Octavian asked. "Just stay around here and have fun?"

"No." Percy stepped back a bit, and regained his confidence. "What I suggest we do, is to watch you back, and go to the underworld to stop the pit from making more demons. I've heard that they were destined to fade when all of the demons have been killed."

"But they can reform, correct?" Reyna asked.

"Yes." Percy told her. "They can reform, but only..."

"But only if a child of the light is holding the sky, then it will stay disintegrated, which he isn't holding right now." Jason added.

"Well, we have another news." Percy said. "One of our friends, Josh McLean, he is assigned to hold the sky."

One of the campers murmured the name Josh McLean, like he was her brother or something.

"Anyways, our concern is to make sure we shut the pit close and kill all of the demons."

I leaned close to him. "But we still need to free Josh."

"Oh right." Then Percy stood to address the audience again. "After the war.... well, we need to free Josh."

"Now, that the meeting is adjourned, and....."

Just then, I saw something materializing in Mount Othyrs. Not again! Why do the demons liked to materialize in Mount Othyrs? Couldn't they materialize somewhere else?

Percy looked at my direction and paled. "I feared this. The..."

"The senate is adjourned." Jason said. "For now, let's go bust some demons in Mount Othyrs."

All the campers cheered in happiness, as they ran out of the border line and started grabbing the weapons in disorderly manner. Terminus is quite shocked about what had happened.
