Love Across Lifetimes

Whoever had the notion that girls are weak and need saved by boys obviously never met Rose, daughter of Athena.

She has a ferocity that is matched by no one. Her eyes are a harsh gray color, like a storm coming in off the ocean. She likes to fight up close and personal with a small sword, no longer than her fore arm.

The first time Justin met her, she was saving his butt. He was at school when these big bullies came up to him, and said they were going to eat him. That was when it started to get weird, it got weirder when he looked at their faces and they only had one big eye in the center of their face. Then all of a sudden they burst into golden dust.

He fell to the ground and looked up at this blonde haired, gray eyed girl. Her hair was curly and bounced as she moved. Her skin was tanned like she worked outside a lot. She was very pretty.

“What’s your name kid?” she asked him.

“J-Justin Peterson.”

“I’m Rose Moore, daughter of Athena. Who is your parent?”

“What do you mean? My mom died after I was born and I never knew my dad. Did you say Athena? Like named after the God?”

“No, THE God. I’m a demigod, you are as well.”

“I’m a demi… what?”

“Demigod; Half mortal, half God. Come on, let’s get you to Camp Half Blood and everything will be explained.”

That was a little over three years ago. Since then, they had developed quite a friendship. They usually did activates together and they always wanted the other by their side in a fight.

People said they’d make a cute couple, but they weren’t THAT close. Justin wouldn’t deny that Rose was pretty, but he wouldn’t ever say anything.

They argue a lot. Of course, it’s expected given the fact that he is a son of Poseidon and she is a daughter of Athena. But that is why they are friends, they don’t sugar coat things.

Being a son of Poseidon, he has some pretty awesome powers. He can breathe under water and he won’t get wet unless he wants to. He can also control anything water based. If it’s salt water it works a lot better, but fresh water still works. The water also heals him, salt water is the best, but fresh water works in a pinch. He also can talk with horses and any marine animal.

Rose, being daughter of Athena was super smart. She is the smartest person that Justin knew. When it came to capture the flag, Justin always wanted her to plan the attack. She wants to be an architect someday, she likes to build almost as much as she likes to destroy.

The other friends in their group of friends are Alexandra, although to us, she is Ally. She is a daughter of Aphrodite who can charmspeak. She is so good that she once got Chiron, our centaur teacher, to give her a ride on his back. But that isn’t her only talent. She is one of the best campers with a sword, she can even duel wield a sword with a dagger if she needs to.

She is dating Charley. His dad is Jupiter, which most people would think means that Justin wouldn’t get along with him. It was the complete opposite though, Justin and Charley were best friends, almost like brothers. He has powers over the winds, he can control the air currents to make him fly. He also commands wind spirits to do his bidding. His other power is that he can channel electricity throughout his whole body.

Then there is Gabriel, we call him Gabe. He is the son of Mars. He is almost as good as Rose at tactics, but he isn’t quite to her level. He doesn’t have any special powers but he isn’t like most kids of the War God. He is pretty level headed and he is very kind. He doesn’t like fighting, he will avoid it if he can.

Last, but certainly not least is Grace, daughter of Pluto. She is super nice, and she can control precious metals and gems. She can also control the earth to do what she wants. It comes in handy during capture the flag to tunnel behind the enemy lines to their flag.

Gabe is the newest of the group. This is his first full summer at camp, but he quickly fit in. He also follows Grace around like a lost puppy. Usually that would annoy her, but Gabe is so nice that Justin is pretty sure she likes it.

Usually Roman demigods live in California at Camp Jupiter, but these three grew up on the East Coast and they didn’t want to leave their family that far away.

The six of them were pretty much inseparable. They were usually causing trouble of some sorts, usually pranks. Last year a prank war broke out so bad and so long that Chiron had to order everyone to stop.

But no one had any idea how much their world would change this year.
