    Summary

    After some thought, Alger turns to the head chair and asks, "Mr. Fool, can I get your adorer to assist me at the critical moment? I would pay a price that interests you."

    Rapping a finger on the desk, Mr. Fool hums briefly. "Mr. Death," he begins. "Employ a Blessed to handle it.”

    The feathered serpent coiled around Mr. Fool's neck raises 'His' head. 'He' nods reverently. "Of course."

    Or: Death follows a certain Fool through time.

    Summary

    With a helpless laugh, Anderson suggests, “Maybe, they see him as one of their own.”

    Shutting his open jaw, one that was wide enough to catch flies, Danitz considers the observation before throwing Anderson an odd look. “Really? Gehrman strikes me more like a lone wolf.”

    Turning back just in time to see a third cat jump onto some unoccupied part of Gehrman, they exchange a tacit look of understanding.

    “Tiger,” they say in unison. 

    Or: The Golden Dream drops its anchor at an island with far too many cats.

    Summary

    Jason decides to take his chance. “So what’s the deal with him, anyway? People here talk about him like he’s a god.”

    To his surprise, Clarisse snorts. “Something like that. Prissy’s an annoying one, that’s for sure. But I can’t deny that he’s powerful.”

    “Powerful how?” He finds himself asking, curious. Everyone keeps talking about Percy Jackson, but people have yet to tell him more than that he’s Annabeth’s boyfriend, missing, and a son of Neptune. No, Poseidon. For some reason, the names swirl in his head, jumbled. He jolts out of his thoughts to Clarisse’s sigh of annoyance.

    “What is it with all the hero-worship around here?” She mutters under her breath, and then huffs. “At least it wouldn’t go to his head.” She clears her throat, voice finally rising above a whisper. “Control-the-sea powerful. Create-a-storm powerful. Blow-up-a-toilet powerful. Blow-up-a-volcano powerful. That sort of thing.” She shrugs like she hasn’t dropped bombshell after bombshell, and Jason barely has enough presence of mind left to register that his jaw is hanging open. “Right–”

    Or, 10 times someone thought Percy was a god, and the one time someone knew he was (or at least something like one).

    Summary

    “I just don’t understand why the Greeks treat him as such a big deal,” Marcel said “Or even the gods. Lady Juno and Lord Mars clearly backed him, and I don’t understand why. He certainly doesn’t look like much.”

    “Why don’t you just ask around?” she asked him. “Heroes have stories and people are always eager to tell them. I’m sure any of the Greeks could tell you more about him.”

    “It’s not a bad idea,” Jordan added. “It would be nice knowing exactly why he was part of the prophesied Seven. I know the Venus girl had sorcery and the Vulcan boy obviously had power over fire. But why Jackson? Just because they took a boat?”

     

    Despite raising him on a shield, Romans don't know much about Percy Jackson, or even the Greeks in general. As the Legion attempts to recover from the wars, they find out there is far more to the Son of Neptune then they originally thought, and learn quite a few things about themselves along the way.
