"Perseus Jackson, are you ready for your test? And you'd do remember the rule of no powers correct?" The Roman wolf goddess asked. Percy uncapped Anaklumos and gave Lupa a firm nod, the large she wolf and her pack were evaluating the demigod to see if he was worthy enough to enter camp Jupiter. Percy had been teleported here by Artemis and was here for one soul purpose, to gain respect of the romans. The first thing he had to do was to get into the camp, to do so he would have to pass the test, the initiation. He bravely stepped forward and entered the cave, he was suddenly cocooned with silver armor and thrust into a bloody war. A man looked at him with a scrutinizing gave, he wore armor and a purple cloak. Purple, the color of kings, this man is a king. Percy realized and bowed to the man, the king looked at him in surprise before waving his hand,
"Rise, soldier you are here to bring the Greek king Perseus of Macedonia to me. He has to be captured and nothing else. Take a legion with you and don't get distracted!" Percy stood straight and tall,
"Yes King Eumenes!" He bellowed loudly and realized he was in the Battle of Pydna and was with the legendary Eumenes ll who had taken over this part of Greece. Artemis had taught him all of the Roman and Greek wars, his favorite part was learning of the kings who ruled Rome. He quickly gathered a legion and recognized one of them to be Lucious Aemilius Paullus, he was the capturer of Perseus in the original war. He felt nervous for he had never led part of an army in battle before. Lucious gave Percy a smile and put a hand on his shoulder,
"I know your worried but calm yourself. We shall destroy those wretched Greeks, you will lead us, just follow your instincts." Percy smiled at Lucious and let out a sigh before standing up even taller,
"Let's move!" He yelled. He felt better as he and Lucious walked side by side. Percy was glad the consul was so understanding about the situation. He felt as though this was a simulation and it probably was, they marched to Perseus's palace and were quickly assaulted by guards. Percy and his men easily defeated the Greeks because they lacked battle strategy and team work, they had helped cause their own downfall as they began to fight amongst themselves rather then with the enemy. They broke down the heavy wooden doors and were bombarded with more warriors.
Percy ducked as a blade was aimed for his head and stabbed the Greek in the chest making him fall. Lucious defended Percy and Percy defended him as well, together they were back to back slicing through Greeks.
"Circular formation! Do not let them get through!" He ordered and the soldiers got into a circle and shielded each other from the Greeks, they stayed on defense while the Greeks fought to defeat them all. Percy sliced through a mans chest plate and ran his blade through his stomach. The Greeks were no match for the Romans who were far superior and under a better leader. A few of the Roman soldiers fell in battle but Percy focused on the main task at hand, it was easier to fight in a war when he was not attached to anyone. Greeks fled the scene and Percy looked at a small group of Romans who were hardly touched by a weapon,
"After them, we must make sure they do not run and get help." The Romans nodded and chased after the Greeks. Percy turned to Lucious and five other warriors,
"Come with me, we must capture Perseus. The rest of you, secure the castle. Make sure it is empty and then burn it, this place is for Rome now. If anyone is alive that isn't a Greek warrior then get them out of here, any warriors then you know what to do." The Romans smirked and began. To run around the castle,
"For Rome!" They bellowed. Percy gestured for his troops to follow him and they entered the kings chambers. He was sitting on his bed while grasping a sword tightly, five guards stood there and Percy grinned at the king wickedly,
"Your Highness! Sorry to intrude but our king would like a couple of words with you." Lucious laughed and charged at one of the guards, he began to battle him while the rest of Percy's soldiers attacked the remaining Greek defenders. Percy slowly walked towards the king while he idly twirled his sword around,
