UwU. You thought I was going to forget the double chap?!
———————————————————————————
Camp Jupiter was like Camp Half-blood designated to protect and train the children of the gods, in this case, the children of the Roman gods, or rather the aspects, anyway, the difference between both camps was the Camp Jupiter was more like a military camp, I suppose thanks to the more militaristic way of thinking the roman aspects had in contrast to their normally easily offended greek side.
Magically speaking, the camp was weaker or easier to break their magical defences were weak compared to camp half-blood, well… I suppose it was relative, for me breaking into both camps was now a breeze, but for monsters… well, they would have an easier way to break into camp Jupiter.
Taking a deep breath, I focused some mana on the area to get more information about the camp, mostly trying to find all the ins and outs of the camp, information I did not need, but I wanted to have to fill my curiosity, I had after all teleported to the camp, and had no idea where the entrance was located, with a chuckle I felt as the mana pulse I had sent around the camp came back with the information I was looking for, showing me the camp only had one formal entrance, which was located in a service tunnel near the main Caldecott tunnel, in San Francisco.
"Young God," Someone whispered too close to my liking.
"In the name of… me? Fuck don't do that," I jumped back startled, seeing an old lady standing behind me, "Who are you?" I inquired, taking a deep breath.
"We are the Parcae," The old lady replied.
"We?" Was this powerful old lady senile? Can gods go senile?
"Yes, we," Two more old ladies whispered in one voice behind me, needless to say, I acted like a man, jumping once again… I had no idea why but these soon to be oil… grandmas felt like something I should not take lightly.
"We are known to you as the Fates," Oh… I really should've read a book of Roman mythology, oh well, "We have been expecting you, for decades,"
"Is… is that a good thing?" I asked, the more I talked with them, the more pressure I felt in the air, no wonder Zeus feared them, they are leagues above Zeus, I can feel it… the power to control destiny itself, it's quite overwhelming.
"It is," One of the terrifyingly powerful grandmas nodded.
"Until it's not," Grandma B said… I… I will call them the ABC Grandmas.
"I.. so yes but no?" I asked once again.
"Are you aware, the Roman pantheon has no real God of Magic," Powerful over nine thousand grandma A said, "Not really, Trivia fills the role, quite poorly, her main realm is crossroads,"
"And?" I asked, not sure where this was going.
"You want power, and we are willing to help you," Grandma C answered.
"Why?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at them in suspicion, why would the fates want to intervene in my favour, there had to be a catch.
"No reason," Grandma A answered, "We simply decided on a whim to help you a bit, by guiding you into the right path… you see, you are a god, but your power is currently heavily limited,"
"A god without a realm is no real god," Grandma C agreed.
"So… you are just…. giving me the realm of magic?" Yeah, there had to be a catch somewhere.
"No, we are simply informing you… that as a god, you have the right to challenge others for their realms, as long as you have a claim for said realm," Grandma C smiled, "As Greek new god, you have the right to challenge Romans and Greeks alike for their realms, and we thought it was best to inform you… about Trivia and her situation,"
"So… claiming it... Huh," The possibilities to that implication were endless.
"Have in mind, the God would have to accept the challenge," Grandma B stated.
"I see… thanks," I was still trying to figure out their angle, why were they sharing information with me, nothing in this world came free.
"You are a mystery young god, we know your future… yet because of your father and his, we can't alter it… we can only see it unfold, it's…..vexing" Grandma A added.
There it was again, just who the fuck was my father, "Can you tell me who my father is?" I had a feeling they were not going to give me an answer, but it was worth a shot.
"No, we can't," And with that, they disappeared as the came, without making a sound.
"I swear it just feels my dad will end being a nobody compared to the hype these gods are building up," I sighed, "So challenging a god…. Well, I suppose that is a way to obtain power,"

[Hades POV]
"YOU SENT ARTEMIS TO HUNT HER!!!" I bellowed in anger, as Zeus simply raised one eyebrow in mild amusement, his lip curling into a smug smile.
"I am her King, and I am your King," Zeus stated, slamming his fist on his throne, "If she can't obey a simple command, then she will learn discipline,"
"You are no King," I spat, "You will regret this Zeus, you will regret it…. Hestia was always off-limits, she was the hearth of Olympus, our FUCKING SAFE HAVEN!!"
"Will I?" Zeus scoffed, "I do what I DO for the good of Olympus!"
"Don't lie to me, you arrogant brat," I snarled, "You know better than anyone, you only think of yourself,"
"Do I?" Zeus barked in anger, "When our father ate every single one of you, it was me who rescue all of you when the walking calamity of Typhon attacked, and all of you hid in fear, it was ME who fought the storm giant for years, it has always been MY power the very thing that has kept OLYMPUS in one piece!"
"You are never going to get it, are you?…." I chuckled humorlessly, as more Gods entered the throne room, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, to count a few, "You think you're entitled to everything just because you are the strongest, just because you defeated our father, but being the strongest is not enough! You can't just be strong, you have to be smart! You can't just be deserving you have to be worthy, but all you have ever been is a bloody brat, you have to grow up!"
"Leave…" Zeus growled.
"With pleasure,"
