"So how are we to trust someone just because he comes here abruptly. Even without any sort of recommendation" Octavian declared to all the Romans while pointing towards Silva who was regretting the act of following his Roman uncle.
After Apollo appeared, the roman demigods stood in attention while he barked at them for being weak and looking like idiots after the fight. After that Apollo turned to Silva and teleported both Silva and the roman demigods to the border of camp Jupiter.
"I have brought you here for the day so that you can meet the roots of your mother. From now on, these demigods will guide you to the camp. Their leaders will then handle the rest. You shall see the might and order of the romans and then see why its better than your current home my boy" Apollo bellowed and then put a hand on his shoulder.
"Your strength is something you should be proud of. It is made of discipline and determination. A gift that was forged through hard work. Do not fret and do not doubt the path you will choose. I will be proud of whatever you choose" Apollo said before vanishing.
"Are you claimed by Apollo" One of the demigods who also got teleported asked.
"Nah, we just know each other. Plus there was a mistake and he wants to make it up with me" Silva replied as he felt it was safer to hide his origin.
But that answer was not what the demigods expected as they stared at him in horror. Their imagination were running wild thinking about what kind of monster this demigod was because normally gods don't do anything when they do any mistake.
They most likely kill you to destroy any evidence of their mishap.
So instead of coming across as a normal demigod, Silva is currently looked at like he was an anomaly the gods are treating as an equal.
Plus the next thing that happened was him being arrested and being brought into the senate with his hands being tied up by ropes.
He remembered Reyna being one of the Praetors of the camp and maybe Jason was one too. He did not remember much of the timeline. But he did remember one of the most hated character of the series.
Octavius, not the real one. The real one is right now scheming behind the scenes while supplying Luke with ammunition, budget and yachts to create chaos using the titans. But this one in front of him might be even more annoying than the real one.
Octavious is giving a large speech about how Silva is dangerous and is unknown. Clearly forgetting the fact that Apollo himself had made sure that Silva had reached the camp properly.
When he looked to the side, Silva saw the demigods whom he saved were looking away. Silva scoffed slightly in his mind. Even though Apollo told him that he will learn a lot in camp Jupiter, he is only being met with disappointments. He was actually feeling good about his decision about moving to camp half-blood more than ever.
Plus he knew the demigods were looking away because they did not want to cross their superior who in this case was Octavian. If it was camp half-blood, the demigods he saved would not even hesitate to shout at their camp counsellors to make sure Silva was not attacked like this.
But while listening to Octavious trying to convey that Silva was a threat, Silva realised that Octavious was in a hurry. Silva knew Octavious was a senator eyeing the Praetor position.
'Oh' Silva realised. Octavious was trying to undermine him before the Praetors arrive here. Seeing how confident Apollo was that Silva will like being in camp Jupiter, chances are he might have given out some order or prophecy and Octavious might not have liked what was written in it.
'Is he thinking that I will take a Praetor place or something' Silva thought as he was finally questioned by Octavious who was swaying the Romans.
"And what could we trust from an unknown without any recommendation letter" Octavious scoffed "How can we even know that your aim isn't to harm camp Jupiter?"
He only asked that question to continue his monologue. But never expected that Silva will reply to that question.
Suddenly the entire audience in the avenue froze. Just moments ago, they were shouting with Octavian to deal with the new demigod and right now, they realised that they were not dealing with a prey that they were debating to put into a chopping board.
Octavian was trembling as he turned to look at Silva who was radiating pure killing intent. He saw as Silva easily broke off the ropes that tied him up. And took a few steps forward while a silver bow materialised in his hand.
Silva was not just a demigod of camp half-blood. He was a demigod that survived the camp at a young age when the barrier was not there to protect the demigods from danger. Plus, from a young age Silva had made sure to gain experience by killing as many monsters as he can every single day.
Most demigods has a record of killing hundreds of monsters in their lifetime with a few ever reaching a thousand. But Karna had already reached thousands in the number of monsters he had killed over the years.
The only reason he was not famous was because the monsters themselves did not stay alive long enough to see who attacked them.
The killing intent he had developed by killing those thousands of monsters was something the campers of Jupiter were unable to even fight against.
The children of Mars who were gifted by the powers of war was able to realise that the man they were holding till now was a monster that has killed more than they can imagine.
"You want to know how I am not a threat, that's simple to prove" Silva said as he reeled in his killing intent.
"Try your best to stop me" he declared.
Octavian who managed to stand up was shaken with terrifying fear at what he had felt moments ago. But instead of thinking, he decided to use this chance to kill the person that was making him feel the threat of death.
"COHORTS, ATTACK AND DO NOT STOP TILL HE IS DEAD!!!" Octavious screamed and because of the discipline drilled into the romans, they didn't hesitate to attack even though they were afraid to even move an inch before.
Seeing the arrows and spears being shot towards him along with the warriors who were running towards him with swords. Silva did not show any displeasure. He just smiled slightly.
'Just as I expected' He thought as he finally decided to see the depth of his own growth.
