ANNOUNCEMENT & IM

[ You'll find yourself looking at a grave centaur first thing this morning, just before the Romans start their training. ] Campers, I've an important announcement to make. Now, you know very well that we have protective borders around Camp Half-Blood. After last summer's incident, we've taken great care to ensure that we have several lines of defense with both force and Mist.

Followers of Lycaon - wolves - have been spotted just outside of camp. It is believed that they continue to align themselves with Gaea.

There have been no attacks, but I trust that all of you will keep your eyes and ears open for any signs of trouble. No campers will be leaving. [ Have a pointed look for some of you. ] However, we must keep our wits about us. Prepare accordingly. The Athena cabin has necessary information on the followers should you choose to educate yourselves on the matter. I hope you will.

[ The feed ends. ]





( mod note | Open to discussion. Plan your patrol groups, change up your training tactics. Welcome to the first plot of 2014! )

Just like Romulus and Remus did, but it also weeds out those who...likely wouldn't survive being in the Legion if they couldn't make it. As far as Lupa is concerned, Rome needs to have strong people or people who can contribute much to the Legion as a whole.

[It's kinder than saying it weeds out the weak.]

[Yeah, but it's going to prompt him to ask a question that's been bothering him for awhile, since he first heard about this little "test" thing.]

So what happens if someone... fails this test? I'm guessing she doesn't push more on someone than they should be expected to take, but if they don't pass...

[Does she kill demigods?]

She doesn't kill them, and neither do her wolves.

[Aqua looks over at Percy with seriousness.]

Failing the test means you get torn apart by her wolves, yes. Weakness isn't tolerated in a wolf pack, and Lupa won't make an exception for us. She teaches us her ways and our heritage, then she sets the test. I think it might be tailored to each person, but I don't know that for certain. Even normal interactions with her requires us to never show weakness to her.
