Chiron
It was a grim day for Camp Half-Blood.
Chiron looked over the mix of campers assembled in front of the armory. He had been through two Olympian wars, more quests he approved of that his students never returned from than he could count, and the near-destruction of camp. None of it hit him as hard as the loss of Camp Jupiter. It was the last thing he could've imagined, seeing the small group of battle-weary survivors that was left of the Roman camp. It was like a bad dream come to life. He only knew bits and pieces of what happened. As soon as the sun began to set, the titan Astraeus appeared. The defenses around Camp Jupiter slowed, but didn't stop the titan. It only gave them enough time to prepare for the battle. Still, the Romans weren't a match for him. If it was a god, Chiron could say with confidence that the camp would have survived. But a fully-powered titan was something else entirely. They fought a losing battle until they couldn't anymore, and then they fled.
The gods were worryingly silent. The mood at Camp Half-Blood was at an all time low. Capture the Flag was a necessary distraction. For the Romans, it would take their minds off the grief and loss they suffered, if only for an hour. For his own students, he hoped it would help them regain their fighting spirit. He thought they would need it for what was to come. A prophecy hadn't been issued yet, but it was only a matter of time.
But for now, Chiron would have them do something lighter, fun, and hopefully they would bond over it. He cleared his throat. "Everyone! Everyone should have already begun preparing for today's game of Capture the Flag, but if you haven't, now is your chance," he said, mostly for the benefit of the Romans. "The team assignments were posted in the dining pavilion. But as a reminder, blue team! Your captain is Minerva Steel, daughter of Poseidon. Red team! Your captain is Maximillian Fitzroy, son of Zeus! Remind each other of the rules, and good luck!"
