"Cadet Natalia Salutes you" replied Natalia while slightly bowing.

"No need for formalities cadet. sit sit" laughed the man while gesturing to spot right next to him. "I am Prefect Victor Diyu, nice to meet you Natalia hope you will think about joining our unit rather then Xia Fangs."

"Victor, have some dignity, always inviting everyone to your cohort. Besides Natalia would much rather prefer a front line unit rather then your sabotage gang" retorted Xia Fang

"Ehhh, Xia your always so strict with me. Sabotage isn't all we do in fact remember when we had to perform rescue because your cohort had gotten isolated during skirmish." said Victor with a smile.

Xia Fang blushed slightly but replied "As I recall you needed us to help you in your retreat awhile back. What kind of assassins are you, not planning a way back."

Natalia hearing this smiled she thought "Seems like competition here isn't just with legions but with occupations as well."

"Fine fine you made your point, in that I need you and you need me" smiled Victor

"Shameless." sneered Xia Fang "Anyways Natalia now that your seated, dig in while the rest of us introduce ourselves" promptly handing her a plate.

Seeing all the cooked beef, pork and delicacies Natalia had an irresistible urge to eat. Soon she had stacked her plate with fried rice roasted pork skin, boneless thigh, and stuffed lettuce wraps. During this she listened in hearing bits and pieces about the war games, gossip and introductions from fellow demigods. Natalia constantly was amazed at conversations she was hearing like how a demigod in the war game had taken over six pilas before being kicked out, or how another on the offensive team had managed to hurl a spear which had impaled quite a few men to the ground.

Shortly after being stuffed Natalia joined in on Victors and Xias conversation saying "Prefects, do you have any stories to tell it seems after listening to just accounts about the war games there truly are some remarkable feats. "

"Bahahahaha" Laughed Victor "sure Natalia, though I think we should save it until after this."

"After what ?" replied Natalia. Upon Saying this the camp quickly quieted down.

"It's time to step up on the stage Natalia" said Xia Fang who now was being assisted into her armor. "Come take follow me."

The crowd seemed to be dispersing to their respective tables and at the stage stood three figures the one in the middle emanated a feeling of superiority and respect. While the two behind him resonated similar feelings but more reserved.

Xia Fang went from a carefree attitude to a more drawback, cautious character. Both the girls went up the side and soon knelt on one knee. Following this the crowd repeated the same thing.

"Natalia the man in the middle is Legate Mikael, Tribune Alexie is to his right, while Tribune Aurelius is to the left." whispered Xia Fang.

"Legion rise" said Mikael. Even though like it wasn't a yell it seemed to be heard in everyone's ears and resonated in the very depths of their souls. "Natalia this is a Soul Stone gifted by the Three Fates. This stone has be in existence since the Chaos Gods and stores a record of every known God whether be a minor god or part of the 12 major gods. Only five have been recovered since the Titan War. They come from the heart of Gaia herself. With this we can trace your divine bloodline."

Alexie came forward with a marble pedestal that had a hollow basin in the shape of a rhombus, while Aurelius produced a sparkling gem like object that gave a warm glow and reflected the light of the campfire. Despite the beauty it was actually only the size of a person's palm. He then proceeded to place it in the basin.

"Natalia cover over place your palm here" beckoned Mikael.

Natalia soon did so, upon placing her palm on the stone felt a sharp stinging pain as if the stone was trying to tear her arm off but something kept her in place unmoving despite the pain. She gritted her teeth baring it unable to to anything even yell, her bones seemed as if they were being grounded over and over while her back was covered in cold sweat. After what seemed like eternity the pain subsided and soon the stone let her let go. Immediately after realizing she was granted movement she let go and was greeted with the sight of a dog or specifically a hunting dog with golden fur also shining white light. It had wolf like features with its snarled fangs and pointed ears. Shortly after the manifestation it vanished in a blazing white light filled with purity that uplifted everyone spirits.

"Cadet Natalia you are the daughter of Artemis Goddess of the Hunt." Mikael said simply "Now a fairly uncommon demigod is part of us."

With this Mikael turned to silent crowd saying "Legion the night is still young, thanks to the war games we have luxury rations of Spam and canned bacon !"

Murmurs coupled with cheers broke out "Yes!! No more hard biscuits or mystery meat meal time" yelled one

Xia Fang proceeded to nudge Natalia saying "lets go Natalia, Tribune Alexie and the others will join the festivities in a few."

Coming back to her senses after hearing she was the daughter of Artemis she weakly replied "yes but, first let's grab some water that soul stone was hell"

....

Mikael seeing the both of them leave smiled thinking "leave it to Xia never asking to be dismissed, I hope she doesn't influence her too"

"Centurions, escort tribune Aurelius back to the 4th legion and store the Soul Stone please." said Mikael while pointing to the side of the stage.

"I'll be off Legate Mikael, please don't pull off what you did in the morning games next time for the sake of our hearts" laughed Aurelius.

"Hahaha" laughed Mikael "Go we will see next week when we attack you. Come Alexie we should discuss a few things before the night grows old."

Alexie upon hearing this was surprised but promptly followed Mikael to his cabin. The legates cabin was the same like the surrounding cabins but on the inside held a sort of minimal feeling with art work combined with smooth minimalist furniture. Mikael beckoned her to a bar area that was filled with all sorts of custom cocktails that emitted numerous dazzling colors. Upon being seated Mikael went to the counter pulling out some whiskey and two shot glasses. Then he said while pouring "Alexie, tell me who is the Goddess Artemis ?"

"The god of women, purity and most of all hunting. Twin sister of Apollo." replied Alexie as she swirled the whiskey around. "Why ?"

"How would a demigod whose mother was goddess of purity end up being one of the most sinful souls we have have in our legion let alone being accepted by the Hades Contract ?" said Mikael bluntly.

Alexie thought long and hard saying before turning into a grave expression "You and I both know it has something to do with the Persian War, I can't recall anyone else in the epics to have been the daughter of Artemis but still commit heavenly sins." Following this she took a shot while beckoning Mikael to prep another glass.

"Before you get too wasted join your cabin in celebration, I'm sure Natalia would be intrigued by you" Mikael said rather lazily.

"Fine Fine but you will join to right ?" replied Alexie. She really did think highly of Mikael after all they both had been in numerous life and death battles, not just once did Mikael shield her with his body but made excuses as to why he did so. However she rarely saw Mikael in gatherings like this even on her birthdays Mikael simply stayed for around an hour before leaving.

"No Alexie, I have to deal with other matters like legion supplies. Let me walk you out." said Mikael.

.....

"I never thought she would be reincarnated." sighed Mikael as he poured another shot.
