Lore & Background
The Legion's rise began when Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, stole Zeus's Master Bolt. He manipulated Ares and covered up his crime to instigate a war between the Olympians, allowing Kronos to rise again. This force was not just monsters; it included demigods who fell under Kronos's influence. The threat grew as Percy Jackson realized he could contribute to either the world's destruction or preservation. The Legion's campaign culminated in an attempt to obliterate Olympus, forcing a final confrontation where the fate of the world hung in the balance.
In Their Own Story
The conflict escalated when Luke Castellan stole the lightning bolt to allow Kronos to rise again. Ares was manipulated by Kronos and helped cover up Luke's crime, instigating a war between the Olympians. Percy Jackson, accompanied by Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, faced numerous monsters while trying to save his mother and retrieve the stolen bolt. The journey revealed that Kronos possessed the body of Luke Castellan as he rose to obliterate Olympus. In the final battle against Lord Kronos, who had fully taken control of Luke's body, the demigods prepared for a war that would decide if they contributed to the world's destruction or preservation.
