Life at Camp Jupiter

“Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.” - Titus Livius

Omnis - all, every

We all have a small desire to rule everything around us. We all have that need to control, but many of us keep is quiet, keep it hidden. We are able to keep that desire to control under our own control. The desire grows with everything we gain control over until we cannot control that which craves control any longer.

We crave all- every- thing to be under our control, but we know it is impossible. That impossibility helps us keep ourselves in check. That impossibility helps us know that we cannot hold the world in our hand, that we cannot control that which should not be controlled by one being. We know from that impossibility that we are not meant- never meant, no- to control everything, to control all around us and more.

Omnis means all; it means every; it means the one ideal we want to control. We must have everything under our thumb, we must have all around us in our grip. We have to control it, but we also know we have to hide that ache in our hearts. We ache and hope for a way to finally reveal that desire, and we ache and we hope for some way to keep is forever hidden. We want both paths, but we know we cannot have both.

We, as mortals, wish for that power which only Gods may hold. Omnis is only for the Gods to hold, only for the Gods to control. The Gods do not hold the ache for control, the desire for more and more rule over all. The Gods have what they were born to hold, and the Gods will always have what they were born to hold, to control, to rule.

Omnis is not for mortals. It is not for you. It is not for children of the Gods. It is only for the Gods, and it is only meant for the Gods. That is how it has been since the dawn of time, and that is how it will be until the end of time. 

Omnis means all, and it means every, and control of those things should never be assumed to be for mortals. Those who could die could never hold all.

Lupus- wolf

Wolves run freely, as free as the wind rustling the leaves in a forest, through the world around us. They outlive us in memory, in concept. Wolves, as a concept, feel ancient- feel older than the very earth itself. 

Wolves are a strength, a promise of forever and a promise of success. Lupus- a promise of winning, a promise of conquering  the world around us like a wolf coming for its prey. 

Run free- as free as every lupus is known to be. Run wild- like wolves have always been known to be. Wild as the wind, wild as the world was before humans took it over. 

Wolves are true and pure. Wolves are lupus. Wolves are eternal.

Navem- ship

Navem is a way home, a way to explore, and a way to journey. It is a way to be more, more free and more joyous. We have always sought to become more free, to become more like a lupus, but we can never be as free as they are- so we take the next best thing. We take to the ocean; we take to navem to be free.

We wish for a way to fly, a way to be more free than the ocean or the land can allow us to be. We want to hear the sound of the wind rushing past our ears, the feeling of the air twisting through our hair- but we know we cannot without the aid of something else. We could call it navem but navem of the sky. We cannot gain what we wish from it- the sound and the feeling from the breeze, the way for us to feel as free as we once believed ourselves to be. It is still something to aid us in our quest of the rush we need.

The stars call for us next, call to give us the freedom we seek. There is no air to rush through our hair, no sound to surround our senses. There is only us, the stars, and our navem of the stars. It is the ultimate freedom, to be among the stars and shadows of those which have already perished. Our navem are not strong enough to withstand the journeys we wish to take among the cosmos, but one day we will reach the furthest reaches of the universe.

One day, we will be truly free- our navem and us.

Camp Jupiter Headcanon: A few months after the war, the relationship between the Roman Demigods, and the Greek Demigods from Camp Halfblood has become so close, that both parties try to learn each other’s languages - in the hopes of understanding each other better. A mix of broken Greek/Latin is all that can be heard in the streets of New Rome - for literally so long, that an agitated Terminus persuades the Gods to ‘mute’ everyone for 2 weeks.

Camp Jupiter Headcanons: When a praetor is elected before they can do anything they have to walk through all of New Rome wearing nothing but their undies and carry around a large banner with SPQR written on it. They are usually followed by a large crowd of people chanting them on.
