Note: Taken place just as Percy is sailing to get back to camp just after he leaves Calypso's island.
The water was stormy up ahead, I sailed on a glassy surface, the water matched my eyes, but up ahead, it seemed to be at war. The water was the darkest shade it could be, almost black, it roared and waves thrashed in agony unexpressed in words. Storm clouds gathered above, threatening to drop heavy loads of icy rain.
I increased in speed getting closer to this storm, my mind screamed to calm it but it wouldn't stay. Some friendly hippocampus rose to the surface, they reared and whined in my mind, my heart turned cold.
Run lord! They are coming! He is coming!
They screamed, a giant shark, twenty feet, rose roaring, it jumped at the horses and started to attack, I yelped and skidded back as they screamed and the black water gained a red outline. Three thoughts raced in my head.
The first, I wasn't going to make it back to camp. My mind told me I was only a mile out, but this water was blocking my powers, choking my abilities.
The second, my father wasn't doing this. When he did anything for me, a salty tinge was left in the air. When the hippocampus first met with Tyson, there was a tinge of salt, when I was falling from the arch, I smelt a tinge of salt, but here, it burned. Like after drinking a bottle of pop, the fizzy water burning your nose that was it. Or drinking saltwater, the burning sensation in your throat, that was it.
The third thing, I knew who was doing it.
The raft jolted and started breaking as the waves hacked on it.
"Dang."
I grunted, my body was still weak, but I had to make this. A large hippocampus surfaced, Rainbow, I jumped on willingly, but before I could even make a ripple, a large monster rose above the surface. Its scales were long and oil black, it had a muzzle, long and pointed like a dragon, but it had two long whiskers like a catfish. A few green gills were down on its neck, and its eyes were a glowing green. On the top of it's head were two long horns, they were bone white even though the rest of it's body was dark. I was only seeing it's head, and that was already as big as a hellhound. I knew there was no way to escape this one.
Surprisingly, the main threat wasn't the monster, it was the man leaning against one of it's horns. He wore a long cloak like the wizards do in those movies, his skin was very tan and leathery, but the shocking part, under his black hair was shocking green eyes that no mortal could ever have. With one glace I knew who this man was, and I knew I was done for.
"Hello Perseus Jackson, we have been waiting."
He said calmly, I uncapped riptide under the water. He smiled and started a vortex, I plunged under, and without the help of my father's abilities I would've drowned then. Rainbow grabbed me and I jumped on, the man sunk down on his giant sea monster, he was in hot pursuit, throwing chunks of ice, I was growing weaker, my body was ready to shut down. I said goodbye to Rainbow, and did the stupidest thing ever, I jumped. I jumped at Oceanus while I was still hurt, in a flash, black water swirled around me, it stopped moving and it hardened, I screamed as I realized what he was doing, he was freezing me in ice. He grinned as the water froze harder and harder, right to my skin, it froze the water under it, and more, soon, my eyes closed and I froze, I knew he let go, and I was sinking under the water, possibly dead, just a mile away from camp half blood. With a swish of its tail, Oceanus disappeared on the back of his monster, He grinned in the water as it slowly lightened and the storm vanished, he disappeared back to Kronos.
