Chapter 1: The Charge
"For ROME!"
Jason charged forward right at the Minotaur. A gladius (a short roman sword) swinging in front of him crazily. Reyna was right behind him with a pilum (a roman spear) slashing through spartus as they re-formed just as fast has she been killing them. An army of demigods charged up the hill side through an army of monsters. A ferocious empousae (kind of monster) charged at Jason. He slashed through has it turned to fire appearing a few feet away in safety. It kicked at him with its horrid one bronze leg and one donkey leg. He side stepped with extreme skill and impaled his gladius right through its torso. It was not as quick as before and she vaporized into a million pieces. His short victory was diminished as soon as he so the hoarding mass of monsters moving toward him. The Minotaur was the most noticeable not even twenty yards away. Reyna swooped down on her Pegasus and grabbed Jason and flung him behind her.
"We can't win! We need to retreat back to camp Jupiter and re-group." Reyna yelled
"We have made so far, but I agree." Jason said exasperated
"REGROUP! REGROUP! First, second, and third cohorts flank them and make a full circle back to camp." Reyna directed
"Fourth and fifth follow us." Jason said following her lead
"Let's go!"
They stormed down the hill leading the monsters toward them so the rest of the demigods could sneak up behind them and vaporize most of them. After that they would flee to camp Jupiter. Hopefully they would be safe there. It was time to deal with the Minotaur.
He flung himself off the Pegasus and landed a few feet away from the Minotaur. He swung forward and sliced through its leg. It was not hurt but if possible even madder. He side stepped and slid under its legs stabbing behind him. It roared in pain as it swung its hand. Jason went flying into a group of hydra. He rolled ahead and caught the Minotaur off guard he swung and the sword impaled itself in its eye. It roared in pain and thrashed around blindly. He stepped on two monsters and fell forward on top off the hill. Jason lunged and decapitated it. It turned to dust and Jason stumbled away. He followed Reyna and led the rest of the monsters away. The rest of the demigods succeeded and ran from behind. They killed about one-third of the monsters and escaped to their safe haven: Camp Jupiter.
They arrived behind the little Tiber and headed to the barracks to prepare and sleep. Jason walked behind the praetor table next to Reyna.
"Good job today"
"You too"
