Percy's POV

Why did I have to say something?
My day was going fine, until Annabeth asked me,"Shouldn't we be worried, if we're just walking around, outside of camp?"

"Nah.", I replied."We already stopped Kronos and Gaea right? Nothing else can happen, or else that would just be way too much bad luck."

And of course, right after that, we hear an explosion.

"Percy!"

"Okay, I'm sorry, but still!"

Annabeth sighed.

"Whatever that was, we better check it out", she said.

Let me just say that when we got there, things did not look pretty.

We ran towards the sound that we heard, and saw a girl and a boy fighting a monster I had never seen before.
They were yelling weird words, like "Ha`Di!" and "N`dah!", that created symbols in the air(were those hieroglyphics?), that were glowing and doing strange things like I imagined old school magic in the 100's might've.

"What in-", Annabeth started.

Then the boy took his weird bent sword and stabbed the thing in it's gut.
Instead of disintegrating, or even bleeding, it started to pour out sand from it's wound.

We were about to help, but then the girl yelled something and the monster exploded.
Then they turned around and saw us.

They looked at each other, and apparently had a silent conversation with each other before running off.

"Should we follow them?" I asked Annabeth.

"I don't think so...let's go report to Mr.D."

"Really?! Him?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Come on Seaweed Brain. Let's get back to camp. It looks like it's turning dark..."

And we ran back to Camp Half-Blood.
