Set during the Titan's curse: One shall be lost in the land without rain.
Percy, Zoe, Thalia, Annabeth, and Bianca had reached a junkyard. Zoe looked at it with caution. "Touch nothing." she whispered, "It's Hephaestus's junkyard. I looked at her as she walked through, all tense and acting like something, ANYTHING, was going to come out of the piles of rusty metal and kill us Bianca had her eye on something on the ground. It looked… human. She slowly bent down and as her fingers stretched to touch it, Zoe saw but was not quick enough. She picked it up and as Zoe was screaming at her to put it down, one of the biggest piles of trash started shaking and moving. Metal groaned and creaked as a very large robot had emerged. "Talos!" Zoe screamed as she was telling all of us to move. "It's too small, must be a prototype." Annabeth was still staring at it, unmoving studying its every detail. The sword came down and I roared as I pushed her out of the way, then quickly jumped over to the other side. Bianca saw the hatch in Talos's foot and ran toward it. I set Annabeth down, and tackled her to the ground. I whisper in her ear. "Your brother needs you." She tenses, then goes limp. I looked at the automaton's pace, and started going toward it accordingly. As I ran, I saw everyone important to me telling me to stop, that they needed them and that they love me. I kept going with tears in my eyes as I faced the end of the road. I opened the hatch and climbed inside with not a second to spare. That must be why the climbing wall is so important. I thought with a small grin. There was a mass of wires and electrical equipment. Pulling them away from the apparent power source, I hear a loud hum as everything starts to get very hot. "Goodbye, my friends." I saw a bright light, brighter than the sun itself, then a darkness more dark than anything I had ever seen.
Sorry about the shortness, my sister was being a female dog so to speak and wouldn't leave me alone. i will try harder to make longer chappies. Bye!
