Hey, Bird Kid Max here. This is my very first story so R&R please!
PERCY'S POV
I paced the deck of the Argo II impatiently waiting for Annabeth to come back with Hazel and Piper. They had gone down to the city below us to get some supplies. Apparently we needed a toilet plunger after Coach Hedge, well, you know. Anyway they were down below and here I was. They should have been back earlier but I think they were just held up. They can take care of themselves.
"Hey, uh, Percy?" Frank called pointing above us. "What's that?"
Jason, Leo, Coach Hedge, and I all looked up and saw, well, I don't know what they were.
"They look to big to be birds," noted Jason. "But to small to be any flying monster I've seen."
"It does look like they have wings-" Frank started to say but the Coach cut him off.
"Well what are we waiting for!" He yelled galloping over to the ballista.
"Wait!" Leo yelled but it was to late. That was an unintentional rhyme One of the objects knocked one of the others out of the way just as the missile flew past. If it had been there a second longer they would have gotten hit.
"Hedge!" We all yelled but the Coach was in battle mode. He couldn't hear us. Leo ran over and pried the Coach away.
"Aw, come on!" He yelled. "Just one more! I can get 'em!" Then the figures started to come down. Right towards our ship.
