Chapter 1
Swords clashed. Monster dust and crimson blood leaked onto the ground. The demigods fought for their lives and their home, their family and their loved ones. As they were struggling, a new wave of monsters charged into the battlefield. Percy Jackson, along with Annabeth Chase, ran towards the monsters with their blades out. Percy slashed Riptide across an empousai's throat as Annabeth plunged her drakon-bone sword into a telkhine's stomach. However, as skilled and powerful the two demigods were, the monsters were getting too much for them. Annabeth was yanking her sword out of a telkhine's chest when she collapsed. A bronze blade stuck out of the forehead of the hellhound behind her, and covered in monster dust was Percy. His face was filled with panic as he saw his girlfriend covered in blood. He swiped his sword through a dracenae's neck and ducked under a another hellhound's claws. He tried to get to Annabeth, but struggled to get past the endless monsters. He chopped off the flailing arms of an earthborn and kicked it in the chest into the dagger of another monster, when a hellhound pounced on it and grabbed his leg and bit hard with its fangs. Percy screamed and blood poured from his wound. This slight distraction was enough for a dracenae sneaking up. When Percy stabbed his sword in the hellhound's chest, the dracaenae leaped on him and stuck its spear into his back. He stiffened, and fell to the ground with a spear sticking through his stomach. A bright sea green light SHOT through the air and blasted the dracaena in the chest. She disintegrated into golden dust. A man with black hair and sea green eyes like the currents in bronze armor rushed to the demigods. The monsters dared not to attack in The presence of the earthshaker, the god of the seas Poseidon. He had seen the two demigods being swarmed from the other side of the battlefield but was too engrossed in his fight with a giant to help. After another god came to fight the giant he ran across to help. His heart clenched at the sight of his son covered in his own blood. He crouched next to his son and his girlfriend. He put his fingers to his neck and felt for a pulse. His heart dropped. They were gone.
