Prologue
Percy ran as fast as he could. He was tried, bleeding and depressed. He felt like he could die right now and all his problems would fix so many things. Though all his friends and his mom would then have to suffer even more and he wouldn't allow it, not after what happened to her.
Flashback
He and Annabeth where driving home after a night out wanting to celebrate the victory of the giant war alone. He was driving her home though felt something bad was going to happen tonight. He shrugged it off; nothing was going to spoil this night, no monster, no war it was just the two off them. The came to a red stoplight, it was quiet for New York. He turned and looked at her she was so beautiful. Her stormy grey eyes that was more beautiful than ever and her hair just like from so many years ago long golden with curls the definition of gorgeous cascading past her shoulders.
"Percy, I want to tell you something." Her voice filled with nervousness.
He stopped breathing, but relaxed and told himself this is his girlfriend the love of his life. The stoplight turned green. She opened her mouth, but before anything came out of it. He heard a car horn and a crash. His last though was Annabeth and he blacked out.
Several days later he woke up. His friends surrounding him smiling glad he was alive and his mother crying of joy. He looked around and noticed they were in a hospital room, but the only person missing was Annabeth. Noticing his confusion Jason came forward and said five words that crumbled his life.
"She did not make it."
End of Flashback
He now had tears streaming at the worst moments in his life. All his friends and everyone he loved died all because of him not being strong enough. He ran into an open field from the forest turned around grabbed riptide clicked it. It sprang to life as he waited for his enemy to appear. Out came the chimera with a snake as a tail, a lion head and a goat's head that could spew fire at him.
He tapped his watch the third or fourth watch from Tyson. The rate at which he destroyed his shields he felt bad, Tyson he placed so much effort into them. The chimera ran and attacked him. He went on the defense and stayed in front of it. People say he is dumb, but he wasn't he knew if he went too much sideways he would travel directly into the deadly snake. Though right now the problem was the stupid goat head that would spew fire at random moments. Then it hit him, though if he failed it would be certain death. He bashed his shield against the heads jumped back threw his shield and the lions head. Following it up with a deadly quick swipe and chopped the goats head off, two to go.
Now faced with a new problem a lion with claws and he had a sword. At least he didn't have to worry about fire. They engaged into to combat though throwing the shield was a mistake. He was gaining scars and cuts at a rapid pace. If he would have been at full strength is would have been an easier fight. He backed off and noticed he had one last chance. He had one more option risker that anything else. He ran jumped over the lion and before the snake reacted he cut off the tail, 2 down 1 to go.
With the tail out of the way and the ability to dodge the battle was for once on his side. With the final swing the lion head fell to the ground. Adrenaline left him and he felt overly exhausted. He fell to the ground back against the tree a drifted to a dreamless sleep.
