Eliana's point of view:
Run, I kept telling myself as my feet began to ache. I had to run, I had to get to camp, the one Dad talked of all those times, but I knew I would never make it as long as I held back my full power. NO, you promised never to use them again, it will only hurt more! I knew I was right, but the monster was gaining. I turned to look at it, big mistake. As I turned, it took the advantage to speed up, screaming as it advanced.
Percy's point of view:
I was at the canoe lake when it happened. I was just about to jump into my boat when a monster cry came from the woods. It was loud, so loud I had to cover my ears. It was weird because monsters normally don't get that near to the entrance of Camp Half Blood; they know to give up on the hunt when demigods get near the border. The monster cry seemed to confuse the other campers too, everyone ran to the cry, interested and wondering.
As I ran to the entrance the cry of the monster became even louder and painful. Finally I got to the Thalia's Pine. As I moved through the crowds' people moved to form a path so I could get to the front. Right at the boundary line, Chiron was on all fours next to Annabeth and Thalia (the hunters of Artemis were staying at Camp Half Blood, as Artemis was needed on Olympus). After me came Jason and Piper.
It's been a year after the war with Gaia and Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter united. Now demigods who need training stay at Camp Half Blood and once your training is complete you can move to Camp Jupiter to live an almost normal life. Now both camps home Greek and Roman demigods. As well as the Romans living at Camp Half Blood, they brought over some traditions. Now next to the climbing wall there are many temples for each of the gods just like Temple Hill, also by the showers are the roman baths.
Before Chiron could tell me what was going on, a cry so loud came that some of the campers fainted. But before any of us could help them a voice came from the woods. "Is that all you got!?" The voice was loud and powerful, but it was also feminine and sweet. Once the voice had shouted the owner of the voice came out of the bushes.
The girl must have been 17, a year younger than me. She was tall and skinny with some muscle. She had brown hair which seemed to be light in some areas and dark in others and she had stormy blue eyes, like a rain storm. From the first glance you could tell she was drop dead beautiful, but in a way as if she wasn't trying. She wore a torn cheque shirt, a battered pair of jeans and converse.
When I looked around I saw guys staring at her, this made me annoyed, and none of them were good enough for her. I was shocked to think that. I wasn't attracted to her, I just felt protective over her. Weird.
Before anyone could move towards her, the monster appeared. People gasped as it became visible. It couldn't be. The creature had a lion head and body, with a goats head coming out from its back. Then to top it all off it had a snake as a tail. It was absolutely huge, maybe twice the girl's height. I knew she wouldn't win this battle. I couldn't win that battle. Nobody could win this battle. Not against the Chimera.
Eliana's point of view:
The cut on my leg was killing me. I could just about walk on it. When I finally made it to the clearing I only had a moment to take in all the people. Demigods. Some were as young as 7 and some as old as 20. Before I could say anything the Chimera appeared. I had been fighting it for two days now, never winning or losing.
I ran towards it and tried to cut it with my dagger, no use, the snake tail grabbed the dagger, giving me just enough time to jump over the creature.
I had to do it, I couldn't hold back.
I landed on my feet and faced the Chimera. Before I changed my mind I took in a deep breath concentrated on ground beneath me and slammed my hand on the ground. Suddenly a wave of power washed over me, to the floor. The ground began to move towards the Chimera, trapping him. Once the Chimera was covered in the ground, I span my body, creating a small hurricane around the Chimera. The Chimera spat and screamed, but I didn't hear it, I was concentrating. Before I could stop myself I summoned my full energy.
I felt the power of the ocean, the ground and the sky come to me, and a water orb came to my hands, sparkling with lightning. It became bigger, bigger than my head. I soon realise I was floating high in the sky, so I was eye level with the Chimera. As he battled his way out of the hurricane, I flung my orb at him, making him scream for the last time. When his scream was finished, all that was left was a heap of sand.
I had done it, killed something that had never be killed. But before I could think anymore, my head became heavy, my body weightless and I was plummeting towards the ground.
Percy's point of view:
As the girl defeat the Chimera my eyes were wide with surprise. I stayed frozen for a moment. How could she defeat the undefeatable? How was she that powerful? Before I could think too much on that, the girl started falling from the sky.
"Jason, ease her fall!" Chiron said to the son of Jupiter. Jason quickly created an air current which brought the girl down easily.
As she returned to the ground we all ran over to her. She didn't seem to be wounded just exhausted. She was lying in such a way that the back of her shirt was half way up her back and right there on her lower back was a blue tattoo. A trident.
"Does that mean…" I asked Chiron as he saw the tattoo as well.
"It means, Eliana has come to camp."
