Chapter 1
I was standing in the middle of a big grass field. I didn't even stop to think how I got there. A figure was approaching me. From the top, the figure looked normal, butwhen I looked down, I saw that it wasn't wearing any pants. Where the feet were supposed to go, there were cloven hooves.
"Percy!" it called. I realized with a start that it was my best friend: Grover the satyr. He seemed panicked.
"Grover! What's wrong?" I asked. Grover was looking desperate now.
"Something big happened at camp! Monsters are going to attack you right now! Get to camp right away!" he cried. Before I could respond. The ground below me cracked. Suddenly, I was falling into a pool of blood.
You cannot escape me, hero. A voice spoke in my mind. I recognized it. It was the voice of Kronos, the titan lord. I panicked. I was plummeting toward the pool of blood and realized that it was covered with dead bodies: Bodies of my friends. This is just a dream, I told myself, but I felt my whole body shivering at the sight. I landed with a splash into the pool. I realized that although I was the son of Poseidon, the sea god, I was still drowning.
"NO!" I cried.
"Percy! Percy! Wake up!" a voice called out. It was distant. I woke up and found myself facing my mom. She scanned me, looking confused. Then I remembered the dream.
"Mom! We need to get to camp right away!" I cried. I started getting my stuff.
"But-" The door creaked opened. I signaled for my mother to hide. I pulled out my ballpoint pen and uncapped it. It grew into a 3 feet long celestial bronze sword. My prize possession, the sword that saved me more times than I could count. I catched a glimpse of the enemy and saw four, eight feet tall giants with wild eyes and pointy teeth. Laistrygonian giants. They were carrying iron clubs and looked like they wanted to pulverize someone. I lunged at one and it immediately shimmered into dust from contact with celestial bronze. Another one tried to smash me, but I parried and sent my sword straight through the monster's heart. I was starting to feel uneasy now. If Kronos really wanted to get me, he would send something better than this. Suddenly, an intensifying pain appeared on my right arm. I looked and saw gallons of blood pouring out. I let myself be distracted, and a giant smashed his club on my head. I collapsed. Maybe this was the place I would die, and Nico would control the prophecy, I thought sadly. Someone magically appeared in front of me, holding a green sword. A poisoned sword. He was wearing an eye patch. I recognized him from the labyrinth: Ethan Nakamura. A son of Nemesis, the god of revenge. He was holding a blue Yankees cap, Annabeth's magic cap. I felt my chest fill with anger, but then another giant smashed me on the head and I blacked out, thinking that this might be my last moment alive.
