Ben motioned for a guard to hand him a sword as he approached the sleeping form. As far as he knew, Maleficent was the only one that could turn into a dragon and not even Mal could do that. He looked at the three of his friends that stood in front of him. They were paralyzed at the sight of the dragon.
"Evie, where's Mal?" Ben asked her carefully.
She snapped out of it and broke down. The daughter of one of the most feared villains on the Isle was crying at the feet of a dragon because her friend was missing. That was when Ben realized that they were more than friends. As far as the four – well, three – were concerned, they were a family. Ben stumbled a little. Evie was crying because he had mentioned Mal. Mal…
Before he allowed himself to break down, Ben turned to Jay. "Do we know for certain that Mal is…..?" Jay shook his head. "Is there a way to wake up Maleficent other than naturally?"
Evie's whimpering voice stopped when she saw something. She told Ben, "Pain normally turns her back into a human and wakes her. But –"
The sound of Ben's borrowed sword going into a spot that in bad circumstances could be fatal interrupted her. A wail escaped the dragon's snout and Evie gasped in horror. The beast convulsed and changed form. A large cut was in the side of the human below them, but she wasn't human for long. Only a second or two passed before she transformed back into a dragon and started to crawl away.
No one tried to get in the way of the dragon, so she tried going faster. She concluded that she couldn't get through the tall, oak doors and weakly spread her wings. She flapped them once. Twice. Thrice. The dragon was soaring through the air and broken the one piece of not stained glass in the entire building.
Evie, Carlos, Ben, and Jay ran out along with a few others to see the dragon fly out over the ocean. It was obvious that the poor creature was weak and was trying to get somewhere. Ben stared at the swelling, bleeding wound in the beast's side with horror. He sank to his knees as the dragon finally gave out and dropped in the middle of the ocean, turning back into a human just before she hit the surface.
His face twisted in pain as a small, purple lizard was brought to him in a glass cage. The new king ignored it. "Oh, Mal," he muttered, though it was more of a whimper, "what have I done?"
Ships were order to go to where she had fallen with their best swimmers to try and find her. And, for the first time in his life, Ben knew that he was truly a beast.
Percy Jackson
The gang boarded the OLYMPIA and it, the ship, immediately started moving. Leo led everyone, including the Stolls, down to a room that had even more occupants. Calypso, Leo's new girlfriend, Clarisse La Rue, Cris Rodriguez, Katie Gardner, Grover Underwood, and Thalia Grace were sitting in chairs around the table. Annabeth stepped back in surprise. Thalia was supposed to be a part of Lady Artemis's hunt, but she was allowed to also go on leave because of the past two wars that she had just come out of.
Annabeth ran over and hugged her long-time friend. Percy smiled at them and then said, "Okay, guys, I have sort of rigged the ship so it will take us to a wonderful amazing place that we haven't gone to yet! We should be there soon!" He then smiled at Annabeth and led her to a room.
"This," he proudly stated, "is our room!" It wasn't small, but it wasn't big. There was a bed with grey painted wooden stands and pillows and green sheets. The walls were striped with different shades of blue. A regular flat-screen TV was mounted to a wall across from a grey and green couch.
Looking at the bed, Annabeth yawned. To her displeasure, Percy noticed and told her to take a nap. She lay down on the bed and was out before Percy could lie down next to her. Percy would have lied down with her, but Jason called him up top.
He trudged up onto the deck with everyone else. The sky was blue except for a very large cloud about two days away that seemed stationed above a purple bubble that surrounded an island. The passengers chose to ignore that part about the island (meaning the entire thing). Everything else was beautiful. A large piece of land was barely visible from where they were and they figured that that was mainland or at least a bigger island.
Most of them were staring up at a place above the water a while away. A large shape in the air was making its way toward the ship. It got closer and they realized it was a –
"DRAGON!" Clarisse yelled.
And there it was – a scaly version of Festus that just happened to be tinted purple. Its flying seemed to be labored and it stopped just above the OLYMPIA. The dragon fell at a quick pace and Percy was soon on the stairs, going down to wake Annabeth to make sure she'd be safe during the crash, when it transformed into a purple hair teenage girl of about sixteen.
She had a long cut down her rib cage area that was bleeding rapidly. The fifteen of them stared at the girl for about thirty seconds. Then, they woke up. She needed medical attention, so Will took her down to a room deemed the infirmary. Grover started to sniff her to see if she was mortal or demigod. The girl was deemed demigod, but Grover sensed something off about her.
Percy stared out over the waves to the large piece of land they were headed to. He couldn't see ships coming out on the docks, but he could feel them in the water. He didn't know how he knew, but he did. Those people were looking for the dragon girl. Whether for good or bad reasons, he couldn't tell, but if worse came to worse, he'd fight for the poor girl. He and his friends would keep her safe.
A/N: Hi again! So okay, I sort of lied last time. I forgot to go into detail about the OLYMPIA's lettering. The 'O' is sea green striped with blue in a bubbled letter way. The 'L' is grey and yellow in a fancy cursive way. The 'Y' is electric blue in a Harry Potter lightning way. The 'M' is pink and black, painted in a way that makes it look like a braid. The 'P' is red, orange, and yellow and looks like it was made out of a flame. The 'I' is purple in a Times New Roman font. The 'A' is different colors in metallic shades in a way that looked sort of like it was strands of horse hair.
