Over the next couple of days people were busy making their chariot and planning defenses while at night a few concerned campers were guarding the boarder to the camp at night. Percy denied any relationship with Tyson, people teased Percy constantly, and my time spent wasn't much better. Though it was completely opposite that of Percy's my time was still annoying, probably even more so than his.
People made snide remarks of me being Zeus's son, people flattered me, people tried to mess with me. The flattery and attention was too much. I don't seem like a person to enjoy peace and quiet, but I am. So at night I would hide from the night search crew on the top of my cabin and look up at the stars wondering if my father was watching me.
Then one night I heard an explosion come from the boarder, or somewhere beyond. It was too quiet for anyone else to hear or to wake anyone up but I knew something was going on. I jumped off my cabin and landed nimbly before running in the direction of the explosion.
When I made it to the magical border I looked out into the distance to see a small figure being chased by a larger figure. And what's worse is that there was no help, no border patrol out tonight. I could hear screaming coming from the smaller figure as it ran so I ran out to intercept the 2 figures. When I caught them I found that it was a girl about my age being chased by a… "MINOTAUR!" I said in slight fear as I saw the creature in the moonlight. While I stared at the Minotaur the girl hid behind me.
Then it charged. A thousand pounds of muscle and horns barreling up the hill at 80 miles an hour would scare just about anyone but a pulled my bow and arrow out. As soon as I did the arrow began to glow with energy but I waited. When the Minotaur was only 10 feet away I released the string and yet again a bolt of lightning was shot out. When the lightning bolt hit the Minotaur a clap of thunder sounded and with a death scream, or in this case bellow, the creature blew up and nothing was left.
Just as before my body felt heavy and I dropped to one knee. I wasn't expecting help but I didn't think I would need it because it seemed that the more I used the bow the easier it got the use it. Then all of a sudden the girl I forgot about ran over to me.
"Are you alright?!" she asked, stunned.
"Yeah...I'm okay" I said slightly exhausted from the use of energy. Then I heard roaring and growling in the distance.
"Oh no…Hurry get to the farmhouse!" I told her, "Tell them trouble is here. I will keep them busy as long as I can." She paused for a moment.
"Go!" I told her once more and she ran as fast as she could to the farmhouse. Then I saw the creatures in the distance. It was a small army of hellhounds, the furies, and giants and they were coming in fast.
My first thought was to use my bow again but that wouldn't work. I mean I could kill 1 or 2 but then I would pass out and they would get me. So I waited, exhausted from energy use, until the creatures would get me and they weren't that far away-a hundred meters at best. With nothing else to do I shot my bow. When they saw me shoot the monsters paused for a second and one of the giants was vaporized. They paused in awe but then they were angry and began to charge again.
I was in no condition to do that again because I was on all fours trying to stay conscious so I waited. When I looked up I saw a giant with an axe raise up his weapon, and just as he began to bring it down on my neck a Fury stopped him. "No we could use this boy" she hissed to the giant, "He is a son of Zeus."
Just then, out of nowhere, a spear went flying over my head and implanted itself into the giant's chest, piercing its heart. To follow up the spear, several armored kids came running to help while others stayed back and showered their arrows onto the enemy. While 2 people carried me away the rest fought the small army with bronze weapons that I would soon know were celestial bronze.
The numbers of the bad were quickly depleting as they were killed off one by one but our side sustained some injuries as well and one loss. The enemy, having been nearly annihilated, had no choice but to retreat. And I was carried off to, yet again, the infirmary.
The next morning…
Now like before I was given memories and godly decent but it was overwhelming this time, it was just one person. I still found it weird that every time I meet a new half-blood all of their memories go into my head as well as their godly decent. As I lay in the bed I sorted through the memories of the girl and found some bad ones but even more good ones. Then a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in" I called out to the person. Then the door cracked open and a head poked inside.
"Hello" it was the girl I had saved last night and now that it wasn't just a memory or night I could get a good look at her. She seemed to be a little taller than me with the same dark hair and green eyes as Percy… maybe it was just hereditary, they were both children of Poseidon.
"Yes?" I asked her, "Did you want something" and she came all the way in.
"Yes" she said sitting down next to the bed I was in, "I wanted to ask you what's going on and I also wanted to thank you for saving me last night."
"It was nothing, as for wanting to know what's going on; I'm not the best person to ask" I told her truthfully. Having said what she wanted to and gotten an answer she turned around to leave but I stopped her.
"Wait…" I called to her as she was exiting, "I can tell you what you want to know."
She turned around and sat back down after closing the door, "So what's happening?" she asked me. I told her everything I knew. She is a half-blood, what a half-blood is, who her real father is, what the things after her were, where she is, and who to ask if she had anymore questions.
"Wow…this is just weird" she said in disbelief, "It's…impossible."
"Unfortunately it's not impossible it's all true…I never did catch your name so who are you?" I asked her because in all of the memories of hers I had looked at I never caught a name.
She smiled lightly at me and said, "My name is Silena Feracci, and you are?"
"Dustin Aeros, it's nice to meet you Silena" a raised a hand and shook hers. "Hey could you help me out of this bed?" I asked and she held onto my hand and helped me heave myself out of the bed. Then she helped me walk outside to see that all the other campers were being attacked by birds.
"What the?" Silena said wondering why millions of birds would attack for no good reason.
"We need to hurry over there" I told her so she helped me and we made our way over there as fast as possible. As soon as we got there some birds flew over to attack the 2 of us, pecking at us. Seconds later Percy and Annabeth came riding over in a chariot with a CD player in the back which spouted out such vile music it was no wonder the birds went crazy.
With the birds flying away the camp's archers could take an easy aim and shoot them down which they did. The ground was littered with dead birds that looked like metallic pigeons. But the new camp activities director, Tantalus, blamed Percy and Annabeth for the bird attack while Clarisse was given a reward. Tantalus had said that Percy's, as well as Annabeth's; "bad driving" had caused the attack. Yea…right.
