Jason

Jason had been having a pretty good day on a magical flying boat listing to the only adult on board quote what noises various animals make whilst sharpening various weapons and mourning the almost certain death of two of his closest friends. Until the goat monster appeared.

One of the downsides to being the only son of the most powerful boings in all the universe is that everyone expects you to be brave and he was (mostly) but when a creature with the head of a lion, body of a goat and a snake for a tail complete with fully functioning mouth priority's tend to fly out the window.

"Agghh" he cried and dropped the weapons.

Piper, Leo and coach Hedge ran up on deck behind him while Hazel flew over the side of the ship on the back of a dragon that swiftly turned into frank dropping Hazel none to gracefully onto the deck. The 5 demigods and a Satyr created a loose semi-circle around the creature and stared. It looked genuinely horrifying like something you would expect in a nightmare or a horror film except both its faces bore an incredibly surprised look. It eventually pulled its self together and said in a expressionless tone "agghh, that's what they all say"

"I'm sorry" said Hazel shakily "who screamed?"

"Your friend here screamed" it continued when it spoke both mouths talked at once making it sound like it had a severe hangover. "They all screamed did you know I'm the first recorded animal with a lion's head, goat's body and a snake's tail? But I didn't get any worshipers just because I'm to ugly to have followers did you know my own mother through me into tartarus all I did was wipe out a few villages completely I mean what's the harm in…"

It disintegrated into dust with a surprised snort. Coach Hedge was stood in its place with his baseball bat raised.

"Oops" he said.

Piper turned to Jason "you screamed?"

"Yeah" he shuffled his feet uncomfortably " just startled me that's all" the truth was that Jason hadn't been feeling himself lately he felt like there was something watching the ship just waiting him just waiting for him to be at his weakest…. He had made an effort to be permanently ready for well whatever it was but being surprised by that monster had made him realise just how unprepared he was.

He gulped "guess I'm just a bit on edge today."
