I was running like never before. The Drakon was flying right behind me, intent on getting his meal: me. As I ran deeper in the forest, I wondered if this monster was going to be the death of me. But if it was, then it would have been my own fault.
Flashback
I ran out of camp, with one idea in mind. Get as far away from Half-blood hill as possible. I stopped as I came to the beach. I smelt the sea, now a few days ago this would have revitalized me, but since my dad disowned me I no longer felt any connection to the sea. I could still hear his voice telling me I was a coward. Anyway, I continued walking. I was heading for the Canadian Mountains. I'd be safe from that accursed camp there. Anyway I kept on going, never stopping to look back. I wondered if I could still breathe underwater. So stripping I headed in. It was cold and I got wet, meaning my gifts were gone, I wasn't supposed to be able to get wet without wanting to be wet. I dived in and anyway. I heard screams and shouts, but I ignored them. Until I heard the roar.
Immediately I knew I was in trouble, I just didn't how much yet. I looked back and saw a Lithian Drakon, the same that had killed Silena a few years ago. I scrambled out of the sea.
"Shit", I swore as I hastily put my clothes on.
Then I turned and ran towards the forest.
Flashback end.

A plan formed in my mind. Clarisse had killed that beast by putting a spear in its eye. If I could get a high enough vantage point, enough time, and then I had a chance. But I had to time this just right. I looked back, it was closing, fast. On my left stood a little cliff in the distance, I ran towards it just as the Drakon skidded to a halt behind me. This thing was like the Minotaur, it wasn't good this with turns. But in this situation this didn't help me much.
Finally I got to the cliff; I climbed it while uncapping Riptide. The Drakon chose this moment to barrel in the clearing. I got ready, prayed to some god that I wasn't going to die. Then I jumped, and sank my sword in it's eye. It roared in pain and crumbled to dust.
"Ingenious", a voice said behind me.
Whipping around sword at the ready, I then saw one of the most beautiful women I ever saw.
"Who are you?" I asked bluntly.
"I am Hecate, Goddess of Magic, she answered smiling, and since your father disowned you, I am offering you to be my Champion. Do you accept?"
"I, would be honoured to be your Champion milady."
"Then repeat after me! I accept my powers, my destiny; I leave behind my pains and my past, and accept to be Lady Hestia's Champion." She said dramatically.
I" accept my powers, my destiny; I leave behind my pain and my past, and accept to be Lady Hestia's Champion." I repeated.
I suddenly felt a rush of power in my body and passed out.
