Percy
He and Annabeth boarded the Argo II together. They kept their distance, both slighty embarrassed about the events that had happened just before. He looked toward Camp Half Blood. People were milling about with their faces set confidently and determinedly, even though they hadn't even recovered from the last war. Percy knew that he might not come back alive. And if he did come back alive, it could be years before that happened. He was used to all the shouting,
the training, and the smell of sweat that came from everyone as they trained their hardest. Yet if the war was to be fought away from their camp, he was scarcely ever going to see it for the next few weeks? months? years?
"Hey," Leo said. He had walked up beside Percy without him realizing.
"Hey to you too," Percy replied.
"Chiron told me to tell you that the alpha. . . you know what an alpha is, right?" After Percy nodded, he said, " Yeah, so the alpha, the biggest one probably,
is female, and she can control the minds of men. Covering your ears won't work, like with sirens. It penetrates through somehow,and-"
"So basically it's charmspeak that controls men and you can't block her voice, got it," Percy said, exasperated. "Did you really have to take, like, five sentences to say that?"
"I-uh-erm-um. . ." Leo stammered.
"Dude, I was joking! Lighten up!"
Leo flushed and quickly walked to the helm of the Argo.
Suddenly, Percy realized something. The Argo II was a dragon, too.
He jogged to where Annabeth was talking to Piper. "Annabeth, can I ask you something?"
"You just did, Seaweed Brain," she replied with a smirk.
Percy rolled his eyes and continued. "Does Festus (the dragon head at the front of the ship/plane if you didn't know already) get affected by the other dragons?"
"Probably not. I mean, he's a robot, after all.
"And also, do you think that the water dragons can, like, fry Festus? Cause, you know, he's made out of wires and stuff?"
Annabeth sighed and said, "Your head is too full of seaweed sometimes, Percy. He's a freaking ship. . . that sails on water. . . do you see him frying or exploding?"
"Oh," was all Percy said.
Then the warship took off into the sky, his/its (I don't know what to put) engines roaring.

Annabeth
The gigantic warship had been flying for almost fifteen hours and it was time for a break. The view from their resting stop was breathtaking. There were light green rolling hills that cast shadows over a sparkling river. The river itself was dominated by many groups of hippocampi and they jumped out of the water and fell back in like dolphins. In the distance, a range of mountains caught her eye. There were little red things on top, and they were getting bigger.
And bigger. And bigger. (trolololol.) Now smoke was coming out of the the mountain.
Annabeth almost facepalmed when the explosion came. It was a volcano. Fortunately, they were at least twenty miles away and didn't feel a thing.
"Hey, Annabeth, you gonna join us or what?" asked Jason.
"Join you in what?" she replied without turning.
"Eating," said Piper.
"Yeah OK," she said, making her way to the dining room.
As she scanned the room, she (obviously) noticed that Percy wasn't present. And he liked to eat, no matter what food it was. ( if you're really dirty you should get that joke.) She turned to Leo. "Where's Percy?" she asked mildly worried.
"Well, he said he wanted to go for a swim-"
"WHAT? THAT'S LIKE A FOUR THOUSAND FOOT DROP FROM HERE! ARE YOU CRAZY?"
"Yes to the last question, and please, woman, calm down! Jason flew him down," Leo replied.
Annabeth huffed a sigh of relief as she heard this. However, right when she sat down, something flopped onto the deck.
All of them went onto the deck, weapons out. Jason was all for "fighting first, questions later," so he shot a lightning bolt right at the dark figure right when he saw it. This scared Leo into throwing a fireball at the figure as well. Then the thing fell down, obviously struggling to get back up. Then, Piper use her charmspeak and said "Come here."
The figure fought the command.
"Come here!" Piper commanded with more charmspeak.
The thing fell onto his knees fighting the charmspeak. In doing so, it fell unconscious.
Annabeth ran to the figure. It was the unmoving body of Percy.

OK, since I'm new, you can't blame me later if the plot was horrible. I just like dragons so... There will be like 9000000 chapters cause why not.
And also cause I wanna have the longest story ever. Unlike when you actually think a fanfic is pretty good and then they kill off, like, Annabeth,
or Ginny, or Four, or whoever. Like it, hate it, hate my horrible grammar, I don't give a damn. At least its more than 400 words. I think.
