Hi there..
So, it is hard to write a long chapters…hooo
Well here is chapter 4….
Hope you enjoy it.
Reyna
Reyna was sure she was going to die now. But at least she was going to die in battle, very heroic she thought. Even with those explosives, monsters kept reforming. The gigantes is getting close now. Just this once please let him trip, Reyna wished as she looked up at the giants face.
She killed every monster she came in contact to, those snake ladies are really pissing her off, they were wearing bikinis like a swimsuit model, though it did not really match with their scaly skin and fire red eyes. The hyperborean giants was even bigger problems, even with the help of the dragon automatons blowing fire at them, they kept reforming and throwing snowballs at them.
It was been the third attack at their camp since the last two weeks. They barely even survive the last attack. They were only save because Polybotes started crying and shouting "Brother!". Such a crybaby.
It became clear to her; they could not defeat their enemy. It would take a miracle for them to survive this, which gods don't really much give. And Lupa was hiding, like a scared cat trying to save her own hide.
No, they do not need to defeat them; they just have to buy sometime for the underage and wounded to escape. She instructed his second in command, Hazel, to make an save everybody she can save though air with the remaining automatons.
Percy is so lucky, she thought. When she saw him before the battle, he look like he wants to help, but what could an amateur with amnesia could do. Even the sons and daughters of Trivia helped, they stayed invincible then waited for the right time to light the fuse, though they only make the monster angrier.
It was like the siege on Mount Othys all over again. But now they were the one being attack. And Jason was with them the whole time, he look so awesome when he defeated Krios, He was stand on Krio's body his clothes was splattered with ichor, the blood of the immortal, and raising his hands with his lace. We all celebrated and raise him in our shoulders when the war was finished. We won and it was all thanks to Jason. But he is not here right now and no one could match his leadership and strength. But something was always bothering Reyna after the war, why was Krios the only one there, except of Atlas who was bellowing in pain under the weight of the sky, and why do the monsters there looked like they were already finished in battle, some of them have silver arrows in their shields and others have torn and burned armors.
Seems that her questions will not be answered, this is the end of the line for her. She wished she could see Jason one last time. She looked to the sky, hoping he would show up to save the day, instead she was a single Pegasus diving on the direction where Polybotes is fighting the last of the automaton dragon. She could not see who rode it but the she recognize the Pegasus, she saw a badage on the left leg, "Willie?". She has no idea who was foolish enough to take on a gigantes.
The rider is a boy with black hair and a bronze sword. Wait …bronze sword? She did not saw anyone here with bronze sword. They were all using imperial gold. Who is this boy?
The Pegasus was so close to Polybotes head when the rider jumps. No way, he WAS aiming of Polybotes. Reyna was shocked and stunned to her feat. A hellhound charged at her, her reflexes jolted her and she dodge the attack and slice its head. She ran for the nearest son of Vulcan she can find. She found Charsi ,one of the best automaton maker on the camp, fighting a golem. Reyna jump on the golem's neck and trust her sword in its neck, the golem crumbled to like a terrorized termite hill. "Do you have any griffin felt?" she asked Charsi. "There is one, but it is busy right now" Charsi answered checking on a small circular radar. "Call it, I need a ride." Reyna commanded. "Sure" Charsi pressed some buttons on the radar then a robotic winged lion with the head on an eagle flew and landed in front of them.
The griffin was never meant for riding, all of the automatons are. It is safer to use pegasi because they do not crash or shutdown in the middle of a flight. But this is not the time to be picky. Reyna rode the griffin on the neck, its gold feathers were cutting though her jeans, and she could feel warm blood oozing in her legs. She made an assumption that if ever she survives this will not ride an automaton ever again.
They flew with such speed the air was piercing his face. She could see the boy climbing on Polybotes head, sword at the ready. Polybotes wigged his head to shake off the boy. Reyna was afraid he would fall so she drove the griffin like a race car. Idiot, what is he trying to do? She thought. The boy was on the top head now, but giant shook him so violently he loses balance. Lucky he grabs hold of giant's eyelid, then without any hesitation, he stabled it big eye. Golden blood pours down of the giant's eye. Polybotes screamed in pain and put both of his hand on his eye leaving his club crashing his minions. The boy jump to avoid being crushed by those hands. Reyna catches him just in time, she caught his hand and pulled him to the griffin. The boy was covered in ichor, she could not recognize who it was.
The boy sat behind Reyna spiting ichor on his mouth, "That was fun" he manage to say then collapsed on Reyna's back. She looks back at the giant. He was shrinking, his body crumbled until it was only at least fifteen feet tall. He bellowed in pain, sending in fissure as he did.
Polybotes ordered his forces to retreat. Shouting curses at the air. He looked ridiculous in his new form, a fifteen feet tall slim humanoid with towering horns. He was still holding his eye. A hyperborean giant carried him and retreated.
Reyna landed on the ground. She could not believe they won. She took the boy in the shoulders the shouted for some medic.
One act of bravery or craziness saved them. This is the miracle she was wishing for.
An Apollo kid approaches them with bandages. So does the other campers who were not severely injured. They all stared at her in amazement. "That was amazing Reyna, you took down Polybotes."Stadler said eyes wide open. "It was not me, he defeated the giant "she gestured to the boy who was being treated. "Who is he anyway." He asked. Reyna wiped the ichor on the boys face. "Percy…" she said in amazement. The Apollo kid raises his head, "Strange does not have a single scratch on him." "What?"Reyna searched Percy's body; it is true he does not have even a tiny scratch.
"You want to tell me this guy saved us, he defeated a giant?" said Stadler stubbornly. "Yes he did"Reyna stared at Percy. Lying there he was almost like a child, sleeping with a smile.
Then he stated coughing, blood and what is this sand? erupted from his mouth. He winced in pain but he appears to be still unconscious. "What is going on, I thought you say he was okay?"she addressed to the Apollo kid almost breaking in tears. "Internal bleeding, let's take him to the infirmary" the Apollo kid magically assembled a stretcher and carried Percy, who was still screaming in pain, to the medical facility. Even Stadler helped carry Percy. Reyna is by his side with his teary eyes, "No, don't die" she begged. They put him on one of the bed and some Apollo kids stated preparing surgical equipment. "I is too late to use healing magic now, internal bleeding is hard to heal because we must know where it is located" explained by the Apollo kid to Reyna. They cut his t-shirt and prepared for an operation. "What in the gods name?" the Apollo kid took a step back then took another surgical knife, he pushed to knife to Percy's belly then it broke like a ceramic.
