Hey guys! I've decided to write as fast as I could so that I would try not to leave you guys any cliffhanger chapters. Hope you enjoy.

Atlantis in Chains: Chapter 4-Paint it Red

"We're almost there Percy." Tyson said, breaking the two hours worth of silence.

I wasn't surprised. If I listened closely, I could here some metal clashing. I could here water fluttering.

I couldn't here them but It felt like the mermen were shivering, not expecting that we would engage in battle after fetching me.

"Your father requests to see you first." Naeris said. He introduced himself to me a while back. Apparently he was a guard for centuries now.

"We should help our forces now Naeris." sounding as firm as I can.

"I'm simply obeying your fathers orders. You are to see him as soon as you arrived."

As Naeris replied we zoomed out of a trench and found ourselves looking right in between the front lines.

We zoomed to the left and made our way towards the city, being careful and stealthy as possible even if they were about 3 kilometers away.

I saw mermen being hacked and stabbed by other mermen. Octopuses, sharks and squids clashing and bashing against each other.

I thought twice shook my head and ditched our escort. Tyson noticed and called out for me. I ignored him and willed the water to propel me into the fight. I couldn't stand watching people(or creatures) die for our battles.

I could feel the water grow thick. The water around me didn't respond as much. It was the blood all around mixing with the water.

I was just a few meters away from the front lines. I found myself wondering which side was I on. I remembered the mermen guards wore gold armor. It was Glod against silver.

I quickly engaged the first creature I could see wearing silver armor.

I froze at first, then I mustered my courage and propelled my self towards the raging shark.

At the last second, the shark turned left and jerked right back at me, giving itself momentum to bash against my chest. Luckily I saw this before it happended and zoomed up to try and stab the shark at its head.

The beast but my foot just before I was right on top of him. Lucky for me I immediately stabbed its eye for it to loosen its grip on me.

Both of us grunted and bellowed in pain as we tried to retreat.

Instead of charging again, I unsheathed my homing dagger. Pointed it towards the great white and threw. Just before the shark dodged, the dagger struck at its nose and the shark bellowed once more.

It sank to the sea floor and payed there. I knew it was still alive even if it didn't seem to move.

I willed the water to push me down right next to the shark. I pulled the dagger out of its nose and raise it, poised for the kill.

"How did it come to this..." I used both hands and stabbed it somewhere beside its eye.

I could see Tyson in the distance, fending of a squid while dodging arrows fired from a sea chariot

"Arrows underwater?" I quickly shrugged of the thought and let the water push me towards him.

"Tyson! Hold on I'm coming!" I panicked as I could see that he was being overwhelmed.

Right when I was going to shunt the archer of the chariot, I heard in the distance.

"RETREAT! RETREAT!" Then I heard the sound of horns, loud enough to hurt my ears.

All the silver armored creatures fell back and away from the city.

Just when the gold cloaked mermen started to cheer I heard another loud sound in the distance. BOOM.

I saw the blood and sand swelling towards me. I felt the full force of the blast.

I was pushed away from the gold forces and Tyson. I heard more booms.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

I could see the gold creatures scrambling to safety and back to the city, where silver forces were already waiting.

"We've been surronded! To the death!" A leader shouted.

I saw the last of the gold forces charging at the flanking enemy. I was too weak to move. I lost so much blood that even the water couldn't heal it fully.

I felt my hand let go of Riptide. My head aching and throbbing. I spent the last of my strength to remove my helmet. I saw more, but felt less.

My eyes slowly closed. The I felt cold hands pulling me to the surface
