hey guys, like I said, I'm trying to catch up with the days I missed. Blah blah blah, enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HoO, only Traedon, Zach, Kayla, Ryan, And Jacob. (BTW I made up the story of Traedon uprising against the Titans, it never really happened in Greek mythology).

Ryan

A twelve year old kid named Julian was attacked by the man-eating ravens, the eighth attack in one weak. This was getting old. We rushed him over to the infirmary where I used my healing powers with water. I found out two days ago that I could use water to heal people, I would control some freshwater, press it against someones wound. The water would glow florescent blue and the wound would start healing at a much more excelerated rate. I found this out when I was at the canoe lake and I scraped my knee on a nail sticking out of the inside of the boat. I controlled some water and pressed it to the scrape on my knee, then the water started glowing and all of the sudden the scrape disappeared. So now my job is to heal people at the infirmary when they get hurt, oh and I forgot to mention that it absolutely sucks. I was tempted to drown a few people because they wouldn't shut up, they kept on moaning and groaning so much that it was driving me insane. The only good part about it was that Percy was in a way better mood now that Annabeth was out, and he treated me like I had just saved the world, (Which for him I probably did).

Anyways right now I'm stuck healing this kid that had tried to sneak out of camp and had gotten almost completely eaten alive by those ravens. But the thing I hated most at the moment was those wretched monsters, because they were making my life completely miserable. Now I understand why Percy wanted to go slice all of those things into monster dust yelling something like, "Banzai!" or, "Geronimo!" because I wanted to go do the same thing. The only difference was that I was going to do it for real.

After I finished healing Julian I went about my normal business. I went to sword practice, which I horribly failed at. Then I practiced trident on sword against Percy, and we were even matched. my trident was slower but was really effective at defense, while Percy was faster but couldn't defend right against my trident. By the time we both gave up we were both dripping with sweat. Percy headed back towards our cabin. I decided to go talk to my brother.

I found Jacob exactly where I thought he would be, at the target range. he wasn't shooting arrows like the Apollo kids would, instead he was practice with his throwing knives. I leaned against a tree watching him, he was dripping with sweat. He had five throwing knives in one hand and five in the other, he threw left, right, left, right over and over again at two seperate practice dummies. In less than ten seconds he had thrown every single one of them, each at its own crippling or killing spot. "Hate to be one of them two." I say.

He spun around with another knife in his hand. Oh shoot, was all I could think. I was going to end up like one of them two. "Oh, It's just you." he said.

"You scared me to death, I thought that you were going to put that knife through something important." I say.

"You? Never. Your my brother." he says.

"Hey, it was scary seeing you spin around with a throwing knife in your hands after what you had just finished doing to those things." I gesture over to the dummies that were fifty feet away.

"Okay, so why did you come all the way over here?" he asked.

"I just thought I was going to come talk to my brother, if that's okay with you?" I ask him. He just nods. I continue, "Do you remember those ravens that attacked us before we got here?"

"Yeah. Those things are really making nuisance's of themselves, aren't they?" he says, "So why are you suddenly interested in..." he stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

He replies, "Y-you are going to try to kill them."

"Yeah," I confess,"but I need your help, I don't think I can do this alone." I continue, "Those things are keeping me in the infirmiry 24/7 and I hate it!"

He thought for a second then said, "Alright I'll help you, but I need you to wait for me. Those things are too dangerous to take on alone."

"Okay, I was going to tell you the same thing." I say, "See you later bro." then I turned around and went back to my cabin. I thought I heard him mutter, "Don't call me bro." under his breath.

When I got to my cabin I caught Percy and Annabeth making out in the middle of the room. I tried to ignore it and let them have their fun. Then Annabeth noticed me and pulled away quickly.

"Annabeth, why did you... Oh." Both of their cheeks flushed red, and I laughed.

"You guys have your fun, just keep your clothes on." I say. They blushed even more and grabbed hands.

"Hey, Ryan I never said thanks for healing me. That was really nice of you..." I looked into her beautiful grey stormy eyes and saw that it was sincere.

"It's okay, it really was nothing." I say.

"No, Thank you. You saved my life." She said. I just nod.

"Yeah, and Ryan?" He said, "I'm sorry for not talking much. It's just that I was worried about Annabeth..." He trailed off. Then he took Annabeth in his arms and they stood there, looking into each others eyes. They stood that way for a long time.

I watch for a minute and then I smile. I hoped they always are going to be like that, well not like that holding each other but... oh you know what I mean. I walk over to my bunk and grab my hiking backpack, it's dark blue, like the ocean at night. I walk out of the cabin and I can't help looking back at Percy and Annabeth. They look perfect together.

I meet Jacob back at his cabin, he's gathering his throwing knives and some extra longer knives that are meant for close combat. He turns around and sees me, "Hey." he said, "What's up?"

"I just wanted to talk about where and when will we meet." I say.

"Okay, well I think that we will have to meet after dinner before the fire, if that's good with you?" he asked.

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I think that's a good idea, but where?"

"Hmmm... tough one, we need to go somewhere that no one would find us. How about the beach?" He said.

I thought for a second then said, "I guess that would work, but how would we get there without anyone seeing us?" I was the one asking all of the questions, it felt kind of wierd since I was also the one leading.

"Something that Nico taught me, it's called Shadow Traveling." Shadow Traveling? I have never heard of that before.

"What's Shadow Traveling?" I ask.

He thought for a second, "It's hard to explain, but it's a kind of travel that beings of the Underworld can use through shadows."

I cock my head at him, "English please?"

"It's just a way to travel."

"Can you show me how?"

"No. I can't." he said.

"Why not? I mean you kind of have too." I say.

"I can't or better yet, you can't." he said.

"But why?"

"Only things from Hades can. It's just a power that sons and daughters of Hades have." He said.

"Oh... sorry." I say.

"It's alright. Now back to the topic," He said, "I can Shadow Travel both of us to the beach and we can start searching for those ravens from there."

It seemed like a good plan to me so I nodded, said "Thanks." And walked back toward my cabin.

I woke up to the sound of a conch horn ringing across the valley. I guess I must have been taking a little catnap. I looked around and noticed that I was in my bunk. I checked my drawer for my Swiss army knife, clipped it on and walked to the dining pavilion.

The food was good, as always, and it was healthy so it was really great altogether. I looked up and met eyes with Jacob just for a split second and I looked down. When we were finished with dinner everyone got up and started going towards the camp fire. I hung at the back of the group waiting for Jacob. Then he suddenly appeared out of the crowd and we silently fell farther and farther away from the mass of campers. Then he asked me, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." I say.

"No you're not." Before I could respond he put a hand on my shoulder and we dove into darkness.

Whoa. Shadow Traveling was like those roller coaster rides that take you through tunnels. Only you felt like you were going to die at any moment. I loved it. Before long we were at the beach and I looked at Jacob, grinning, and said, "That was so cool!"

He grinned back and said, "I thought you'd like it."

"Like it? I loved it!" I told him.

"I'm glad that you think so." He said. I just grinned at him. Then we started walking down the beach, looking for the evil ravens.

After about twenty minutes of silence Jacob looked at me and said, "So how are we going to kill these things."

Uh-oh... I never thought of that, so I said, "Ummm... could we soak there wings and then kill them while they are on the ground?"

Jacob responded, "No. That wouldn't work because they would probably just dodge the water, and if they did get wet they'd just shake the water off." I curse myself for diving headfirst into this without a plan.

"I'll think of something." I say. Then we kept on walking.

After about ten minutes I see a dark figure figure in the distance and it starts to grow, "Jacob." I say pointing over to the ravens.

He looks at me fearfully and says, "Got a plan?" He asked.

"No. Just stay in the water and slice as many as you can into pieces." I say. He just nods. We wade into the water and wait for the bad birdies to get here.

When the birds are about one hundred feet off I imagine water cannons and giant hoses spraying at the enemy. The ravens bob and weave but they can't save all of them. Then ten giant shadow eagles race off towards the enemy, they engage in combat and take out a few but a lot still reach us. I use my water powers to cut them down and soak their wings but it's no use. They attack us in the hundreds. I glance over at Jacob and see that a bunch of ravens are trying to lift him out of the water and into the air. He starts struggling and kicking at the birds but he keeps on ascending, "HELP!" I hear him yell. I get angry, really angry. Nobody messes with any of my brothers, nobody. I feel my blood turn to ice, the air around me starts to get colder. Suddenly thousands of ice shards rise out of the water. I look around me and see that Jacob is rising even higher into the air. Then the ice shards race towards the ravens, impaling them and turning them into dust. Soon every single one of them is dead.

I run over to my brother, pulling out my healing water as I go. I pull him onto the beach. He's unconcious and bleeding really bad. I dump the water all over him and imagine his wounds healing. The water starts glowing florescent blue and his wounds heal. Then he starts caughing and spitting saltwater out, and he looks at me, "Did you kill them?" A flashback plays in my head, when he asked me if I had killed the giant scorpion.

"Yeah. I killed them, every last one of them." I say.

"How?" He says.

"I'll explain later." I say. He nods and gets up.

"let's get back to camp." He says. He puts a hand on my shoulder and we dive into the shadows.

Zach

Kayla explained her plan to me, it was briliant. We waited untill the jailor came, talking quietly.

"Do you think my plan will work?" She asked me.

"Heck yeah! It's the most briliant plan I've ever heard of." I said. She blushed.

She says, "It's just that I'm worried about what might happen if it fails..."

I cut her off, "It won't fail." I say. she nodds.

"Thanks." She said.

I hear the ringing of keys, and footsteps from down the hall.

She looks at me with fear in her eyes, "Here we go." I say.

sorry for the shortness of Zach's POV I'm going to finish his POV tomorrow if possible but here it is. Thanks for reading!
