The Son of Sobek

Carter

I can see the giants from here, and they're holding Annabeth and Percy. We burst into the circle screaming, "For Egypt!"I called on Horus and summoned my combat avatar, slicing through the giant holding Percy. The guy was so surprised her just dropped Percy and turned into a pile of sand and expensive rocks. All around me I heard the sounds of battle, and above I saw the shadow cast by the Argo 2, her ballista

destroying large amounts of the monsters surrounding me. My focus returned abruptly to the battle when a giant's sword cut through my armor, leaving a slice across my chest. I suddenly could tell my combat avatar was too slow and unwieldy for this battle. I dropped it went to hand to hand, cutting huge chunks out of the enemy with my flail. Sadie had summoned a giant kite, {the bird-of-pray} and was defending herself. For the longest moment, we were winning. It looked like we might win. Then the giants recovered from their shock. The giants attacked back brutally. Monsters threw huge rocks at the Argo 2. Leo tried, but couldn't intercept them all, and his mighty ship began slowly falling from above. The giants had cornered us. Things looked grim. Zia shot a column of fire at a giant, leaving her back exposed. The super old giant saw his chance and was about to kill her. I knew there was no way for me to reach her in time to save her. I knew, in that awful moment of clarity, that she was going to die. Then, the sky opened up. Literally, it rolled back and through came 12 figures I could just barely recognize as the gods of Greece.
