I'm pretty sure pigeons don't screech or make metallic noises.

Tantalus waved his hand and the starting signal dropped. The chariots roared to life. Hooves thundered against the dirt. The crowd cheered all round me.

At the beginning a chariot already went down the Apollo chariot flip over. The Hermes chariot had rammed into it—maybe by mistake, maybe not. The riders were thrown free, but their panicked horses dragged the golden chariot diagonally across the track. I have to admit this is awesome.

The Hermes team, Travis and Connor Stoll, were laughing at their good luck, but not for long. The Apollo horses crashed into theirs, and the Hermes chariot flipped too, leaving a pile of broken wood and four rearing horses in the dust. Two chariots down within the first twenty feet. Nice.

I didn't pay attention to the rest of the race, because those birds…There was more than before now. Even louder than before too. I've got to do something, but if I do, what happens? They started to fly around now, oh no. No time for thinking, I summoned two fire balls in my hands and shot in the air, taking out at least a hundred of them. "What!?" Tantalus yelled as he looked up. He looked at me with annoyance, "Now's not the time to play with your powers!" He said to me, "Oh shut it! We need to get everyone to defend themselves these aren't normal birds." I told him. After that the birds started swarming the people on the track, "Dammit Tantalus! Call the race off!" I shouted at him. He started to look panicked, "Stop the race!" He ordered, "Defend me!"

Aw man, maybe I shouldn't be the god of mortals? This guy is getting on my nerves, "Everyone, defend the camp!" I yelled. I started shooting more fireballs in the air taking out most of them, but they were still attacking everyone. I can't risk hitting anyone, I guess it's now or never, I used Kronos's power to slow down time. Everything was moving in slow motion. I picked off all the ones that were ganging up on one person at the same time. The Ares cabin couldn't care less about this mess right now, they were too busy winning. They were about ten feet from the finish line. Useless.

I got all the pigeons that were on all the people on the ground, I decided to look around some more, I flew to the sky, and there wasn't anything left. "Thank the gods…" I looked to the ground everyone was still moving slowly, "Everyone is safe." I released Kronos's power, time started up again, it was back to normal.

I slowly flew back down the camp, when I saw everyone's faces…They were afraid, most of them pale. "What!?" I shouted, "Why am I so scary! I just saved this camp! Why do you all look like that!?" Sure I'm like a god right now, but they looked like I just doomed their camp. I should leave and never come back.

"W-Wyatt," Annabeth called, "Thanks for saving our camp."

"Yeah! That was awesome!" Percy yelled as he clapped me on the back.

"Birds go BOOM!" Tyson told me. And then he gave me a bear hug, He lifted me up. Everyone's faces changed, and without realizing it, mine did too. I was happy…What a child I am.


I think this is the last chapter until tomorrow, but if I may ask, how am I doing?

Thanks for reading!
