Chapter 11

Percy POV

When I saw the Titan holding his sword to my cousins throat I seemed to lose the ability to think. My body just went on autopilot, Thalia was one of the last people I had left and I wasn't going to lose her.

Before I realized it I was charging into the clearing, my arm ablaze and holding riptide. I had no idea who this Titan was only that he wasn't anyone I had fought before.

"Hey, get the fuck away from my cousin!" I shouted at my cousin's captor. I level riptide into a ready position as all the monsters in the clearing swiftly turned to me.

"Well well well, who do we have here?" The Titan said while lazily turning round to face me. The Titan had a badly scarred face including one that went from his hairline to his chin. "If it isn't the little Percy Jackson, the savior of Olympus."

It had been a while since I had fought a Titan and I could feel the power rolling of the ancient being standing before me, it was surprising how different the powers of a giant and titan feel.

"While I'd love to slaughter you the boss wants you brought to him. So I'll make you a deal," The Titan said to me, I was sure that his 'boss' was Tartarus. "You surrender to me and I'll let your little cousin go. What do you say?"

I was trying to see if I could fight may way through this, from the sound of it they didn't know Artemis was near by. I could see Thalia shaking her head at the offer however I couldn't think of another way to get through this with her alive. I refuse to let Thalia die and I don't think I could fight an unknown Titan and small army of monsters even with an Olympian goddess on my side.

Perseus don't you dare accept his offer. I jumped as I heard Artemis' voice inside my head. Thalia and your parents would never forgive you. Because you rushed in there so foolishly we'll have to fight. I will have to wait to reveal myself or he'll just use the hunt as hostages.

"Well?" The unknown immortal asked me again and I realized I had zoned out.

"Like I said before. Fuck Off!" I said dropping into a fighting stance. The monsters all readied their weapons at me.

"Very well it looks like I get to take you by force," the Titan said happily. "All of you stand down, he's mine." He shouted to his troops.

My thoughts were racing, most of them were thinking what Annabeth would say if you ran into a fight with an unknown immortal, sadly I knew exactly what she'd say from past experiences. I realized that I needed more information on my foe.

"Before we fight," I say to the immortal before me who was standing at tall 10 feet, not the biggest I've fought but still awkward. "Who the fuck are you?"

The Titan laughed at my blunt question.

"I suppose you won't recognize me as I didn't fight directly in the past two wars. I am Pallas, Titan of warcraft."

As he spoke a typical spartan helmet with a blood red plume appeared on his head. He also armed himself with a shield, it was made out of bronze and on the face it depicted a number of gruesome deaths.

Great, I thought to myself, so this guy is like Ares but on steroids, well Ares probably is on steroids but that's not the point.

Without warning Pallas charged at me. He swung with an overhead strike witch I met with riptide. We went back and forth for a minute, Pallas was on the offensive for the most part while I struggled to defend myself. One thing was for sure, Pallas was one of the most talented swordsmen I had ever fought.

After a minute I managed to push Pallas back enough to catch my breath for a second.

"Well, to be honest I'm slightly disappointed in the skills of the great Percy Jackson. I would have thought that the demigod who had managed to defeat both my uncle and my grandmother would be a bit more impressive." Pallas goaded me.

"Yeah, that's my main aim, to impress some dusty old Titan." I retort back. I see the campfire behind Pallas I an idea hatches in my head.

I reengaged the fight between me and the immortal, this time I was on the offensive. I tried to subtly turn us while we fought, after a series of blows I was now standing with my back to the campfire. I pulled back from the titan, neither of us had managed to land a substantial blow on the other, I knew however that I would tire before him and then he would have the advantage.

"Again you are making me wonder how you managed to defeat so many of my relatives if this is the most you can offer." Pallas taunted.

"Well I've got a little surprise for both of us," I say hoping to the gods, mainly my mom that my plan would work.

"Well surprise me then little demi-god."

I step back into the fire and hoped that it would have a similar effect as when I'm in the sea. I felt a warmth and a strange sense of familiarity wash over me. I felt my plan work, I had a renewed strength flow through me and my senses felt like they were on another level.

When I'm in the sea I feel a connection to the water and all its inhabitants, I feel the raw power that it holds. Standing in the flames of the campfire had a similar effect. I could feel the power of the fire, its ability to bring both destruction and aid. I felt the hope of the hunt, I realized that this was because this was the Hunt's hearth, wherever this fire burnt the Hunt felt at home.

The lack of hope I felt from the Hunt was worrying, it could tell it was subtly increasing though, probably due to Artemis and Thalia watching as they were the only two members conscious.

"So what is this surprise of yours then? It is that your fathers powers protect you from fire because that will not help you against me." Pallas said, obviously confused as to why I jumped into the campfire.

Again I let my instincts take over and I walked out of the flames feeling renewed. As I walked out the flames followed me, and I realized that I had managed to set my whole body ablaze. I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay like this for long so I had to end the fight as soon as I could.

"Nah this is my surprise," I said before launching myself furiously at my enemy. The flames from my arm slowly started to creep up riptide forcing Pallas to be extra careful.

"Well, it's certainly a strange trick for a son of Poseidon," Pallas said blocking an overhead strike from my flaming sword.

I pull back from him before launching another flurry of attacks, this time I managed to catch the inside of his shield arm both cutting and burning the flesh forcing him to drop his shield.

"Ahh you little…" he started before I cut him off my sending a jab to his chest. He managed to block the attack and took a couple steps backwards. I was about to push forwards again but Pallas just started to clap.

"Well that's more like it." He said, sounding slightly impressed. "As fun as this little fight is, the boss really wants you in his grasp as soon as possible. So I'm going to end this." He looked around at his troops. "Go ahead, just make sure he's still alive."

The group of monsters that had been standing around watching our fight drew their weapons and started to advance on me. I knew I wouldn't be able to fight the monsters and Pallas but there was no way I'd go without a fight. Just as the first cyclopes reached me a silver arrow pierced through its skull turning the monster to dust.

Everyone in the clearing stopped confused as to what happened, as all the Hunters were unconscious or restrained. It was then I saw a flash of silver in the trees and remembered Artemis, as I looked deeper into the forest I could have sworn I saw a second silver clad figure.

"Oh yeah, there's another surprise I have for you," I said to Pallas who was still confused as to what had happened. "Her names Artemis, you might have heard of her." I finish off with a grin.

I charged forwards towards Pallas attempting to catch him off guard but I was intercepted by a couple dracaena. Soon I found myself fighting through the army in a tornado of flames, quite literally, I had summoned a storm and the flames expelling off me were getting caught in the wind. Every time a sword, spear or claw was going to catch me off guard an arrow from the woods soon took care of my attacker.

Soon I found myself surrounded by a layer of golden dust with only a couple hell hounds growling at me. I looked around for Pallas but he was nowhere in sight. He must have disappeared while I fought his troops.

I was just advancing on the pair of hounds but two arrows found themselves imbedded in them before I got there.

I turned around and was suddenly knocked down by an impact and a mass of blonde hair covered my vision. I hit the floor with a rather unflattering grunt and looked up to see Chloe with tears in her eyes as well as a rather emotional Thalia.

"Thank you," Chloe kept saying into my shoulder as she hugged me tightly. Thalia managed to pry the daughter of Apollo of me and offered me a hand to help me stand.

Once I was back on my feet I was met with a hard slap to the face.

"Ow! What the Hades was that for!"

"For rushing in so stupidly." Thalia said as if it were obvious. She then pulled me into a hug. "And this is for saving us."

After Thalia let me go I was suddenly overcome by a wave of nausea. I grabbed onto her shoulder and tried not to throw up.

"Perce, what's wrong?" she asked me.

"Nothing I'm fine," I said before promptly collapsing to the floor and blacking out.
