After I wrote chapter 11 I was itching to start writing another chapter. Normally I write a Siren Song chapter, then a Paint it Black chapter then a The Last of the Grey chapter but this time I skipped the others and went straight into writing this! SO…yeah.

Also: thinking of getting a Beta.

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. But I totally claim The Lost City of Atlantis as my own creation (too bad it got sunk).

Please read, review and enjoy.

Ch. 12 Ugh…just ugh

I was flying. And it was really cool. I looked over my shoulder and saw large white wings sprouting from my shoulder blades. Okay I knew I was dreaming but it was too cool to give up on at the moment. It was just me and the sky. But suddenly I wasn't alone dad was with me too, in his chariot/car. As I looked at him I realized he wasn't a dream. He beckoned me over to him. I flew over next to the sun, thanks gods this was a dream (because I would have been burnt to a crisp).

"Hey kiddo." Dad smiled and it was so fatherly and proud I couldn't help but feel happy.

"What do you want?" I said all no nonsense like.

"I want you to give me another chance. I am your father Armony and I do love you." I looked into his eyes, so much like mine, and saw only sincerity. I wanted to give him a chance, I wanted a dad. The dreams I had as a little girl suddenly appeared in my mind again. I saw myself with my dad dancing at my quincenera. I saw him holding a birthday cake waiting for me to blow out the candles. I saw myself playing my violin on stage and as I finished I saw him and mom smiling at me with pride. But there was so much that we had already missed out on. But future hopes flowed and flickered like a warm flame inside of me. I saw dad watching me with mom as I sang on stage. Him walking me down the aisle dancing at my wedding. I saw Him holding his grandchild; my child. I wanted that. I wanted a real family. But could really have it?

"I-I don't know." I said answering myself more than him.

"Armony did you ever wonder why you have freckles when you are so tan?" Okay that was out of nowhere.

"Yeah." I answered attentively. Seriously where was he going with this?

"Had you ever heard that freckles were kisses from the sun?"

"Well yeah that the corny way for parents to help freckled kids get over having freckles. My mom used to…tell…me…that." I looked at my dad and he was smiling like a teenager, who had just been given their first iPod. "Oh my gods for real?" He smiled again and nodded. Okay totally cheesy but he's my dad, and it made me feel happy. "Fine, we'll try the father daughter thing." I said with more hope than I had meant to give.

"Forgiving and smart

My daughter is my pride and joy

Happy together"

Dad recited another horrible haiku. "Dad," I felt myself smile as I said the word. He smiled too. "There is one thing you need to know about haikus besides that they are horrible." I recited one of my own.

"Haikus are poems

Sometimes they do not make sense

Refrigerator"

/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\

I woke up feeling better than I had in a while. Though things with my dad weren't exactly fixed, there was room for a future. It made me feel all warm inside like kittens were growing in my stomach. I got up and went through the morning ritual of a shower. I really woke up early cause the sun wasn't even out yet. I started to ponder what to do with my free time but I was interrupted by footsteps; someone was running. I turned to see a hooded figure coming out of the forest quickly. I screamed.

"Armony! Calm down it's just me, Lucky." He pulled the hood on his sweatshirt down to expose his golden hair.

"Lucky you totally scared the living daylight's out of me." I tried to calm my erratically beating heart. "What are you doing out here?"

"Well my mom is goddess of the dawn waking up at dawn is just something I do." Lucky explained, sorta.

"I guess that is why you would be up but I asked why you were out here." I looked into his sunrise painted eyes.

"Oh," He smiled sheepishly. "I was just jogging." I narrowed my eyes; I was not convinced. I guess that whole Apollo is god of truth thing was kicking in.

"Uh-huh."

"By the way I wanted to thank you for healing me yesterday." That caught me by surprise.

"O-oh, you're welcome." I could feel myself blush as I thought of how his skin had felt against mine. Then my face got hotter when I thought about how I had fainted after I healed him.

"I gotta say I'm really impressed with your healing. I've gotten hurt tons of times before and Will and Kayla have healed me before but it never felt anything like that." His eyes bore into mine I smiled but looked down at the ground.

"Thanks." I moved my focus to Lucky but he was looking at the sky. "Lucky what are you looking at?" I looked back toward the brightening sky; rays of light could be seen toward the horizon.

"My mom." He answered. I had no idea what he meant. But as I looked at the sunrise I couldn't help but notice that it mirrored the color of his eyes perfectly that's when it hit me. Lucky's mom was the dawn, or at least the personification of it. He pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them. He smiled at me again. And pulled out another pair and handed them to me. "This way I can watch the sunrise without going blind. My mom gave me an extra pair encase I lost one." I put them on and looked to the rising sun. It was actually kind of strange, in a good way.

Hemera was beautiful. She had the same eyes and blonde hair as Lucky she was dressed in a light blue robe. She even had wings of pure light. Like all the other gods she looked young but something about her showed that she was much older than she looked. Just her presence exuded ancient power and grace. She waved at Lucky and me too, and then she dispersed night's mists, bathing the earth again in the shining light of heaven. Seriously that was the only way to describe it.

"Dawn's painted colors

New beginnings found once more

The day starts with hope"

Hemera waved good bye and sent another smile toward Lucky. Then what happened next had me chocked up.

My dad was driving the sun across the sky. He looked down at me and smiled like I had seen in my dream; I couldn't help but beam back. He looked from me to Lucky and then sent one of those 'knowing smiles', and I know I blushed even redder that time. God of truth my ass, it was not what it looked like. But I guess that was one of those 'experiences' I wanted. Then the sunlight got to unbearable even with the magic sunglasses.

"Thanks." I told Lucky, squinting at the sun.

"You're welcome." He smiled at me and I could feel my knees go weak. Damn he's good looking! "You can keep those." I was shocked; these were a gift from his mother, could he really just give them away like that?

"Lucky I'm not sure if I can accept these." I really wanted to accept them though, I would be able to see dad.

"Go ahead; I want you to have them." I was so happy I just hugged him. I took him by surprise but after he realized that I was going to give him his gifts worth he wrapped his arms around me and hugged back. The electric tingles were back. I detached from the hug, something was getting awkward.

"Uh, well thank you again Lucky." Then we parted ways. He went to go take a shower and I walked to the mess hall ready for breakfast. But on my way I saw Katie walking over and remembering yesterday's capture the flag I had to get the gossip.

"Hey, Katie!" I called to her. She turned around and waved to me and waited for me to catch up.

"Well you look better than you did after you healed all those campers." The heat returned to my cheeks, stupid fainting.

"Well I feel better." I looked at Katie. She was smiling at me but the smile wasn't very sincere. "Katie, are you alright? You seem a bit distracted." Katie's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh, does it show?" I nodded. "Well I just have some things on my mind."

"Do these things on your mind have anything to do with Travis?" Her cheeks reddened giving me my answer. "Katie what is wrong when I saw you guys during capture the flag you looked so cute together." Her blush deepened but the look in her eyes showed it was from anger instead of embarrassment. She sighed.

"While I was helping him, he started talking about pranks he could pull on the Hunters and I was just reminded of all the fights we've had I mean we are rivals not…anything else. Then we started arguing and I called him a dilettante." Katie was so conflicted.

"Katie, so what? You guys just got started on the wrong foot. Don't give up on it you two obviously like each other." Katie smiled but it turned into a grimace.

"I don't know if it's that easy I mean my siblings aren't all that fond of him and it's my fault. They didn't like him much either after the whole 'Chocolate Bunny' incident, but I only fanned the flames. Gods I am such a hypocrite." Poor girl maybe she should pray to Aphrodite for some guidance.

"Chocolate Bunny Incident?" I asked, okay I'm not subtle at all; I admit I have no ninja skills.

"Ugh, yeah, He and Connor put Chocolate Easter Bunnies on the Demeter cabin grass roof." I could see the anger in her posture. I hoped I wasn't going to regret this.

"That really doesn't sound so bad." I was confused how chocolate rabbits could be so bad.

"I know what you are thinking, that they were your typical Chocolate Easter Bunnies right?" I nodded at her rhetorical question. "Well they weren't that kind, they were alive. They were still made out of Chocolate but they were alive. They ate the grass and made little chocolate…feces. We had to rake them out of the roof, and even though the…feces…were chocolate they still smelled like the real thing." Okay it was kind of funny. Especially because Katie whispered the word 'feces' like it was really bad cuss word like c*** or tw***, or even m***. "Oh by the way there's a counselor meeting before breakfast." Katie effectively changed the subject. I wanted to continue our talk but she gave me that 'end of discussion look'. We walked to Big House and stood around a ping pong table with Chiron (who was in his wheelchair) waiting for more counselors to show up. Connor and Travis showed up first. Travis walked over to me and Katie but Katie literally huffed off to talk with Chiron. Leaving Travis a little deflated. I wanted to say something to him but talking about relationships with guys is really awkward. So I moved on to the other brother (hah that rhymed; I should start writing limericks).

"Good morning Connor." I greeted Connor but then I thought about what I did last night and began to feel guilty. It was probably totally illogical to feel guilt about this but I felt it anyway. "Uh Connor I wanted to apologize for what I did last night."

"Oh, yeah uh apology accepted." I wanted to believe him but since he wouldn't look me in the eye I figured something was up.

"Connor, look at me!" His eyes met mine and I could feel my cheeks (for like the fifth time this morning) heat again. "Look I'm sorry for putting the rubbing alcohol on your cuts and stuff but I was still angry about the singing and the grapes." I shook my head to try and get rid of the blush. "Do you forgive me?"

"Yeah, of course It was pretty good comeback." He smiled like his regular self. I couldn't help but return it. "Course now I might have to get back at you." He whispered under his breath.

"Wait what was that?"

"Nothing." He smirked. I was about to pry it out of him when Chiron brought us to attention.

"First of all I would like to commend you all on your performance in last night's Capture the Flag. Though we didn't win I know you all did your best." No one really felt like we did well so Chiron got silence and crickets. "Anyway this morning it is time to set up your partners for this month's Cabin inspectors." At that he got a better reaction.

"Uh?" I so intelligently uttered. So Chiron took a little time to explain what was going on while I received death glares from Lilith (sorry for asking questions). "Okay."

"So please pair up." Everyone went into a mad dash for a partner, no surprise Percy and Annabeth paired up as did Travis and Connor. While looking I spotted Lucky across the room, but at the moment when I heard partners I had already hatched a plan so instead I grabbed Katie. When everyone was paired up Chiron called a role call while each person told him their partner. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this in front of a crowd, gods I hate being center of attention.

"Hey Chiron is it fair that two kids of Hermes get to inspect and rate a cabin together?" I raised my hand like in school. I could feel the nervousness moving through my veins telling me to shut up.

"What do you mean?" Shit now I had to explain.

"W-well isn't it a bit biased that Connor and Travis get to be paired up?" Damn I hate this but I needed to do it. I spotted Lois from the corner of my eye. I tried to discretely gesture with my eyes to Katie and Travis. Her mouth twitched to form a small 'oh'.

"I agree Chiron I think it is unfair." She sent a look toward Annabeth who spoke her compliance.

"Alright Travis and Katie switch partners." Chiron began writing the switch on his clipboard. Shit, this wasn't going like it was supposed to.

"No!" I said louder than I meant. He looked at me with confusion written on his face as did everyone else. "I mean I want Connor." Oh shit! The snickers and giggling made my face feel like a furnace I was so sure it probably looked like it had been in a furnace as well. "No I don't want Connor like that!" I received more laughs.

"Oh." Connor uttered a fake depressed sigh.

"N-no I mean-I-I you know what I mean." I put my hands over my face to hide the looks I was receiving but that did nothing for the sounds. The things I do to hook two people up.

"Okay." Chiron took pity on me. "Katie and Travis will be partners and Connor and Armony will be partner. He said with finality writing down the change. "Alright, meet here at the beginning of your free time to receive a list of cabins." Everyone started to walk over to the Mess Hall but Chiron called me back over to him. "Armony I was hoping we could talk about your responsibilities as the Apollo cabin counselor." Oh thank you gods, he doesn't want to talk about what just happened.

"Sure Chiron, what specifically?"

"Well about the Archery field." Okay I knew where this was going.

"Want me to fix it up?" He nodded. I wasn't exactly sure how I was going to fix it up besides that it needed a lot of new stuff. Oooh this might be fun. "Alright, give me a while to figure out a budget for the new equipment it is going to need and I will get back to you on it." He smiled a bit forced but it was the okay anyway (I really should write Limericks). I made my way to the Mess Hall (finally) and got my food I sat at the Apollo table but it felt really weird without Max sitting next to me. I stole a look over at the Hermes table to spy on my little brother. He was digging into some pancakes he seemed fine but…

After a few activities

So far after my little word mishap this morning the day had been pretty good. I got to fly with Snowday and it was muy fantastico. However training with Clarisse was pretty hard, we had a mock duel where I had my ass handed to me. I never want to meet her in a real battle, well on the opposing side anyway.

I spent the next three hours coming up with different ideas for the Archery field range which luckily I got some help from Annabeth (she was looking for Percy but found me instead). She came up with different ideas and schematics for targets and some other stuff. Although while drawing a design for some obstructions Annabeth kind of stopped talking to me, she was too busy typing on a computer with a triangle on it, and since it was close to free time (aka. Cabin inspection time) I pulled us off of the ground and guided her typing form to the Big House, all the while listening to her mumble about angles and materials and other architectural things. When we got to the Big House Connor and Percy were the only two people there.

"Are we early?" I asked.

"No, actually you guys are very late." Connor answered. Oops, I blame Annabeth.

"Ah crap!" Percy cried out. Connor and I both turned to him (Annabeth was still typing away). "What is Annabeth working on?"

"Just some schematics for the Archery field, why?" Percy's eyes got wide.

"She's gonna be like this all day." He was obviously distressed but I couldn't tell whether it was because his girlfriend was paying more attention to a computer than him, or because his inspections were going to take longer than normal now. "The last time she was like this was when she was redesigning Olympus." Percy scratched the back of his head and let out a sigh. I know Percy was feeling anguished but if Annabeth was good enough to redesign Olympus, the Archery field range was going to be off the chain*. I did feel a little bad for Percy though. Connor and I left the Big House with our list in hand to go and inspect some cabins.

Lilith POV

What to do, what to do? I had just finished my cabin inspections; Apollo cabin receiving the worst I could give them of course. And now I was bored. Thanks to Armony my harem had been severed and without being able to reactivate the spell I was left with nothing to entertain me. Sometimes I really miss the days of war; being able to slaughter my enemies, the amazing power gracing my veins. But it's all gone now. To state the truth I was quite disappointed in just giving them a bad rating, but I guess I'll do better when the opportunity presents itself.

"Well hello opportunity." A monster was standing just outside the barrier behind the Climbing Wall. The Minotaur was looking much more ferocious than usual as he beat his fist against the magical barrier. As I walked up to him our eyes met, I saw the recognition in his eyes. He stopped beating against the barrier and kneeled on one knee; just like I remembered. He must have just barely returned to his corporeal state since he was only wearing his fruit of the loom briefs. His hatred for Percy must have been really intense to have come straight here hell bent on revenge. "Rise Minotaur." He obeyed unquestioningly and silently (oh how I missed that). "Would you like to come inside, and have a little fun?"

He gave me some kind of cow grunt as an affirmative. I looked at the barrier; most people can't see it unless they are in tuned with magic, but I had already devised a way to open the barrier. I am so good (or is it bad?). Of course we were never able to use this during the war. The opening needed to be discreet, small and open only for a few seconds at a time or else the breach would be discovered easily. "I will allow you in," At that he stood up ready to have his violent fun. But I needed him to do me a favor first. First rule of magic: nothing is ever free.

"But you must get rid of someone for me first." He nodded his big cow head. I took notice that one of his horns had what looked like a jagged line around it; a reminder of his defeat from Percy. I focused magic into my hand and drew a circular portal in the air. With a quick motion, if I do say so myself, I pulled a hair from the portal. Armony's long black hair was coming in handy. I held the end between my thumb and index finger of my left hand while running my right hand's fingers across it while speaking ancient words of power. Yes, I am a genius; knowing four different languages just makes me oh so great. When I was finished I let the hair go, it began to float to the Minotaur as if it was caught in a breeze. He caught it in his really gross hand almost gently.

"Use this to find her than get rid of her." I commanded. He nodded his big meaty head. I moved the portal that was still in the air (no need to waste energy) it connected with the barrier. Red electric sparks appeared at the conjunction of the different magics. I extended my hands and widened my arms. The portal mirrored my control. The Minotaur stepped through.

Crap, with Percy having the Curse of Achilles this could end before anything ever gets done. "Hmmm. I guess I'll do a little something." I have got to stop talking to myself. Is thinking to myself the same thing? I mean it might be, talking is just verbalizing one's thoughts and- Damn you ADHD! I centered my thoughts and allowed my power to activate. Flames erupted on my fingertips. "Distract the campers." I commanded. With a flick of my hand the flames flew off and took the form of seven wolves. The flames that made their bodies seared the ground until it was black and burnt. "Go."

Armony POV

"Ouch!" I rubbed my head as I felt a hair pulled out. I turned to Connor behind me. "Why would pull my hair?" I accused.

"What?" Connor looked surprised; he's not a bad actor. "Armony I didn't do anything. Are you sure your hair didn't get caught on something?" He seemed sincere, but he was hiding something, he'd been acting strange ever since we entered the Demeter Cabin. Which by the way was really pretty, each bed was made from a tree and there were potted plants everywhere making the cabin smell fresh and floral and alive.

"Mmm hmm." I hummed. I was still suspicious.

"Come on let's get out of here." He put his arm around my shoulders; I have to admit it felt nice. Damn! How long has it been since I had a boyfriend. A month ago I was dating Skip, until he pressured me for sex the third time (I have a rule: three strikes and you're out). Anyway, something about Connor's smile put me on edge. It seemed a bit staged. Max used to smile like that before I tripped over something. Then I realized I left my pencil in the cabin.

"Hold on." I detached Connor's arm from me. "I left my pencil in the cabin." I walked back inside. And grabbed my pencil from off of a bed I hat sat on. I looked down at the floor and saw a red rose just lying on the floor. It wasn't there when I was inspecting. I bent over and picked it up; pulling a string attached. "Ay caca." Several bangs went off around the room, from each pot to be exact, sending petals, plant pieces and soil all over the cabin and me. "Connor." I said after a fit of coughs.

"Yeah?" Connor helped me up cracking up a bit, I could feel my cheeks blushing thanks gods for the dirt to hide the red.

"What did you do?" He smiled sheepishly.

"You remember the confetti canon?" I nodded but I knew where this was going. "I put a few in the flower pots."

"W-where would you even get that idea?"

"I saw it on iCarly." I love that show. Wait something doesn't add up.

"I've been here the entire time how did you put them in the flower pots?"

"Oh, well that was easy." But before he could explain I saw the one of the tree beds catch fire.

"Connor!" I pointed at the fire. He jumped back when he the flame suddenly grew bigger.

"Shit!"

I looked at him incredulously. "No, shit!" Then a loud angry sounding growl filled the air, it sounded kind of like the Hollows on Bleach, but angrier and well real. "What was that?" I said distracted from the growing flames. Then howling started in the distance. Connor and I ran out of the cabin. Tons of campers were running towards the Climbing Wall, many of them brandishing weapons. "What's going on?" I yelled, but I received my answer as a Minotaur stomped his way around aimlessly swatting at the campers underneath him. Every so often he would stop and sniff the air. I heard campers yelling in pain as I saw them trying to fight what looked like large foxes made of fire. Malcolm took a swipe at one with his sword but it went through the fire fox without harming it. He dropped the sword as it began to glow with heat.

"The swords don't work on the wolves!" He yelled to the other warriors (to call them any less at this moment would be an insult). Oh…wolves, that explains the howling.

"We need something magic to offset them!" Annabeth yelled out to the crowd. "Where are the Hecate cabin mates?"

"We're trying Annabeth." A girl yelled. She had a blue fire ball floating in her between her hands. "They're made with a magic originating from Hecate. Our power isn't significant enough." As if to demonstrate she shot the fire ball at a wolf it slowed it down but it the flames became a part of its body making it bigger.

"Where's Percy? We need his water manipulating abilities." Malcolm yelled to his sister. As if to answer two wolves howled as they circled Percy, keeping him from getting to the Minotaur.

"Connor what do we do?" To tell the truth I was scared. This place was supposed to be safe.

"We put our training to good use." Connor smiled confidently. "Armony go protect some of the younger campers." I nodded and ran off, as an afterthought I flicked my wrist and held my bow. I searched the crowd for Max. His dirty-blonde head was hidden behind Tyson along with a little girl who looked a lot like Annabeth. Two wolves were circling them. The wolves were closing in; I could see the sweat on Max's brow; that got me pissed. No one messes with my brother. I ran closer until I was only a few feet away. One of the wolves turned its attention to me. The other stayed circling.

"Okay." I pulled the string back and held the arrow at the ready. "Let's see what's stronger; arrows of light or wolves of flame." It leapt at me as I released the arrow and the wolf disappeared in a flash of light and heat accompanied by a howl of pain. I didn't have time to think so I let my instincts drive me I pulled back the string again and let another arrow fly. The other wolf disappeared in the same manner as the one before it.

"Yeah!" The three shouted. Of course Tyson's yell over powered the others but still. I grabbed Max and hugged him fiercely. He hugged me back just as tight. "That was pretty cool Armony."

"Thanks." I pulled back and looked him and the girl over, they looked alright. "Okay you three stay behind me got it." I know Tyson was strong enough to protect himself but, he was still a little brother, and I was a big sister…it's what I do. They nodded. As I moved them back to relative safety the wind shifted so we were know downwind from the Minotaur. I heard him before I could think of what to do. Then I felt the heavy vibrations in my feet. I turned to capture the gaze of those monstrous eyes that will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life. He roared and it felt as though my eardrums would pop. The Minotaur swiped his hand and Tyson flew across the ground landing in a crumpled heap.

"Tyson!" I yelled, but even my scream was short lived as a large meaty hand grabbed me and pulled me up to his bovine face. He looked at me as he began to squeeze. The breath left me I tried to scream but nothing would come out. Tears fell down my face as I felt ribs begin to crack. In a way I was kind of happy I couldn't breathe; I could feel his warm disgusting breath and with how close we were to one another if I could breathe I would be breathing in that. Eew!

"Let go of my sister!" I heard Max yell. I looked down to see him kicking the monster that paid him no mind. I wanted to scream with every fiber of my being for Max to run away and get somewhere safe. I saw a glint of bronze disappear into brown flesh. The Minotaur bellowed in pain and I fell to the ground. My lungs filled with the air I had been deprived of. Then I saw the most horrible thing. The Minotaur wacked Max like he was a fly. Max flew back and hit a tree. I screamed. I had no idea I could ever be that loud or make a sound so shrill and angry, but that noise came from me. All I could see was my brothers crumpled body. The pain in my body ceased to exist; I stood up and faced the thing I wished to kill. The Minotaur stumbled back as someone grabbed onto its horns twisting its head making it fall to the ground. Percy climbed over it his sword ready to kill it.

"Don't." I didn't speak loud but I know he heard me. His face took in mine and he froze. The Minotaur took advantage and tossed Percy off of him. It stood up and was about to grab Percy when I screamed again getting its attention. "You will die here!" I pulled string back on my bow. "On your knees!" I commanded. I released two arrows, they left trails of glittering light as they hit their targets. An arrow shot into each leg of the Minotaur forcing him into my command. Everything in my body was hyper aware, I knew after this I would always be able to remember it. I shot a third arrow into the Minotaur's throat. A hole was burned into him. "Die." I felt cold just like my words. The Minotaur's body began to disintegrate into dust disappearing along with it. "Max!" I ran to my little brother watching over his broken form. I pulled him into his arm. I could hear his faint breaths, and feel his weakening pulse.

"Father, Apollo, Lord of the Son

Let me heal and undo what is done.

Fix bruise and break

And pain please take

Heal my brother, one beloved

Joined by mother, same in blood"

I sang. I wasn't sure what else to do, so I sang.

Connor POV

After I left Armony, Travis and I teamed up to try and get some water to Percy. Like Annabeth and Malcolm had said our weapons couldn't hurt the wolves and magic or the natural enemy of fire (aka. Water) was our only hope. Travis and I took pale of water to Percy but with his attention on trying not to get burned we were forced to throw buckets of water at the wolves. But it actually worked better when we threw water on Percy. He got his strength back then made his own personal storm complete with lightning and rain and started to put out the fire wolves. They went out like…well like a flame being dowsed with water.

"Thanks!" Percy nodded to us.

"Don't mention it." I said.

"But if you want to show us your gratitude with gifts we won't complain." Travis finished our common thought. Percy was still all business.

"Put out the other wolves. I'll take care of the Minotaur." Percy twirled Riptide and ran toward the Minotaur.

"Aye, aye captain." Travis and I yelled after him. We ran to put get more water. On our way we heard a scream. The loudest most horrible thing I had ever heard, like someone was crying and screaming ion anger at the same time. It was so shrill I'm sure it could break glass. But I knew that voice it was Armony.

I looked back to see Percy over the head of the Minotaur about to sever it but he stopped and I knew why when I looked at Armony. Her face was absent of any of the compassion and joy she usually had, all it showed was a cold anger. She looked like an avenging goddess full of divine fury, it was creepy. That look could make a volcano freeze over. The Minotaur threw Percy off of him and it faced Armony; it looked incredibly angry but between the two looks of anger I would choose the Minotaur's.

"You will die here!" She yelled at the Minotaur. Her voice was still her own but there was more to it. Like the anger was amplifying another person's voice along with hers. "On your knees!" She commanded. I looked and noticed that the entire battle had stopped even the fire wolves were just watching. Armony pulled back her bow and shot arrows of light at the Minotaur forcing him into submission. Where did she get those? The beauty of the shining arrows hid their deadly nature. The Minotaur braced himself on his hands looking at Armony. "Die." Was her final command. The Minotaur was about to let out a roar when a beam of light shot through the back of his neck silencing him. Then he disappeared into dust. "Max!" Armony screamed. She ran to our little brother. Which explained the whole Avenging goddess thing. Then she began to sing. Every camper walked to them crying. There was no way not to. Even the fire wolves became quiet. Armony sang as tears fell down her face and to everyone's relief. Max's eyes fluttered open.

"Armony?" His voice was labored and weak.

"Max." Armony's smile was as bright as the son. Armony turned to the crowd. "I need nectar." Someone produced a canister and handed it to her. She lifted the open lid to Max's lips and he began to drink. Max immediately began to look better. When he was done drinking Armony wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

"Armony," Max's muffled voice came out barely audible. "Armony I can't breathe."

"Oh, sorry." She loosened the hug and wiped her eyes. Then Chiron came along and broke up the crowd and sent the injured to the infirmary. The rest of us began picking up weapons and returned to our cabins.

"Ah!" Came another girl's scream. "Our Cabin!" Katie yelled. Oh, yeah I forgot about that. "Water we need water." The flames were peaking over the Demeter cabin roof. But Percy came to the rescue putting out the flames. However the Demeter cabin mates were left angry. "Those stupid fire wolves the burned up our cabin!" Katie yelled. Okay, let's go with that.

That was longer than I expected. Next chapter…more filler! Next chapter will be a big chapter of various little chapters during a quest. You'll get it when you see it. If you don't want to then you don't actually even have to read the next one, but I'd appreciate it if you would.
