I am so sorry if this chapter is short, Please forgive me!
PERCY'S POV.
After a long day of training, finally it came to an end. Annabeth, Grover, Nico, and I we're sitting at the big house with Chiron and Mr D.
"I'm beat." Nico gasped, I laughed.
"Lazy." I muttered.
"Seaweed brain." He said.
"Dead boy." I said, Chiron shushed us. We looked at him.
"Do you hear that?" He whispered, we all tried to listen to the sounds. I heard nothing.
"Chiron? I don't hear anyth-" but he shushed me instantly.
"Hellhounds." Chiron said, we all looked up at the sky, but no lightning appeared. Thank the gods.
"Where's Eragon?" Chiron asked, I shrugged, along with Nico and Annabeth.
"Haven't seen him since breakfeast." Annabeth said.
"I think it may be comming from the other side." Chiron said, Mr D patted his shoulder.
"Calm calm now Chiron. It might just be the animals cries for help because Saphira is chasing them. No need to worry." Mr D said, but then we all heard the sound of flapping wings, then a trembling crash. I jumped up, looking around for anything suspicious, but I saw nothing. Then, we all heard a loud roar. The sound made me cover my ears in agony. Once it stopped, I heard Saphira in my mind.
Percy! Eragon is hurt! Something attacked us! Hurry! She sounded very upset, or worse, scared.
"Eragon is hurt. Saphira.." I tried to say, but Chiron was already on his way towards the lake. I glanced at Annabeth, who looked worried aswell. We all followed Chiron to the lake. I saw Saphira, she was hunched over. Then, approaching them, I noticed a huge bite mark through the amount of blood she was losing. Definitely hellhounds.
"Chiron, what do we do?" Annabeth asked, I knelt beside Eragon, checking his pulse.
"It's weak." I said, Eragon's eyes fluttered and he groaned.
"Get him to the lake. Heal his wounds." Chiron said, I dragged Eragon until we we're at the edge of the lake, the waves crashed in on us slightly. I used the water to heal most of his injuries. He coughed, trying to clear his throat.
"What the hades happend?" I asked, anger in my voice. Eragon snapped open his eyes, however, unable to sit up. He coughed again. Oh gods, he had blood everywhere. He was drenched in it. But however, most of the majour wounds we're healed.
"S-saphira.." He grunted, I shook my head.
"Don't worry about her. She's fine. What in the name of Zeus happend!" I asked him, he blinked. The water crashed in on us, we we're both soaked. The cold water made me shiver a bit.
"Dogs.. Big.. Dogs.. They attacked.. Me.. Saphira killed them.." Eragon managed to croak. I looked at Chiron, they we're standing near us now.
"Definitely hellhounds." I said, then started dragging Eragon back to the shore where it was dry. Because of the water, the blood was washed away.
"Kronos might have sent them.." Nico said, I looked at Eragon, who grimaced.
"What do we do?" Annabeth asked. Chiron itched his head in thought.
"I do not know. But I fear, the worst is yet to come." He said, the sound of that diddn't make me feel too well.
"Saphira, are you alright?" I asked, looking up at her. She growled.
No.. The wound hurts.. She said, I wondered if water could heal dragons.
"Chiron, can the water heal Saphira too?" I asked, Chiron looked at Saphira, then to me again.
"You could try." He said, I stood up and guided Saphira to the lake. As soon as I touched her, her injury healed completely. She looked at me.
Thank you. She said, I smiled.
"Anytime." I replied, then walked back over to Chiron, who now knelt beside Eragon.
"Are you able to stand?" Chiron asked Eragon. He grunted in reply.
"Come on. Let's get you to the big house. New clothes will await you." Chiron said, helping Eragon stand. Eragon draped his arms around Nico and Chirons shoulders. Then we all walked to the big house..
We waited for quite some time. Annabeth, Grover, Nico, Thaila, Clarisse, Mr D, Saphira and I sat outside the big house, waiting for Eragon and Chiron to come outside. Until then, I wondered, how could hellhounds end up there?
"Do you really think it was Kronos? What if it was your dad, Nico." I said, everyone looked at me.
"I don't know. I haven't spoken to my dad for a long time. What if Kronos gained his trust and became allied?" Nico said, I shrugged.
"What if what Chiron said is true?" Thaila asked.
"Then there is going to be a war far worse than last time Galbatorix and Kronos showed up. " I said, Nico gasped.
"What if the titans come? We will be gonners! Especially with Galbatorix's soldiers too!" Nico said, I glanced him a look that said 'calm down'. He was calm.
"We will just have to find out." Annabeth said.
If Eragon is alright with it, we can fly during the battle. Most of the battles we made we're great with Eragon on my back. We would make great use to you. Saphira said.
"And what if we needed Eragon on the ground?" I asked.
I'm sure you will do fine. Besides, we need to destroy Galbatorix once and for all. Saphira said. I nodded.
Nico and the rest of them looked at me like I was an idiot for talking to myself. But I wasn't. I was talking to Saphira.
"We need a plan." I said, then, we heard the sound of clattering hooves. We all looked at the entrance, Eragon and Chiron walked through. Eragon looked better, healthier.
"Recovered?" I asked, Eragon nodded and took a seat beside me.
"Good. Because we fear that Kronos and Galbatorix are up to something.." Nico said.
"Saphira made the suggestion that you fly around and patrol the skies." I said, Eragon looked at Saphira.
"I agree. That would be a good idea." Eragon said after a few seconds of silence.
"So thats it then. When Eragon is on Saphira, he can destroy Galbatorix. Then I can defeat Kronos. We all fight. We need everyone we can get. This could be worse than before." I said, everyone nodded in agreement.
"We need to call a camp council meeting. Right away. Chiron, blow the horn." I said, Chiron nodded and walked into the big house..
Author's Note;
