Seattle was so boring! I rode in and it was all gloomy and cold. I sighed as I thought back to three days ago when I had left. How I screamed at my little brother, how I was mean to my friends, and I how I even broke up Travis and Katie before they even had a chance to start. I shook my head and scowled to myself. Why should any of them be happy when people can easily break your heart?!
I rode down the streets on my horse and no one batted an eye. I have no idea if the Mist was working or if a horse riding down the street was normal to these people. Kind of makes you wonder how crazy things could get before the Mist gets involved here. I didn't want to test it as I pulled out Discord and kept it aimed, my vision was still incredibly sharp and it was awesome! I could basically see the feathers of a bird move as it flew in the sky.
I searched around the city and I could see the Space Needle wherever I went, I looked to my right and saw a stadium. It was the middle of winter and a layer of ice and snow coated the city. Every once in a while Rival would slip and nearly throw me off. What was I looking for again? Chiron said their was some Giant activity? What kind? Which Giant? Can't be Gration cause he's super dead. Each Giant is different and extremely deadly in a different way. So which one was here?
I heard car horns blaring and crashing in the distance I sighed. I think I found the Giant. I snapped the reigns and Rival took off towards the crashing. When we reached it we were in front of a huge skyscraper that overlooked the entire city. Something was off about it though, it was dark out but this building seemed to radiate disaster and destruction when you got close enough. Any cars that passed by it swerved and crashed into each other or they just stopped working or they crashed into a wall.
Rival whinnied nervously and I pat his neck "It's okay boy. Find some grass okay? I'll whistle if I need you." I said as I climbed off. Rival bucked up and then took off down the road, I gripped my gun and slowly made my way to the building.
"So" a voice boomed around me "A demigod has come!" he said. It was definitely male but I couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. I was in the courtyard of the building, it was about the size of half a football field and not one person was in sight. I gulped hard as I heard laughter echo all around me "So weak." he said behind me. I turned and fired but nothing was there! I heard the laughter again and I fired but still I hit nothing.
I growled "Show yourself coward!" I shouted and I heard footsteps approaching me. I turned and nearly fainted at the sight before me. It was a Giant alright, he was at least twenty five feet tall and he had dragon legs like the others. His skin and legs were a charcoal black, his hair was black and oiled back with wires and circuits braiding it. In his hand he had a massive sledgehammer! I gulped hard as I aimed my gun at him "S-Stay back!" I shouted but the Giant laughed again like this was the funniest thing ever.
I had enough of his laughter and aimed my gun and pulled the trigger.

I frowned in confusion, my gun was enchanted to never jam or run out of bullets! What the heck?! I fired again but was met with the same jam! The Giant grinned widely as he approached me "You do not know who I am child!" he roared. I backed up still trying to fire my gun but to no avail! Suddenly my eye shut off and I couldn't see to my right!
"I am Mimas! Bane of Hephaestus! No machinery works around me! Nothing does!" he shouted. I gulped hard as I dropped my gun and pulled out my whip. I haven't had time to practice with it but now's better than never right? I pulled back and swung it, it cracked right next to Mimas and he looked to his left at the sound of the crack. I swung again and it struck his leg, he winced in pain and I could see blood trickle from his leg. I grinned and swung again, the whip cracked against his shoulder.
He winced again and I started to feel pretty good until I thought back to when I got it. It was given to me after fighting Gration and my mother told me that I would feel alone. That I shouldn't push my friends away, and that's exactly what I did! Oh gods why did I do that?!
I was too busy thinking that I didn't notice I had pulled the whip back until it was too late! It shot back and cracked against my right leg. Pain immediately flared as blood gushed out of the wound. I fell to the ground screaming as I held my bleeding leg. I was breathing heavily trying to focus on anything but this unbearable pain! I heard Mimas chuckle as he approached me, I crawled away trying to find my whip, where was it?! Finally I saw it at the edge of the courtyard, I must have thrown it in my pain.
Mimas jumped forward and landed in front of me, he was grinning like a maniac. He cocked his head to one side before he crouched down and picked up the whip. He threw it down in front of me "Go on! Try and fight back! I like my prey when it fights!" he said viciously. My leg was throbbing horribly and I could feel the blood rushing out and onto the ground. I reached forward and grabbed my whip, I'm not going down without a fight! He wants me to fight back?! Fine by me!
I very painfully and shakily got on one leg and readied my whip. I pulled it back and got ready to swing.
Then Mimas hit me with his sledgehammer!
I flew across the courtyard and slammed into a brick wall. I couldn't breath, I couldn't think, I couldn't feel anything except pain. My sight was starting to fail me as Mimas approached with a smile. He raised his hammer and then suddenly an arrow pierced his shoulder. He staggered backwards as another hit his leg, he roared in pain as a volley of arrows struck him. He growled angrily "This is not over son of strife!" he said before he ran off.
My vision tunneled and the last thing I remember before blacking out was a bunch of blurry shapes. Demigods maybe? They surrounded me and then one took off their hood. I saw an angel. I swear it was an angel! She looked worried as she stared at me and spoke to her friends.
Then darkness took me.
