Chapter 50

The monsters halted their advance and stare at the demigod before them who radiate pure might. The air around them was tense and heavy its as if a single move could destroy them, even the hellhounds could feel it. Their instinct is telling them that the person in front of them is dangerous and someone not to be play with.

until finally a hellhound snarl and charge at her. Hazel just stood there with her spatha stabbed on the ground and Arion behind her. The hellhound pounce to its price then suddenly it was stuck in midair with open mouth and claws ready to devour, the hellhound was struck on its stomach with a metal bar that came out of the ground. It exploded into golden dust.

The Giant smirk and slam his spear on the ground, he pointed at Hazel "Attack"

with a slight hesitation the army of monsters charge at her and Hazel just stood there on the same position, then her gold eyes shone more brightly inside the diamond skull covering her head.

The ground shook and dozens of metal bars from the bridge shot the surface and head straight to the monsters with speed that would destroy a concrete, they hit the charging monsters turning them into dust but the they continued to charge on. More and more metal bars shot out of the ground destroying the monsters, like a whip of destruction. The ground shook and the bridge started to fall apart with nothing supporting it. The ground gave out beneath the remaining monsters, plunging them to the sea. The metal bars destroyed the harpies like whips.

Hazel mounted Arion and rode straight towards the Giant to the other side of the destruction. Arion with a speed of sound jump on the falling rocks to the other until he reach the last one and jump higher.

Hazel raise her spatha and brought it down on the Giant but he block his strike with his spear, the dust that was surrounding got blast away from the impact of the strike.

Arion landed on the ground and immiediately move to the side and the spear of the Giant jab the ground on where he was. Hazel raise another metal bars beneath the Giants foot and wrap around them like snakes to stop his movement but the Giant simply move as if there were not metal wrap around his foot. He swipe at Hazel and she duck and move in again. she jab at it's stomach and he swipe her spatha away, Arion jump back before he could counterattack then move in again and Hazel aim for his left feet. This time Agrius could not followed Arion because he was moving too fast, before he knew it his leg was cut deep. He roared at the pain and got down on his knee.

Hazel turn Arion around face the back of the Giant, Agrius look back at them with pure rage and a promise of agonizing death. the bridge is now cut in half and their battle ground was too small for her. She turn Arion towards the end of the bridge and gallop normally so that the giant could follow them. Out of rage for being wounded the Giant followed her blindly.

Hazel waited for the Giant to arrive, she was on a big clearing to the right side of the bridge and a cliff was to her left side leading down the to the sea. The Giant threw his spear at them while coming at them, Arion charge with a sonic boom before the Agrius knew it, they were behind him and he had a cut on his stomach. He roared and grab the wound.

With their weakness gone, Hazel and Arion are the strongest Cavalry ever, at first Arion had to slow down so that Hazel can attack their enemy but now that weakness was gone, they were unbeatable.

Agrius grab his spear and prepare for their attack, he watch Arion closely trying to predict the direction he's going by watching the muscles in his shoulder. Arion's muscle tense and move the Agrius right, however Agrius was already swinging his spear where they were going with one hand. Hazel block the attack and they slide back from the force. The Giant pull his fist back and punch them, Hazel push the spear away then she summersault in the air and Arion jump tp the side to dodge. Hazel landed on his wrist and ran up his arm with her sword on her right side ready to slash. She jump and slash his neck, Agrius roared and tried to grab her, she kick his chest and spin then stab his hand. Using her power and push her spatha deeper. Agrius flail his hand sending Hazel flying, she landed on the ground then rolled like a rag doll then she push herself off the ground and landed crouching and grabbing the ground holding herself from sliding any further.

She look up and the Giant was already on her, he swing his spear and hit her ribs, she got blown away from the blow and landed on her feet, a crack appeared on her armor. That attack would have torn her body apart but thanks to her diamond armor that could take a blow from the gods because of the magic added into it, she could withstand it with minimal damage. The crack on her armor from the attack closed itself leaving nothing, it's as it never happen at all. Hazel stood up straight.

Arion appeared besides her and she mounted him. The Giant wounds are already closing, not only their strength is getting stronger but their regeneration power also.

"You'll never get that sword Daughter of Pluto" the giant said with cockiness

"Hmph, and Gaea said we could never defeat her children but we have already defeated five" was her reply

Hazel eyes shone brightly beneath the helmet "It's time to end this"

The bag Arion carrying open and a imperial sword came out, it float in midair and move front of Hazel then more swords burst out of the bag until Hundreds of them hover around Hazel.

The giant frowned with distaste at the weapons, he raise his foot causing earthquake with brute strength alond, cracks appeared on the ground and rock shot up heading towards Hazel. Arion jump to dodge but a rock hit his stomach and Hazel hurl the weapons at him creating a tornado of weapons, Agrius rolled to the side and threw his spear at them while they're still in midair. Hazel jump from Arion's back and with all of her strength she redirect the spear away from them with her spatha. The spear flew away to the side and Hazel use her power to levitate her diamond armor thus making her fly.

Her dark cape bellowing behind her back as the swords she hurl at him came back to her, they all levitate around her. Arion neigh angrily for his injury.

"HA! no wonder my brother Leon was killed by you, you're strong daughter of Pluto" the Giant said with booming voice.

Hazel's finger twitch and a lone sword flew towards the Giant and he simply swipe it away. Hazel flew towards the Giant and strike at him, Agrius rolled to the side but Hazel sends her weapon at him. The Giant hurl a giant rock at the swords knocking them away then he jump toward Hazel.

She was about of meet him with her spatha but a lightning hit the Giants shoulder piercing through his skin, Agrius roared in pain as he landed on the ground gripping his shoulder that has hole and burn in it.

Hazel look where the lightning came from and saw Jason with the others, he gestured for her to retreat but drunk with adrenaline that only a battle between life and death could only bring, she ignore him and once again gather her weapons to her, this time she melted the metal, golden liquid gather in front of her forming a giant sword.

she pointed it at the wounded and hurl it to the Giant with a swipe of her hand, the sword was hit by another spear, sending it away. She look where it came from and saw the biggest Giant she had seen

of course Gaea would send her greatest son

Porphyrion grab a tree besides him and threw it at her, the tree was set ablaze by a fire ball, it was ashes before it got to her.

She look at the Giant kneeling before her

"Do not fear Giant, I always finish the job" was all she said then flew towards her family with Arion racing away from the battlefield


Hazel landed on top of the Alcatraz prison where her companions await her, she sheath her sword and her diamond armor shrunk back to a pendant.

"It seems we got the right place" Annabeth said

"Now what? we're too late, they're already in the mountain and have castle in there" Leo said

"The castle doesn't matter, what's important is to get the sword" Frank said

Jason nodded "He's right, we still have time until the sword is created, we can just snatch it away without fighting them"

Percy look at the mountain with his arm cross, he could feel the power gathering at the top, is it because of Andromeda? or the Fates wants him to know what kind of monstrosity he bought to this world because of his creation.

either way the sword must not fall to Gaea's hand.

"We have nine days" Piper stated

They split up in a harbor to make it harder for Gaea to detect them and decided to meet at the same place in 8 days before the battle which is why Percy is sitting on a bench all alone in front of a high school that has a banner that says Senior prom is coming in 4 days.

He was bored and have nothing to do, he has 8 days to pass time and since he's going to miss his senior prom why not attend one now? he's still an eighteen years old after all.

"Don't even think about it" a voice said from behind him

Percy sigh "Why not?

"Must I remind you that you hate school and you are not a high school kid" Piper said, she put her hands on his shoulders

"Why can't I be one for 8 days? Even if I command an army and worship as a God by my own kind, I'm still an eighteen years old teenager" he look up to her

She wrap her arms around his neck and rest her chin on his shoulder, she kiss his neck then his jaw.

Percy close his eyes savoring her touch "Hmm"

"Don't, not right here" he said

"Why not?" she whispered on his ear "We are alone now. Do you have any idea how much do I have to endure not to touch you, kiss you" she lick his ear "make love to you" she said in a low seductive voice that send shiver of pleasure to his very soul

"People are watching" Percy said in a ragged breath

People passing by cast some glance at them and whispered, some frown and others try to ignore them.

"Do you love me?" she ask and bit his ear

He groan but not in pain "hmm. You know I do"

"Then make me yours just like you did so many times" she purr

Percy break away from her grip and stood up, he walk away from her

Piper sigh and follow behind him "Percy!"

"I'm sorry, okay, I won't do it again so don't get mad at me" she said almost begging, the thing she hate the most was him getting angry at her, she can't stand it.

He walk faster and she ran after him "Percy!"

He entered a store without a pause and stop in middle, the automatic door open again and Piper entered with a look of worry. She was so engrossed of worrying about Percy hating her she didn't notice where she was at, it was always like that whether he's involve, she care nothing else.

"I'm sorry Okay, I won't do it again" she said

"Miss" Percy said to a woman behind the counter

"Yes?"

"Please give me the most beautiful wedding ring you have"


Whaaaaaaaat?

They're not even engage yet! It seems Percy forgot a step in their relationship!
