AN: Well, here goes nothing! Chapter 21!
I noticed a guest posted a question asking what PA meant. I completely forgot to put that in the bottom authors note last chapter!
Q: What does PA mean?
A: PA means Prehistoric Age, pretty much when the dinosaurs were around.
Anyway, let's get going with chapter 21!
Chapter 21: 3000 Romans
Percy POV
I look to the side of 'Sea's Voyage', where Zarcrix was standing, peering intently at the throat of Jormundgandr.
"This is our stop!" he suddenly yells, and throws his hands up, freezing the water inside Jormundgandr's throat, pulling the ship to a halt.
"Are we really going to do this?" asks Katie, looking slightly afraid.
"Yup" Zarcrix says cheerfully.
Zarcrix then blasts the side of Jormundgandr's throat, opening a massive hole, big enough for the ship to sail through. Zarcrix changes the current so the ship sails out of Jormundgandr's throat, and into the open sea.
Suddenly a huge roar rings out across the ocean, and I see Jormundgandr's head racing towards us, travelling at sound-breaking speeds.
"Huh, I guess he wasn't lying" I say, fear flooding through me.
Zarcrix grins and fly's up into the air, grinning as electricity starts to crackle in his hair.
"JACKSON!" yells Jormundgandr, completely ignoring Zarcrix, who looked a little surprised.
"I'LL MURDER YOU ALL!" Jormundgandr yells, obviously having broken the enchantment.
"OI! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!" yells Zarcrix.
"WHO, YOU?!" yells Jormundgandr, laughing.
Zarcrix just smiles, and his form starts to change. I watch in disbelief as spikes grow from his back, claws from his hands. He transformed into a huge monster. Huge wings sprouted from his back, and he roared, shattering a few windows.
Jormundgandr looked scared for a second, but then he laughed.
"YOU THINK THAT WILL SCARE ME, I AM THE WORLD SNAKE, DEVOURER OF THE SUN!" yells Jormundgandr. Jormundgandr's head rises above the water, his neck following until he was as tall as Zarcrix in his dragon form.
But as soon as Jormundgandr's head comes level with Zarcrix's, green fire erupts from Zarcrix's mouth, covering Jormundgandr's entire head. Jormundgandr yells in pain and when the smoke clears we could see his entire face was black from Zarcrix's fire. Jormundgandr lunges at Zarcrix and uses his horns and strikes Zarcrix in the face, but Jormundgandr's horns shattered, causing Jormundgandr to howl at the loss of several of his biggest horns.
Zarcrix laughs and blasted him with massive balls of green power, each one smashing Jormundgandr back, knocking him into the sea.
Jormundgandr rises, anger fuelling him. His face was burnt and part of it melted. Jormundgandr growls and sends a blast of earth at Zarcrix, knocking him into the sea. Zarcrix gets up, completely unharmed, but looking confused.
"How did you do that? You're a bloody snake?!" Zarcrix says, confused.
"I am the world snake! Hint is in the name idiot!" yells Jormundgandr, then he howls in pain as he feels the pain of his face.
Zarcrix just rolls his eyes and lunges at Jormundgandr, teeth bared as he does. Jormundgandr open his mouth baring his own teeth, only for Zarcrix to blow green fire straight down his throat, causing Jormundgandr to collapse into the ocean and lay still, dead.
"Well, that was interesting" I say, looking at the dead body of Jormundgandr on the ocean floor.

Third Person POV
Poseidon followed Hecate, lurking in the artificial shadows she had created. They were following Zeus, Hecate trying to find out if something was wrong with him.
Hecate caught a glimpse of Zeus's eyes, and immediately spotted the golden hue around his pupil.
"Bewitchment potion" whispers Hecate, looking at Zeus in shock, who was talking to Craig.
"What is that?" whispers Poseidon.
"A potion that allows the person who gives the potion the ability to control them, do what they want. It doesn't have to be given regularly, its permanent until you can break the potion, and new orders are available. It appears someone is insanely jealous of Percy, or just hated him, and wishes to control the gods." Whispers Hecate.
"So basically, not good" whispers Poseidon.
"Yeah, really bad" whispers Hecate.
"And I think I know who did it" whispers Poseidon angrily.

Percy POV
I look at the approaching island of Rome, not far away. Soon we would have to sneak all the Romans out of the camp without the Roman gods noticing. 'Sea's Voyage' pulls up in the harbour of New Rome. The Roman Gods hadn't noticed it was me yet, lucky me. Zarcrix leaps off the ship and walks up to Jupiter.
"Who are you boy?" booms Jupiter. (Zarcrix is in his 13-year-old form).
"Who are you youngling?" asks Zarcrix, and I could see a smirk forming on his face.
"Me? Youngling? I'm over 1000 years old!" yells Jupiter.
"Yeah, I know, you are a youngling" Zarcrix says.
"What?! You can't be older than 15!" yells Jupiter.
"Actually, I'm 120937462836482492 years old." Says Zarcrix smugly.
Jupiter blinks. "Bull shit!" he yells.
I see the Romans gathering in the background, and I wave to them. They all wave back, and slowly, in a single file line they slowly made their way to the ship, Zarcrix distracting Jupiter.
"I hope you die!" yells Jupiter.
"Bite me!" yells Zarcrix.
"I kill you!" yells Jupiter.
"Oh, barf on my face! You killing me? That I'd like to see!" yells Zarcrix.
"You are stupid!" yells Jupiter.
Zarcrix blinks. "Seriously, that's what you come up with?" he asks.
"Yeah! What's wrong with that?" yells Jupiter.
"You say you are 1000, cause honestly you're sounding like a 5-year-old!" yells Zarcrix howling with laughter.
"I'll kill you!" yells Jupiter.
"Yeah, yeah" says Zarcrix dismissively.
"Fight me!" yells Jupiter.
"Ok! To the arena on the other side of New Rome!" yells Zarcrix, taking Jupiter away from the docks.
I grin as I watch Jupiter throw a lightning bolt in the air and take off to the arena. I smile as I watch the Romans board the ship.
The Arena
Third person POV
Zarcrix was whistling a merry tune as he followed Jupiter. A quick glance back to the dock showed the Romans boarding the ship, Zarcrix grinned and entered the arena.
"Ready to get destroyed kid?" said Jupiter.
"No, the question is; are YOU ready to get destroyed kid?" Zarcrix says, emphasizing the you.
Jupiter just growls and throws a bolt of lightning at Zarcrix, hitting him directly in the chest. Smoke explodes everywhere, and once it cleared Jupiter saw Zarcrix standing there, completely unharmed, his t-shirt not even damaged.
Suddenly Zarcrix lunged and punched Jupiter in the chest, sending him flying into the arena wall, breaking it. Jupiter gets up and shakes off the soreness.
"I'll kill you!" yells Jupiter, firing lightning bolt after lightning bolt at Zarcrix.
Zarcrix just stands there, not caring about the lightning bolts smashing into him. He rushes forwards and grabs Jupiter by the legs, and throws him across the camp and into the ocean. He gets up and sees the last of the Romans boarding the ship.
"WHAT IS THIS?" he yells.
Percy POV
"Seriously Zarcrix! You couldn't have waited!" I yell.
"Sorry, I over shot my throw" says Zarcrix shrugging.
I roll my eyes.
Jupiter looks right at me and lunges, only for Zarcrix to kick him in the chest, sending him back into the ocean.
"This is so much fun!" says Zarcrix gleefully.
He fly's after Jupiter and slams him in the jaw. Then he turns into a dragon and bites him, causing Jupiter to cry out in pain.
"Ouch" I say, watching the battle.
Eventually Zarcrix throws Jupiter into the arena and we set off again, this time back to Camp Half-Blood, where Zarcrix promised he would enlarge until the power of the rising primordial's was great enough for him to track.
'Sea's Voyage' begins another journey, back to Camp Half-Blood.
