Percy woke up in the middle of the night to a whole ton of clanking. His memory slowly came back, the kidnapping, the dragons chaining him up while he was gasping for air, finding riptide was back in the pouch, him trying to escape with one arm, and lastly was Frank and some other dragons. He remembered almost falling to his doom when frand turned into some huge bird-lion thing. Percy didn't remember the rest.
When Percy tried to move, all of his muscles screamed in agony from the chains constricting him to near suffocation. His neck especially hurt, that was where he was blasted with fire.
"Do you feel alright"? A small voice piped up from his left. Slowly he turned his head to look at Anemone, who was pouring water on his wings. "A little sore, but still alive". His voice sounded hoarse and his throat felt like it had coral growing in it. "What's going on"? Percy asked. He tried to get up and managed to sit up. "They are preparing for battle. Glory plans to attack them before they attack us, then we could have the advantage of surprise".
Percy couldn't believe it, they were going to go to battle without him. He got up and limped towards the exit. "Wait, where are you going"? "Anemone, do you know where the nearest river is"?
After a nice bath in a river by a cave, Percy felt like he could take on an entire army. They flew back to the village and Percy landed on a platform next to the other demigods with Anemone on his back. "Percy, how are you feeling"? Asked Piper, and Percy had the urge to tell her about everything, he really didn't enjoy being charmspeaked. "I am feeling better. I went to a river over there and healed myself. "I wish I could do that", Frank sighed. "Yeah, it would be so useful if we could all heal in water", Leo smiled and finished a flying wind up plane made out of copper. He set it to the air and it flew around till it hit someone in the head. "I never really liked that guy", Leo laughed and the sandwing that got hit in the head glared at Leo and then shoved the plane into a watermelon a dragon was eating. The dragon eating didn't care or notice the airplane as he crunched it down and looked a little confused. "I have to agree with you Leo, no one liked that dragon".
"Guys, remember what we were talking about", Jason piped in. "Battle plans", said Thalia. Percy noticed that no one had seen her in a while, and then he remembered, she taught stealth to dragons outside the village so she wasn't around much. "Ok, so we send in the skywings first and then the mudwings. At the sides the sandwings and icewings will attack together. Nightwings would come after, following by the rainwings". Percy thought about that for a second, "No, I think we should send in the rainwings first, they could weaken the dragons by spraying their venom on the first wave". "Hmm, good idea. Anyone else in vote"? "Oh and Percy, there is a river at the side, once everyone has attacked, wipe out any dragons who get in your way, I will do the same with the winds. Got it"? "Sweet", said Percy. He looked to the sky and thought Annabeth, we are coming for you.
Percy and the rest of his friends lead the army into battle. They flew above the first wave and planned to go down with the nightwings. Up ahead was the blackened mountains where the enemy camp hid. The night was flooded with stars, and the air was chilly, but Percy didn't feel very cold. He knew the icewings would love this whether, but the sandwings wouldn't enjoy it as much. As they neared the mountain range, they heard the bustling of dragons preparing for battle behind the mountain. Percy watched as the line of rainwings flew over the mountains and dove into the camp. He heard shrieks of surprise from the enemy as red and black rainwings flew down and released a spray of black venom. He heard dragons scream in pain and he watched as their enemies crumpled in the goo.
The second wave came in, armed with swords, bows, daggers and fire. Leo lead that, bursting into flames and yelling something that got caught in the battle. Skywings clashed with the enemy forces and the mudwings followed. Thinking the attack was only coming from there, the enemy dragons didn't see the wave of glittering icewings and sandwings, come from either side of the range. The icewings froze their victims and the sandwings slashed the frozen dragons to pieces and then would tear out the metal piece. Ghost metal dragons began to snap out of their surprise until the nightwings came down on top of them and no one saw the pitch black dragons before it was too late.
The battle was going great, Percy had made it to the river and was slashing away dragons with water from the river. when any got close enough, Percy would slash the metal out of them with Riptide. Seeing everyone work together made Percy happy, but until he saw a sight that he didn't like. Leo was being dragged away by an enemy seawing. Poor Leo was knocked out and was being carried out to the top of the hill where Annabeth was. An even more horrible sight was the fact that there was more than Annabeth, he saw the dark shape of Hazel and Frank. They were slumped over and wrapped in chains. Percy's rage boiled up inside and came out in one big roar, no one hurts his friends like that.
Gods, how does Rick Riordan write an entire book about a battle. I really suck at long battles. So anyway, was it good enough for you guys. Review what you think and keep dreaming my friends.
