I wake up to the sound of a bell ringing loudly. The sun is shining, and the mini sun is over me.
"Hey Zach," I mumble.
"Hey Raven. You okay?" He asks.
"Yeahhh, my wing had a couple primaries and secondaries ripped out." I groan as I sit up. I stretch my wings to check on them, and I see more missing than I thought I lost.
"Wow. I underestimated the amount of feathers I lost." I stare at my wings.
"Well, I can see if my powers can heal them. Come on, let's go eat." Zach puts a hand on my right wing. It starts to get warm, and he starts to glow.
The door creaks. "Come on cupcakes." The coach grumbles. He takes two fingers and points to himself and us, then walks away.
We walk out to see all the others walk out too. At breakfast, we just eat in silence and everyone checks their phones for updates from camp. I don't have a phone, and neither does Zach, so I talk to him about camp.
The intercom crackles, and Festus creaks and squeaks. Annabeth jumps up and beckons for us to follow her. We do. Once we get outside, I can see London!
"Okay. Percy, Ally, and I will go scout for a docking place. You guys are to guard this ship. Festus has this on auto pilot, so don't touch the wheel. We will text, or Iris message in Ally's case, if we find somewhere." Annabeth says.
"Wait, I know a way to do this instead." I say, before tapping my AI chip to activate it.
"Fietro, we need a docking place for a warship." I tell the chip.
"There is an empty harbor 4 miles down the coast on the west side of Breckinridge." [I am seriously making this up]
I tap the chip again to show a map, and I spread my wings and try to take off. Try to. I end up smacking back onto the deck, and I land on my wing. I end up bruising it a bit.
"So, Festus can import data, right?" I ask Annabeth.
"Yeah, why?"
I walk up to the dragon and I tell the AI to connect to the dragon's mainframe, and I upload the map to Festus, who starts to steer the ship to that harbor. A couple minutes later, we dock and we get off and feel land for the first time in three days. Jason jumps out and basically hugs the ground after being on water for so long. I am getting my wing bandaged, and I go get a hoodie from Zach that is even big on him. We get off and go walk for a bit, talking about where to go next.
"We need to get to the site of the Trojan War, which is in Troy. And that is on the west side of the Aegean Sea." I say as we sit on the dock.
"Yeah, which means more sailing." Jason grumbles.
"Only for a couple hours though." Annabeth points out.
"We also need to repair the ship." I remember.
"Yeah. So, groups of two. We need wood, celestial bronze, coal, and some tar." Annabeth says.
"I'll get the Bronze." I say.
"Wood." Jason calls.
"Coal! Never again with the tar!" Percy exclaims.
"That leaves us with the tar. Thanks kelp head." Alex grumbles.
We branch off with our bf/gfs or cousins in Jase's case, and we set off. Zach and I have to walk to a nearby beach where there are some plates of bronze under the sand. It's a pretty easy grab, except for the rock nymph nearby.
"Excuse me. No one on this beach, please and thank you!" She exclaims.
I nod to Zach, and I spread my wings.
"Listen lady, we are in desperate need of something under this sand. So, if you don't shut your mouth, I have armor and a dagger made out of four metals. Silver, Stygian Iron, Imperial Gold, and a little Celestial Bronze sprinkled in. If I were you, I would back off." I snarl as Zach sneaks to go get the metal.
"HMPH! Well, this is protected by one of my friends." She whistles harshly, and I hear a howl.
"Lycanthropes." Zach whispers. He gets behind me, and I hold my dagger ready. He doesn't have a silver weapon, but I do. Wolves snarl and start to circle us.
"Zach, give me your splint." I command. He takes off his splint made of metal and gives it to me. I rip off some of his shirt and I turn my feathers into flames. I yank a feather out and tie it to the splint with the shirt. I hand him the torch, and we face off the wolves. One attacks, and I whack it away with my flaming wing. Another leaps at the same time, so I stab it with my dagger, and it melts into black goop. Some start to shrink away, while others still stand tall. They keep attacking until there is four left. The largest one morphs into a beefy human.
"Lycaon." I hiss, setting my whole body on fire.
"Daughter of Sky and Magic. You will be doomed to fail on your mission if you stay with this boy. Your powers will be amplified if you leave this boy, but you won't. I will be happy to see you in Tartarus." He growls, and I am tired of this. I drop my dagger and raise my hand. The dagger flies like an arrow and pierces all of the remaining lycanthropes. It returns, and I turn to see the nymph cowering behind her rock. We quickly find the metal and head back to the ship.
An hour later, we are back in full operation and sailing to Troy.
