Hello, I'm back.

You're probably wondering why I didn't update twice , today some friends of my mom visited, so I couldn't write. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry about disabling the anonymous reviews.

It's not fair to those who are actually nice.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson.

Book Five, The Last Olympian

Percy POV

How did the Nemean lion get here? (sorry, misspelled last chapter) And why was it soeasy to get rid of? Last time, I had to use freeze-dried food.

Thank goodness Mia isn't hurt. Wait, isn't the Nemean lion's skin impenetrable?

Uh-oh.

Mia POV

I was in the middle of being congratulated by the other campers when the Nemean lion made a return. I was confident that I could take it down, but it surprised me. My sword

just bounced off the coat like it was rubber.

Oh great! I remember Greek Mythology class. Only Hercules defeated it, well he didn'tdefeat it. He just subdued it.

Ahh, shucks.

Annabeth POV

Nothing is ever too easy. The Nemean lion shouldn't happened been so easy to vaporized.

Two seconds later, my suspicions were confirmed. The Nemean lion had come back.

Melanie POV

I was hit by a bunch of thoughts. All of them were along the lines of The Nemean lion shouldn't have been so easy to vaporize!

Then the Nemean lion made a comeback.

Percy POV

I got out Riptide. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mia mirror me with her own sword.

I remembered the Nemean lion's only weak spot. Its mouth!

"Mia, its mouth !" I shouted.

I hoped she got the message.

The Hunters shot some arrows into its mouth. That just made the lion madder. I aimed my sword just right, and aimed it just right. Then I threw it like a javelin. I sawMia copy my move

after I did it. Both of our swords combined did it. The Nemean lion was vaporized.

I turned around.

"WHO SUMMONED THE LION?" I roared.

Nympadora POV

We all jumped about five feet after Percy screamed. We hadn't realized someone had to summon the lion. Who could have summoned it? I hope it wouldn't be another Kronos or

a Kronos wannabe.

Mia POV a few hours later

"Mia, you are going on a quest. Go to the Oracle. If she approves it, we will tell you what it is about. If she doesn't, we will tell you anyway, and you will go on the quest, but

guided by someone else. The Oracle's name is Rachel. She is a close friend of Percy's, so do try to be nice." said Chiron.

He was referring to that time I almost killed a girl at school for teasing me and hinting at something unmentionable about my mom. ( I'll explain what that is later.)

Percy showed me the way. On the way , he told me, "Be nice. Rachel is really cool, but if you're mean to her, I have no choice but to fight you to the death, even if you are my l'il

sis."

After that cheery monologue, he pushed me into a purple room with the lights turned off.
