Chapter 34: Team Poseidon

Camp Half Blood

Percy's POV

"I'm going to get my son." Poseidon said, but before he could leave I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Dad, you're not going without us." I said. Theseus nodded in agreement. Before anyone else could say anything we disappeared into a brilliant light and the next thing I knew we were standing on the rocky shore of Lake Champlain. The lake itself was huge, but the water was a dark and glassy green color. I could tell that it was very deep in places and would be hard to see underwater.

"Percy, do you remember where this cabin was?" Poseidon asked.

"It was definitely on this side of the lake and it was in a large forested area." I said. That didn't narrow it down much.

"Review the images in your head, use your abilities to focus." Theseus said. I reviewed the images and stopped at the aerial view of the cabin and its surroundings. I used my abilities to slow down the visual memory frame by frame so I could analyze distinct aspects of the images. I saw a two-lane road off to the west of the cabin it was about a half mile from the cabin. The lake was only a hundred yards from the cabin itself. I focused more closely on the road and about a mile up the roadway was a street sign that said Ticonderoga eight miles.

"The cabin is only about eight or nine miles from Ticonderoga, New York." I said. Poseidon and Theseus grabbed my arm and we disappeared and then abruptly reappeared near the road sign that I had seen. We walked down the road for about a mile until I saw a smile driveway that was made of gravel, it was unmarked, but somehow I knew this was the place. "This is it." My dad and Theseus looked at the driveway curiously.

"Are you sure this is it?" Theseus asked.

"Yes, I know it is." I said. We walked down the driveway until we saw the cabin we were about to enter the cabin when we heard three pairs of large wings flapping. We looked up to see Alecto with her whip in hand, her sisters Tisiphone and Megaera. Tisiphone had a celestial bronze bow and arrows, while Megaera had a set of twenty celestial bronze throwing daggers.

"I see the sea god and his brats have arrived to free Triton, it's too bad that we cannot allow that." Alecto said as she extended her whip in our direction. Poseidon held out his trident, Theseus had is sword and club ready and I grabbed Riptide. Alecto tried to hit my father with her whip, Poseidon created a whirlwind in front of her and the whip extended around her. When the whirlwind finally died down, Alecto laid on the ground with her whip tied around her tightly.

"I think my brother would like to see you." Poseidon said. A dagger flew toward my father Theseus caught it and in one motion threw it back toward Megaera. The dagger hit here clean in the forehead, she burst into golden dust almost immediately. Tisiphone screamed and the windows of the log cabin exploded. She grabbed a metal whistle from around her neck and blew it. Suddenly something exploded out of the lake and landed on the shore only fifty yards from the cabin. Once the mist from the lake dissipated we saw the creature. Standing before us was the largest drakon I had ever seen. It looked like the water drakon that Theseus had fought a few years ago except this thing had to be at least three times as big. It stood on four legs that extended from its sides like an alligator. Its body was at least two hundred feet long and from its feet to the top of its massive head it was at least fifty feet tall. My father extended his trident and fired the blast hit the creature in the head and the monster was forced back to the edge of the lake. Once the creature entered the water fully it held its ground and seemed to grow stronger. Poseidon was clearly weakening under the strain. Theseus flew forward into the air, but before he could hit the creature with his club the drakon turned and hit Theseus with its tail. Theseus flew through the air and hit the forest knocking down fifty or sixty trees in the process. I was going to check on my brother, but the drakon aimed for my father, I knew I had to distract it. I aimed and threw Riptide as hard as I could. The sword flew straight and true and embedded itself in the left eye of the creature. The drakon screamed and began flailing its tail in all directions. I grabbed my father and took him to the cabin where I found Triton unconscious and tied up. I knew this battle was up to me now. Two gods were down, how was I going to defeat this creature? Then something inside of me urged me to go to the lake. I left the cabin avoiding the massive tail of the drakon, I jumped into the water and swam to the bottom of the lake. Once there my mind cleared and I knew what I had to do. I concentrated and my body dissolved into the water. I willed the water in the lake to join with me.

Theseus's POV

I crawled out of the forest that was the hardest I had ever been hit and that's saying something. I couldn't stand up so I crawled to the cabin. I saw Triton unconscious and tied up with my father was lying next to him completely exhausted. Suddenly I heard a loud noise that sounded like a flood of water flowing into the air. I crawled outside and what I saw left me awestruck. The massive drakon was facing the lake and standing in the water in front of the monster was a man made out of water. The waterman was at least eighty feet tall and then I realized this thing had to be Percy. How in the name of Zeus was he able to do this, I thought? The drakon struck him with its tail, but it passed clean through the water giant's body. The body reformed once the strike was complete. This sent the water drakon into a frenzy it rushed forward and used its massive head to push into the water giant's chest. The creature opened its mouth as if on cue the water giant turned into a jet of water that entered the drakon's open mouth. The entire body of the giant dissolved into the jet of water and entered the body of the drakon. The drakon turned toward the cabin and for a minute I thought it would attack, but it didn't. The drakon just stood there, I felt my father's hand on my shoulder. He had crawled to my side and we were both looking at the spectacle before us. The drakon was about to open its mouth when the body of the beast began to glow with a dark green color and then suddenly changed to a liquid. The drakon was now made of water, the features of the drakon dissolved into a large wave of water that rushed back into the lake. The water of the lake swirled into a massive whirlpool that nearly reached from one side of the lake to the other. The whirlpool began to slow until the lake was calm and still. The dark waters shined in the late afternoon sunlight. My father and I fell back against the wall of the cabin staring toward the water. Suddenly a small wave of about four or five feet rushed toward the shore and hit the rocky beach. When the water receded the beach was exposed, but that wasn't the part that interested me. Lying on the beach in tattered clothes was my brother, Percy. Poseidon and I willed ourselves to heal enough to walk to the beach. We reached Percy's side and I turned him over. He was alive and breathing slowly. My father and I both exhaled loudly as a wave of relief set over us.

"Percy, Percy please wake up." My father said as he shook Percy slowly. Percy's eyes suddenly opened and he stared at both of us with a completely bewildered look on his face.

"Wha.. wha.. what happened?" Percy stuttered. I told Percy all about his fight with the drakon and what he did to defeat it.

"I don't remember anything at all. The last thing I do remember was hitting the thing in the eye with Riptide." Percy said.

"I don't know how you did it my boy, but you beat that monster, thank you. That creature could have given Typhon a run for his money." Poseidon said. I couldn't have agreed more since I had fought Typhon with some help form Oranos years ago.

"Where's the last Fury?" Percy asked.

"She probably escaped during the fight and it looks like she took Alecto with her, but at least one sister was sent to the underworld, I'm sure my brother is happy about that." Poseidon said. "Triton, he's in the cabin." My father walked to the cabin as fast as his weary legs could take him. I looked at Percy.

"Go ahead help dad, I'm ok." Percy said as he sat up wearily. I walked toward the cabin when I entered I saw my father untying Triton.

"How is he?" I asked concerned.

"He's alive, but beat up pretty bad. Help me get him to the lake." Poseidon said. My father and I carried Triton to the lake and all three of us walked into it. Each of us began to glow and the water healed our wounds and restored our energy. Triton opened his eyes and he gestured for us to let him stand. He stood up carefully and smiled at us, my father and I engulfed him in a bear hug. The three of us walked back toward the shore arm in arm. Percy smiled when he saw us he was still sitting on the beach exhausted.

"Good to see you alive and well Tri." Percy said. Triton smiled back in return.

"Thanks to you from what I hear." Triton said. Percy smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"It was nothing you wouldn't do for me in return." Percy said. I left my father to help Triton as I grabbed Percy under his shoulder and lifted him to his feet. The four of us dissolved into a brilliant blue and gold light. When we reappeared we were on the beach at Camp Half Blood. Sitting on the sand waiting for us were Athena, Annabeth and Calypso. All three smiled brightly when they saw us. Athena ran toward me and gave me a hug while Annabeth did the same to Percy. My father let go of Triton, Calypso walked toward my brother and they just stared at each other in wonder. They walked toward each other until they were only a foot apart. Calypso suddenly jumped into Triton's arms and hugged him tightly. I could see tears flow down Calypso's cheeks as she hugged my little brother. I motioned for all of us to leave. Percy was already passed out by the time we left the beach. Triton needed to be alone with his lady. As we left the beach I turned and looked back toward them. Triton and Calypso were kissing passionately. I turned to my father and put a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to look me in the eyes, he gave me a questioning look. I motioned toward the beach and the two kissing immortals. A wide smile crept across his face.

"Dad, it looks like you'll have another daughter soon enough." I said. Poseidon began to laugh as we turned and walked back toward the big house.

Calypso and Triton together at last. More to come!
