Hera's POV
I trudged through the marshy lake area, looking for a place to shelter. That's when I noticed that Hades was also trudging through the muck towards me. I raised my blade defensively, but Hades only raised his hands and looked at me cautiously.
"What do you want?" I asked hesitantly.
"I want to form a Career pack… I was thinking you and Zeus…" He answered, but his voice cracked. He obviously hadn't had water for a while. He burst into a fit of coughing, doubling over and leaning against a stick that was protruding out of the mud. I carefully helped him over to the lake's edge, and took out my empty canteen. I tried to get some water into it, but when my hand touched the water, a bony arm grabbed me around the wrist immediately.
"Holy #$ %! It's the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince all over again!" I exclaimed (If you haven't read Harry Potter, this paragraph will have no meaning to you. Feel free to skip it). The Inferi tried to pull me under, I struggled but I couldn't get away. Suddenly an arrow sprouted out of the Inferi's arm. It's grasp loosened and I pulled free, shaking. I looked up and saw Zeus standing over me, smiling.
Hades' POV
"Thank gods you're here, Zeus. But How will we ever get water now?" Said Hera gratefully, but shaking with fright. I raised an eyebrow and took out my water bottle from my bag, took a swig, and offered some to the others. Hera looked at me, horrified. "You had water all this time?!"
"That I did, my dear Hera, that I did." I answered cheerfully.
Percy's POV
As nighttime fell, I saw the faces of those who had died. Zoe. So two demigods/Hunters down. I realized we needed to start picking off these gods, and fast.(If you haven't played the Legend of Zelda, this part has no meaning to you. Feel free to skip it) I took out my handy Legend of Zelda pipes and played The Song of the Birds, but changed it a little to make it the Song of the Demigods. I saw Thalia rush out of the forest, and Jason hurry over the mountain. In a few seconds, they stood at my feet. "Welcome, friends!" I cackled evilly. "It is time we take down those Olympians once and for all…." Thalia and Jason looked at me like I was insane. "What?" I asked, puzzled.
