POV: Annabeth
This is what I get for sleeping in. A dragon attack. I've fought titans, drakons, giants, hellhounds, and other demigods, but never a dragon.
I grabbed my drakon bone sword and ran out of the cabin to the upper deck. The first thing I saw was the dragon. His armour was so dark, it seemed to suck the light out of the air, and the life out of everyone.
I glanced around, and saw Frank shouting and attacking the dragon with his bow. He turned towards me for just a brief second, but I saw his expression. He was terrified, full of worry masked with him trying to look brave. He'd thought we'd lost. I frowned, and clenched my fists.
Leo was trapped under the main mast, so Hazel was helping him up. Percy was hitting the dragon with Riptide while riding a wave, while Piper was trying to charmspeak it and shoot duck and ham out of her cornucopia.
I grabbed a handful of Greek Fire vials and chucked them at the dragons wings, trying to force it to land. I missed. So yeah, anyway…
The dragon turned to Frank and spoke in a language I'd never heard of before.
"FO KRAH DIIN!" Shards of ice shot out of the dragons mouth, heading straight for Franks chest, but changed course and hit the deck behind him.
I looked and Jason flying around, manipulating the wind. Percy gathered all the water he could muster and encased the dragons head. He used to wave to drop himself back to the deck.
Leo, finally out from under the mast, ran up and shot fire at the dragon. He had a pained look on his face, and was limpi- OH GODS LEGS REALLY DON'T BEND THAT WAY!. The fire, instead of boiling the water, trapped the water around his head, not letting him move.
The dragon looked defeated for a moment and then paused, as if to think. Slowly the dragon brought it's wings together, and shot into the air, breaking out of the bubble.
"Zu Alduin Fas Lein Ahrk Zu Pent Lost! I am Alduin, the World Eater, and I will have my revenge!"
The dragon, Alduin, took off to the same direction we were headed. Athens.
"Great." I muttered, "Now we've got HIM to deal with."
