So, we found an area of the beach that was secluded. Percy whispered something in Annabeth's ear and se started climbing up the narrow path the the top of the seacliff.

Percy frowned, obviously concentrating hard. Then, a pillar of water began to rise above the surf. Five feet, ten feet, fifteen feet, until it stood twenty feet tall. Then, it formed itself into the shape of a hand and waved at Magnus.

"Wow," I breathed. I turned to Percy and started asking him all kinds of questions about what he could do. He answered me distractedly, but it was obvious his focus was on something else. "What are you doing?" I asked him. He grinned and looked at the surf. I turned and looked too and noticed the waves were smaller, but nothing else was amiss. "What?" I asked again.

"This," he replied as a huge wave sprang forth.

The wave didn't break like the others did. Apparently, Percy had been holding back the tide, building up the pressure to douse me with saltwater. Luckily, The water that crashed around me seemed to hold me in place, and when I ran out of air, In discovered there was a bubble around my head allowing me to breathe. Almost like the Bubblehead Charm in Harry Potter, I thought to myself.

When the water finally washed away, Percy stood there laughing out loud, completely dry, while I was soaked to the bone. I looked up at the cliffs and realized Annabeth was laughing at me, too.

At first I was mad. Why in Helheim would they play a trick on me like that? It was stupid and childish. Then I thought about it. It really was pretty funny.

So I joined the son of Poseidon and the daughter of Athena in their laughter, and there we stood. Three insanely different demigods laughing at a stupid prank. And even then I thought, I'm glad these two are on my side.

Of course, I had no idea how dangerous they really were.

PS: So, this is the last chapter so far. Like I said earlier, I'm probably going to discontinue it now, but perhaps not...
