Hey! So school, archery, the new one-shot ideas, and trying to stay committed with my other story, I neglected this one for a week or two. I'm sorry! :( Anyway, here is the new chapter! Enjoy
Instead of sliding off a rainbow into a pot of gold, the three of us landed on the drakon's head. Lovely.
Nico and Connor jumped off, knowing exactly how to fight, whereas I just sat there, trying to think—which, I should add, it horrible when you're fighting a monster. Never think just stab, because when I hesitated, I was flung off the ugly beast in a second.
"Ow!" I hissed, landing on my butt. I got up as quickly as I could. this was war and none of those nightmares would come true if I could help it.
"I'll grab the shrine!" Connor yelled. "Distract it!"
"No!" I dodged the drakon's attack every so slighting. "Nico! Shadow travel to the shrine and take it to camp!"
Without hesitation, Nico obeyed my orders and soon Connor and I were on our own.
The drakon moved from left to right, trying to kill us, but Connor and I kept mixing up our moves. This way, we could distract him until we thought of a better plan. He didn't want something bad to happen to me and I couldn't live without Connor.
I somehow landed on the drakon's back, where he couldn't attack me. holding on for dear life, I didn't want to shank the stupid monster. He reminded me of the monster Michael became…
Worst mistake of my life. When I let my guard down, the stupid monster flung Connor into a nearby tree. He didn't move.
I screamed at the top of my lungs until I felt a burning sensation all over my chest, pretty sure even Kronos heard me.
The drakon was still trying to get me off his back, but I held firm, bleeding from being clawed and thrown about. I reached for my stick and swung it above my head as it transformed into a spear. I caught the magical weapon as I slid off the beast's back, running to my friend.
Thank the gods, I smiled. I almost laughed at my luck. He just broke a few ribs. In a battle against a drakon, that was almost legendary. No one could hold out against a drakon like this.
The drakon was about to kill me with its poisonous venom, I used the shield of Achilles for the first time. Unlike others at camp, I felt right at home with these weapons. They felt just right in my hands and with surprisingly good aim, I threw the spear into the drakon's skull, turning it into golden monster dust.
I killed a monster.
Aw. The story is one chapter away from being finished. I'll start on it right now, I promise. I know you'll enjoy the final chapter
