This is the chapter we all been waiting for. The chapter right before the start of the quest, I think. Matters how much I decide to write. But that doesn't matter. Hope you like it!

Chapter 3

The last few days, I've been watching Percy and I noticed that he felt and ashamed and embarrassed by Tyson and that made me burn in anger. I just wanted to go up to him, wack him upside his head, and make him apologize, but I decided to let him be like that. Maybe in the future, he'd see the true talent of Tyson.

As an honorary member of the camp, I wasn't allowed to join the chariot games, because I was too powerful and might hurt someone.

I could care less, I had a lot on my mind. I still had to find a way to get underneath Hawaii so I could find out what that omen meant. Maybe if I took Percy and Tyson with me. I shook my head. Tantalus would never let them out of camp.

I was walking by the canoe lake when I heard Annabeth and Percy arguing. Curious, I hid in a tree and listened.

"He is not! What have you got against Cyclopes, anyway?"

"Just forget it," she said. "Now, the axle for this chariot-"

"You're treated him like he's this horrible thing!" Percy interrupted. Kinda contradicting yourself Percy. "He saved my life."

Annabeth threw down her pencil and stood. "Then maybe you should design the chariot with him."

"Maybe I should."

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

Annabeth stormed, leaving Percy looking like he lost everybody he knew.

A couple days later, and I noticed that Percy and Annabeth weren't talking anymore. Scarfing down my meal, I raced over to the arena to practice against some campers. Some Apollo kids tried to spar with me, but they didn't last very long. I decided to spar with Clarisse, hoping for a good fight.

She was good, better than most campers, but it was clear that I was superior to her in sword fighting.

A day later and I was sitting in the stands with the audience, bored out of my mind. I saw Percy trying to talk to Annabeth, but it was obvious that she was still irritated with him.

As he was walking back to his chariot, I saw him look up at forest trees worriedly. I followed his gaze, noticing that the pigeons were screeching like crazy, making the whole forest rustle.

I narrowed my eyes before walking over to Tantalus. "Hey. Don't you see that there is something wrong with those birds over there?" I pointed towards the forest.

He looked a me with disdain. "There is nothing wrong with those birds. They probably just saw something alarming or something."

I shook my head. "The chariot races must not continue. Someone can get hurt. I telling you those are just pigeons."

"And I'm telling you, Jackson, that nothing is wrong with those birds." He turned to the charioteers. "Charioteers! Attend to your mark!"

I growled under my breath and walked away form Tantalus. This camp is doomed if Chiron isn't proven innocent.

I walked own the stairs, the whole time keeping my eyes on the birds. As I got closer I noticed that their beaks glinted strangely and their eyes seemed shinier than regular birds.

I walked to my tower and closed the door. I sat on the couch thinking, before I heard screaming. I jumped up and raced outside to see the pigeons swarming and attacking the audience. I looked closer and noticed that they weren't pigeons. They were Stymphalian birds.

I screamed. "Everybody cover your ears!"

Hoping they heard me, I changed into my hellhound form. With red vines and swirls all of my body, I was a hellhound with black eyes, bigger than any hellhound in the world.

I took a deep breath and roared, drawing the attention of the Stymphalian birds. Immediately, I changed back into human form and activated my bow. Grabbing a sound arrow, I waited until all the birds were racing towards me.

I took a deep breath and shot it into the cloud of death-birds. It immediately blow up in the middle of the cloud killing most of the birds by pure sound.

The rest flew off in fright, hoping to get away, but they were shot down by some of the Apollo cabin.

The camp was saved, but the amount of debris was crazy. Chariots were destroyed to the point of no fixing, the stands were destroyed and almost all the campers were injured.

"Bravo!" Tantalus said, but he wasn't looking at me. "We have our first winner!" We walked over to the finish line and awarded the golden laurels for the race to the stunned-looking Clarisse.

Then he turned to me. "And now to punish the troublemaker who disrupted the race."

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been updating in awhile. A lot of school and I'm fixing up my house and stuff, but I hope you like it! R&R!
