-Alyssa-

Once the second shield dropped, Amos looked rugged, almost leaning against his staff as his breath became heavy. Nevertheless, he still refused to show it, almost pissing me off. In the excitement of her upcoming award, Sekhmet did a fantastic job keeping the giants wanting to attack me at a good distance.

"Enough!" The largest giant's voice roared over us. "Focus on the earthy magician! Swat the others away," he instructed as he stood up from the ground again.

"You're quite popular today," Amos commented, sweat beading his forehead.

"Then we can focus on the Gods and their children. That girl restricts Gaia. Get her!" He pointed his spear towards me.

Thankfully, the giants were still being distracted by the demigods and magicians working even harder to keep them at bay. With the exception of this big guy. His eyes were focused on me alone, swatting a few Russian magicians out of the way. "Carter!" Jason screamed out. "Porphyrion is your bane, focus on him!"

A little ways out, Sekhmet managed to bring down a giant and lap up his blood. Once I took that in, she suddenly stopped and screamed. "Well, I was hoping she would be of more help," Amos sighed irritably as she transformed into Hathor, sleeping on top of the giant before disappearing.

"You planned for her lust of blood?" I took in the thought, after being quite angry that our Chief Lector would even go so low as to bring out such a maniac.

Amos didn't reply, instead he struggled to lift his staff and slammed it into the ground again. My eyes widened as I took in a spark of red magic emanating from his hand and shot around us to form an even stronger shield than the last two. I then took in that the large giant had made his way to us and tried to slam his feet on us, but the shield was strong enough to keep from breaking. It was starting to weaken when Jason and Carter finally got to him, distracting him from us finally.

I sighed in relief as Amos collapsed beside me. You can save him, one of her two voices started eagerly.

Panicking, I forced myself not to listen to her, refusing to give to the Goddess. I instead pulled Porphyrion's feet back into the earth. He sacrificed himself for a losing cause, how pathetic, she continued.

Upset and angered by the Goddess' hateful words, I went to roll Amos over. He was limp; drilling fear into me as I took in that his skin was steaming. Then Carter fell on his back ten feet away. I looked up to see that Porphyrion swatted Jason with his spear and went to grab me with his left hand. "Ignorant girl!" Vika's voice snarled as a blue shield blocked him. "Don't get distracted, that's what she wants."

"But Amos-" I started.

"Gave his life force for a good cause," she interrupted with strict eyes before slamming her staff into the ground, making it more solid under our feet.

My eyes widened to the sight, "You're an earth elementist too?"

"Keep quiet and focus on your responsibilities," Menshikov snarled, I took in that she planned to replace Amos in the fight. "Keep the earth stable for us. In fact, I suggest you yank these hideous things until they are neck deep if you can."

"I can barely get their feet under!" I complained.

"Then do the best you can, and stop whining!" She snapped.

Carter got to his feet again as I yanked the giant's feet back into a layer of mud. Vika responded with a wave of her hand, solidifying the mud just as quickly. "Dig out of that," she snapped.

Jason started summoning a storm around him, letting him levitate a bit over the ground. "I suggest you start using range Carter!" He warned.

I wasn't able to find Alyssa's last name. If anyone knows, that would be awesome! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
