I'm ashamed to what I'm about to tell you.
Apparently it took me 7 months to finally remember my account and my password.
I'm so sorry and I'm in fact, very much embarrassed
But I assure you, I will never forget my password again.
Oh, some of you told me that it's hard to read with a single space line, so now I'm erasing the line.
If you prefer the the single space line, do tell me and I will change it back the way it was.
But if you prefer this one, that I will not change it.
Once again, I am so sorry... I failed as a writer T_T
Hope you guys can forgive me.
Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
I keep running and running, and I didn't stop.
Camp half-blood is finally in sight, and I could see hundreds of the earth spawns that I just fought everywhere.
The camp is in a shamble, every camper there is fighting the earth spawns.
Chiron and Artemis are supposed to be there. How can they let the camp get attacked?
They it struck my mind; few hours ago Chiron was accompanying Artemis to Olympus.
No wonder the camp is so defenseless.
I ran, looking for any sign of Annabeth and Thalia.
I'm sure Annabeth and Thalia can handle everything just fine, but I'm still worried. Especially since Calypso is there, I'm not sure if she can fight regardless her status as the daughter of Atlas.
You can't just picture her taking a sword and slicing the butter out of the enemies.
She looks so fragile and innocent (I'm glad Annabeth can't read my mind right now.)
I keep looking for them, and I'm worried sick since the fire is getting larger and larger, camp half-blood is officially torched.
Finally, I saw Annabeth are fighting the earth spawns back-to-back with Thalia near my cabin, but the earth spawns are outnumbering them, soon it'll be too much for them to handle.
I took Riptide out of my pocket, clicked it, and quickly I aided Thalia and Annabeth.
I stabbed an earth spawn from the back, it turn to dust and vines.
Annabeth slit the throat of an earth spawn, quickly it became dust and vines.
'Percy!' called Annabeth.
We gathered around back-to-back. Sadly, I thought that adding me to the defending group would even the odds, but it doesn't change anything, the earth spawns are still surrounding us and are still outnumbering us.
'What are they?' Asked Thalia.
'More importantly, how did they penetrate the camp barrier?'
'You'll be thrilled to know who's in charge for letting these guys in.' I muttered.
Annabeth and Thalia stared at me with a big question mark on their face.
'I'll tell you all about it later. Where's Calypso? Is she okay?' I asked.
'She's fine, Matt took her to safety.' Thalia answered.
'Matt is really useful when there's a pretty girl involved, don't you think?' I commented.
An earth spawn charged forward to Annabeth, swinging its arm, Annabeth ducked and sliced both of the earth spawn knees and I struck the throat almost immediately.
'I'm fine too Percy, thanks for asking. Your concern for your girlfriend over a really pretty girl is touching.' Annabeth grumbled.
Another spawn approached me, instead of ducking, evading or blocking, I take two steps forward and struck its chest with my Riptide. I pulled Riptide from his chest and quickly chopped its head off.
Dust and vines again it becomes.
'That's not what I meant.'
'Do explain what you meant Percy. I'm very curious in what you meant' Said Annabeth being sarcastic.
Another spawn closing in on Thalia, it's trying to hit her, but Thalia parries it with Aegis. Then Thalia jump and stab the back of the creature head. It turns to dust and vines in an instant.
'I'm really sorry to interrupt your lover quarrels, but do you realize that we ARE SURROUNDED BY WOOD FORM KILLERS!'
'Thalia's right. We'll continue this later.' Said Annabeth.
'There's gonna be a later discussion?'
'You don't take anything seriously, do you Percy?' Said Annabeth annoyed.
'I AM taking this seriously.' I defended myself.
'For crying out loud! The wood killers are not gonna wait to listen to your problems!'
Sure enough, the earth spawns charged to us all at once.
I'm a bit distracted by Annabeth, but these guys aren't so tough. So it wasn't that hard to beat them.
I slash and hack, kick, stomp, dozens of earth spawns turned to dust by us.
But no matter how much we destroyed, they keep coming and coming.
Slowly, we're starting to have a really hard time. There's probably a hundred that we've already killed, but their numbers doesn't seem to lessen at all.
I'm starting to lose my breath, so is Annabeth and Thalia.
I'm pretty much invincible as long as they don't strike my Achilles heel, but Annabeth and Thalia aren't.
This is starting to get bad.
'There's no end to them.' Said Thalia, panting heavily.
'Anyone… *pant* regretted that they didn't take a dip in Styx like me?'
'That is… *pant* so not funny… *pant* Jackson.'
'I know… *pant* Just keeping the moral high.'
I watch Annabeth, she's catching her breath calmly, but I know she's struggling for air inside.
Annabeth is not saying anything, she's conserving her strength.
'Probably we should do what Annabeth do... *pant* Less talking and more breathing.' I suggested.
'Good idea.' Said Thalia.
I know that we can only catch our breath for a moment, the earth spawns is encircling us, probably looking for a good opportunity to strike.
'With the little amount of time we got to rest and the amount of the spawns, I say we're doom if we don't get any help soon.'
'That's exactly the kind of talk we need to keep our moral high Percy.' Said Annabeth.
'What are you gonna do then Jackson? Scream for help like a little girl?'
I glared at Thalia for a minute, but I turned my attention back to the earth spawns.
'Less talking, more breathing.'
The earth spawns seems to be in their formation, they stopped moving around and some of them are crouching like they're going to leap towards us.
'I think they're going to attack.' Said Thalia.
'What's your first clue?' I asked.
The earth spawns charged forward and we were ready to defend what's left of us.
But then suddenly grape vines appear from the ground, gripping all of the earth spawns and crushing them into tiny bits.
All of them turn back to dust and vines.
Only one person or rather, one god that is capable of doing this.
Walking leisurely from the sky is Mr. D; he's walking in mid-air and down to the ground.
Never in my life have I ever been so happy to see Mr. D.
In fact, the three of us have never been so relief to see Mr. D.
Relief flooded my entire body replacing all the adrenaline, and because of that, in an instance I fell on the ground, sitting there watching Mr. D as he walk to the ground.
Thalia and Annabeth did the same thing, I guess they're just as relief as I am.
His feet is finally on the ground, he gaze upon the burning camp and turned his attention to me.
'Look at what you've done to the camp, Henry.' Said Mr. D.
'Percy, and I'm not the one who let the spawns in.'
'I know that Larry, but this thing happen because of your half-brother… But you did manage to defend the camp and surviving for so long, so I suppose I won't punish you.'
I smiled, 'It's good to see you again Mr. D.'
Mr. D sighed, but I could've sworn I saw a faint smile on his face.
'Come along now you three, I got news. But first, clean all of this mess, will you?' Said Mr. D
