Nothing is more refreshing than falling down seven thousand feet from a flying plane with no parachute and right above the ocean.
The flight attendants were nice enough to throw me off board knowing that I will survive the fall.
The tickets that Hemera gave us were a scam. The tickets were real and it was a private flight. The crews weren't human though, the crews were a group of what I described as really odd trolls.
Lisa and Matt were the most excited one when they find out that we're flying private, and the plane was huge. Sixty foot wide and eighteen foot tall, it was painted like a normal typical white grayish plane.
It started out okay with Lisa and Matt running from one end to another inside the plane. Calypso followed them as well, she was curious with the design and how does plane work. Thalia was scared out of her mind when we took off while Annabeth was seriously thinking about something.
My thought was filled with my brothers, all five of them. I never thought that I have that many brothers, demi-god brothers.
I fell asleep for a while and when I woke up, I thought that we had arrived but we had not. When I looked at my watch, five hours have already passed and then I knew immediately that the plane was not heading for Los Angles, also that we were above the ocean when I looked outside of the window.
Everyone was asleep when I realized that something was terribly wrong and when I tried to wake Annabeth, she didn't budge at all.
The crew came swarming up from behind me and grabbed me almost immediately, I had no time to react. They had me and they opened the door. Heavy wind rushed in and the sound of what it felt like an explosion in the air can be heard, but even with that, Annabeth and the others did not wake up.
I fell from many places into the water below before, but seven thousand feet must be a new record for me. I'm sure that the water won't harm me but there's a small feeling inside of me that says I'm going to die. Wind brushes my face and I can barely see anything with all the wind hitting my eyes.
Finally I hit the water and it doesn't hurt one bit, or it can also be that I just died when I hit the water.
It was like falling two foot into a pillow, the water is soft and it fuels me with power at that moment.
The rush is incredible, being with that much water but all of the sudden something grabbed my foot and dragged me down. It feels like I'm being dragged by a race car, it's getting faster and faster by seconds. If an underwater race car exists, that would be the most logical explanation of what is dragging me down right now. Not that an underwater race car is logical.
I try to look at that something that is dragging me down but there is almost nothing there, the closest that I can figure is that it's a group of bubbles forming in a weird manner and is currently wrapping my leg.
The surrounding gets darker by minutes; we're getting deeper and deeper until finally its pitch black. I can't see a thing but that something keeps dragging me down and it is still not stopping.
A bright light comes shining to me, it is not from above but the exact opposite, it comes from below.
I could see shining rocks everywhere that brighten up the place like the sun is actually shining here.
I hear the horns of war and the roaring and yelling of thousands of mermens. It's like watching a football match, a team is fighting with another team. One side is the blue mermens and the other side is gray mermens and instead of playing with a ball, they're killing each other with sword and spear. All of them are well equipped with a breastplate, shield and some are wearing war helmets.
The bubble drops me on side of the warzone. If this warzone is a field for football players, than I would be where the bench players are.
I noticed that the blue mermens are losing and they are outnumbered as well. A lot of the blue mermens fall to the ground and the gray ones are advancing.
Three of the gray ones suddenly spot me and they come straight to me. One of the gray ones charges me with a spear. I draw and click Riptide and it changes into a sword. I parry the spear but the other two mermens are already on my left and right side. They are coordinated well.
The two mermens stab me with their spear and they knock me ten foot from where I was standing. I stand up and watch as the three mermens charge at me again. My footing is messed up, and my only thought is that I'm going to get hit again.
A figure stand in front of me all of the sudden, he swings his spear in a diagonal way and slays a mermen instantly, the other two barely dodge. The spear is a trident and for a moment, I thought I saw my father.
It wasn't my father, the person that is standing before me is a green mermen.
The green mermen raises his trident and charges after one of the gray mermens, the gray mermen is attempting to block the attack by raising his spear but the trident goes through the block and it slash the gray mermen alongside his spear into two pieces.
The last gray merman runs away from us. The green merman raises his trident one more time and he throws it, it goes straight to the gray merman's belly. The gray merman becomes dust and the trident goes back to the green merman.
The green merman set his gaze on me and then I recognize him, even though we have only met once. My god-brother, Triton.
