Chapter 23
POV Gareth (Son of Trivia)
I let the mist fall off of the rest of the Romans, all of the healers from the Apollo cabin and Trivia cabin rush towards the Praetors. Eboni seems to be doing fine, she's trying to slap away some Apollo healers. The monsters seem to almost retreat for a few minutes as the Camp rallies behind their fallen Praetor. Janice is lying on the ground, blood pooling on her shirt.
"Janice!" People are pushing through the line to help her.
"The Blood of Olympus has fallen! The earth mother rises!" Hyperion shouts with glee.
And it's true, the earth seems to be rising from there. A woman stands there, she has glowing gold eyes, and seems to be looking menacingly at us. "Romans! Fall back!" Eboni shouts and the Romans flee. There isn't a shred of organization in the Romans as they all run towards boats in the harbor. We need to get to New York to help the Greeks and fast.
I dash in between monsters and fleeing demigods and get to where Janice is lying on the ground. Everyone forgot about her. I grab her and start pulling her towards one of the Romans' boats. The monsters and things just stand there, watching the Romans flee. Then I realize why. There are less than one hundred Romans left, and that is being optimistic.
I am in a speed boat, and I barely even know how to use one. I don't start it for a little while, for I would probably run into a Roman. Thanks to Neptune, the seas are somewhat calm, but are drifting us fast. About halfway there, I crouch on the floor and begin to pour little bits of magic into Janice, hoping that she would stay with me until we got to Olympus. "Gareth?" Janice asks in confusion when I can just start to see the shorelines of New York coming into view.
"You're okay, Janice," I say lightly, steering the boat into the harbor, and that's when she sees the giant red stain on her shirt.
She starts to hyperventilate a little bit, and I hand her a sack from the side of the boat and handing it to her. When we dock, I kneel down and put my hands on her stomach, leaking magic into the wound, preserving her life for a little while longer. He hauls her out of the boat, and it is pitch black outside by that time. I steer her toward the empire state building, where a few straggling Romans are standing in the doorway. I get her into the elevator and press the 500 button. We are rocketed up immediately, and we see a crowd of Camp Half-Blood campers standing there.
"I need a doctor!" I shout. I see a bunch of Apollo kids run at me and take her.
"What happened to her?" Someone says, his face ghostly pale. Janice moans, as they put a salve over the wound.
"Stabbed by Hyperion," I say and they all turn to face me.
POV Asher (Son of Athena, Head of Athena Cabin)
It takes forever to fall to Tartarus, and it doesn't help the whole way down you know you have to fight Arachne when you get to the bottom. As we fall, I hold onto Jezebelle closely, she is really cold, the poison is already working. "Jezebelle." I whisper in her ear as I see Tartarus come into view.
"Asher." Jezebelle says, looking around at our surroundings. She snuggles in close to me and I gulp as I see the massive spider below. I guess it won't be as hard as I thought. I put my sword below me, and it goes straight into the massive spider.
It lets out a gurgling sound, and I hear Jezebelle's legs crack once we get to the ground. She lets out a scream and I say, "Shh…shh." I drag her away from the spider, and we lie on the dead ground.
I decide to make camp there for the night, and I make a make-shift tent out of dead grass and things, dead, blackened sticks and dead animals. I position Jezebelle in one side of the tent, and me on the other side. I lie there, thinking about how we could possibly get out of here.
