![]() ![]() Piper bounced up to him with a concerningly feral grin and pressed a kiss to his cheek. More than a few stared at him with poorly concealed fear but Percy didn’t let it bother him. Most of the monsters were dead though, and the campers that were not currently engaging were quick to drag their most heavily injured siblings to safety. If by some poor stroke of luck he lost both of his weapons he needed some kind of backup. Percy summoned it back to him, letting it ring across his brow and freeze into place. As more water soaked into the monsters he had less to work with, until all that was left was a small ball the size of his fist. Sadly it was not a trick Percy could keep up for long. The fear and chaos spreading through their ranks was nearly enough to make him purr. But more and more Campers were able to move forward, forcing monsters back. He had to be careful, pushing most of his focus into making sure not a single drop fell onto a Half blood, that was why he hadn’t protested to being told to stay behind front lines. He smiled, more of a baring of teeth really, and swept the water in another direction. And for monsters without souls? They started to crumble, without even realizing what had happened. See the thing about the waters of the Styx, it drained souls. Many of them laughed at the first touch of water. He slowly twisted his wrist and the water swept through the legions of monsters. The Goddess had agreed easily enough once She realized what Percy would be doing in the battle. A special trip done by Nico- to go into the Underworld and beg the water from Styx. ![]() Four plumes of black water rose in the air. Percy clenched his fist and each of the jars shattered. There were four placed around that were different, marked with a thin band of blue around the neck of them. He bet the campers thought that all of the clay jars around the clearing were filled with Greek Fire. Instead he raised a single hand, the cold and dark coming to life within him. O’Leary-leaped out of the tunnel and barreled straight toward the satyrs. But more enemies just kept climbing out of the maze. Somehow he’d managed to climb onto the giant’s back and was hitting him on the head with a bronze shield-BONG! BONG! BONG! Chiron calmly aimed arrow after arrow, taking down a monster with every shot. He saw Annabeth whip Alitheia through the air and engage one of them. But the more that poured through the more of their traps that were used.Īrgus and Athena’s warriors rushed forward to meet them. It meant that the monsters had to fight their way free of the natural bottleneck before spreading out. The narrow opening of the maze was their saving grace really. Another triggered a trip wire, and pots of Greek fire exploded into green flames, engulfing several of the snake women. One got struck on the spikes and became an easy target for archers. ![]() ![]() Some hit the traps the Hephaestus cabin had laid. Dozens of arrows flew from behind him, turning the giants into pincushions and killing a few more.īut just when it looked like the Laistrygonians were about to get overwhelmed, the next wave surged out of the maze: thirty, maybe forty dracaenae in full battle armor, wielding spears and nets. A huge plume of fire took out another two in short order. One was killed, but the rest kept coming. They shattered across the chests of the dozen Laistrygonian giants that made up the front charge. It was the sound of the cannonballs Beckendorf had set up that shocked him back into reality. Surrounded by his friends and family and knowing that there was no way for them to win, knowing that he would never see most of them again. For a minute he wasn’t facing the first battle of Camp, but the last. Percy was… ashamed to admit that he froze. Then the Titan lords armies burst from underground. ![]()
