Percy POV

According to Annabeth, we landed in Hollywood. I really don't want to meet Hades here. As I was thinking that, roar sliced my thoughts. I turned around and uncapped Riptide.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's the Nemean Lion!" Annabeth replied.

I mentally smacked myself.

               Of course the Fates would send one of the most dangerous, hard-to-kill monsters when me and Annabeth were together. Last time, I was saving Annabeth when I crossed the tiger. I set out my senses.

"Uhhh... Annabeth? This doesn't seem Norse!" Magnus yelled.

"It's Greek! You can only kill it through its mouth. Last time, it died of ice cream." I replied. "Magnus will distract it. Alex and Sam can try to bound it. I'll try to stuff a branch in it. Then, Annabeth can-"

"PERCY! WATCH OUT!" I heard Annabeth scream.

                 I felt something big smack me across the chest. I heard a few ribs break. I gritted my teeth. I could sense the tiger lunging at me, with its mouth open. I quickly grabbed a branch beside me and inserted the thing into the tiger's mouth vertically. I could still feel the hot breath pouring at my face. I made a mental note to check my nose afterwards, because the stench is overwhelming. I'm not even going to try to describe it, in case you might puke.

                Anyways, I was just about to stuff Riptide down its throat when a powerful paw scratched my chest with a lot of force. I reached up to feel my chest and an agonizing pain erupted.

"PERCY!" Annabeth screamed.

              I sensed the lion lunging at Sam. Sam stuffed her axe down the lion's throat. Then, the lio fell down dead. A few mortals started screaming, probably seeing the lion for the first time. Sirens roared in the distance.

"C'mon! Magnus, your banana!" I hurried them and then realized there wasn't any body of water around us.

"No time to loose! Percy, can you vapor travel us?" Alex asked. Oh yeah. I told them about my ability before.

"I could try." I gritted my teeth.

              I could feel my body turning into vapour. Then, the pain in my chest erupted again. I groaned and tried again. This time, I ignored the pain and felt myself traveling onto my island.

             When we all landed there safely, I did the most logical thing. I collapsed. I guess being a new einherjar takes practice.
