The Blood of Olympus (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Nico

All Nico saw for the next couple of minutes was feathers.

And worse than the feathers (yes it got worse) was the smell. And if the griffin gave him any more physical contact, he was gonna give that beast a god sized smack right in the face.

He could hear coach and Reyna's muffled protests as they were lifted into the air.

Nico was grabbed by talons and finally got a breath of fresh air.

They gasped as they were lifted higher and higher in the air.

"You better drop me or I'm gonna stick my bat-"coach started.

The rest of his sentence was cut off by Reyna.

"Nico!" She yelled. "Shadow travel over one of the griffins and take them out!"

"No problem!" Nico shouted back over the wind.

He concentrated on the his power. He reached deep within himself but it was useless.

He was just to weak.

"I can't do it!" he explained when Reyna put whatever parts of her arms she could move up in the air.

What felt after centuries the griffins swooped towards the ground.

What Nico saw almost gave him a heart attack.

The griffins must be really fast.

Because below them was a big arena.

The coliseum.
