━chapter one, ❝hazel levesque's life fucking sucks!❞ 『H A Z E L』
☆
━━━During the third attack, Hazel almost gets skewered by a fucking boulder. She is peering into the fog, wondering how it could be so difficult to fly across one stupid fucking mountain range when the ship's alarm bells sound.
"Hard to port!" yells Nico from the foremast of the flying ship.
Back at the helm, Leo yanks the wheel. The Argo II veers left, its aerial oars slashing through the clouds like rows of knives. Hazel makes the mistake of looking over the rail. A dark spherical shape hurtles toward her. She thinks, stupidly, Why is the moon coming toward us?
Then she yells and hits the deck. The huge rock passes so close overhead that it blows her hair out of her face.
CRACK! The foremast collapses━sail, spars, and Nico all crashing to the deck. The boulder, the size of a pickup truck, tumbles off into the fog as though it has other business elsewhere.
"Nico!" Hazel scrambles over to him as Leo brings the ship level.
"I'm fine," mutters Nico, kicking folds of the canvas off his legs.
She helps him up, and they stumble to the bow. Hazel peers over more carefully this time. The clouds part just long enough to reveal the top of the mountain below them: a spearhead of black rock jutting from mossy green slopes. Standing at the summit is a mountain god━one of the numina montanum, Jason had called them. Or ourae, in Greek. Whatever you call them, they're nasty.
Like the others they had faced, this one wears a simple white tunic over skin as rough and dark as asphalt. He is twenty feet tall and extremely muscular, with a flowing white beard, scraggly hair, and a wild look in his eyes, like a crazy hermit. He bellows something Hazel doesn't understand. Then, with his bare hands, he pries another chunk of rock from his mountain and begins shaping it into a ball.
(Hazel wishes Regina were here. She would be able to deflect it. She'd probably know how to defeat these guys, cause she's super smart and beautiful like that━at least until they were out of the way).
The scene disappears in the fog, but the mountain god bellows again. Another numina answers in the distance, their voices echoing in through the valleys.
"Stupid fucking rock gods!" Leo yells from the helm. "That's the third time I've had to replace that fucking mast! Do you think they grow on trees?"
