Curse of the Triblood

Chapter 61

Percy POV

Everyone was running towards the empire state building. It was more like a stampede than a please evacuate in a calm and orderly fashion type of thing. Everyone ran like maniacs, and those outside the ruined battlefield ran towards the building. Monsters and other enemy demigods tried to evacuate with us. But since we were closer, had a head start, and due to my cabin's connection to the said ocean waters trying to drown the entire army, we were getting there faster. Those enemies in our way were cut down by those demigods skilled enough to multitask and not fall over their feet.

The monsoon was coming towards us and coming from all sides. The shattered pieces of my once great barrier fell harmlessly and drifted like falling snow. A stark contrast to the never-ending storm in the skies and tsunamis coming to kill my entire army. The storms roared with the rage of Zeus, Typhon, and Ournous. It was not letting up, and with the barrier being down, it even worsened. Some of my campers and even some of the monster army were taken up high into the skies due to the winds. Little Margey was not about to let this happen.

She flew up and manipulated the winds as best she could, as good as possible, considering the three deities were going to war in the skies. She would make the winds slow enough for our campers, the centaurs, or satyrs to get their barrings or help from those already on the ground. But my group wasn't the only ones who thought that. Quickly the other children of Zeus, the ones fighting for Kronos, decided to do the same thing appearing from gods know where to help. I wanted to scream at Thalia to help Little Margey, but due to her fear of the highest and the horrible winds, she was not going to start flying about. She tried to manipulate the winds, but it wasn't going to be too drastic.

Poseidon cabin stayed back and stared at the ocean defiantly. It was like they were resistant to drowning or something. With all the power they could muster, they slowed the motion of the water. But it wasn't doing much. Instead of pushing the waters, the seas were pushing them back.

I looked to Silena running by my side. She looked back at me. Both of us had not yet finished talking about her betraying the camp. I'm not sad to say I welcomed the distraction, even if it was deadly and dangerous. Before I could say anything, a telkhines leaped out of the coming waters and tackled a camper.

"Those things could breath underwater?" one of my campers screamed more than asked.

"More like hold their breaths for a stupidly extended amount of time," one of my siblings yelled back. She then pulled on her necklace, allowing a celestial bronze trident to form. She then spun it around her back, twirled it around the back of her neck, getting more force before stabbing into the telkhines back and sending them towards the waters with what looked like a baseball bat swing.

The waters began reaching our feet and were now reaching our ankles. Another telkhines tackled down Beckendorf, but I rushed over quickly and grabbed it by the throat, and crushed it. I ensured he was fine before turning back to the waters and seeing thousands of telkhines swimming in the waves towards us. I cursed before getting both Olethros and Evolgia. I spun them as they were in their spear form before I slammed them into the ground, and with the power of fate, time, and the ocean themselves, stopped the tsunami from slamming into us.

The waters slammed into a sudden jolt as if the barrier was brought back up. I grunted in pain as I forced it back. My muscles screamed as they burned with the pain of being used too much. It was like I was holding the skies once more. The full might of the ocean is being used in full display to force me back and fill me with agony. But even with that, I was being pushed back slowly.

"Dad!" Silena screamed, seeing me pushed back with my siblings as we held off the oceans themselves.

"Go!" I screamed at her.
