Percy Jackson and the Incarnate-5: The Mahayudha

CHAPTER 7 POV: Percy Jackson

The day was bad. We had to face a lot of losses. And this was for the first day. We need assistance. Hari said about the Bhootaganas and the Narayani Sena coming for aid, but they were still not around. We were depleted and bruised.

The night was quiet, so ironic considering our situation. I went to the tent, where Annabeth was seated with the Hecate Cabin.

"Percy. Come sit.", she said and I obliged. I hugged her and kissed her on the lips, for assurance. She responded back and we held our hands for comfort.

"The mist is getting weak. We cannot hold it any longer. Why was it necessary?", Lou asked. She was very much tired from all the mist manipulation.

"It is required, Lou. Do you believe in me?", I asked her. She nodded.

"Because Hari asked so. He wanted this. And I trust his judgement.", I said. They look at me with dismay.

"I hope you are not being misled.", Lou muttered.

"I am not.", I said indignantly.

"I believe you.", Annabeth said and pecked my cheeks.

"Can you explain from where you got so much loyalty for Hari?", Lou asked.

"Please tell me too. What did Hari say or show to you that made you believe in him?", Annabeth asked. I gulped. I didn't want to tell them yet. I cannot describe what I saw. I don't know if I even have the correct words to describe what he showed me.

"I..."

The earth shook.

*BANG* *BANG*

"What the?!", I cursed.

"What happened?", Annabeth asked.

"I have no clue.", Lou said as we went out of the tent. What we saw made us sick.

It was a night attack by the enemy. Nyx herself led her troops along with Alcyoneus and a lot of night creatures. We were dead. The whole camp border would break in any moment.

"Percy! Thank the Gods. They are starting to attack. We are completely outnumbered. What should we do?", Piper asked as she came with the other Army members of Chaos.

"You still believe in me? Will you follow all of my decisions?", I asked her. The decision I was about to take is the most unexpected. No one would agree to what I say.

"Anything.", they said. I nodded.

"Call Ashwatthama.! I want to meet him.", I said and I ran to the cave. The seven Chiranjeevis looked calm, but concerned.

"Ashwatthama.", I called. He looked at me and nodded.

"What shall we do?", he asked.

"Do you think we could defeat the army?", I asked.

"I don't know. What are they?", he asked.

"They are creatures of the Night. Nyx is the Primordial of Night and controls Night. She is the night.", I explained.

"So, she is more powerful during the night. She is invulnerable.", he said more like asked. I nodded.

"It is a suicide.", he responded.

"I know. Just I just know what to tell them. Just I need you to accompany me.", I said. He nodded and we quickly went to the Camp center where the others were seated.

"Is everyone here?", I asked. All nodded.

"What are we going to do Percy?", Thalia asked. Nico, the seven save for Jason were looking at me with expectation. I don't know how they would react when I tell them this.
