Percy Jackson and the Incarnate-5: The Mahayudha

CHAPTER 9 POV: Percy Jackson

We took the portal and reached the war site. The Hecate Cabin and Hari were doing their best to reconstruct a duplicate Camp and its surroundings in ruins, so as to not raise suspicion. I never understood why Hari never fought directly. Maybe it was his style to be cunning. But who am I to say? Until it benefits us, we have no problem.

When I reached the main tent where my siblings were devising Strategies, I was met by Harley, the young son of Hephaestus who was the one to find Leo and Calypso. He had become a hero overnight for finding Leo. He looked at me with a grim expression.

"What is the matter Harley? Any problem?", I asked. He nodded grimly.

"What is it?", I asked. He motioned me to follow him and led me to his tent.

"Why did you bring me here?", I asked the now twelve-year-old.

"You need to see this.", he said and showed a video in his laptop. It was built with Anti-monster detection sensors, that shields us from being detected by monsters.

"Where did you get the Video?", I asked.

"Spy cams on top of every bunk. Very small for the eye. Leo and Nyssa made them.", he said as the video started.

The scene was creepy. I would not go into the details. But one thing was certain. There were Dementors too!!!! Shit! I thought dementors were fiction, but considering that this whole world would be fiction for the mortals, I was not shocked. Cold shivers ran down my spine.

"I want to talk to Lou.", I said and rushed to her tent .

"Lou!", I shouted, startling the whole tent. She looked at me and motioned to continue.

"Is Harry Potter Real?????", I asked.

"Why do you ask so?", she asked.

"Leo and Nyssa had implanted spy cams on the top of each bunk which captured what happened last night. And some things literally sent shivers down my spine.", I said. She flinched.

"The creatures of night.", she whispered.

"And that includes a freaking dementor!", I shouted an octave higher.

"Dementors!?", she asked in utter shock. I dragged her to Hephaestus's tent and showed her the clipping. She paled beyond recognition.

"We can't fight them!", I said. "I don't have a wand, I don't know my Patronus and first of all, I am not a witch!", I screeched.

"I shall ask Mom what to do.", she said and rushed to her tent, possibly to the makeshift temple to pray. I steeled my nerve and went to the main tent; where all were in a deep discussion. Even Hari and Ashwatthama were present.

"Glad you came Percy. Why were you late?", Hari asked.

"Something I found about yesterday's attack. We need to see this. This is super important.", I said and motioned Nyssa to show the clip. When the clip ended, all looked....well... demented.

"Holy Hephaestus! Dementors are real?", Leo asked. Godhood has little change in his attitude.

"Yes. And we have no Harry Potter to cast a Patronus Charm.", I said. I looked at Annabeth who was looking at the clipping very carefully.

"Nyssa! Can you rewind this part?", She asked. Nyssa obliged and rewound the scene. For about five times. I couldn't see what Annabeth saw. But even Hari's eyes twinkled, as if he spotted something. They looked at each other and spotted knowing looks.

"What did you find?", I asked. Annabeth looked at me.

"A small clue, but we need Lou and Hecate to confirm.", she said and showed me the corner of the screen.
