Percy Jackson and the Incarnate-5: The Mahayudha

CHAPTER 13 POV: Hariharan Sivakumar

After Percy and Justin saved their parents, I was really in a fix. Someone had really backstabbed us and gave information to the actual camp. Zeus!! This means that now they know that that was the actual camp and this was an imposter. I wanted the war to happen here so that the consequences are not worse. But I really had to think on what to do.

'Mahadev. Please help me. Guide me.' I prayed in my mind.

'Hari. You are going fine. There is no use of protecting the camp if the campers are here. As Percy aptly put, the campers form the camp, not the camp premise. Destroying the camp as a place does not destroy actual essence of the Camp. The Demigods. Focus on the War. Two days. And you would be relieved from this burden.', Lord Shiva said in my mind.

'So, I should allow the camp to be destroyed? And then let them come here?', I asked back.

'Exactly.', Lord Shiva responded in my mind.

'As you wish! Once you decide, nothing can change what is destined.', I said and greeted him. The last thing I heard was his soft laugh before I opened my eyes. I saw Thalia staring at me weirdly.

"What happened?", I asked. She came out of her stupor and looked at me again.

"What were you doing?", she asked.

"Sought guidance from Lord Shiva. I need guidance sometimes.", I said. She just left me, confusing me greatly.

I went to Annabeth's tent. She looked tired of all the planning.

"Oh! Hi Hari! How can I help?", she asked.

"I could ask the same for you considering you look tired.", I said and sat at the other side of the table.

"Strategizing is a very tedious process.", she sighed.

"Yes. Can relate to that.", I said. She smiled.

"Now, who do we have left among the enemy ranks?", she asked and jotted down names.

GAEA

PORPHYRION, OTHER GIANTS

ORION

INDRAJITH

MAHISHASURA

MARICHA

Those are six very strong enemies. And one of them was that pervert who assaulted Thalia. Maricha is out of question. He was more of a forced fighter. Vibhishana and Hanuman can take care of him.

"I don't know how to defeat Gaea. Last time, it took all the gods and the best of demigods to subdue them.", Annabeth said.

"Last time, you didn't have Chaos, no the Hindus. Gaea is for me to defeat.", I said and she jerked her head.

"Don't joke Hari. You can't use any weapons because of your oath.", she said.

"But I can use myself as a weapon.", I interjected. She looked confused.

"Just believe me. But, being a child of Athena, you would devise a backup by now.", I said.

"I believe you. Hari. I believe in Percy and he believes in you. You have proved to be a great asset. Do what you have to do.", she said.

"Yes. But Orion needs to be dealt with. He could really throw spanner in our works.", I said.

"We need Apollo, Artemis and the Apollo Cabin to focus on Orion. The hunters along with the Seven should focus on the Giant and the monsters. Maricha and Mahishasura can be taken care by the Chiranjeevis and the ally army. The Narayani Sena under Vishwaksena would help the Chaos Army in fighting Gaea until I come. Indrajith! I will have to take care of him.", I said.
