Reyna and Jason: The Praetor's of New Rome - Sacrifice

The War: Like Ants

"So, anyone have any ideas on how to take down an immortal titan?" Sam asked Gwen and I while dangling from my left arm.

I had scooped up Sam and Gwen and took off into the air just before Saturn's army crashed into our own. The sounds of metal clanging and monsters roaring echoed throughout the valley. It took every ounce of will power to ignore it and focus on the task at hand.

"They'll be fine." Gwen said confidently, kicking a harpy away from us. "Reyna's leading the charge."

I used the winds to avoid a wild griffin. "Yeah, focus. We need to focus."

The titan Epithemus stared at Percy above, who circled on the back of Scipio. We were making slow progress, forced to dodge multiple monster and flying arrows while on the way to the looming titan.

Sam slashed a harpy in two. "Jason, I don't want to sound judgmental or anything but can you go a little faster?"

My breathing was labored. "I'm.... trying. My fight...... with Max took a lot out of me."

Gwen scanned the battlefield. We were close to passing the backline of Saturn's army. The backline was mostly comprised of demigods. From up here, I could recognize a few familiar faces. Former legionnaires that had gone missing over the past months.

Sam stuck a middle finger out to a few of them. "I see you George! Your welcome for saving your ass in the everglades!"

"You went to.... the everglades? Like in Florida?" I asked Sam between my labored breathing.

Sam scratched his head and laughed nervously. "Yeaaaah. That was a few years back. Ben and John chewed me out for a week because I was gone for over a month. Saved that guy from a pack of hungry gators controlled by an evil witch. Long story."

Gwen punched Sam. "Shut it, Sam. Jason, veer to the right. Towards that hill, underneath that tree. We need a plan of attack."

I followed her lead, descending a lot faster then I intended to. "Uh, Jason! Are we crash landing?" Sam shouted.

I groaned, using every ounce of my energy to slow our descent. Our landing was more of a brutal tumble then a crash landing. We rolled over each other until smashing into a tree. Sam groaned. "Oh my back."

I rolled to my back, exhausted. Gwen groaned while rising to her arm and knees. She spit some dirt out of her mouth and crawled over to me and touched my head. "Hey, Jason. Your still with me?"

I groaned. "Barely."

Gwen dug into her phanny pack, pulling out a Ziplock of unicorn shavings. "If i had a can of Monster energy drink, this would have worked a lot better. Open your mouth."

She sprinkled the last of her unicorn shaving into her mouth. "I know, its dry, but you have to swallow it for me."

I swallowed it, coughing a few times before it went down completely. "That was, unpleasant." I groaned. I sat up, feeling just as exhausted as I did a second ago. The only difference was my body could move and my heart was pounding a million miles a second.

Sam stretched his back and surveyed the titan Epimetheus. Epimetheus snorted, which sounded like a boom going off. "YOU CAN'T STAY UP THERE FOREVER SON OF THE SEA GOD!"

Sam sighed. "What's with bad guys bringing up our parentage?" Sam muttered then turned to us. "So I thought about it and I still have no ideas. Come on, any ideas?"

Epimetheus roared with laughter. "AH, SON OF THE SEA GOD! YOU ARE QUITE HUMOROUS TO LISTEN TO! SO HOW WILL YOU GUT ME AGAIN? WITH THAT LITTLE TOOTHPICK YOU HAVE THERE?"
