Something crashes into the boat. I get pushed into Marina. Rex falls into Kale. Proteus slams into the wall of the ship's side. What was that? The sounds are getting louder. Marina takes the wheel. She looks around. I take out my sword. 

"What's out there?" She whispers.

"Something that's not friendly." I whisper back. 

Something dives down at me. I dodge a talon by the looks of it. I only got a mere glimpse of it but it looked like it was a female girl. Her face was a girl's and it had long black hair. My eyes widen.

"Harpy." I mutter.

"What?" Marina and Proteus asks.

"Harpies!" I yell.

Another one dives down. She reaches her talons out. I slash it with my sword. She lets out a screech. She turns and dives at Proteus. Proteus jumps out of the way and slashes her back. I turn. Another one swoops down. I jump over her. She glares at me. She spins around. Her claws rake my ship.

"Hey!" I yell. 

She turns. She charges. I slam my sword into her wing. She screeches. I jump forward and run my sword down her wing. One swoops down behind me. She slams me down. Her talons were digging into my back. Proteus charges.

"So... you're the man that pissed of Poseidon?" She bends down.

My eyes widen. Proteus draws back.

"I'll give you a hint, you're going to die." She whispers in my ear.
