We Run With The Bulls

Onto book two, The Sea of Monsters!  WOOOOO!

This is bullshit.  Kinda literally in this case.  First, Thalia's tree gets poisoned and the magical borders around camp are fading.  I have my suspicions of who did it, and when I find him I'm gonna shove Αγριος down his throat.  Chiron got blamed for it, or at least blamed for not stopping it.  He was exiled from camp.  And that brings us to now.  Where giant metal bulls are rampaging around the border of camp.  Oh, and they breathe fire.  Because of course they do. I ran around one of the bulls, stabbing at it with my spear when I got the chance.  I dove down as it charged me, sliding under the bull and driving my spear into its stomach, tearing it open with an awful screeching sound.  The bull stumbled a bit then fell to the ground, dead.  I turned to help with the other bull, but Percy, Annabeth, and some really big kid with a kinda misshapen face had shown up.  I watched in awe as the big guy faced down the bull charging at him.

???: Bad bull!

The boy punched the bull in the face, toppling it.  A dozen spears were thrown into its less armored belly, and the bull was finally dead.  Cheers erupted around the hill, and I walked over to Annabeth.

YN: Welcome back, Annabeth.

Annabeth: What happened?  How did they get into camp?

YN: THAT happened.

I pointed my spear at Thalia's tree, which was turning yellow.  Piles of dead needles lay around the base of the tree, and a puncture wound about the size of a bullet hole oozed sap out of it, like blood.

Annabeth: No... how could this happen?

YN: For whatever reason, Chiron got blamed for it and has been exiled.  But I'm pretty sure I know who did this.  And if I'm right, I'm going to send him to Hades myself.
