Lily's Pov

I hear someone call out for him, but I don't hear what they say. The boy pulls me up and as he does I can see more people behind him fighting with Krios. Who are they? As thoughts of who they all are and what they're doing here race through my mind, I hear him say something- "I'm Jason. What's your name?"

I think for a second about whether I should trust him, but he saved my life. The least he deserves is my name, so I reply, "My name is Lily." Jason nods slowly, and I have a better look at him. His face is framed by short, blond hair, and I can see a faint scar on his bottom lip. I stop myself from staring and look around. "Shall we?" I ask and he smirks.

"Let's go," he replies, and I pick up my sword from the ground and spin it round. We both rejoin the fight. I then hear Jason shout across the battlefield, "Legion, behind you! Let's give her some cover!" I look over, notice hordes of monsters that they are now fighting, allowing me to focus on Krios. I smile softly at Jason in thanks. In this moment, I realize that they are demigods. Just like me, but they're not from Camp Half-Blood, so where were they trained, and what are their swords made from? It's not bronze, it looks more like gold. These thoughts are pushed from my mind as Krios slashes his sword towards me. "Do you think you can defeat me? You would be dead if not for them!" and with that comment, I attack him again.

Jason's POV

As I rush back into battle, I spot monsters entering the room. "Legion, behind you! Let's give her some cover!" Lily looks back, notices what I meant by that and smiles at me softly, before ducking and continuing her fight. As I fight off some empousai with Reyna, I hear the titan shout something at Lily, "Do you think you can defeat me? You would be dead if not for them!" and look over.

I notice her face fill with determination, and she rushed at him to attack. I look back at my own fight and decide something. "Reyna, I'm gonna go help her, can you handle this?" I can see her smirk in the corner of my eye as she says, "Go help her, I'll be fine. Just don't get yourself killed."

"No promises," I reply, and we both laugh. I then run off to help Lily, leaving Reyna to lead the others. She'll be fine, she can handle herself. Just as Lily falls to the ground trying to dodge a strike form the titan, I step in, catching his blade with mine. I look down at her laughing slightly, "Is this going to become normal for us, me saving you?"

"That depends on if we see each other after this, and I don't think we will," she says laughing too.

"I wouldn't be so sure, child of the moon!"
