I hear your voice

It's like an angel sighing

I have no choice

I hear your voice

Feels like flying

⚔ If you think riding on a motorcycle with Ethan is the worst thing ever, then clearly, you have never ridden a pegasus with Helena.

Percy was not having fun at all.

Flying a pegasus towards an out-of-control helicopter, contrary to popular belief, was NOT fun. If Guido had been any less of a fancy flyer, they would've been chopped to confetti.

They could hear Rachel screaming inside. For some reason, she hadn't fallen asleep, but Percy could see the pilot slumped over the controls, pitching back and forth as the helicopter wobbled towards the side of an office building.

"Ideas?" Percy asked Helena.

"Yeah," she said. "I've got one, but I gotta get close."

"What are you going to do?"

In response, she said, "Hyah!" And Guido went into a nosedive.

"Get down!" Helena yelled.

They passed so close to the rotors that Percy felt the force of the blades ripping at his hair. They zipped along the side of the helicopter, and Helena grabbed the door. That's when things went wrong.

Guido's wing slammed against the helicopter. He plummeted straight down with Percy on his back, leaving Helena dangling from the side of the aircraft.

Percy was so terrified he could barely think, but as Guido spiralled, he caught a glimpse of Helena swinging on the bars and somehow manoeuvring herself into the helicopter.

"Hang in there!" Percy yelled at Guido.

My wings, he moaned. It's busted.

"You can do it!" Percy desperately tried to remember what Silena used to tell them in pegasus riding lessons. "Just relax the wing. Extend it and glide."

They fell like a rock—straight towards the pavement a hundred metres below. At the last moment, Guido extended his wings. Percy saw the faces of centaurs gaping up at them. Then they pulled out of their dive, sailed twenty metres, and tumbled onto the pavement—Pegasus over demigod.

Ow! Guido moaned. My legs. My head. My wings.

Chiron galloped over with his medical pouch and began working on the Pegasus.

Percy got to his feet. When he looked up, his heart crawled into my throat. The helicopter was only a few seconds away from slamming into the side of the building.

Then, miraculously, the helicopter righted itself. It spun in a circle and hovered. Very slowly, it began to descend.

It seemed to take forever, but finally, the helicopter thudded to a landing in the middle of Fifth Avenue. He looked through the windshield and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Helena and Rachel had their arms around each other, standing in front of the controls.
