I almost started crying at all the hunters who were lying motionless on the floor. I looked at Percy and he nodded at my gaze. He smiled before charging into battle. It almost made me stop in my tracks. So charming and... Just simply beautiful. I was snapped out of my daze by Cyclops who threw me into a tree. I looked up shocked. He was about to grab me when he was suddenly struck by lightning. I looked at my lieutenant, who grinned and helped me up. Smiled right back and looked around. Only about 10 monsters left. I got my bow and shot 4 and on the 5th my arrow struck the emposa   forehead at the same time a sword struck the back through the front of her chest. She disintegrated into golden dust and Percy fell to his knees. He took a few deep breaths and flooded the campsite. All the gold dust was spread around and the motionless girls on the ground started stirring. There wounds healed and thymes sat up suddenly looking around confused. We looked back at Percy, who was now fully on the ground. I ran up to him and checked his pulse. I sighed in relief, then in annoyance. How many times did he get hurt since he came to Olympus? 3? I don't know. I called Thalia to help me and she looked disgusted. She tried to protest.

"Milady-" she started.

"No, it's Percy, and you need to help, he's dying." I stated worriedly. Her eyes widened and she rushed over along with Phoebe. They had gotten close during the war. I turned to my hunters.

"Now, I think this deserves an explanation." I said nervously. I started telling them what happened.
