Ash and I jumped on a bus with some money Ash had. I dunno where he got it from, maybe this Camp place paid satyrs to look after us. Who knows. Soon we were trundling through the country side. Ash pressed the button, making the driver stop. I looked at Ash like he was a crazy and a small doubt wormed its way into my head. What if Ash had made this all up just to prank me... Nah, Ash knew that i'd beat him to pulp if he did that, especially as he had made it personal by invovling my parents. Anyway, I had seen his freaky goat legs hadn't I? I sighed and got off the bus with Ash. In front of me was a large hill. I have to say it wasn't that spectacular, a bit of a let down to be honest. Ash beckoned to me and we were about to start climbing when a spine-chilling growl came from behing me. I spun around as Ash yelped 'Di Immortals!' I realised I understood what he said as 'OMG' but all I saw was an old dude that had been sitting behind me on the bus. I had to admit that it was odd that he had got off here too. 'Wha-' I started to ask as Ash, looking terrified, yelled 'The Mist!'

Before my eyes the guy started to transform. Suddenly In front of me stood a monster that looked a bit like a lion but had a huge tail topped with what looked like a mace. I gulped. 'M...m...manticore', whimpered Ash. Okay so now I knew what it was called. Helpful.

Suddenly, in the time of a blink, a huge black spike shot towards me. I managed to dive out of the way, rolling as another thumped into the ground where my head had been a second before. I cried out in fear and shock as Ash leapt in front of me, playing a strange set of wooden pipes. I figured they must have been magical as grass started to grow around the beast, holding it down. 'Run', Ash yelled as he took a breath, 'get help!' I scrambled up and started running up the hill. I felt a slight tug in my gut as I passed a large pine tree, but it was probably just fear so I ignored it. I didn't even have time to be shocked at the amazing sight in the valley that met my eyes. I just kept running, all the time shouting for help. I almost fell over as I ran into a guy and a girl half dressed in armour. 'Manticore' I practically screamed in their faces, pointing back towards the hill. They glanced at each other, pulled out some gleaming bronze weapons and ran towards the hill, me following close behind.

They pulled away ahead of me as I stumbled over the top of the hill. Ash seemed to be unconcious against the trunk of the pine tree, the manticore just a few steps away from him, teeth bared. The two kids, who looked about 16, ran over and started jabbing it with swords, pulling it away from Ash. 'Get him to camp!' the girl yelled, pointing to Ash, before spinning round and smashing the monster in the face. I pulled Ash to the top of the hill, just in time to see the beast explode into yellow dust. The kids jogged over to me sheating their waepons, picking up Ash wordlessly and taking him toward a big farm house. Outside a guy was standing looking worried. He had obviously heard the sound of the fight. I blinked and looked again, but i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. He looked like a normal guy except where his legs should be, was a horse.
