Chapter 1: the war part 1
A/N: Hi, I'm new to this site and had an idea for a story, so I thought I would try it out. Please tell me what you think. And please excuse any grammatical errors.
Narrator PoV: (A/N: Percy still has Curse of Achilles because I think I can use it nicely in these chapters. The story will be told mainly from the narrator-me, or Percy's PoV but I may mix it up idk.)
The war with Gaia was at its peak. This was the last stand. The Greek and Roman demigods had joined ranks in front of Camp Half-Blood. Most of the Giants had already perished. Enceladus had been defeated by Jason, Piper and Leo when they had gone to save Piper's father. Alcyoneus had been slain in Canada by Frank and Hazel. Polybotes was turned to dust by Percy and Terminus in New Rome. The twin Giants Ephialtes and Otis downed by Jason and Percy and then killed was Bacchus. Damasen was in Tartarus and was friendly anyway and so was not part of this war. Clytius was set alight by Hazel and Hecate. The only major threats were Gration-who was fighting Artemis and Thalia, Mimas who was fighting Leo, Frank and Hephaestus, Hippolytus who was currently occupied with Annabeth and Hermes, Periboia who was battling Piper, Hazel and Aphrodite, Porphyrion was in combat with Jason and Jupiter.
Then of course the main threat was Gaia. The remaining Gods were battling the Primordial deity and were barely holding their own. Nico and Will stood back to back as they took on a horde of hellhounds with Mrs O'Leary by their sides. Reyna stood in front of the Romans, rallying the cohorts to the eagle and they charged head on to a battalion consisting of Laistrygonians, Empousai, Dracaena and Drakons. Clarisse gathered the Greeks and screamed "CHARGE!" as the Greeks met centaurs, Cyclopes, the Hydra and several karpoi on the battlefield. The hunters were perched on trees and picked off the monsters that posed threats that were unseen by the demigods engaged in battle.
Those that were still fighting were fighting valiantly, some were injured and had been taken to safety by harpies and Argus where some of the Apollo cabin had set up a medical bay. Grover was leading the satyrs/fauns and nature spirits who were fighting with clubs or playing reed pipes that caused plants to wrap around enemy monsters and cause them to trip resulting in campers slaying them as they struggled to get back to their feet. However there were many casualties as bodies were fallen and littered around the ground waiting to be claimed by the harpies or Argus and then placed carefully with the other bodies respectfully on the side.
In the centre of the battle, a lone demigod in Greek armour and a leaf-shaped, glowing Celestial Bronze sword, sliced through an Empousai as if her armour was made of paper. As the monster turned to dust he stopped, wiped the sweat as it dripped down his forehead and swept back his messy, uncontrollable raven black hair to reveal his sea green eyes only for his hair to fall back to its original state. He scoured the battlefield looking to see where he would be needed the most. He had beaten Ares, retrieved Zeus's master bolt and the Golden Fleece, held the sky, bearer of the Curse of Achilles, he defeated Hyperion and Kronos, retrieved the lost standard of the legion; he was a former praetor of Rome and was the hero of Olympus... he was Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon.
Percy POV:
I wiped the sweat off my forehead and ran my hand through my hair to sweep it out of my eyes but to no avail. I looked at my surroundings to see where I could help the most. I saw the Amazons and the Romans fighting side by side on my left and slowly deplete half of the monsters in Gaia's army. On my right the Greeks and the Cyclopes including Briares and Tyson (who had Ella flying in circles around him) slowly but surely turning the other half of Gaia's army into dust. In front of me I could see the rest of the seven and the Gods fighting the rest of the Giants and Gaia. I saw Gration fall as Thalia drew electricity from the sky and skewered the Giant as Artemis sent an arrow flying that lodged between his eyes turning him to dust. I saw Frank in eagle form scratch Mimas with his talons as Leo and Hephaestus sent beams of fire at the giant charring him into oblivion. I saw Hazel manipulate the mist as Piper advanced with her dagger drawn as she stabbed the giant before passing the dagger to her mother who finished the job.
I ran up to Thalia, Leo, Frank, Hazel and Piper just as Artemis, Hephaestus and Aphrodite flashed away to help in the fight against Gaia. "Thalia go and help the rest of the hunters." I looked at Piper and Leo as Thalia ran to join her sisters. "Piper, Leo go and reinforce the Greeks wherever they need help. Hazel, Frank go and help the Romans. It looks like the third cohort is about to be stretched too far for them to hold ranks. I'll help here with Jason and Annabeth." I could tell they were exhausted. It was etched on their faces and I knew they wouldn't be able to face another Giant. I wouldn't be able to take it if any of them died. We had all grown close in the last few days. I guess impending doom does that to people. Piper and Leo ran towards the Greeks whilst Frank turned into an eagle and grabbed Hazel and flew into the midst of the third cohort before turning into a tiger and pouncing into the enemy ranks. I looked at both giants to decide who I was going to help. My instinct was to go to Annabeth as I wouldn't be able to bare it if something happened to her. I was able to run towards her when I heard Jason cry out in pain.
I looked over just as the bane of Zeus caught him with the butt of the spear causing him to fall unconscious. I silently cursed as I sprinted at top speed and just about parried Porphyrion's spear as he went to deal the final blow to Jason. I summoned a wave that pushed the Giant back a few feet. I looked at Zeus and an understanding passed between us. I charged. The wind picked up as I was surrounded by my own personal hurricane. I knew Zeus was helping me as the lightning flashed around me as I pressed the Giant back. Whenever it looked like the Giant was gaining the advantage Zeus would strike causing the King of Giants to falter. Suddenly, there was a blood-curdling scream coming from my right that was so ear-bursting that it caused all the fighting to stop. Literally. Even the giants stopped fighting. I looked over at the sight that met my eyes caused my heart to sink...
A/N: wow a cliff hanger to start with-cruel right? Tell me what you think. Any comments and criticism accepted. I will post the next chapter soon hopefully. Till next time.
