"Wow! This is Bloody Brilliant!" Ron said "We have never seen a Ship like this,At Least the interior of the ship. Remember Harry the ship of the Durmstrangs we have seen way back in our fourth year."

"Yeah Ron but this one's lot more cooler. Everything looks perfect in this ship."
"Thanks for the compliment friend.....I built every part of it." Leo said, His eyes swelling with pride."
" Yeah It's very beautiful Leo" Annabeth said sarcastically, "Did you hoist the given flag."
"Yes"
"Then What are you waiting for....start the damn ship."
"Yes Commander!!"
"Neville and Luna aren't going to come then"
"Yes!They told they will help in teaching the other students"
"So It's the 11 of us now! Let us start....It is going to be a long ride".

"Crossing this jungle is the deadliest part of my journey right now" Arjun said to himself "The foulest creatures here are waiting for the right opportunity to strike me."

"May be I could have asked someone to accompany me" Arjun said to himself.
"You are the Son of Indra" His mind countered.
"Yes! But it's not that I am afraid or something. I just don't know if I will reach them or not! I just blindly came out with this flag in search of some unknown people, God knows they exist or not."
Then suddenly the flag in his hand started to glow. Arjun looked at it hoping for a miracle and there it happened.
The structure in the flag transformed into a map marking his location and the destination he should reach.
"Oh Father!!! You are applying this hi-tech modern techniques even to the oldest items with your magic. Glad to see you are upgrading too!!" Arjun joked looking at the sky "Anyway Thanks! You just proved to me that I have a Destination to reach. With this you cleared all my suspicions."
" A long journey anyway to that place....Takes a lot of time of course. I hope Ketan takes good care of the Ashram"
" So 'People from my Subconscious'....I'm on my way.....
With that Arjun started his journey. He crossed the Forest without leaving any trace of his movement thereby avoiding any dangerous confrontation with the wild creatures.
After crossing the Forest, he used the local mortal transportation . He was in a normal attire , not in his warrior suits to avoid stares from people. He has his sling in his pocket which can turn into his Bow. After a long journey he finally reached a place which is near to his destination.
"I think I have to go on foot here, there is no Transportation available." Arjun spoke to himself
He began to walk through the forest hoping to find his imaginary people thinking that this will be definitely a turning point in his life.

After few days travel
"I am enjoying this journey, No sign of any stupid sea monsters except for some freaking climatic changes." Jason said.
" Remember Jason! As soon as you said like this, we fought a giant sea monster on our way to England." Percy pointed out.
"Look at the sea Percy it is very violent. I think it is trying to turn us upside down. But still we are safe, I think this flag has something to do with it."
" Yeah! May be. It never even changed its course according to the wind, just as the trainer said."
"It is showing us direction and we are going exactly according to it. Hope it takes to our Destination."
"Annabeth! There is some land over there. I think we are getting closer." Leo came running to them
All the members got onto the deck and watched. Some thousand metres away there appeared vegetation.
"Do you really think that is our destination?"
"Positive" Leo answered." I calculated the time we will take to reach and it tallied approximately."
" OK Leo, After we reach the Land, Secure the ship. We are checking out.
************************************
"Just a few feet distance I will be near the beach." Arjun said to himself walking swiftly with his eyes and ears open for any troubles.
Pushing the thickly patched bushes and avoiding natural forest traps, he finally came near to the beach and saw a bunch of people there.
"Excuse Me! Are you the Demigods and wizards" Arjun asked running to them
" Yes" the group answered.
"Follow me then! I have come a long way to find you people. I even had the doubt that you were real or not."
"Yes we were real....so real that we were gonna kill you now and bury you here itself."
With that the bunch of people transformed into some horrifying creatures. With fangs protruding from their mouths and horns hanging from their heads they looked like a creepy race of people who arrived from underworlds.
Their weapons looked a lot like swords but to tell what these are, they must only know. Surrounding Arjun they attacked at once. Arjun ducked,punched a creature in his gut making him stagger backwards and rolled outwards. His sling transformed into his magical bow and arrow and he started shooting arrows. With flawless accuracy and peerless confidence he knocked down the creatures one by one. Arrow after Arrow....Body after Body.... He was in such a mood that he did not notice the creatures forming again despite of getting knocked by the Arrows. Each blood drop shed by the creatures is forming a new creature and the creatures army is exponentially increasing.
After a while of shooting he noticed his quiver was empty and saw a huge number of creatures crawling towards him. He took an arrow from a nearby fallen creature, jumped and pierced it into the heart of an approaching creature. He took out his sword and started battling with the creatures. No sooner he was overpowered and the creatures pinned him to a nearby tree. Arjun struggled against the creatures trying to get out of their grip but he could not,There were too many of them . The creature raised his sword and the light which shone so brightly in Arjun's eyes some moments ago got dimmer and was threatening to leave his eyes.

A cliffhanger!!! Hope you like it.
