Jay's POV (1st person)

It was mostly a smooth sail back to the tip of Florida. Percy called on the help of his father, and we rode hippocampi, a magical sea horse creature, back to the harbor. I was feeling pretty good now. Annabeth had given me the grilling of lifetime when I got back onto the boat. She was yelling and yelling, but I just decided to shake my head, say I was sorry, and not give her more reason to be mad. An angry daughter of Athena was a very scary thing.

We all leaped off our hippocampi and onto the dock, smiles and all. The fleece was drawn over Tyson's shoulder, I never expected it to be so big. A giant lambs skin it looked like, hard to believe it was the most powerful healing item in the world. As soon as I jumped off my animal and landed on the dock, I got on my knees and kissed the ground. I had never been this happy to be on land.

"Thank my mother and every other Olympian god out there. I've never been this happy to be on land." I exclaimed as my friends landed behind me.

"Alright pretty boy let's get up before a bug crawls into your hair. So what do we do now, how are we supposed to get back to camp?" Clarisse asked.

I looked to Annabeth because I certainly had no idea. Percy to my surprise spoke up, "It was your quest Clarisse, and we have enough mortal money left for a one way plane ticket. You take the fleece, and go, we'll find another way." He said to her as Tyson handed her the fleece.

Percy's plan made sense in my head. We most likely still weren't welcome at camp, so it would be smart of she brought it back. He was wright as well, it was her quest in the first place, and she deserved the credit.

"Percy's wright, besides until we find Chiron and restore him as head of camp, we won't be welcomed back there. We also need to go get Nico and Bianca as well. So do what Percy said, take the tickets and get on the plane, Percy doesn't like flying that much anyway." I said laughing a little in Percy's direction.

He shot me a glare. "Yeah me in the sky is like Jay in the water, completely and utterly terrified." He said.

"You think I'm ashamed of that? Water is terrifying, I hate it." I said back.

After a nice group laugh and Percy and I's expense, Clarisse called in the taxi, and she was off. As soon as her taxi was out of sight, I heard a sword unsheathing. I just heard Annabeth scream, before being knocked in the back of the head.

Damn I sure do get knocked unconscious a lot.

I woke up, to my arms being held back by a two dracaena. Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover were all next to me in similar positions. This boat, was absolutely filled with monsters. I saw so many different kinds, cyclops, hellhounds, and all sorts of other monsters I've never seen in my life. This ship also seemed to be pretty large, so I was scared, even with the combined strength of me, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover, it would certainly be hard to get out of this one. There was a giant shining sun out, and we were in the water, so I wouldn't have any powers I could use.

My blood boiled and I struggled against my captors when I saw Luke step out form below deck. I should've known, who else would have an army of monsters like this? He just gave me that smug look he likes to give me when he thinks he has an advantage. The only problem was, he really did this time.

"Well, well, well I guess Lord Kronos was correct. We just had to sit back and let you get the fleece, and you would fall right into our lap." He said looking over us as if we were his prize catches.
