Chapter 28: Thank the Gods - Thalia's POV

When we all split up, I ran towards a laistrygorian fight with Annabeth, Grover and Epsilon.

I saw Flames, Angel and Azelle run towards the fire barrier. It was almost completely down. I heard Flames yelling out for oil to keep up the fire.

Drakon, Huntress and Nico sprinted in the direction of several huge hag things tearing apart a few campers.

I kept running. There were seven laistrygorians in all. Each of them wore heavy metal armour and no helmets. They carried clubs and fiery bronze cannons, and were covered in ugly tattoos.

'We can't let them fire those cannons into the amphitheatre,' Epsilon shouted, stumbling a little.

Annabeth tried to help him, but he waved her away and continued on.

The laistrygonians noticed us when we were twenty feet away. They didn't seem to realize that they could throw their cannons at us, instead charging with their clubs held high. They closed the distance in seconds.

'Let's so this,' Annabeth said.

I ducked under the first club and jumped on top of the second, sprinting up the length of the wood and up the giants arm. I reached his head before he even knew where I was.

I raised my spear and shouted, 'For Zeus!' A fork of lightning shot out of the sky and hit the tip of my spear which I then drove into the bakc of the giants neck. It wailed in pain as electricity arched over its body before it tumbled limply, taking me with it.

It head hit the ground and I rolled to safety. I frowned, Zeus didn't usually answer my prayer that quickly.

I didn't have time to wonder as another laistrygonian came after me. I curved to the side as it smashed it's club down on me, barely missing my head.

I rolled out of the way and came up standing. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Grover, Annabeth and Epsilon fighting off the other five giants.

I was so distracted, I almost forgot about my fight. The laistrygonian lunged at me and I slid between its legs, coming out behind it. It looked around, confused, before I rammed my spear in its bright red rump.

The giant howled, grasping its behind with both hands. It's club fell to the ground and lay there, forgotten. I took the chance and speared the giant in the stomach.

The laistrygonian gave a final grunt before dissolving.

I glanced over my shoulder. Epsilon had taken down one giant and was currently helping Annabeth against two more.

Grover was playing a sharp tune on his pipes, causing tree roots to erupt around the final two laistrygorians, pinning them to the ground.

I headed for Grover, yelling, 'Keep it upu, Goat Boy! I got 'em!'
