The Fiery Tide

Chapter 21

Annabeth’s pov
We have been attacking these monsters for the last two weeks; they suddenly showed up and started draining the shield around camp.

We’ve been attacking them relentlessly but it didn’t seem to make much of a difference every attack didn’t work on them and the campers were getting tired, very soon the shield around camp will be nonexistent.

We were still trying to find a weak spot when Chiron told us that lady Hestia was sending backup for us.

We had almost lost hope when we saw two fiery figures cutting though the monsters but they kept reforming.

The flames on the two figures were increasing till it tuned green.

My eye widened drastically when I realized what they were going to do.

The two figures vanished from sight and when I found them they were falling quickly from the sky.

I quickly turned to the campers around me and yelled at them to retreat.

As we were all running away we felt the impact on the ground and we were sent flying in different directions.

After a short while the smoke and debris had reduced and we walked towards the property line to see what had happened.

As we got closer we saw a column of creek fire surrounding Thalia’s tree and two figures approaching us.

As they got closer the campers around me drew their weapons ready for attack.

We got a little bit closer and heard a male and female voice.

I wonder if Grover is still here.
Yeah, he should be, he was here when we left.

Hmm, probably.

The two figures walked into clear view and saw us holding our weapons poised for attack.

The two figures held their hands up in surrender.

Whoa guys, chill out, said the male. It’s just us.

Who are you, i asked.

The male suddenly straightened up and started in a deep and bold voice.

I am the greatest demigod to ever walk upon the face of the earth, bane of all monsters, terror of the underworld, champion of Hestia.
I am the one and the only…

He’s Percy  Jackson, the female said interrupting him.

Damn it, abigail. The figure now identified as Percy said. No need to ruin my awesomeness.

Didn’t mean to, The figure now identified as Abigail said. They just weren’t feeling it.

The campers and I relaxed when we saw that they were friendly.

Percy, I said. Where have you been for the last two years, you just suddenly went missing and Chiron wouldn’t send out search parties to look for you, and who is this.

Um,  he started. Remember our first mission to Olympus, the girl we found.

I nodded.

This is her, he said. This is Abigail hunt, daughter of Hades, champion of Hestia, minor goddess of the underworld, jewels, riches and death.

I stared at her before I bowed my head towards her.

Please don’t bow, Abigail said. i really don’t like people bowing to me.

So, you’re here to help us then, I said.
Yeah, but first let’s take care of your campers, percy said.

He walked towards the centre of camp where we used to hold our campfires sat down flipped his hood up and started radiating Energy, you could practically feel it rolling off him.

What’s he doing, I asked Abigail.

He’s radiating Hestia’s power to heal everyone, she responded. Check your hands.

I looked down at my hands and saw my cuts closing up, I turned around and saw everyone experiencing the same feeling.

Wow, I said as I looked at Percy.
