Visiting Russia, sure you don't hear that everyday. Finding two of your friends there, that were supposed to be on a camp in New York, a one in a million chance. But finding your friends fighting a cyclops at the Kremlin? Now you don't hear that everyday.
Valerie first spotted Charley, she had to do a double take to make sure it was him, his short, military style golden hair was what caught her eye, his skin was red, as if he'd been running all day, he wore red sneakers, jeans and a green camo t-shirt, she was about to run towards him when she noticed he had a spear in hand, a shiny bronze spear, and on the other a round shield made of the same material, he was also bleeding from his nose and had a cut on his left eye.
"Charley!" She yelled, "It's me! Valerie!" He turned to look at her, surprised then confused, then worried. He yelled something to someone out of her sight and ran towards her. He got to her and grabbed her hand pulling her onto a small closet full of cleaning supplies.
"Vale, what are you doing here!?" He asked sitting down and catching his breath, "I thought you where in Mexico."
"And I thought you where in New York..." she replied, he looked up at her, got up and opened his mouth to say something when something pulled him out of the closed making a whole in the wall.
Valerie screamed and ducked, but nothing grabbed her like Charley, she stopped and looked through the hole in the wall, she didn't see anything, she exited the closet and found a massive hole on the wall, she peeked through and now she saw someone...or something, a few feet away there was a 7 feet tall man covered in mud, dirt, rubble and filth that was wearing ripped rags, he had really long hair and was waving a giant wooden club around, he swung it a couple of times and then Valerie saw Charley fly and roll downhill into the street, she gasped and wanted to run to him but a voice stopped her.
"Hey! It's me you want you ugly one-eyed demon!" She knew that voice, Jason, but what caught her attention was the one-eyed demon part.
The man turned and she understand, he was normal, expect instead of two eyes he only had one big one on the middle of his face. Her first thought was a cyclops but that couldn't be right.
"Son of Neptune." said the monster, "You won't win this time." It smiled and raised its club.
"We'll see..." said Jason, and he jumped towards the monster.
