It was 3:00 in the afternoon.

Henry,my bestfriend told me we could have a stroll at the Zoo.Of course I accepted his offer! One thing about Henry is that he's hilarious but also sensetive at the same time.

By the way my name is Alexander Williams, and I am a Demigod.

Henry and I had just finished eating at the Zoo FoodCourt. So there's only one place we haven't gone to yet, the Reptilian Section. Actually I don't like snakes, they are like one of the grossest things ever!

As soon as we got there I saw an old lady, sitting on a wooden bench, she was mumbling some words in a fast rate, she was also staring at us, as if we'd done something very wrong to her. My hair stood up to the edge when another old lady --She was a Sweeping lady-- with almost green skin came near us. I also noticed that both of them had similar eyes -- they both have really small irises.I was about to make a run for it but somebody familiar spoke.

"Hey Kids! How ya' doin'" It was Mister Grover! Mr. Grover always made me feel protected -- of course after the incident with the flying lunch ladies-- I really owe him my life.

Then Mr. Grover looked over at the old ladies that are getting closer to us now.

"We gotta get out of here! NOW!" he whispered, of course I always take his advice seriously --Especially when my har stood up--

And I grabbed Henry and we ran, but before we made it out of the Reptilian Section another three old ladies blocked our way.

"You are not going anywhere!" She screeched

And with a blink of an eye they all turned into SNAKE-WOMEN! I made a quick glance at our back and I saw half a dozen old women that soon would change to be Snake-Women.

Mr. Grover searched something from his bag, and finally he found it -- it was a knife , no not a knife IT WAS A DAGGER! --It was a one foot dagger. I recognize it from one of my video games.

"Stay away from the kids! If you want them, you have to go through me" Then he raced his dagger and defended us.

"Very well Ssssssatyr, " Mr. Grover gulped

The Snake-Woman lunged at Mr. Grover. He had lost his grip on the dagger and it went flying to the sky.

As soon as the dagger fell down , I picked it up and helped Mr. Grover.

"Stab her" He said heavy breathing

I didn't want to argue, I stabbed the Snake-Woman at the back and she turned to dust. But as soon as her ashes went 50 feet above, it reformed and came back with her sisters.

"Oh No!" I said

With a blink of an eye, a dark shadow flew right above us and all the snake women turned to sand or ash ..whatever.

" Are you okay G-Man" It wasn't just a shadow, it was a Pegasus! On it's back was a adolescent boy -- like me but bigger-- with dark black hair and sea-green eyes.

" Oh thank you Percy you came!" Mr. Grover Said

"Are they the ones?"

"Yes but these dracaenaea woudn't let us go!" He said

"Dracaenea? "

"Snake-Women!" They both said in unison

" I can fight them!" the guy said

" No Percy you can't! It's just like with Gaea but this time it's the sky!"

In the sky the ashes reformed --again--.

The guy -- who must've been Percy gave me and Henry a sword.

"Percy I know what to do! We will disintegrate them and you control the water and catch the ashes so they won't reform!" Mr. Grover said, I didn't realize it before but he was smart!.

Percy nodded and I understood we charged at them! I began slicing, hacking and thrusting until they were all turned to dust.

Then Percy controled the water. It swallowed all the dust and all was left was watery mists.

" We gotta get out of here now!" I said

"I like this kid! Let's go!"

Then Percy faced the Pegasus , somehow I understood what they were talking about.

Hey Blackjack can you call Guido or Porkpie? Percy said

Yeah boss wait le me just mind message them Blackjack responded

When I looked up at the sky there was another bird - wait not bird-- it was another pegasus headed for us!
