章 37: 35

As promised

*Boom*

I knew it, not even 2 days and some shit happened, Percy must be truly cursed... or maybe I am for having him around all the time.

I'd basically stayed in my quarters for these days, practicing with my moon aura and such, I also learned I could change my guns to whatever weapon I wanted, a knife, a bow, a sword... But guns were cool so I'll let them stay.

"What's the situation?" I asked walking out, looking away from Megan as my mood dipped down a little.

I... wasn't proud of how I was the other day... I should probably apologize... but that can wait. For now, there were raging waves I need to deal with.

"This must be what Luke meant" Annabeths words didn't register until I was halfway up the deck. They'd seen Luke?... What was he doing?

The last time I saw him he was smirking as I went to protect Megan, not that she needed it.

I wonder how he's doing with his side of the mission... This is tiresome, how do I even escape from that crazy titan anyway?

"The sea... That's Charybdis..." Clarisse said before everything went to shit.

(3rd Pov)

Argen covered the entire front side of the boat in moon aura, straining himself to control it as huge waves splashed down.

In front of them was a whirlpool, but not just any Whirlpool, one caused by a giant sea monster.

Charybdis, its parent being Keto and Phorcys, specialized in making their Whirlpools and sucking sea travelers down into her mouth.

Her huge shark-like teeth were even more reason to fear her.

"If that's Charybdis then," Annabeth started to say before one of the ghouls was snapped up faster than any of them could see.

"Then Scylla must be here as well... Trapped between a rock and a hard place... Shit" Argen finished as he poured all of his energy into making his moon aura cover the entire ship as the snake as heads came down onto them, Snapping onto his makeshift shield.

"Do something!" Argen yelled at the 4 standing around, Clarisse was already ordering the ghouls to steer away.

One day in the sea of monsters and this shit happened... None of them could believe it.

"Mam!" One of the Ghouls came out just as a large fire blew up behind him, engulfing him and a few other ghouls.

"Crap! The broiler room, it needs to be stabilized if we want to move..." Clarissa muttered to herself.

She knew she was in charge of this situation, and she needed to think quickly.

Looking toward Argen she turned away just as quickly, not wanting to be distracted.

"Hey chill out an-" Argen didn't finish his words as the ship rocked, his moon aura bursting away as he flew off to the side, his eyes wide as he grabbed the side of the railing.

"Crap!" He yelled, panicking as he tried to you'll himself up. He was so close to the shark fin-shaped teeth of Charybdis.

"Ahh!"

"Help!"

"No!"

The yells of the Ghouls ringed out as Scylla now had free reign over the passengers on board of the ship.

'Crap Crap Crap Crap!' Argen yelled in his head as he tried and failed to pull himself up on the rocking ship.

"Argen here!" Percy's voice reached his ears as the boy jumped over, reaching out his hand to save Argen.

'Huh... What is this idiot doing!?' Argen thought to himself before waving away the hand and trying to pull himself up again. "I'd rather die than take your hand!" He yelled before failing to pull himself up.

"Argen here!" Percy yelled again, extending his hand further. Percy's eyes then widened as his other hand slipped and he fell down beside Argen.

The terrified face of Percy reminded him of something, the same expression he had whenever his dad would walk toward him, or when the girls from his job would begin taking off their clothes.

Percy knocked into Argen as they fell into Charybdis, both of them quickly being ripped up by the rocks.

"Crap! The broiler room, it needs to be stabilized if we want to move..." Clarissa muttered to herself.

Argen's moon aura dropped as the surprise was too much for him. "I..." He started to say before Scylla started snapping up Ghouls.

'Was that... The future?' He thought, looking down at Percy who was protecting the others and waving his sword at the head-snapping down.

'My bias... killed me... Damn it' Argen gritted his teeth as the ship rocked, except this time he manipulated the moon aura to float in the air as he pushed it to the sides of the ship, stabilizing it as he looked over at Tyson, Percy, Annabeth, and Megan.

"Move!" He yelled pushing more to hit Megan to the side as the snake-like head of Scylla came down to snap her up.

He wasn't sure how he had done it, but it felt like he'd... predicted it?

"Tyson go down to the broiler room and stabilize it!" Argen yelled, knowing the cyclops had been learning things from Beckendorf, plus the fact he was immune to fire.

No one questioned the order as Argen burst up toward the cliff, he'd need to take down their main threat, Scylla.

(1st Pov)

I was terrified, literally shaking as the huge monster's head came back up. She definitely knew I was here.

My hiding was simply a game she would play, on the bright side she hadn't put her head back down, so hopefully, I gave the others some time.

Percy... Ugh, I want to hate him... Really everything that is happening right now is his fault but... That expression.

My eyes widened as a large reptilian-type tail slapped toward me hitting me toward Scylla. Shit Shit Shit!

"Oh wow, someone was actually brave enough to come on this mountain?... Scylla drop it... for now" A womanly voice reached my ears as I stopped accelerating, only centimeters away from the sea monster's sharp teeth.

Setting me down... Gently? Scylla seemed to shrink as the most thickened, probably so no one could see? It was already impossible to see through it all, this just seemed overkill.

"Hmm... Well, what are you doing here little boy? Are you here to take the Leviathan's trial?... A hero I suppose?"

The woman, a beautiful woman, said to me as I blinked a few times. Her hair seemed to be wrapped in seaweed as her eyes were sea green, pretty similar to Percy's.

Her look changed to disgust though when she talked about heroes... Well, actually more of pity.

"Well if this will get you out of here faster... It's not like I have any place to go anyway..." Her tone was melancholic, a tone of sadness I couldn't match even if I remembered everything that had happened to me.

"Well good luck" Was all she said as the same reptilian tail wrapped around me and threw me up into the sky, even past the clouds...

Ah Yeah...

Anyway I was actually kinda surprised I reached 300 power stones... I wonder how high I can get in the rankings, I'll do some testing this week... *Sips Coffe and posts chap*
