Annabeth
"Whoa." I breathed.
"Definitely." Lucas agreed. Then he winced.
Celestia stared down at my hurt brother. Ok, get this: the girl breathed out green mist. Someone needs to brush their teeth! The mist flowed out of her and circled Lucas. The mist became bigger and faster until it consumed Lucas. Celestia's eyes glowed bright blue. The mist returned to Celestia's mouth, and the girl's eyes returned to a regular blue. Lucas seemed just fine, no wounds anymore and he stood up cheerfully.
"Thanks." Lucas said to Celestia.
An arrow skimmed my shoulder. I turned my head to see a person riding the hydra. The person, I mean, skeleton had fiery eyes behind dark sunglasses, and a thick, course mohawk on his dirty skull. He wore a leather suit, with a crossbow at his hands. He shot an arrow again.
I deflected the attack with my knife, with it barely impaling me. I narrowed my eyes at the monsters, and the skeleton dude.
"I AM THE MIGHTY SKELETON, SIR KNIFER! I HAVE COME TO END THIS GROUP OF DEMIGODS!" The skeleton jumped into the air, and shot a volley of arrows. We barely missed them by a hair.
"I've never heard of him." Lucas muttered.
"Because he's an outcast, like me." Celestia said.
Another wave of arrows came, but we were unprepared. Fortunately, Celestia blew them away with a gust of green mist.
"Thanks." Lucas said.
A flaming arrow came towards Lucas, and he blocked it with his shield.
"We need to get up close!" I announced.
Celestia hooked us with her arm, then launched us towards the battle with green mist surrounding us. We landed right on top of the hydra, next to Sir What-his-face.
"RAWWR!!" Sir Knifer screeched. "You can never defeat moi! By Pluto's command, I shall slay you all!"
"Pluto?" I asked.
"He's the roman name for Hades, as you call him!" The skeleton blinked, remembering his thought of killing us. "NOW, I SHALL KILL YOU!"
Sir Knifer took out a double bladed sword, sharpened to the tip. He was about to throw it at us like a spear, but the hydra suddenly roared. I looked down and saw golden water flowing out of a hole in the hydra's chest. Sara was being coated with the golden water.
"Ichor." Lucas said. "The blood of the immortals."
The ichor was now jetting out of the hydra, when Sara stabbed the monster again. The hydra roared in pain, then turned to sea colored dust. I landed on my back.
"GRAAAAAH!!!!!!!" Sir Knifer charged at us in rage, his flaming eyes gradually getting wilder.
Celestia blocked his attack for me with a solid mass of green mist. The skeleton was knocked back, but got his crossbow out and started shooting a volley of bombed arrows. The volley landed with so much nuclear explosions, the minotaur turned to brown dust. I held my breath as I saw many of the campers get knocked down from the energy. The attack stopped when fire was all around me. I saw some campers struggling to stand up.
The fire stung my eyes, and there was no sign of the skeleton. When I saw him, the skeleton launched a green glowing arrow at me. It skimmed my shoulder, injecting pain and poison into me. The skeleton laughed and disappeared. As for I, the world turned black, with me wondering if I died or simply blacked out.
