Percy POV
My day was good until that dragon attacked.
Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Nico and I were sitting at the Poseidon table eating our breakfast. After the Giants war everybody just started sitting at whatever table they wanted and Chiron eventually stopped scolding us for it. I was just talking to Jason, who was on my left, when a powerful roar echoed through Dining Pavilion.
Everyone jumped from their seats and grabbed their weapons. I locked eyes with my friends at the table and we started running towards the noise, all other campers behind us. I made my way to my Wise Girl and yelled:
„What was that?"
„It sounded like drakon or dragon." answered Annabeth, clutching her bone sword.
„But how did it get into the camp?" asked Piper next to her.
„Maybe it came from the forest or someone allowed it inside like a joke. If it was the Stolls again I′m gonna kill them!" growled Nico.
That was when we arrived and saw the monster near the forest line. It was only a dragon, but this one looked scarier, like it was emitting an aura of death. It was at least 7 metres tall, with purple scales on the underside and wings and black scales everywhere else. Its claws, horns and tongue were green. Around the neck was some jewel, but I couldn′t look closer, because a burst of blue fire erupted from its mouth and few nearby trees caught on fire. Nymphs immediately appeared and started extinguishing the flames. I heard Nico curse next to me:
„Oh crud, if it is what I think it is we have a problem! Only Stygian Iron or something similar to it can touch it or hurt it, but the dragon can touch you!"
„How is that possible?! When it can touch me, it means I can touch it too!" argued Annabeth and I kinda agreed with her. It didn′t make sense.
„And even if it was true we are kind of out of Stygian Iron!" Jason added his two cents.
„Well, we can try!" shouted Piper and when we got close enough to attack; she first lunged at monster′s hind leg from behind. Our eyes widened, when her sword went right through it. Piper rolled away to avoid the monster′s claws. Well I didn′t expect that it will go right through it.
„Okay, we have new plan! We will distract it so Nico can attack it, because only his weapon can affect it!" Annabeth yelled her battle plan.
„We had some plan?!" asked her Jason sarcastically. But everyone complied, scattered and started yelling at the dragon or shooting him with arrows. Even if they didn′t have any effect, they were really annoying.
„Hey, Mr. Ugly Dragon! Bet′cha you can′t catch a puny demigod like me!" I shouted loudly to gain its attention. It worked perfect, because the dragon turned its head towards me and opened mouth. I dodged the oncoming blast of fire and started running to the left so Nico will have a chance to get it from behind. Dragon followed me with his eyes, full of hatred and his body was turning to face me. Dragon sneered and a blue smoke came out of his mouth. Instinctively I covered my eyes, but I couldn′t see anything and that was all time that the dragon need. Suddenly a jaw full of teeth emerged from the smoke and almost snapped me in half. I leapt out of the way and Jason finally decided to help me and shouted:
„Hey buddy over here!"
And when dragon turned to him, Jason pointed his blade to the sky and yelled. Lighting stroke down to the sword and jumped onto the dragon. Dragon only roared in pain, but looked mostly unharmed. Then he suddenly screeched and turned his head to his rear end where Nico stood with his sword in the monster′s shin. But it wasn′t enough and dragon was still standing.
But before Nico could leap into the action again, some unknown voice echoed above all of ours:
„Hey Darkie! I′m right here!"
That got dragon′s attention as well as campers′ and everybody stopped attacking. Dragon slowly turned its head towards the voice and I swear I saw a hint of fear in its eyes. I turned my head to see a teenage boy with black hair coming out of the forest. He wasn′t wearing armour, but a simple blood red
T-shirt, black jeans and black combat boots. But the most noticeable thing about him were his weapons. He was holding a Stygian Iron sword with green hue, silver and green rifle on his back and pair of guns with the same design were strapped to his waist. But before I could look closer he charged at the dragon.
Dragon in response twisted fully to face his new opponent and roared. Then it sent a burst of green flames towards the mysterious guy, who expertly dodged. When he got into the attacking distance, he dived to avoid its head and stabbed it in the front leg. Dragon grunted in pain, but didn′t die. Guy dodged its claws and rolled away to gain some distance and started zigzagging around the dragon to confuse it. Suddenly he started running really fast straight towards the dragon. Dragon roared again and sent a burst of flames toward the guy, who instead of dodging, somersaulted and landed behind its head. When he landed, he thrusted the sword and buried it in the neck of the dragon all the way to the hilt. Dragon howled in pain and instead of dissolving into the golden dust, like any other monster would, it evaporated into the green mist that was sucked inside the green gem on the hilt of the sword.
Guy stood up on the ground, where was a dragon just few moments ago, panting, but he didn′t look injured.
Now everybody was staring at him, too shocked to move. He was looking at us a little bit nervous, like we will attack him too. I could practically feel the building tension in the air so I blurted the first thing that came to my mind to ease it:
„Who are you?"
Yeah that wasn′t my best line. Annabeth and Nico glared at me. Guy looked at me and I had to suppress a shiver. Those blue eyes were like glaciers. They were cold and unfeeling, but they barely concealed the inner turmoil and pain. He smirked and answered:
„I′m Daniel Fenton, son of Thanatos."
