Lunar's Plight

A 'Friendly' Meeting

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson, nor Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does

Percy's POV:

I stared at the Minotaur and he charged me with his axe held high. I rushed forward with Riptide and Lunar's Light in my hands. As I got within striking distance, the minotaur swung his axe down, trying to cleave me in half. I simply raised my blades in an X-formation and stopped his attack cold. I then pushed the axe away and I spun to the other side.

The minotaur jumped to the side and swung his axe at me trying to cut me in two. I bent back as well as bent my knees allowing the blade to pass over me. I sprung up and lunged forward swinging my blades at the minotaur's side. The blades connected but he jumped away at the last moment, causing my attack to leave nothing but a small shallow gash in his side that caused him to roar in anger.

The minotaur then charged me recklessly and I sighed, he would learn soon enough to control his anger. As he reached me I lunged forward and made a quick slash with both of my swords through his stomach causing him to explode into a puff of golden dust. I sighed and willed Lunar's light away and then turned my attention to the now empty bridge.

'Let's destroy it, then we won't have to deal with this place again' Iota said and I figured he was the brains of the operation 'You got that right, I'm the brains, Instinct is the muscle, together we create you' Iota clarified and I scoffed

"Alright, lets destroy it" I said aloud as I dug Riptide into the metal bridge and created a colossal Earth Quake that caused cracks to spread out a spider web across the bridge

In a few moments, the bridge started to crumble and I leapt back using moonlit step to appear at the start of the bridge. I then turned around and started strolling down the road making sure to take my time as I quickly went over my weapons.

~one hour later~

I calmly strolled up to a statue that had a basket of fruit in her hand.

"Oh another demigod, how delightful" the statue sneered and I did a double take "Yes, I am talking mortal" she continued and I tried to remember who she was

'Pompona Goddess of Plenty' Iota informed me and I nodded to him mentally

"Lady Pompona, I apologize for my lack of respect" I told the statue who looks completely stunned before looking at me and smiling

"So, a demigod that knows his gods and goddesses, very well, you have my respect demigod" Pompona said and I nodded before walking into the hotel where I saw most of the campers there.

"Where is Phoebe?" I asked immediately as I saw Thalia sitting there with crying worried eyes

"She is upstairs, though I don't think she will make it, the poison was strong and Phoenix is doing all he can but I fear it won't be enough" Thalia said and I nodded as I made my way upstairs and saw an open door and the familiar voice of Phoenix cursing

I quickly walked in, closed the door and locked it. I then looked around to see Phoenix, Zoe, and Ether standing over Phoebe who was extremely pale. I quickly made my way over to her and without even looking at me Phoenix started to fill me in.

"Titan poison" He said simply and the information came to me as it was one of the poisons we learned in training

"Slowly saps the strength from the victim to make the poison stronger, only one known way to cure it" I continued the information as I looked at the arrow wound and then at the arrow while he continued to heal Phoebe

"The guardian of the group the victim belongs too" Phoenix said with a smirk

"But Percy is dead..." Ether said in confusion as Phoebe turned her head and looked at me causing me to smirk
