Percy POV
I communed a council at Camp Half-Blood. 'Well,' I began,' this is a dangerous mission and most of us might not return. I do not fight for my life and neither should any of you. We fight for the future, our future and the future of every living being with good inside of them. We fight not for the gods but for each other. To battle !'

I led the individuals End required to the Canyon. Upon our arrival, before either of us could move a black and purple forcefield of energy was erected around us. End appeared and opened his arms and a beaten up and bruised Luke appeared next to me with a relatively unscathed Zoe beside him. Luke had obviously taken damage in an attempt to protect Zoe.

"I can't say I'm eager to die again but neither am I willing to let you sacrifice yourself. We got this." Hassan declared as he unsheathed his axes while I pulled out my mace.
