PERCY HADN'T SEEN ENDORA since the beginning of the battle. His eyes searched all over the place as he raced to help the others, but there was no sight of the girl. His mind raced, his heart banging against his ribcage, adrenalin pumping though his veins. He hoped she was not one of the bodies he passed or one of the brave ones fighting with other demigods.
He hoped she didn't encounter her brother.
Just when it seemed like the battle had balanced out again ─ like they might stand a chance ─ an unearthly shriek echoed out of the Labyrinth, a sound Percy had heard before.
Kampê shot into the sky, her bat wings fully extended. She landed on the top of Zeus's Fist and surveyed the carnage. Her face was filled with evil glee. The mutant animal heads growled at her waist. Snakes hissed and swirled around her legs. In her right hand she held a glittering ball of thread — Ariadne's string — but she popped it into a lion's mouth at her waist and drew her curved swords. The blades glowed green with poison. Kampê screeched in triumph, and some of the campers screamed. Others tried to run and got trampled by hellhounds or giants.
"Di Immortales!" Chiron yelled.
He quickly aimed an arrow, but Kampê seemed to sense his presence. She took flight with amazing speed, and Chiron's arrow whizzed harmlessly past her head. Tyson untangled himself from the giant whom he'd pummeled into unconsciousness. He ran at our lines, shouting, "Stand! Do not run from her! Fight!" But then a hellhound leaped on him, and Tyson and the hound went rolling away.
Kampê landed on the Athena command tent, smashing it flat.
Percy ran after her and found Annabeth at his side, keeping pace, her sword in her hand.
"Seen Endy?" Percy asked.
"Last time I saw, she was fighting with her brother." Annabeth said.
The boy's blood ran cold, "What?"
The blonde nodded, "Yeah, they were throwing spell after spell at each other. "We'll exchange stories later, now, let's finish this off."
