Traitor To The Gods; Hero To The Halfbloods [Percy Jackson]

18

Before anyone could do anything else, they heard a loud "Oof!" come from the room they landed in, followed by multiple curse words.

"PROCRUSTES!" a loud voice boomed. The door to the room was kicked open, a large figure blocking the light from the hall.

"PROCRUSTES!" he repeated, even louder this time.

He growled, muttering to himself. "Where is that little..."

Blackjack chose not to listen to his next words. He was crouched low to the ground, his wings covering his three companions to conceal them.

The man glanced around the room, not noticing the four intruders. "IT'S ME!" he paused, waiting for a response. "IT'S AGRIUS!" Another pause.

He groaned. He moved from the doorway, slamming the door behind him as he left, causing Blackjack to jump.

"Agrius...He's a Giant!" Piper whispered.

"Okay, how do we get rid of him?" asked Grover, who was clutching his leg fur tightly.

"In Greek mythology, Agrius was killed by the Fates with bronze clubs," the daughter of Aphrodite informed her friends.

"Well then, we're in luck."

Everyone turned to Jason, who was pointing at a cage. Inside was a large scorpion like creature, except, instead of claws, it had bronze clubs attached to its arms.

That's convenient, said Blackjack, his words only being heard by Grover.

Its stinger raised a little higher when Jason neared its cage. Its six green eyes were trained on the Roman demigod, who approached cautiously.

"Jason, wait. I don't think this is a good idea." Piper stopped him.

"Too late!" Her boyfriend yelled back at her. He swung his Imperial Gold sword at the lock, destroying it instantly, and jumped out of the way.

The creature leaped out of its cage, a loud and shrill shriek escaping its small fanged mouth.

It walked...crawled...slithered?...its way towards Jason, who stood stone still.

It stopped in front of him, causing the others in the room to hold their breaths in fear.

Blackjack had no doubt that Piper wanted to kill it right then and there, but didn't want to risk the creature freaking out and killing Jason.

The creature nuzzled Jason with its head. The son of Jupiter climbed onto it and whooped.

"I've always wanted a pet!"

Here, take this piece of shit. Uh, in case you couldn't tell, that creature is now Jason's pet so...yeah...yeah...
