PERCY
Percy's blue pancakes suddenly tastes like lead.
He couldn't forget the day Gaea got blasted in the face by a very high intensity ultraviolet explosion, plus an onager projectile that screamed like a little girl, the heck. It's also the day his comrade has sacrificed himself to kill the ugly dirt face. Things got more blue when Nico spoiled the moment when he approved that he had sensed Leo's soul drift off into the Underworld... poor Leo. Percy really hoped he could get over it, like what Jason said, 'He wouldn't die that easily'.
The month of August really made a happy, and at the same time a lonely ending. He got up for a quick stroll at camp to see how thing's going. He couldn't help it but, as he walked and looked at his steps, a tear trickled down the right side of his face.
"Hey cupcake!" a familiar bleating voice called.
Percy swiftly wiped his tear away. Yep, sure enough it the Karate-goat, coach hedge who called him, holding in his arms a mini satyr with a red head band on its forehead.
"Hi coach! And uhm, Chuck," Percy waved. Quite enough to give Percy a happy thought for today, but above all dreams of him and Annabeth's life, which is about to come true, sadness still loomed over him.
After just a few minutes of walking in a circle, tiredness took over his body, he went to his cabin. Percy sat silently at his bunk bed and stared at campers doing their normal daily routines outside.
"Sorry for trespassing your cabin Percy."
A jolt of surprise ran through Percy's body, as if he saw a ghost.
"Dude! Nico stop doing that. I could be doing something so private, that's not supposed to be seen... specially by a son of Hades." Percy's pretty sure Nico understood what he said. Which led into an awkward silent staring contest... awkward.
"I felt something weird about Leo's soul," Nico said as if his mouth is the only thing moving.
Percy's heart fell, What a nice topic to start on di Angelo. "What do you mean?" Percy asked.
Nico bit his lip. "I... I don't sense his soul in the Underworld any more." he replied.
Percy's heart leapt. "So... which means-"
Something flashed outside.

PIPER
"DRAGON ATTACK!" someone squealed somewhere by the beach.
"Isn't it to early to have another problem throughout the peaceful afternoon?" Piper shouted.
"Probably, an aftershock," Annabeth smirked. "Wanna check it out?"
"First one to slay, the strongest of us two!"
They foot raced towards the beach of Long Island Sound. Piper grabbed Katopris off the side of her jeans. Demigods also started to head towards the beach suiting up getting ready for another epic battle, one kid close to the age of 12 wore his oversized breastplate the opposite direction, so he looked like a shrunken quarterback.
Then she saw it just half a mile to the beach a dragon is flapping towards the camp. Just where she was standing, she could see the blurred details of the creature, shiny scales, a dog with wings, yep sounds like a dragon to me.
"Just a few seconds it would hit the magical barrier. Wait for it," Annabeth counted. "It passed through the barrier!"
Apollo kids aimed their arrows at the dragon, stood behind the row of archers is Will Solace, wearing a stained green surgeon's shirt, which is not also an advisable battle attire, counting off before giving the signal to shoot.
Just a split-second before Will's about to shout fire. "Stop! Everyone stop!" Percy emerged from the crowd. "That's no ordinary dragon... it's FESTUS!"
Piper squinted her eyes to see its clear features, why didn't she noticed that the dragon's body is smoking.
"Get out of the way!" Annabeth ordered, enough to get them back to their senses.
The mechanical dragon, aka Festus, aka Happy the dragon, swerved and swooped down to the shore with a THUD! Riding on its back's Leo!
Leo grinned at the campers. "Guess who's ba- ooof!" Leo got ejected of his seat and slammed face-first into the sand. "Dam it Festus!"
Campers giggled."Let's start over again. Guess who broke his back?!" Leo glared at Festus, who did a series of creaks and clicks, which probably meant, oops, my bad. The whole crowd boomed with laughter. "And guess who I brought back with me." Leo went back to Festus'side and escorted a lady with a strait golden brown hair to the shore, her aura gleamed like a Goddess. "Meet, Calypso."
Cheering went wild in the Demigods, "Caleo! Caleo! Caleo!" as they brought the new couple through camp.
