Piper's point of view,

I was fighting hard just like everyone else, for the most part I had just faced monsters so far but I figured that probably wouldn't last. That thought wasn't exactly wrong since the monster that approached me next would definitely be harder to beat than the other monsters I had encountered so far. I had never faced her before but it didn't take me long to figure out who she was.

Her upper body was that of a woman but her lower half was the worst, she had the lower body of a dragon,her lower half was covered in scales and she had extremely sharp claws. From her waist hung numerous snakes hissing and snapping just looking for something, or someone to bite. The woman's hair was even more snakes. last but not least around her waist her skin changed constantly usually taking the shape of the heads of animals.

I knew who she was all right, I'd heard what had happened at camp half blood during the battle of the labyrinth I knew that Briaries the hundred handed one had beaten her the last time by crushing her under a pile of rocks that had previously made up a rock formation known as Zeus's fist. It seemed like Kampe must have aquired new scimitars since I knew that her old ones were in the attic of the big house, bent from the impact of the rocks.

I knew that she definitely wouldn't be easy to beat but then again I'm a goddess now, I've had a lot of training, and the other olympians were nearby so I figured that at least one of them would help me if I needed it. I turned Katoptris into a sword, and summoned a shield to my other hand, I lke to think that I'm decent with a sword but I'm not even close to being as good as Percy. I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to him, I figured he would be fine, after all he'd been through a lot in his life and he seemed to be able to come back from just about anything,

I still can't help but worry about him though, after all we are still good friends you can't really go through a war together without forming some kind of bond. I could tell that Amber was extremely worried even though she did her best to hide it. Honestly it reminds me of how Annabeth was acting when I first came to camp. Now it wasn't hard for me to tell how much Percy and Amber loved each other since once they were married they hand't really tried to hide it.

I pushed aside the thoughts of Percy, needing to concentrate on the powerful monster in front of me. I parried a slash from one of Kampe's scimitars knowing that if I got stabbed by one of those things I might have to reform because I didn't know if Apollo had an antidote to the poison on them. I tried to land a strike on her but it just went into the open mouth of a bear's head that had popped out from her waist. It seemed I wouldn't be able to best her on my own and I wasn't quite desperate enough to resort to my powers.

I kept on battling her not yet able to land a hit on her just trying to prevent her from killing me. I barely noticed anything else that was going on besides my incredibally dificult fight with kampe. I let my shield go for a moment and instead shot a beam of power at her. It hit her in the chest catching her off guard and knocking her back a step. That didn't last long though since she quickly recovered and sent more attacks my way. I quickly summoned my shield once again, not wanting to leave a gap in my defenses that she could exploit.

I battled her for what seeemed like forever until I realized that I'd fallen for a feint. I tried to recover and save myself but one of her scimitars peirced my stomach. I shot one last beam of power at her in a feeble attempt to take down the monster that had most likely just caused me to have to reform. I fell to the ground and I lost conciousness, I had no idea if I had succeded in killing Kampe but it seemed that I wouldn't find out unless I healed or reformed.

Hermes' Point of View

"Shit!" I shouted as I noticed Piper was in trouble. I killed the monster that was in front of me before making my way over to her as quickly as I could manage. Even though I got to her rather quickly I was still too late and one of Kampe's scimitars had peirced her stomach. Apollo must have noticed what was going on because just before kampe was going to try and attack me a golden arrow came out of nowhere and pierced her eye. Moments afterward a second one peirced her chest.

It seemed that was enough because she quickly became a pile of gold dust. Soon Apollo was standing beside me. he picked up Piper's motionless body and seemed to examine her, "Somehow she's not gone yet, but I honestly don't think I can heal this much damage, and that poison that Kampe used is from the deapths of tartarus, I don't know if I will be able to find an antidote in time,"

He left to start tending to her, but he wasn't gone too long. He would eventually have to check on her again but for now he was needed here. We continued fending off the army of monsters unsure of how long it would be before we encountered the worst of our enemies. Monsters just seemed to keep coming, just when you killed one a new one would take it's place.

It was like what happens in the vidiogames mortals like so much, what do the mortals call it? respawning? Whatever the word was, the battle was a lot like that. Unfortunnately though that comparison only really applied to the monsters since even with us and the minor gods helping we were still losing far too many of our children, and now with Piper, Percy, and Dionysus either injured or MIA we have fewer forces than we had anticipated.

The primordials did eventually show up, but like us they couldn't assume their true forms due to our demigod children being here as well. We were restricted to our other abilites and our symbols of power. The battle raged on as I focused on the enemies in front of me killing one after another. I couldn't help but wonder about Percy, I had faith that he would be fine and be back before long, I consider him a good friend, and I expect he will probably come back soon enough.

I honestly felt sorry for Jason Grace, my younger Roman half brother, after all he and Piper had been happily married, and I'd heard rumors that they were thinking about having children. I knew that if Apollo couldn't save her Piper would either reform or fade. Reforming was more likely but there is still always a chance that she might not Come back. For Jason's sake though I hoped that she would make it.

Ever since his and Piper's marrige I saw Jason more often since he usually stayed on olympus with her when he wasn't at the demigod camps, and since most of the new cabins and temples had been built he was able to spend more time with her. I knew he was around here somewhere but I don't think he knows yet what had happened to Piper.

After Kampe was dead I encountered mostly less powerful monsters from that point on I tried to concentrate on the battle but I couldn't help but worry for my children, I do care about them and since most of the ancient laws that had prevented us from helping them had been removed I was able to help them more than I used to. Even though we were on the front lines some monsters would still slip by us leading to our children having to face them.

Far too often I would screams of pain and I knew that most likely one of our children was injured or about to die. Even with all the forces we had I wasn't sure if we could win this battle, the force of monsters was immense with everything from cyclopses and centaurs to Laistrygonian giants and the minotaur. I'm pretty sure I could see Artemis and her hunters shooting arrows at a group of Lycaon's werewolves.

Along with our allies Poseidon had summoned his army of cyclopses, Tyson was still the general. I think that he and that red harpy are Aphrodite's latest obsession, since I'd once overheard her going on about how cute they are. I don't usually pay much attention to Aphrodite when she starts rambling about a couple like that, I'd just happened to over that much.

Hades had also summonned a force of the dead, but there was a limit to how many he could summon due to an ancient law. I'm not entirely sure since I don't really remember but I think my father had insisted on putting it in place due to his paranoia about Hades rebelling against him, and since it hadn't come up until now no-one had thought to remove it since Percy had taken over as king.

The battle seemed almost endless as I killed monster after monster I couldn't help but wonder how long it would be before we face Nyx Pontus, Hydros, and Erebus. It made sense that they would stay near the back of their forces, by doing so it meant that we would be weaker once we get to them and easier for them to defeat us.one flaw in there plan though is that I don't think they realize just how many allies we've made, and they might not even know that some of their own have joined us.

Percy's point of view

Once I stopped panicing long enough to really think about I eventually realized that I hadn't faded and I wasn't in tartarus, honestly I had kind of overreacted since I remembered something that Apollo had told me back when he was training me after I first became a god. Basically as long as I had just lost a lot of energy without aquiring any fatal injures my body would just basically force me into a state similar to unconciousness in order to regain the energy I had lost.

At first I was unable to force myself out of it, and that was the main cause of why I had started freaking out since I was worried that I wouldn't be able to help in the battle, I was worried about all my family and friends since I wasn't there to protect them if they were in danger. I eventually managed to force my eyes open only to shut them again when they were met with bright sunlight. Why does Apollo have to be so damn bright? As I regained consciousness my sense of time returned to me and I realized that the battle in Greece had most likely already started. 

This is a bit shorter than usual but I've kind of run into writers block on this story, if you have any suggestions for what could happen in future chapters feel free to tell me. I thought about putting Percy's awakening off for a little longer but I figured after how the chapter started I should give you something good. Don't get me wrong I love Piper she is one of my favourite characters, I just think that stories where no one gets hurt are inaccurate and just plain wrong.
