I rest my back on the bench. My muscles started to ache again.  My nose is bleeding and my ear also. I can feel it. I put my hand on my mouth, and I start coughing. My throat feels like it is on fire. I remove my hand and there's sludges of blood. Definitely not a good sign. 

I breathe in the air. My nose feels all stuffy. What am I supposed to tell them? They know I'm sick but how can I tell them I might be related to the Dragon Queen. The war will soon begin all over again and I can't really help Takhisis destroy everything. Can I? 

"Percy!" I hear a yell.

I turn and I see Annabeth and Grover running toward me. I stifle a wince and I walk over. Annabeth wraps her arms around me. She practically slams into me like a rhino. 

"Ow! Hi!" I exclaim.

She kisses me on the lips hard. I can't say this makes me feel any better. It really doesn't. I have learned that the world might be ending like always and that I am part dragon. So... I'm kind of in a bad moon. 

"What's wrong Percy?" Grover asked.

"Where would you like to begin?" I ask.
