I slam my tail into his trident again. He looks up and reaches for me. I claw his hand. He throws me back.

"Percy! Please! Fight this!" He yells. 

I let out a roar. I shoot forward. He dodges me. He's not fighting. He's merely escaping. I shoot for him again. He hits me with a hand of water. I slam into the earth. I wince. I stand up. 

"Percy Jackson is this how you want to be remembered?" He asks. 

I look up at him in surprise. I shoot for him. He throws the water up. It surrounds me like a cage. I hurdle through a disco ball of water. I can breathe. But it's hard to escape. I slam into it. Nothing happens. I feel the currents ripping through my scales.

"Think of everything! Annabeth! Grover! Sally!" He yells. 

Mom? Annabeth? Grover? I look at my reflection of the water and I see a monster. This isn't me. I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. I'm not Takhisis little pet.

"Percy!" I hear a yell.

I see Annabeth and Grover. They looked very worried at me, but I also see fear. I spew out black ooze. It burns and soothes my throat at the same time. I feel my wings disintegrating. I see my skin turning back to normal. Dad lets me down. I spew out water and black ooze. I feel... normal. At least I don't feel like a giant dragon monster. Grover and Annabeth run over. 

"I'm... good." I wince standing up.

"Percy Jackson come meet your death!" Takhisis yells from the top of her mountain.
