waves crashed against the hull of the Argo II and thunder rumbled above churning water. the sounds of a roaring sea monster and the attack attempts of the Seven filled the air.

a hum of electricity lingered in the atmosphere as Jason tried to hit the thrashing, slashing monster, with lightning.

Hazel used her Spatha and tried to get in a good hit, but it was hard to get in close with such a massive opponent.

Frank was launching explosive arrows at the thing's face, but it only seemed to daze the monster, and his quiver was running out.

Piper and Annabeth attacked in slashing coordinated bursts with their daggers, while Leo hurled exploding trinkets at the writhing monster.

it was tall, scaly, big, and had tons of tendrils that kept crashing into the warship as it tried to swipe the Demigods off the boat. It left gaping holes in the metal that Leo would have to fix later, but they had to focus on surviving first.

Percy had been doing his best to use the water to pull the monster back into the sea, when he heard a thwack, a shriek, and the crack of the ships railing. he glanced back, eyes darting around the scene and finding no sign of you.

Percy immediately ran to the edge of the boat and dove in after you. bubbles erupted in his wake, blocking his vision as he searched the depths for a sign of you, anything. Please.

he couldn't lose you. Not like this. Even when he'd just abandoned his friends to fight the monster to find you. He'd do it again.

Percy could breathe underwater, but you couldn't.

he felt your presence in the deep and darted towards it, finding your limp body, surrounded with wooden shrapnel and a faint red tint in the water. You were hurt by that damn monster.

he pulled you up to the surface in a ripple of speed, arms wrapped tightly around your torso. Hoping. Praying, that you would be okay. how could he let this happen?

Percy rose the tide and slid onto the deck of the Argo II, still holding you in his arms as he sunk to the wood plank floor and tried to make sure you were breathing - even with the monster fight raving behind him.

a tendril crashed into the deck beside him and the boat swayed ad rocked, but Percy's eyes stayed glued on you.

"Get up." he pleaded to himself, shaking your shoulders slightly. He was starting to panic.
