Silent Starlight

"Here comes Percy" I said as Professor Tiberian Smith called his name. He walked on to the stage, his purple academic robe oddly draped on his blue-black tux and his black graduation cap with golden lettered SPQR propped on his head.
"Persues Jackson. BSc oceanography. Good work Percy!" the Professor said.
"Way to go man !" Frank shouted as he casually ran into the Forum with Reyna and her metal dogs trailing behind him. Frank thumped Percy on his shoulder in the most un-Roman way.
" Thanks" Percy said, as he pecked me on my forehead and sat down beside me on my right. Frank and Reyna were yet to be seated when a humungous flash of lightning split open the forum's roof.Outside, it really was storming, the kind of storm that cracks trees and blows down houses. Rain poured in slushy slanting torrents, than all of a sudden, I heard a cock crow..
" Chickens! Big flying chicken-ponies...No..pony-chickens" yelled Julia, the little assisstant of Terminus as she stormed into the Forum, her hair shabby and blood trickling down he left ears..
By instinct, Percy uncapped his Riptide, transforming the pen into his Anaklusmos sword. Reyna drew out her gladius, while I took my Drakon-bone dagger and Frank shape-shifted into a hamster (I don't know why he did it! Don't ask me). All others, including the Professor, drew their weapons, ready for the combat.

"Well, Well !" the leader of Hippalectryons smirked. "What do we have here? Pity...Pity. A bunch of angry Romans, a hamster and two Graecus ? I can't wait to crunch your bones! Hehe"

The Hippalectryons had the front half of a horse, the rear half a rooster's wings, tail and legs complete with silver mane and yellow feathers.

"Who are you?" Reyna asked.

" I am Hydrargyrum, the All- soverign king of Hippalectryons"

"O! Mighty Hydrargyrum, I, the son of the vast seas, the scion of the earthshaker, Master of all equine beings, Son of posiedon,Senator of Twelfth Legion Fulminata, Persues Jackson command you, LEAVE US!!" Percy said. He usually had a way with horses and all other equine, horsey creatures. But now his words seemed to have lost it's power.

" Blah! Blah! We left the service of your father long ago. We fought on the side of Giants and Earth Mother...but you sacrilegious sinners lulled her to sleep. But, then unknown to all...She came! The Mother of all that is in existance....She is our now patron, an enemy so powerful, you puny beasts can barely imagine" The Hippalectryon said. " Forward my people! Attack! To the Mother's Victory Fight!!!"
With that thounsands of Hippalectryons flooded out of nowhere. We were massively outnumbered. The entire Camp Jupiter had been taken over by these pests
I, Percy and Reyna took positions. We stood back with all three of our backs to each other. They didn’t make any move to attack, they simply cornered us.
Frank shapeshifted into a battle-pachyderm.
“Annabeth, Frank, Reyna, whatever happens he’s mine.That Hydrargyrum. I'll venge this humiliation. Don’t interfere unless I tell you to.” He was so stubborn,
“Yep, as you say man." Reyna said. But I wasn't so sure... I almost lost him once due to Hera's 'brilliant' brain-wipe plans...I'd dragged all the way to the hell-hole of Tartarus...I wouldn't...couldn't lose him again. With a silent prayer to my mother, I charged, as did the others.

Percy lunged at him, and a song of clashing swords began. The rooster definitely had an upper hand when it came to combat but not by much. They scratched, bit and breath fire. I wanted to help Percy, so bad...just get him some water, but I knew I couldn't do it.

Just then 12 hellhounds and two empousai, stepped around them, encircling us baring their teeth at me and Reyna
.
I looked around but I couldn’t find Frank. He had been an Elephant, which isn't exactly small enough to miss out. But where was he ? I drew my drakon-bone dagger and started at the first hell hound. They were strong and quick. Some I slew by sword others by stealth. I wore my New York Yankees cap, which had regained it's magic. I fought invisible. Reyna cut through both the empousai. Suddenly a hell-hound, pounced on me. I never knew they could see the invisible but I fought on. By the time I was almost done, I was bloody and on my knees trying to catch my breath. Reyna lay to my left with a large gashing rooster-claw wound on her face, her shining toga, now blood-drenched.
Near my feet half a dozen bird mites gathered. They got together in the formation of a five letter word, 'F-R-A-N-K'. Frank had changed into a bunch of mites? Even before I wrapped my thoughts, Frank went berserk and mercilessly attacked the roosters. They all started going nuts. Hippalectryons fell one after one. I and Reyna regained our spirits and fought again but then....I heard him cry out....Percy...
Percy was on his hands and knees blood flowing from numerous wounds, the worst one right in his top-right chest between the shoulder joints, where a Celestial Bronze sword was stuck. Above his eyebrow flowing over his scalp was another one . His raven black hair was slicked with sweat and blood. I tried to help but I literally couldn't move I practically drained and began to pass out.

Tears were in Percy's eyes. Frank and Reyna ran to his aid but were struck down with two imperial golden daggers in their ankle. Hydrargyrum threw his sword aside and casually crackled his talons. Then he raised his yellow claws "The greatest son of Poseidon of all time. Slayer of Kronos , bane of Gaea, Envy of Gods, here you lay helpless at my feet, waiting to be killed with my Imperial Gold talons." He kicked him with his horse-legs. He raised his claws above his head and I watched helplessly as his nails came down. "Now...Nobody can stop us! Not even death can"

"Maybe death can't stop you, but I sure can!" a shrilly grandma's voice announced from behind the forum as a Celestial Bronze Coffee Mug flew through the air and crashed on the rooster's head vaporizing him to yellow dust.
