"A-Axel?! Hold up! What are you doing?!" I shout as I stumble after him not too gracefully. I look back at Skale over my shoulder. Oceanus. A titan. Holy crap on a cracker. My grip tightened on Axel's hand and I continued on, faster than before. Every step smacked Aurelius into my back and neither of us were too happy about it.
Agatha's... well, Agatha's at a loss for words.
It's too early for this, she's drunk off her ass, and- and well- these kids just conjured stuff up out of nowhere. Not to mention the... god?... rising out of the water with a huge shark face and a bad attitude.
One of the kids, "Yuuki," she thinks she heard, breaks off from the group of scrambling adolescents and runs to her.
"Uh... what do I do?" Agatha asks, but she has a feeling that it would be better to just let her instinct take over and run with it.

"Yuuki, get her and run," I shout to them seing them stopped. I stop and turn to fire another arrow, this one a fire arrow from the click of a button, straight at the Titan. I hate titans, I really do, so I turn to keep going.

Yuuki nods to Syra before reaching to grasp the new girls hand. "My apologies miss, but what looks like a boy taken over by a God and a Titan are about to clash, most likely killing anyone nearby, I think it would be best if you come with me." Yuuki smiles. "Name Yuuki by the way, captain of the Hecate cabin and master of magic."
Axel just runs faster, uncaring at this point for anything but Xenia's safety.
Above the water, Skale and Oceanus crash into one another, water exploding into the air and being launched in all direction. The water takes the form of dragons, sharks, horses, fish, unable to be stopped it repeatedly bashes into itself. "Leave Titan!" Skale's voice, which does not sound like his own, booms over the camp and the water.
Oceanus laughs and continues the fight, strain already forming from the small amount of control he has of the area.

I'm on grass as I run away and wonder if any of my arrows hit him with all his moving. I didn't watch since I wanted to get away. I see I'm the camper furthest away from the mess hall and glance back at skale and the Titan. There has to be something ican do to help skale, but I can't get in the water without Definitely drowning. "Yuuki, how can skale beat a Titan?" I call to him as I get closer. I stop to turn and fire yet again. I don't care if they do nothing, the most it could do was give skale a chance to get in to hit the Titan, the worst would to have the Titan come after me which I think is not likely since he's more focused on skale right now.
I start to breath hard. I'm a sprinter; I don't do distance. I pushed on a little farther. Until, I let go of Axel's hand and stopped.
"You don't even know where we are going!" I accused. I know it's true, but why is he dragging me away?! Everyone else is back there! I need to know that they are safe.
"What are you trying to do?" I ask him, trying to slow my breathing.
"Forgive me not introducing myself, I'm kind of busy processing all this," Agatha says, hands shaking and glancing around wildly at the scene before her, trying not to puke. "I'm with you," she concedes.

As I crept out on a branch I find a large watery mass off in the ocean. Below it there was a mass of people watching it. Confused, I leaped through the trees to get a closer look. I could start making out the rough features of the giant water mass as if it were human. My hand hovers near to my sword prepared for anything unexpected. I finally reach the edge of the forest but I was no where near close enough to attain a full input of what was going on. There seemed to be three small figures out in the front of the group. Chances were they'd be crushed my this giant-humanoid-watery figure.

Axel stares silently at her for several seconds before speaking. "Poseidon has taken over Skale's body, Oceanus will not last much longer, and Skale will most likely die. The mess hall is the safest place, we can do nothing, no matter how hard we try. Just get in there, let his sacrifice mean something."
Yuuki jogs off with Agatha's wrist in hand. "Just be careful, the grass is sometimes slippery." He chuckles and passes Axel. "Get her inside."

"What?" I nearly shout when I hear axel barely. I stop and look back at skale. I now notice his tiredness and see how he was beating Oceanus. "Yuuki," I shout running up beside him, "do you think that I can help him so he wont die by giving him energy?"

(( She always had 11, this section doesn't add to post count ))
Yuuki shakes his head sadly as he jogs by with Agatha. "It will be the will of his father and the gods for him to survive. Just go inside... We will honor him when this has ended."
Oceanus launches several shark shaped plumes of water as Skale conjures a large trident in a swirling mass of water. He holds it above him and launches it, stopping Oceanus and launching him several hundred yards away. Skale falls for a second before reawakening and returning to his position.

"Dang," I say realizing even though skales being controlled by his father, he was holding back at the pier when he nearly lost control. I continue on, mad I can't help, and run beside yuuki and the new girl. "Skale and axel shouldn't have tried to leave," I say not really talking to anyone specifically. I'm just so frustrated and want things to be the way they were when I first arrived at camp.

Yuuki shakes his head. "If they did not leave, Skale would not have known what was coming and we would have been attacked without warning. Just for once Syra, stop trying to be the mother you aren't, and thank him for sacrificing himself." His words are not meant to harm her, but make her realize she is whining and being selfish.
Shock registers on my face. Skale is going to die? No. Not another friend. He's the reason I'm here. He saved me from drowning. He's just going to die? No way. I owe him for saving my life! I can't just let him die! Not when I owe him. I grab Axel's arm.
"There's gotta be something we can do! Anything at all! I'll do it." I tell him determinedly. I can't just give up on him. I'm not sure that anything I can do can have any effect on a titan. Not even when Aurelius shines like the sun. I sigh, racking my brain.

"There is nothing we can do!" Axel says. "Just let him go, he is trying to save us! Do you want his sacrifice to be for nothing Do you want him to die for nothing? I sure as hell don't, just let him go..." Axel's eyes are clearly saddened, the idea of losing another person burning through his mind. "Lets just go be safe... He doesn't have much time left."
I stared at Skale, who technically wasn't Skale anymore. I laced my fingers through Axel's and walked into the mess hall. I realize tears are welling up in my eyes. No. I'm not going to cry, he's doing this to help us. Most of the campers were watching the fight through the big windows. I just wanted to be away from them; I don't want to watch him die. I don't think anyone who was his friend does. I sit down at one of the table.
"How fast things can fall apart." I murmur wistfully.

I shake my head and when I arrive at the mess hall, enter without saying a word. I don't look at yuuki or axel, its not that I want to be the mother, its that I want to stop seeing people I've come to know and love die. Skale was always there for me and I can't even think about him being gone. I don't talk to anyone as I make my way around the mess hall to a back corner where I sit down looking away from the fight. If someone would help skale and his father than there'd be no point in a death if we played our cards right. Deaths been too close to me, literally when I had that conversation with Thantos that seems like forever ago.

After many minutes of violence, it all ends with a loud clap, water begins to rain upon the camp as the fighting stops. Oceanus lays on the sand, slowly getting to his feet, his body nearly destroyed. Skale lays beside him, in worse shape but a smile across his tanned face. Oceanus grabs him and slithers into the sea, something visible to all the campers within the mess hall.

"No," I whisper as I see the last bit. I stand and storm from the mess hall, ignoring the rain and making my way to the forest. I don't watch for followers, I don't look back. I'm too mad at everything that's happened. When I see I've come upon Zeuss fist, I climb it. Halfway up, I slip and cut my hand. I grit my teeth and keep going. When I reach the top, I don't bother with my hand. I watch the camp for a few seconds before I turn to watch the forest behind me, not wanting to look at the camp. I keep wanting, I can't have the death free life I want. Death is always there, but that doesn't mean it can't be prevented. The death of someone that could have been prevented is the waste of a life. I bring my knees to my chin as I close my eyes to try and calm down. I'm nearly entirely alone, I can't help skale, and I couldn't help any of my friends or relatives that died. "Why?" I ask aloud not expecting an answer.
