The Lust for Power: Chapter 42

Mikmak’s POV

Even though I’m not fully recovered from our journey, I still participated at the capture the flag. It’s the perfect time to play it, for me, because I can throw all of my anger, disappointment, and sadness to the game by kicking someone else butts.

We team up with the Athena, Hephaestus, and with the twins of Artemis.

Percy instructed the plan by the help of Annabeth, of course. “Ok. Me, Annabeth and Gary will sneak to get their flag. Mikmak you go guard at the creek, make sure no one would get pass and…” Percy forgot. “The half of my siblings will help her to guard there. And the others will be divided again and make distractions. The Hephaestus kids in defensive. You must know how to make and memorize your plan, seaweed brain,” Annabeth frown at Percy.

“Er, Right,” He said. “Well soldiers got it?”

“GOT IT!” all of us replied.

I went to my assign place with a couple of Athens. Then the conch signal blew. The game started.

I heard yelling and shouting from the woods. The half of the Athens past and leaped to the other side of the creek and disappeared. I heard the sound of kids fighting. Suddenly five to eight ugly kids showed up from the woods. My group yelled and battled with them. When an enemy came closer to our side I would make a wave that will throw them back to their territory. Then I saw Clarisse kicking one of Annabeth’s siblings. I immediately ran to Clarisse and thrust her with my sword, somehow she deflected my attack. She slash and swung her spear at me, I did my best to dodge her attacks.

“HAHA you’re a fool!” she said. “Now I will be able to pulverize you!”

Just then I notice that she sent me away from the creek which was not good.

But luckily I still manage to avoid her attacks. “Now it’s my turn”

I side step her swing. I duck then I stomped her left foot. She screamed and her spear rattled to the stones. In instincts I stepped back on water and release a gigantic wave.

Then I saw Percy running away from three kids, he was holding the enemy’s flag. No. It’s not the flag, it’s a fake.

Then I saw Josh was running towards me, but not looking at me directly but to Percy. Probably he’s also deceived by the trick. But I couldn’t see the enemy’s flag at their territory.

Because my duty is to not let the opponents to cross the creek I blocked Josh.

“Sorry Josh, but no trespassing aloud,” I grinned.
