I couldn't do anything for a few seconds when I just saw the Chimaera. I just sat there with Pit hugging me, who was oblivious to the beast.

Then instinct kicked in.

I tapped Pit's shoulder urgently, I felt sick. Pit pulled back with a smile "What is it Y/N?" he asks. I don't need to answer because Dark Pit does "Look behind you." even Dark Pit looks a bit creeped out.

Pit quickly turns around and looks at the beast for a second before looking back to me. He slowly holds me by my shoulders and drags me towards the cliff wall. I wince as a pebble hits my back, why is it always me?

The Chimaera steps out of the forest shadow and I can take a good look at it. It has three heads, one of a really big lion, a psychotic looking goat head and a snake. Its yellow eyes gleamed with cruelty and it prowled towards up, lashing its tail and licking its jaws. This is not going to be easy, especially since I can't move just yet.

"Y/N?" Pit says in a low voice "What happens if I die? Will we have to start all over again?" he asks. "No. As long as you are in the underworld you will be resurrected since your string is tied around your wrist- even if you can't see it. You will appear at the docks with the spirits though." I explain trying to remember all that the three fates had taught me.

"Pittoo, Y/N is hurt. I need you to distract it while I take her to safety." Pit instructs. Who died and made him leader??

Dark Pit nods and lunges for the Chimaera. Pit quickly sits me up and lifts me into his arms. If there wasn't a freaking Chimaera I would have probably slapped him by now, I knew now was not the time to complain.

He took me up to the edge of the forest and lifted me up as high as he could. "Do you think you could climb this tree?" came his voice from down below. "I'll try!" I called back. I gripped a branch with my arms and forced myself up.

I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore the pain coming from my back. Dark Pit was trying his best to distract the Chimaera but he couldn't distract it forever. Pit pushed me up and finally I scrambled onto the tree.

"Stay here, Y/N. We'll defeat it, okay?" Pit told me "Don't move! I don't want you getting hurt again!", before I could answer he threw himself into the fight.

No way! I'm not going to let them do all the fighting! What if they get hurt?- It will be all my fault! I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

I feel a sharp pain in my side, with cupid gone I can finally sure my injury. I lift up my chiton and look as far back as I can see. I see a rainbow of blue, purple and black- I've got a huge bruise. Now is not the time to think of it!

I turn my attention towards the fight.

Pit and Dark Pit seem to be handling it pretty well. Every time the Chimaera got distracted by one of them, the other struck a blow.

The chimaera roared in fury as Pit slashed at its flank and turned on him. But this time the Chimaera had a new game up its sleeve.

And that game was,

Fire.

The Chimaera opened its jaws and you could see a spark forming in it.

Thankfully Pit was feeling smart today and jumped out of the way! The fiery flare only singed his scarf but that was enough to set me on edge. I could feel my heart beating faster- please don't let him get hurt!

The Chimaera kept it's flare of fire going and surrounded the two angels in a ring of fire.

"Pittoo! You can fly!" Pit urged Dark Pit with desperation and panic clear in his voice. "I'm not leaving you!" Dark Pit growled.

Pit just nodded and the two of them went in a stance.

They have limited space! They are trapped in a circle of fire with a freaking Chimaera! I'm not not going to do anything!

I look at the circle- there's an opening behind the Chimaera... I can hit it from the back... but with what?! I look around, scanning the area for a large stick like thing, but the it hits me. MY OAR!

I see it laying on the ground close to my tree. This is gonna hurt...

I go in a crouching position and prepare to jump. I'm not gonna make it am I? I count to three in my head...1...2...3!

I jump and my heart lurches. I land with a loud thud- and on my back! I groan, how much more until I break my back?! I try to stand up- but it's no use, I use the trunk of the tree as support but I fall back down.

Biting back a string of curses I crawl towards my oar and grab it. I quickly look towards the battle. No one has noticed me yet- but Pit is really struggling! He dodges as much as he can but the fire is spreading closer and closer to him. Dark Pit tries to help from the air but there's only so much you can do with arrows.

I crawl as quietly as I can around the circle, trying to get behind the Chimaera. My back was really hurting and I gritted my teeth to stop the swear words that wanted to get out.

My eyes started stinging and I had to hold back my coughs when I got close to the fire. I could hear the roars and growls of the Chimaera and Pit's yelps- I was almost there!

I came across the gap where the Chimaera's back was facing me. It was slowly cornering Pit who refused to give it any space, it's now or never Y/N.

I reared up on my knees and held the oar above my head. I had to knock it out or at least stun it! I can't believe I'm doing this...

I close my eyes and get ready to hit.

Please, Ares, God of war- Give me strength! Artemis give me skill- even though I've got none whatsoever! PLEASE!

After being a coward I bring my arms down as hard as I can. I hear a cracking noise and my arms throb in pain at the force of the contact. I open my eyes and see the Chimaera laying down in front of me, unconscious with a big bump on its head.

Pit runs towards me and tries to help me up "Come on, Y/N! We have to go!" I try but it's no use "I can't." Pit looks at me in question "I fell out of the tree." I explain grimly. Pit sighs in exasperation, that's new, and puts his shoulder under my arm to support me.

"You're gonna have to try!" I nod and take a few steps, they still hurt but with Pit helping at least I can stand. Dark Pit lands in front of us and before looking at any of us he gives me my oar and takes a nearby stick.

He sets the stick on fire and drops it in front of the Chimaera so its trapped in a fiery ring. Now I understand why he's the brains of the operation.

Pittoo raises an eyebrow at me "She fell out of a tree." Pit explains. "Of course she did!" Pittoo snaps and supports me on my other side.

We left the scene quickly and tried to get as far away from the Chimaera as we could.

"I was the one who saved you!" I protested. I didn't like receiving help...

"After I told you not to!" Pit glares at me.

I shut up after that- that's REALLY new... Pit- glaring...

Never thought I'd see the day!
