Percy Jackson and the Avengers

Black Magic

Hey Guys!  So, it's a school week, and as you know, it'll probably be an update a week now.  Maybe more than one if I find time.  So, I hope that's okay.

Also, sorry about all the Percy P.O.V.  It's just a lot more comfortable for me to write in his point of view.  I'll make sure to switch it up from time to time.

Note: Greek is going to be in Italics and Latin will be underlined.

Okay, so, the story?  Let's get to it!

Percy Jackson P.O.V (First Person)

The crowd parted to show where the voice came from.  Thanatos was standing behind everyone, his cold power ebbing from him.  His black, feathery wings were resting on his back.  His face had a smirk on it, and his black eyes were sad, but satisfied - how a person would look when they died at the age of 90.

He was wearing a black tunic instead of a suit like the other gods.  His black hair was almost as messy as mine, and he looked just about as pale a Nico.  He looked kind of like Eros, except just looking at him made me want to sleep forever - not like Eros, who made me want to punch him in the face for outing Nico.

He laughed again, snapping us all out of a trance that we didn't realize we were in.  His chocolatey voice rolled over us like warm waves on a sunny day.  So relaxing.  I had to make sure I stood my ground and didn't close my eyes, because if I did, I'd never be able to wake up.

He smirked again, "Names have power, you know."

Nico smiled, "Sure they do.  You just saved me a trip to Morpheus."

Le Lord of Death rolled his eyes, "What did you need me for, Monopoly Master?"

Tony, Leo, and I had to laugh at that.  Leo had tears in his eyes.  Nico pouted, making us laugh harder, "It's not that funny!"

I smiled and patted his shoulder, "Whatever you say, coz."

"Di Immortales." He mumbled.  Nico looked back to Thanatos, "I want to call in that favor you owe me."

Thanatos stopped smiling.  His eyes got darker and his power, colder.  He looked at me and and then back at Nico, "I see.  Who do you wish to bring back?"

Nico hesitated a little, as if debating whether or not bring back the dead was good idea, "Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter."

All of camp was quiet again, including Tony and Leo, who were still holding in some laughter.  My gods guys, it wasn't that funny. Why were you laughing so hard?

Anyway, Thanatos pulled out a tablet - the one that documented every soul he had to kill.  He scrolled up, going to his older kills and clicked on one name.  He showed his screen to me and Nico, "Is this him?  The boy who died to a spear in the back?"

I cringed and nodded, "That's him.  We need to bring him back for a prophecy."

"I knew I shouldn't have gambled for life.  I wanted to play Monopoly normally, but nooo, Nico wanted to play with high stakes," Thanatos mumbled to himself.  I snickered, and Nico just pulled up his hoodie.

Thanatos sighed, "He's a child of the Big Three. I need more power."  He looked at us, "You two need to help me."

Nico and I shared a look of worry, but we agreed nonetheless.  Thanatos stretched his wings -  feathery black spans of 5 feet each.  His eyes glowed black, looking like the void of Chaos itself.  He looked like a demon.

He pointed at Nico, "Summon his ghost, but with it, you must add more power.  Once his ghost is visible, search your core power and bring out his skeleton."
