AN: OC's have asterisks beside them. Sorry if Thalia is a bit OOC. I may have spelled Lacy wrong. Sam is OOC too. Characters belong to Rick Riordan"Lacy! Drew! Hurry!"
"Holly? Laurel?"
"Julia! Alice! Over here!"
Julia ran through the fray, dragging Alice with her.
"Right here! Come on, girls!"
Lacy grabbed Holly and Laurel and pulled them towards Liutenant Thalia.
"Drew? Drew!"
Nico pushed the daughter of Aphrodite towards a nearby hunter. "Chloe*! Get her to the van!" The hunter nodded and pulled the charmspeaker towards Thalia.
"Nico!"
Line-Break-Muwah-Hah-Hah-My-Friend-Is-Angry-I'm-Ignoring-HimThey weren't sure exactly how it happened. Nico had taken the daughters of Nike and Hermes to find Aphrodite's daughters, whom he believed to be in danger. They had found Lacy and Drew with a group of hunters, cornered in an alley by Triumvirate soldiers.
One minute he was hurrying the girls toward Thalia's van, the next he was on the ground.
He knew he was dead, but he also wasn't dead. A girl stood over him. She didn't wear the colors of the campers, or the Legion, or the Hunters, or the Amazons. She appeared to be around sixteen, so she wasn't unclaimed. But something about her stank of death. She wasn't a mortal.
"How are you not dead?" she demanded. The soldiers were all staring. "I was sent to collect your soul for Valhalla, and you're not dead! How is that possible?"
One of the soldiers began to speak. "W. . . w - w - wings."
Nico reached over his shoulder. His fingers brushed up against . . . feathers. sSharp feathers.
And then he looked at his hands. He had claws. Silver claws. What was happening?
"I'd better take you to Valhalla," the girl said, sounding concerned. He just grunted.
Hah-Hah-Line-Break-FunSam slid into her seat between Magnus and Alex. "Something weird happened. The guy I was supposed to get? He didn't die. He got wings and claws and his eyes changed color."
"Maybe our long-lost brother?" Alex suggested.
"That doesn't explain why he didn't die."
"Maybe Odin will know, he's here today," TJ said, sliding into his seat on the other side of Magnus.
"Sh. He's standing up," Mallory hushed from her spot beside Alex.
The patron god of Valhalla strode over to their table. He stopped next to Sam. "Samhira, why were you in Manhattan?" His voice was stern.
"I was notified, Lord Odin." She tried to hide her nervousness.
"For Manhattan?! We avoid association with them! Only a few Valkyries have ever been given permission to work there!"
"Avoid who?" Mallory asked.
Odin hesitated, before saying "those Greeks."
"You mean like Annabeth and Percy?" Alex asked. "Cuz I'm pretty sure they're Greek."
"Who?" Odin looked worried.
"My cousin and her boyfriend," Magnus said quickly.
"What!" Odin exclaimed angrily.
Magnus was saved from a reply by a frantic Valkyrie bursting through the doors. "Who let a son of Hades in here? Especially one blessed by Thanatos!"
AN: Hope you like it. The other version is "Blessed: Victory of the People", so basically the same name. Please, no flames.
