Strength
Jason had been sure that Nico was the strongest demigod he had ever seen. The teen hung in the background, flitting in and out of the shadows and appearing suddenly, scaring the wits out of anyone around. Seeing him and Percy in a real duel was something he wasn't prepared for. After that, he was sure that Percy was the strongest demigod in existence. The older boy took lead and fought like a whirlwind. Then came the girl. The pale, dark haired girl was too much like Nico. She appeared at camp, and Percy and Annabeth visibly paled when she announced herself as Ebony, daughter of Nyx. Even the lighthearted and friendly son of Poseidon skirted around her dark energy that sucked the happiness out of the world. She joined the seven but stayed in the shadows much like Nico. She was aware that she wasn't welcomed and remained in her bunker, avoiding the light like the plague. When she did face the day, she hung just below deck. The sevens' bones went cold when she was around. She would suck the light out of the day, calling upon the night to give her strength. She became alive in the dark. Jason could feel the black energy radiating off her. Monsters, giants, and titans alike fell back in fear. She radiated pure evil as she swept through the enemy's ranks, black hair flying, and black eyes bright. When an enemy went to strike she would melt into the shadows, literally becoming fear itself. She left them after that. The others, including himself, feared her. She had looked to them, smiled briefly, and simply melted into the night. No one compared to her. She was indeed the strongest.
