Hey guys, I've decided on a schedule for The Fallen Angel and The Cursed Mummy. I am going to post every two days, a different story each time. For example, I would post a chapter of The Fallen Angel, then two days later, post a chapter of The Cursed Mummy. But I will post the finales at the same time. Oh well. Enjoy.

Hazel's POV
After we finished our lunch, we climbed back on Festus and flew away.
"How much longer?" I asked, slightly impatient.
"Maybe a half hour if we're lucky," Thalia said.
My mood wasn't the best, but Nico is the only family I have left. My mother is dead, I have no other siblings, and Hades doesn't exactly win any Father of the Year awards.
I was jolted out of my thoughts when Percy yelled.
"Incoming!" He yelled.
I looked up and saw white dragon flying toward us.
Festus did a barrel roll to avoid it, where we had to hold on to avoid flying off.
After Festus came out of the barrel roll, I got a good look at the dragon.
It wasn't just a white dragon, the dragon was made of bones.
It was a skeleton.
Nico has to be involved.
"Festus can't fight it without throwing us off," Percy said. "We have to fight it."
"I have an idea," I said.
Then I told them the plan.
Percy's POV
"Ready to play cat and mouse, Festus," I asked.
Festus let out a rumbling noise, which probably meant yes.
He flew at a high speed and the skeletal dragon followed.
Thalia has her eyes shut in concentration, forming storm clouds in the sky.
Then Thalia opened her eyes.
"Ready," She said.
"Festus, stop," Hazel said.
Festus stopped flying forward and we saw the bone dragon flying toward us.
Hazel thrust her hands out, causing the skeletal dragon to stop in it's path.
Hazel had told us earlier about how she had the ability to manipulate bones, but I didn't think that she had the power to stop a skeletal dragon in it's path.
"Thalia, now!" Hazel yelled.
Waiting on the signal, Thalia caused a massive bolt of lighting to shoot down from the storm cloud and hit the skeletal dragon.
The skeletal dragon shattered and his crushed bones fell toward the city below.
Someone else's problem now.
"What the heck was that?" I asked.
"This must have been Nico's doing," Hazel said. "If he would do something like this to us, then the strange source of power must have a large hold on him."
"I don't remember Nico being able to do this," I said.
"Well, he can use his necromancy powers to summon undead human skeletons to fight for him," I told him. "He must be way stronger now, since he can summon an undead dragon."
Thalia looked down.
"This was worse than I thought," Thalia said.
"All the more reason to find Nico," Hazel told her.
We sat in silence for about twenty minutes.
I finally looked at the GPS on my phone.
"Here we are," I said, winning the girls' attention. "California."
I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry if this was a little short. Thank you for reading. Peace.
