Hey guys. I decided to have a new schedule, on chapter every six days. The way I am doing this is that I will post a chapter of The Fallen Angel after three days, then a chapter of The Cursed Mummy after another three, then rinse and repeat. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Enjoy.

Hazel's POV

After we were done talking, we walked out of my room and saw a legion of armored skeletons, accompanied by a few skeleton dogs, in the hallway

Percy reached for his trident capsule and Thalia reached for her spear capsule.

I held my hand out.

"No," I told them. "These are the reinforcements that Hades has given us."

Percy and Thalia lowered their guard.

"Let's hope these puppies can do something or I'm on a one-way trip to Tartarus," Percy said to us.

Then Percy turned toward me.

"What's the plan?" He asked me.

I looked at him.

"Why me?" I asked.

"Because we are in, basically, Hell, and your dad is, basically, Satan, so I would think you would know why I'm letting you lead," Percy told me.

I looked down and sighed. Then I looked toward the two.

"We should be near some sort of river," I told him. "As you know, all of the rivers in the Underworld have some kind of negative effect, and you can control it."

Thalia nudged Percy.

"Yeah," Thalia said to him. "Remember Bob?"

"Who?" I asked.

"Nevermind," Thalia told me.

I sighed.

"Anyways," I said to them. "Necros is in Elysium, which means that the River next to it is the River Acheron, the river of pain. So, if you have to, use it to incapacitate him."

Percy looked concerned.

"What about Nico?" He asked. "Won't he feal it too?"

Oh yeah.

"We don't know that," I told them. "Maybe we can use it as an interrogation method so he can tell us how to get Nico back."

The two looked at each other and shrugged.

"Lead the way, team captain," Thalia said to me.

I nodded.

"First, let's train a bit."


Percy's POV

We used the outside of Hades' palace as training grounds. I thought about what to do.

I decided to spar with Thalia.

I didn't have any water to us, so Thalia agreed not to electrocute me.

As my trident and her spear hit each other, making metallic noises, we talked about the plan.

"So, we're taking on a demonic version of Nico who creamed is last time, who has an army," Thalia asked as she jabbed at me. "And the only difference is that we have this squad of boneheads, and if we don't succeed, you will be thrown into Tartarus. Do I have that right?"

"I'm, never, going to ask you for a pep talk," I told her as I parried a spear strike and lunged back.

She smirked as she sidestepped my strike.

"I hope that Hazel's plan goes well," She told me.

We both looked toward Hazel who was instructing the legion of skeletons on the plan like a general. Even though they looked as numb as rocks, they somehow seemed to be listening.

Using the distraction, Thalia lunged at me with the spear.

I saw this coming and grabbed the spear, then flung it from her grasp.

She tried to kick me, but I grabbed her foot and flipped her onto the floor, then I held my trident over her throat.

"I win," I told her.

Suddenly, she grabbed the trident shaft and released electricity into it and I suddenly felt like I'd been tased.

They say that being tased is five seconds of the worst pain in your life. I wouldn't say it was the worst, since I held up the sky and jumped in the River Styx, but it is definitely up there.

I collapsed to the ground and Thalia looked down at me smugly.

"I win," she said as she reached down to help me up.

When I took her hand, I felt the same taser fealing again and collapsed toward the ground.

I looked at Thalia, trying her hardest not to laugh.

"Your horrible Thalia," I told her.

Thalia held out her hand to help me up again.

"I'll do it myself," I told her.

Once I got to my feet, Hazel came over to us.

"You guys ready?" She asked.

We both nodded.

She smiled.

"Good, so are we," She told us.


Alright guys, that's the chapter. I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading. Peace.
