Long time, no see, folks. My computer is having issues with my Wi-Fi, so I am typing this secretly on my mom's laptop. I am editing out all the dates next to the POVs, because I feel that I may not be able to catch up with everything. I am really sorry about the waiting time. Let's just get on with the chapter.
Camp Half-Blood, Raven's POV.
I was always the last one to get up, wasn't I? I hopped off my bed, remembering that prophecy from yesterday. I walked up to the mirror, hoping to see that my hair wasn't crazy, but what I saw in the mirror made me leap back in shock. My once gray eyes were turning black as pitch, and what was worse, was the fact that I saw the face of Anubis reflected in them. This wasn't the cool Anubis from the Kane Chronicles, this was the jackal headed one. I heard a voice inside my head whisper, "You must follow the path of the gods. Learn the ways of death magic, for it may be your only hope." I almost yelled, because the Anubis reflection was starting to creep me out. All that came out was a whimper, and a heard a crash behind me. I heard somebody yell a string of Spanish cuss words, and I turned around to see Leo being chased by a mechanical snake. I yelled, "Douglas! Quit chasing Leo!" and the mechanical snake quit chasing him. I immediately thought, I wonder why death magic is my only hope? And the voice responded, "You are descended from the line of Tutankhamen. Although you are not cursed to die like Walt Stone, you have a great risk of dying if you do not learn death magic. The magic will keep you alive, while not practicing it can kill you." By this time, Leo had noticed the reflection of Anubis, and said, "Oh, give me a break! More gods to deal with?" Then, from the tips of my fingers came a dark, dark mist, and as it curled around the room, it killed a few insignificant things. A small plant that was sitting in the corner withered up and died, while a couple of unfortunate flies dropped dead. Then, surrounding me was the silhouette of Anubis, made out of the same dark mist. The voice wasn't just inside my head anymore, now it was echoing around the room, saying, "Learn to control this power, and follow the path of Anubis." And just like that, the mist disappeared. The plant regrew itself, and the flies flew back up again. I fell to my knees, weak and exhausted. Leo rushed to my side, and said, "You okay, half-sis? I'll get you to the infirmary." I stood up, saying, "No. I'm just fine. But, first of all, we need to contact the Brooklyn House. Specifically, one of my relatives, Walt Stone, aka Anubis."
Brooklyn House, Markus's POV.
I was just minding my own business, hanging out around the fireplace. Unfortunately, Felix had summoned some more ice and penguins in it, causing the living room to become a penguin playground. I sighed, and buried my head back into my book, me just being the follower of Thoth that I am. Shelby and the rest of the ankle-biters were sliding down ice slides, them and the penguins squawking happily, when I got the phone call. It was on the landline beside me on the wall, so I picked it up, and it had a blocked number. I shrugged, and said into, "Hey, this is Markus Davidson at the Brooklyn House. What are you guys looking for?"
"Somebody named Walt Stone." Came the hurried reply.
"He'll be right with you. Just hold on for a moment." I then raced down to the training hall, where Carter usually taught battle magic. I knew that Walt was teaching some of the newer magicians the art of amulet crafting, and that he wouldn't care if I interrupted with important news.
I burst through the doors to the training hall, just as Walt threw an amulet up into the air and it transformed into a camel. I recognized it as Hindenburg, the farty camel that Sadie would talk about sometimes. Walt turned around, and said, "Markus, what's the problem?" I handed him the phone, and said, "Someone called the Brooklyn House asking for you. It sounds a bit urgent," I added, watching as he took the phone and said, "Walt Stone here. What's wrong?" I heard some frantic yelling on the other side, and Walt responded, "Demigods? Well, looks like Carter was right. He really did see that black pegasus." I heard some more yelling, and Walt said, "A demigod and a blood of the pharaohs? A descendant of Tutankhamen? Those are just more disasters waiting to happen. Wait, hold up, did you just say a follower of Apophis? Okay, I'll be right on my way." He hung up the phone, and looked at me, worry written all over his face. And then, in that really annoying two voice thing he does because of Anubis, he said, "Markus, go get Carter, Sadie, and Jaz. All five of us are going to a Greek summer camp."
