Percy stared at Luke in absolute terror. The son of Poseidon still remembered the look in Luke's eyes when he was possessed by Kronos all those years ago. The look in his eyes now seemed to penetrate his soul and unlock every fearful expression he felt.

"Neeks," Percy said. "Tell me you have a plan since you're obviously not quaking in your shoes right now."

"Yeah I do," Nico replied. "And it involves you being the distraction."

Percy shrugged. "Do I have to get up close and personal?"

"A little, and did Tyson give you a flashlight?"

"Yeah?"

"You might wanna replace Riptide with it," Nico said as he threw his stygian iron sword aside and pulled out a small flashlight out of his coat. "These things will work better."

Nico clicked the flashlight's button and it turned into a two and a half foot sword that looked like it was made of chandelier-like glass.

"What is that?" Percy asked in awe of the sword.

"Sacred crystal," Nico replied. "The only thing can hurt Night Terrors."

Percy capped Riptide and put it back in his pocket; he pulled out his flashlight and clicked the button, the flashlight turned into a two and a half foot sword made of sacred crystal.

"Wow," Percy marveled at the sword. "Tyson made this?"

"Yeah, you're gonna wanna thank him later," Nico said. "But for now, you might wanna focus on Luke."

"Annie," Nico said as he tossed her a small flashlight similar to his. "Go get the others and make a run for it, just get as far away from this place as possible, with Luke in this state, none of you are safe."

Annabeth only nodded her head; she pocketed the flashlight and ran over to the stands where the others were being held by Pitch's black sand.

"Annabeth," Grover asked. "You okay?"

Annabeth nodded her head. "I'm fine," She said as looked down at the restraints. "How do I get you loose?"

"The flashlight," Henry said. "Only Sacred Crystal can work against Nightmare Sand."

Annabeth took the item out of her pocket and clicked the button.

Soon enough Grover, Sophie, Henry, Merida and Rapunzel were freed from their bindings.

"What now?" Sophie asked.

WWWRRROOAA!

Everyone turned their heads and saw Luke jump into the air and lunge at Percy who jumped aside just as Luke came crashing down.

"We need to get out of here." Annabeth said.

"We can fight." Merida said.

"No," Henry said. "Annabeth's right, with Luke like this, even with our Sacred Crystal weapons we aren't safe. Besides, our main priority is finding and stopping Pitch."

Annabeth nodded her head. "Percy and Nico can handle Luke, we also have to find Thalia."

Henry reached into his utility belt and pulled out a snow globe.

"Let's go."

"Don' we have any other way of getting' outta here?" Merida complained.

(Line Break Quote: "You…you're supposed to dead.")

"Don't interfere with me huntress," Khione yelled. "I will have my revenge!"

"Come on Thalia," Z said. "Snap out of it, we have to try and outrun her."

Thalia shook her head and stood up.

"Come on." Z said as she ran off.

Thalia ran alongside Z and gripped her bow tighter.

'I can't have Khione playing with my head, after this I'll need to ask Jack for myself. But for now.'

Thalia stopped in her tracks and turned to face Khione. "Eat this, Snow Queen!" Thalia pulled back the bowstring, an arrow started to materialize in between the string, Thalia took aim and loosed the arrow.

The Crystal arrow flew, Khione moved to the side and tried to dodge the arrow but it managed to hit the snow goddess in the shoulder.

Khione screamed in pain.

Thalia pulled back the bowstring and loose a few more arrows, all of which missed as Khione raised a wall made of black sand.

Thalia muttered a few curses in Greek then continued to run away from Khione.

"How do get out of here?" Thalia asked.

"We have to find Jack first," Z replied. "He's the only one who can get us out of here."

(Line Break Quote: "Annoying her is a plus.")

"Come on Pitch," Jack said tauntingly. "You can do better than that."

"At least he's having fun." Percy said as he jumped to the left, narrowly missing Luke's clawed hand.

"NGRAAAHHH!" Luke roared in a gruff animal-like voice. "Stay still!"

"Uh, no thanks, I like staying in one piece." Percy said.

"Hey Perce?" Nico asked.

"Yeah?"

"Remind me to watch that anime when we're done here." Nico said dodging Luke's clawed swipe.

"What anime?"

"One Piece," Nico replied. "The thought of a pirate who can't swim really piques my interest."

"Y…yeah sure," Percy said. "I'll do that." 'How can this guy be thinking of an anime while doing this?'

"AARRGGHH!" Luke growled. "ENOUGH!"

Luke then clenched his hands and hammered down on the ground which sent a powerful shockwave towards the two demigods.

"Whoa!" Percy said as he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Urngh!" Nico grunted as he fell forward.

Luke lunged toward Percy with both his clawed hands poised to strike down on the son of Poseidon.

"Percy!" Nico yelled.

The son of Hades used Luke's shadow as a portal causing Percy to shadow travel over to his side.

Luke came crashing down onto the ground, as he crashed his momentum caused a crater at least three feet deep to form in the arena's floor.

"You alright?" Nico asked Percy.

The son of Poseidon shook his head. "I still can't get used to shadow travel man."

The two demigods got to their feet just as Luke jumped out of the crater.

"I'm gonna kill you two yet!" Luke growled.

(Line Break Quote: "Some deaths cannot be prevented.")

Sophie took one last look at Nico and Percy as they continued to fend off Luke in his Night terror form.

Henry then threw the snow globe on the ground and a portal opened up.

"Let's go." Henry said as he jumped in.

As the gang jumped out of the portal, they found themselves in an area that had bore the evidence covered in blank sand and snow.

Henry knelt down scooped up some of the snow in his hand. "Khione was definitely here."

"Thalia as well," Rapunzel said pointing to several spots on the ground where evidence of ice arrows had struck. "It's obvious Z is with her."

Merida noticed two sets of footprints running away from the snow goddess's general direction. "It looks like they ran off tha' way."

"Let's go," Annabeth said. "Thalia might need our help."

The gang then followed the tracks leading to wherever Thalia and Z had run off to.

(Line Break Quote: "Sorry, I don't read elf hands.")

Mr. D was staring into a rainbow back at the camp; he was speaking via Iris Message with an old friend.

The man in the rainbow was a fairly handsome who looked eerily like Chris Hemsworth.

"So," Mr. D said. "Jack's requested for your son to join up with his quest."

The man nodded his head. "Yes, I've already informed Magnus about everything. At first he was hesitant, but when I told him about Jack's true self, he immediately said yes."

Mr. D sighed. "I just hope that this can blow over soon, this whole thing with Jack and Pitch is beginning to grate on my nerves."

Frey put his hand to his chin in thought. "I still don't understand Pitch's story though."

Mr. D raised an eyebrow. "Well, the thing is. Pitch was born during the golden age, the time after the Olympians overthrew the Titans."

"He's that old?" Frey asked.

Mr. D nodded his head. "Yup, he's one Nyx's children; a protogenos."

"That explains his powers over darkness." Frey speculated.

Mr. D shook his head. "No, Pitch Black; his original name was Kozmotis Pitchiner, he was born after Hemera(Nyx's daughter, goddess on day)."

"Then that would mean…" Frey said.

"Yes," Mr. D said darkly. "He's a child of Hades."

AN#2: Really late update. Mostly because I've been re-reading Magnus Chase: The Sword of Summer for references when it comes time for Magnus to make his appearance in this story.

AN#3: Okay so, both Dionysus and Frey are gods of fertility in their respective realms. At first I wanted them to be rivals like Thoth and Hermes, but then I thought, 'do all the gods of one realm hate the gods of the other? Couldn't at least one or two on them be friends in a way, or friendly rivals at least?'

And sorry this chapter was so short. I promise that the next chapter will be at least 2,000+ words.

Magnus: When will I make my appearance?

Me: Chapter 16 maybe.

Magnus: Don't tell me, you're just gonna put a small cameo of me at the end of the chapter just to get the readers excited aren't you?

Me: That's really cliché, maybe a few small mentions by the characters here and there.

Magnus: Alright, but one question though.

Me: Shoot.

Magnus: Why are you shipping me with Rachel?

Me: . . . . . .

Magnus: Well?

Me: . . . . . .

Magnus: That silence is never a good thing.
