A/N: I totally almost forgot, I don't own any of the Clash/Wrath characters or plot. Lulu and her family are all mine.
Chapter One - Descendant of Poseidon and Meeting Demigods
The couple went on with the instructions to California, to find Jacobi Dawson the descendant of Poseidon. Lucinda woke on the veranda of their safe house standing with a cup of coffee and basking in the sunlight and the beautiful scenery. This house was right on the water, with its own private beach.
She decided to walk on the dock where the ships gathered, leaving a note for Raven she slipped on her shoes and an MP3 player. She waved at several of the fisherman who spotted her stopping as she nearly ran into a dock worker. "My apologies, I really should be more careful." She smiled.
"Not a problem, miss" the man had to be at least six years her elder long dread locks and eyes like the sea.
"It's Lulu, and you are?" she introduced herself.
"Ajinor" he kissed her hand.
"Well met," she bit her lip, "do you live around here? I'm kind of new and am trying to find someone. I was hoping someone here may know him."
"Ajinor's just come to port after a long stint miss, he wouldn't know his own mother." Another man laughed, "My name's Perseus."
"Like the Greek Hero?"
"My parents were strange."
"Lucinda, Lulu for short, I have the same problem except it was just me and my mom. I'm looking for a Jacobi Dawson. I have a picture here. I was told he hangs around the docks a lot."
"I'm Jacobi Dawson," the boy from the picture stepped up, "how can I help you?"
"I was told to invite you to lunch at our place. Do you know a Melody Sapphire?"
"She is my cousin" he looked spooked.
"Her father is a benefactor of our little organization, he told me you would be the best man for this little job of ours."
"Sure, you got an address?" he asked.
"Actually I'm staying in that cute little villa there. So I'll see you there."
"Who would ignore an invitation from a beauty like you especially when my Uncle has sent you my way?" Jacobi nodded.
"Great, then today's my lucky day, thanks so much for your help." She waved and left.
Lucinda returned to the house to find Raven was up and having breakfast. She kissed his cheek and sat beside him. He finished the bit in his mouth before speaking. "What has you so excited my love?"
"I found Jacobi, and I think I found a couple of demigods. Perseus and Ajinor. The stories say that Hades gave them immortality because they were all he had left of his brothers."
"We'll have to tread lightly if this port is Ajinor's territory."
"It's a good thing Triton's been watching over Jacobi, he knows already what we're up to. I threw Melody's name out there and he perked up quick."
"That's a small bonus."
"I think he's been flying under their radar and they were both at that port today."
"We don't want to expose him if he doesn't want them to know."
"I don't" Jacobi came from the deck, "sorry about the break in but that was close."
"So they are the Ajinor and Perseus?" Lucinda asked.
"Indeed they are, they found me through Helius, son of Perseus. He keeps a record of the descendants. You may have put yourself on their radar. Luckily Ajinor and Triton aren't close enough for the pirate to know his niece's nickname."
"Blessed are our ancestors then for small graces."
"Have you found the others?"
"They are collected at my family Estate, I'm Lucinda Devereaux by the way, this is Raven."
"So what is next on your little quest?" Jacobi inquired.
"We need Helius' journal."
"That won't happen, it's hidden in the Underworld."
"Then we'll have to improvise, Raven we're going clubbing tonight. Our spy guy informed us that he likes to party."
Lulu walked into the club, her long black hair cascaded over sun-kissed skin. She wore tight black leather pants and a matching leather halter with four inch spiked heels. Raven followed on her left in black jeans, a red muscle shirt and a black leather jacket. Jacobi came behind them in black skinny jeans and a blue long sleeve shirt.
"Have you ever seen him?" Raven asked Jacobi.
"Never, he'd blend in here anyway."
"Not really." Lucinda put her communicator in her ear, "watch Perseus and Ajinor. They won't take their eyes off him. When you see him let me know." Her eyes flashed black for a second.
"We'll have to blend in, if they spot us…"
"We won't take him, my shadow will." She caressed her choker.
They split up, blending in with the crowd while covertly watching Perseus and Ajinor at the bar for clues. Raven caught him when he waved to Ajinor before going over to get a drink. "Babe, I found him, he's at the bar now." He spoke.
"What's he wearing?"
"Black blazer, gold eagle tattooed on his neck, this dude really knows how to respect heritage."
"I got him once he goes back into the throng." She activated the magic in her gem on her choker.
"We need to get out of here before we're spotted. I don't want to come up anymore on their radar." Jacobi spoke up.
"We leave separately; if we go together people will notice. It'll be hard enough to conceal someone disappearing through the floor even with my level of magic."
"Jacobi go now, Lulu will make for the door and exit once it's done. While their trying to figure out what happened I'll slip the phone in Ajinor's jacket." Raven elaborated.
Jacobi made his way to the bar took a couple shots and paid his tab. "Headin' out already?" the bartender asked.
"Yeah, got a plane to catch tomorrow, don't want to miss it."
"What about your friends?"
"She pleaded with him for a couple more songs. They ain't plannin' on sleepin' till the plane ride so it's all good."
"Where are you heading?" Perseus asked.
"Europe, my uncle's called me home for a tad; he and my father never got to make it right so he tries to do right by me. He invited me to stay for a few months."
"So when'll we be seeing you around the docks again, friend?" Ajinor asked.
"I'll be back, not sure when. I have a feeling I'll be going where ever the wind may take me. I never stay anywhere too long." Jacobi shrugged.
"Good luck and safe travels then to you."
"Thanks, see you around." Jacobi waved and left before talking on his communicator, "By the gods that was awkward."
"You did good Jack." Raven complimented.
Lucinda moved toward the door without raising suspicion after tucking a burn phone in Ajinor's jacket. Once the trio was safely out of the club, Helius vanished through the floor before his father and Ajinor could get to him. Lucinda snuck up tucking a burn phone into Ajinor's jacket before the trio vanished through a shadow portal.
Ajinor followed Perseus out, trying to keep him under control. Then he felt something vibrate in his pocket. He took the phone out and flipped it open. There was a text that read:
'The Book for Helius, no negotiating. No harm will come to him.
-La Petit Morte'
"Perseus look at this." the Sea demigod showed him the text.
"We don't know where it is."
"Hades would. "
"I think we need to see uncle."
The two went back to the house using the massive mirror in the hall to contact Hades. The God of the Underworld sat upon his throne, "It has been some time Perseus, Ajinor."
"Fifty years in a flash, you should see Helius." Ajinor chuckled.
"We need the book, we know Helius has you hide it."
"Why?"
"Someone's kidnapped him, right out from under us literally." Ajinor explained.
"It is aboard Charon's vessel…"Hades vanished, reappearing beside them in a cloud of smoke, the book in hand, "Where are you to meet?"
"I asked" Ajinor held up the burn phone, "someone slipped this in my pocket. I'm still waiting on an answer." it began to vibrate.
" 'Come to the cemetery, bring Lord Hades if you so desire. We know you went to him. As we promised no harm will come to Helius.' " Ajinor read.
"How'd they…" Perseus looked puzzled.
"Helius must have told them."
**POV change**
"All you had to do was ask." Helius sat locked in a study.
"This was more fun."
"You are disturbed."
"That's the fun."
"So Renee's letter was finally released."
"You knew?"
**POV change**
"I don't like not knowing anything about them. " Perseus said.
"So let's look her up." Ajinor took out his phone and started looking up the nickname online, " It says here her real name is Lucinda Devereaux, niece of CIA operative Jesse Devereaux. Her mother, Renee, died in a freak accident when Lucinda and Renee's ward Raven were only twelve." he showed a picture of her from her facebook page.
"Who are all the others?"
"Part of a government project, gifted children, if you add nine years and several inches of hair that's the girl from the docks."
"What else can you find?"
"Well this is interesting, other than her nickname La Petit Morte, Little Death, she's also been called Mistress of the Dark and puts down her favorite books include In Silent Graves and Mistress in the Art of Death. She's definitely a little off."
"That is a disturbing pattern."
"Only to you two perhaps."Hades spoke up, looking at her picture.
"You know something."
"I do, she won't harm your boy."
"How do you know?"
"What has she to gain from harming her own second cousin?"
**That night in the cemetary**
"We have the book, show yourself Lucinda."Perseus called.
"What a smart one he is." Raven appeared, holding Helius by a set of shackles.
"Let him go." Perseus growled.
"Relax cousin," Lucinda snapped her fingers and the shackles came off, "you are such a sourpuss. We were only having a little fun. Weren't we babe." she smiled as Raven wrapped his arms around her waist.
"It was pretty fun, but you know the longer we spend on this little escapade…"he flexed his hands, "Let's just say we may have to give Gabriel a call." he nipped at her neck.
"I see your mother passed on my gift." Hades cleared his throat.
"She said my dad gave it to her, that was the last time she saw him." Lucinda touched the crystal on her choker.
"I did, she came to me." Hades walked toward her, "She never told me about you."
"She's not allowed to," Lucinda shrugged, "I was twelve, if you found out who knows who else would've figured it out. She had to keep me safe," she looked at Helius, "Touched by death, saved from death. It had to be me."
"Yours is the only magic left strong enough to do it." Helius shrugged.
"Yeah, that's what she said too. Grandmother said there's no magic left among them that could do it. Mama always said I'd give 'em hell, guess she wasn't kidding."
