I'm back guys and girls! Now I know some of you have been waiting for this, so here it is... Sword on Claw Chapter 2!
Carter woke up to a whisper in his head- "Carter" a familiar voice said, clear and calm.
It was his one time teammate Percy Jackson, who had only needed to say his name to call him. Carter wondered what was so important that he needed him in the middle of the night. He drew the Eye of Horus in the air with his wand and his name, and they disappeared along with the tingling sensation in his mind. Percy should now be able to know Carter was on his way... But where was he supposed to go? As if on queue, the air shimmered and a misty image of Percy Jackson appeared, beside him stood, who he guessed was Annabeth Chase, whom his sister Sadie had once allied to defeat the god Serapis, another kid stood directly behind them, he seemed to have the kegs of a goat, but Carter waved that off as a trick of the eye.
"Percy? What are you calling me in the middle of the night for? And what is this... Image thing?" Carter asked half angry, half confused.
"It's an Iris Message" He answered in a rushed tone.
"An Isis Message?" He never heard of that before.
"IRIS Message, and we need your help." Annabeth said irritated.
"What is it? Gods? Ghosts? End of the world?" He prepared for the worst.
"No, shape shifters" Percy said.
"Shape shifters?"
"Yeah , they turn into large timber wolves. Their dangerous cursed souls" Annabeth said.
Carter was now confused. In Ancient Egypt, shape shifters, especially wolves, were praised like gods, and were just as mortal as anyone. Why would Percy think that they're dangerous?
"No. I am not helping you kill them. I don't know what you're thinking, but wolf shifters are among the most praised creatures in Egypt!"

Maddy collapsed on the forest floor exaughsted, Rhydian followed suit. She rested her head on his chest and looked up to the canopy of leaves. After leaving Stoney Bridge, they stowed away on a cruise ship to New York. They were hiding from police and anyone who had their phones accessible at the time. Especially with the change in moonlight at night, they were becoming more feral, their eyes were constantly gold now, and even slight scares make their veins go dark.
"Rhydian? Will we be safe here?" She asked quietly.
"I hope so Madds" He answered rubbing her arm.
She was about to say something else, but was cut off by a large noise in the trees above. Suddenly two boys dropped from the sky, one holding a glowing sword with wave designs etched in it, the other held a curved sword with hieroglyphs in it. Both boys fought ferociously, sparks flying, the kid with a curved sword said some weird word and the other boy flew backwards.
"Come on you two, I'll help you escape!" A girl ran up behind them, waving for them to follow. Maddy was pulled to her feet by Rhydian, together they ran with the girl deeper into the woods. Entering a clearing they came to a boat strapped to a... Lion? No, Eagle? A mix of the two. The girl got into the back and the two wolfbloods climbed in after. The creature flew off into the night, pulling them and the boat with.
"What's going on?!" Rhydian yelled over the roar of wind and beating wings
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Sadie-" she was cut off by the boy from before fazing into existence on the boat, with cuts and bruises all along his body.
"Kane. And this is my brother Carter. We're taking you to our mansion in Brooklyn."
"But, why? Why were those two fighting, why are we in a flying boat? And why do you have swords?!"
"Well brace yourself my friend" Carter said and paused for effect "You two are now Greece's most wanted shape shifters. And those demigods are the gods FBI"
