I woke up with a jolt, my head smacking the seat in front of me. We had been driving for ages and I had fallen asleep as Annabeth and Percy bickered like an old married couple. The scenery hadn't changed much from when I fell asleep.
"Great gods of Olympus!" I shook my head, trying to clear it and figure out what was going on. I looked out the window and saw wolf-like creatures following us. They ran to keep up with the car but they didn't seem to tire. I remembered seeing them somewhere before but I couldn't quite remember where.
"We're being chased by Fterotos Lykos." I looked at Annabeth who had turned around in her seat to face me.
"Fterotos Lykos?"
"It roughly means winged wolf. They aren't Greek creatures so we have no idea how to defeat them. They only started appearing around a year ago. No one knows where they came from either. Percy and I have never needed to face them before so we've been lucky. According to the others who've had to face them, they defeat their prey and then let the body rot and then eat it after it's rotted." Annabeth shuddered. I looked back at the creatures. One half of their body was black while the other was white, the split clean in the middle. Even the wings were either black or white. They looked fierce and I knew then and then it clicked. I remembered what they were.
"Nyxnoxae. They're called Nyxnoxae." Annabeth nodded but didn't say anything. Percy swerved off the road and onto a field. On the far side there was a thicket of trees and bushes.
"Okay, I'm gonna park the car in that thicket. We're never gonna get to the boarder of CHB without fighting them so it now or never. When I say so, I want you to get out of the car and fight." Percy fired the ignition and made for the trees. I made sure all my items were in my pockets. Once I was sure I was ready, I unbuckled my seatbelt. I didn't summon Dyovnoxae just yet for fear of the car stopping abruptly and me hitting someone with it.
Annabeth jumped out of the car even while it was still moving, her dagger in front of her. I jumped out the other side, summoning Dyovnoxae. The inky blackness in the sword swirled faster and with more anger. I stopped looking at Dyovnoxae and focused on the Nyxnoxae. They had gained on us but were now slowing down as they neared us. The biggest one, in the lead, I guessed was the leader. Percy was on my right while Annabeth stood to my left, the three of us standing our ground. The leading Nyxnoxae growled, baring his teeth. I stepped forward with Annabeth and Percy behind me. The leader raised his wings and let out a howl.
He started to run at me, teeth bared. The other Nyxnoxae held back surprising me. I glanced at Annabeth and Percy, all of us thinking the same thing. We charged in unison, all of us with our weapons raised.
Just as we were about to collide with the Nyxnoxae, I stabbed my sword into the ground, letting out a powerful yell. Six zombies started to climb out of the ground surrounding my sword. They were all bone, with sharper bones as weapons. Percy and Annabeth stared not being able to keep their surprise off their faces, pulled up short for a second. I pulled my sword out of the ground and pointed it to the remaining Nyxnoxae. The zombies started forward with me close behind. They were fast. Percy and Annabeth had shrunk back and I could see them out of the corner of my eye, fighting to get two of the zombies off of them. I ignored them and continued my charge. While I had been summoning the zombies, the leader Nyxnoxae had returned to be with his pack. Now, they ran in unison towards us. I banished Dyovnoxae and jumped forward so I was running like the Nyxnoxae. I hadn't even noticed my body changing as I jumped. But I had noticed some tingling behind my eyes and in my brain.
I leapt onto the back of one of the Nyxnoxae, sinking my new teeth into its fur. I could taste the blood in my mouth as the Nyxnoxae threw me off, pinning me onto my back. For some reason, I could tell this Nyxnoxae was a girl. I pushed her off me roughly and she limped back, whining. I didn't attack her again, instead, leaping into the battle and attacking the leader. He was already being beaten mercilessly by one of my zombies so when I attacked him, it surprised him. He whined, and the other Nyxnoxae retreated a bit. I turned back into a human and summoned Dyovnoxae. The Nyxnoxae all turned into their human form while Annabeth and Percy ran over to us, the zombies holding them capture retreating. The other zombies were still standing erect, waiting for their next orders.
"You can summon zombies? And shapeshift?" Percy huffed. I shrugged, not at all winded by my battle. I was a bit surprised that he couldn't shapeshift and summon zombies. I had thought everyone could.
"We bring peace. We only wanted to talk. You see, our old leader died about a year ago. He said that a girl had his blood in her and we were to talk to her." Percy and Annabeth looked at me and I looked at them, not knowing what he was talking about at all.
"Why did you attack us then?"
"You see, that girl there," he pointed at me, "She's got the smell of our leader's blood on her. We want to talk to her. Alone. Just me and her." I didn't know what made me so it, but I trusted him. Percy started to raise his sword again but I put my arm out, stopping him.
"Percy, let me talk to him. Alone as he says." Percy was about to argue but Annabeth stopped him. He still didn't look happy about it but lets me go anyway. I walk towards the Nyxnoxae leader and follow him to a lone tree standing a good distance away from them. He stopped and turned to me, his eyes glinting dangerous looking but also kind.
"So, what is so important that you need to see my alone?" I ask. I knew that what I had said didn't seem polite but I was tired of being polite. I crossed my arms and stood facing him. These people had attacked us and then wanted to talk. The leader started speaking, seeming unfazed by my rudeness.
"So, as you know, our leader died about a year ago. He trusted a secret with me and about 5 other close friends. He told us that about 38 years ago, there was a woman who had told him and most of the other leaders of each race to come and speak with her. He told us what happened and when he died, to keep a close eye on the girl whose blood is mixed with his. To make sure her mother's wish was fulfilled." He looked as if he was telling the truth so I believed him. I gave him a small smile and he smiled back. Then my brain remembered what he had said.
"Wait, you said that my mother had a wish for me. What was it?" He looked at me with surprise on his face. He quickly hid it which left me even more confused than before.
"If you don't know, then maybe your mother would like to tell you herself when the time is right. It is not my place to tell you what you." He bowed low and started to walk away, leaving me stunned and curious. I didn't let my brain ponder on the topic too much though for I knew I would be told when the time was right, like the Nyxnoxae told me. Instead, I jogged back to where the others were waiting.
