The Assassins:

Code Death

Chapter 1

Grace's POV

"The Grand Canyon?" I said looking at the location Thanatos had marked on the map. Thanatos sat next to me. Usually people would exert heat from their bodies, not Thanatos. He was cold and gloomy, rather like the existing but ever so close to extinction, ice caps.

"Precisely. For thos whose don't realise. The Grand Canyon, after much deliberation, is in fact the 8th Wonder of the World. The Wonders, old and new are all keys to the Underworld. Clearly someone has messed up the key or taken it, so that spirits are either exiting or not entering the Underworld, leaving both mine and Charon's job undone" Thanatos muttered and tapped his staff off the table-top, making a holographic image of eight triangle all white except one red, the empty one.

"So we have to go there... by when exactly?" Hecter asked looking at the map again, as if new idea's formed in his head.

"Late Afternoon today you leave. Grace use the water to send a message to Hanna. When contacted, tell her the situation and tell her to message the others. Meet back here by 3:30 pm. I will send a mode of transport for you, and good luck" Thanatos finished, stood and gathered the shadows around him. The room went dark and the god vanished.

"Hecter, fetch me a bowl of water. Once you've done this, get suited up and be ready for departure. Thanatos counts on us" Grace said confidently as she took charge. Hecter got the bowl of water. Grace prayed to her father Suijin, God of Water to contact Hanna Bowshmite, the Greek Demi-goddess. Suddenly, bubble started to form of the water surface and black sunglasses and feathers appeared.

"Hanna, my old friend. How are you?" Grace said with a smile. Hanna and Grace became friends when Thanatos sent them to the Ivory Coast to collect some souls of fallen civil war rebels. It was a tough mission but we managed to pull through.
