The Godslingers 3: Chapter 30

Jack's POV

Dreams. The one thing I hate about being a demigod.

In my dream, I saw Gaia talking to Hades. Hades's long black hair was streaked with grey everywhere and was falling in his face. Hades looked up with bloodshot black eyes. He opened his mouth, but closed it as if it hurt to breathe. He was under a vortex of clouds and wind. "Now, now Hades. Save your strength, grandson. You will be faded soon, sadly. That's what I aim for."

Then a rumble shook the Earth. Nico Di Angelo phased through the floor. He was in a chariot of shadows pulled by skeletal mares with fire for manes. Behind him was Atlas, wearing rags. Zombies swarmed out of a pit in the ground.

"Father! We are here!" Nico shouted.

"Yes, cousin! As much as I hate my curse, it's better than rotting in Tartarus. And I would miss bickering with my cousins."

They charged Gaia. In the chaos that followed, Hades and Atlas switched places. Then they retreated.

I woke up with Josh shaking me. "Jack...it's Gegenes. They are here. They got Linda and William. We need to rescue them."

" Well, this should be muy interesante."
