Percy's POV:

Over the next few hours we rode in relative silence, if you ignored the long stream of curses that Arion was yelling at me as he ran. I struck up a conversation with Instinct and Iota about who we were facing and Iota suggested it was another giant, perhaps one that was related to death. Instinct agreed and gave a list of names which consisted of Thoon and Alcyoneus. We agreed on Alcyoneus since Thoon wouldn't have captured Thanatos. Before I knew it, I felt my connection to the moon lessen ever so slightly and I knew we were in Alaska. I heard Frank give a shout of victory and I turned around to see a bird where Frank used to be. Suddenly the bird shifted back into Frank and I smirked.

"Found out what your ability was Frank?" I asked and he nodded with a smiled

"Yeah, after some thinking, I figured it out then put it to action" Frank said and Hazel smiled as she held his arm

'Heads up, I feel a power increase to the north west slightly' Iota said

'Instinct, can I get a birds eye view please?' I asked and Instinct disappeared and I saw a large mass that I recognized as North America 'Iota, can you pin point the location of the energy?' Iota nodded mentally and I saw the vision gain a small square before instinct zoomed in until we were looking at a large glacier

I focused back on my surroundings and steered Arion towards our destination. We continued for another few hours before I saw that we were heading straight towards a large wall of ice. As we got closer I saw a large chunk of ice break off and Arion ran under it before racing up the wall of ice like it was nothing. We stopped when we reached the top and I saw a chained figure in the distance. I sprinted toward the figure making sure to jump the gaps in the ice.

"Thanatos" I said as I reached the figure and he looked up and his hood fell off

"You sound familiar..." Thanatos said and I smirked as I pushed my hood down and stared at the god of death in the face "Percy?"

"The one and only Thanatos" I said and he smiled

"I see you found a way to get out of the Isles of the blessed" Thanatos said and I laughed and nodded as Frank, Hazel and Arion ran up "I don't suppose you have a way to get me free do you?"

"Rule one, always come prepared" I said as I summoned Lunar's Light and swung at the chains while channeling energy into the blade

The chains broke easily as the Aieon cut through it like a hot knife through butter. I smiled as I willed the blade away and Thanatos stood up and smiled.

"So, the pesky demigods have found a way to free death? Interesting" a voice boomed and I heard the sounds of a marching army coming toward us

I turned and saw a large army of shades coming our way with a large humanoid with reptile feet making his way to me.

"Alcyoneus, how nice of you to show your ugly ass face" I spat with a smirk as Alcyoneus growled at the insult "Thanatos, you mind?" I asked and he smiled

"I will help since he captured me and I want some revenge" He said as he spread his wings before having them disappear and pulled out a sword

"Frank, Hazel, and Arion you work with Thanatos and get big and ugly over there into to Canada" I said and I spotted a glint of gold "I'm going treasure hunting"

"You can't take on that many enemies" Hazel said and Thanatos chuckled

"Percy can do much more than he leads on" He said and I nodded as I pulled Riptide out and summoned my shield
