Sweat rolled slowly down his face. His breathing becoming more controlled. Turning to his side he looked at Nate, who was now all curled up beside him. The young demigod seemed to be shaking, his eyes darting from one part of the darkness to another. Even though he could see nothing.
What am I to do now?
Dan thought as he closed his eyes.
And then he heard a distant sound, immediately his instincts kicked in and he held Soul Reaper tightly.
Soul Reaper's blade slowly glistened in the dark. The eerie whispers from the blade started manifesting.
"POWERRR, COME LETS GIVE YOU POWERRRR" the voices whispered into Dan's ears
"GIVE US THE YOUNG DEMIGOD'S SOUL AND WE WOULD GIVE YOU POWERRR"
"UNIMAGINABLE POWERRR"
The voices kept getting louder, it was as though a being was breathing down his neck and speaking those words to him.
Doing his best Dan tried to suppress the sound of the voices.
And then with his heightened sense of hearing picked up something.
