Chapter Twelve

MELANY

Once I walked out and crossed the grounds to get to the main building, I saw a continual wisp of shadows keeping in time with me. As I watched Erebus float in and out of my peripheral vision, it gave me an idea.

I stopped walking. “Do you want to help me with something?”

The shadows stopped moving as well, and Erebus stepped out of the swirling dark fog. “Depends on what it is.”

“I need to find Thanatos.”

He frowned. “Why in Gods’ sake do you want to find him?”

“Because I think there is something going on with time and death that could affect everyone.”

His expression darkened as he considered the gravity in my words. “How do you think I can help?”

“According to the Furies, Thanatos isn’t in the underworld, so that means he must be somewhere on earth.”

“The world is a huge place.”

“I know, but you could help me zip through the shadows to anywhere within seconds.” I tried to play to his ego, of which he had an abundance. “I can’t ask anyone else, you’re the only one who would be able to help me pull this off.”

A spark of intrigue danced in his eyes with my suggestion. “What do I get out of this?”

“Fun. I mean, when was the last time you had any? Besides that, you have nothing else going on right now since classes were cancelled.”

“What’s wrong with your shadow traveling skills?”

For a moment, I hesitated in answering but sighed. “Since Hades’… since the battle they’re rusty. I don’t always get to where I’m going.”

He nodded. “Yeah, your ties to him were strong.”

“I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to know if you can go on this little quest with me or not.”

He shrugged. “Sure, why not? I’ve been meaning to visit this cute, little, vintage clothing shop in Romania for some time now.”

“Great, you shop while I look for Death.”

He held out his hand to me. After a brief hesitation, I took it, and he pulled me into his shadow cloud. We were instantly plunged into darkness.

“Where to first?” he asked, with a cock of his magnificently sculpted eyebrow.

“I don’t know. I guess to Pecunia. That’s the last place I saw him.”

“All right. Let’s go.”

The mist surrounding us started to swirl, until we were inside a foggy tornado. When it dissipated, we walked out into sunlight and rows of tombstones. Erebus had taken us to the Pecunia town cemetery. That was not what I’d expected.

“Why did you bring us here?”

“We’re looking for Death, makes sense we start in one of his favorite type of places.” He tipped his hat. “We could go to the morgue if you like instead?”

“No, this is fine.”

As I looked around, I spotted a small group of people gathered halfway across the graveyard. They were all dressed in black. A few heads turned toward us, and I felt horrible. Erebus and I had crashed a funeral.

Noticing them as well, Erebus started walking their way, but I rushed to his side and grabbed his arm.
