Children of the underworld.

CHAPTER 0NE- THE CALLING 

 Ellie's POV

             I was in my room listening to my music when I heard something that scared me.

             "Chiron called", she said as she came into my room, “he said the underworld is under attack"

             "I'm going now", I said as I grabbed my sword, petted my dog, Nico, and said the magic words, “Greek underworld twice!"

 Carter's POV

             "Carter, you home", Horus said inside my head.

We walked to our father's throne and saw our father, Osiris; the god of the underworld, in the same shape.

But I knew I shouldn't have done that a giant something came down and almost grabbed me if it hadn't been for my miraculous firebending. My dear father rushed to my aid, but I was OK. We waited for Nico, who was pretty slow, and walked back to the throne room. i was the first one in there then, i saw them.

Osiris, who is talking to our father, is the Egyptian god of the underworld but they are  not  demigods.
