Loki's P.O.V

Tyler raised his arms and his eyes glowed white. The ground erupted and skeletal hands clawed through the surface, followed by skulls and then the bodied. They chattered their teeth and I counted dozens of them. They held spears, swords, shields, daggers, tridents and knives. They surged towards us and attacked as one. I dodged a spear and parried a sword. I lunged at one and knocked its head off. I stumbled back as I was knocked by a shield. I cut the legs out from under one and blasted blue energy from my staff. A group of skeletons exploded into dust. I glanced at Percy and saw him attacking them like demons. I spun in a circle, obliterating all of the skeletons around me. Stab, duck, lunge, dodge, slash, parry, repeat. Soon most of the skeletons were defeated. Percy headed towards Tyler, Riptide glinting in the darkness. I continued killing the skeletons while the two boys battled. Soon there was none left. I heard a cry of pain and saw a sword sticking out of Percy's stomach.

"Percy!" I cried out as he collapsed onto his knees. I tried to get him but more skeletons erupted from the ground. I felt my mouth raise in a snarl. I attacked the skeletons viscously, tearing them down. I saw Tyler reach down and touch Percy's shoulder.

"No!" I shouted and lunged at them. White light filled the room as I reached out to grab them, but my hands closed on air. I couldn't believe it. Percy Jackson is gone.
