Chapter 18: Of Half-bloods and Answers
ALASTOR NYX:
It was kind of a surreal moment for Alastor, being in a hotel room with two of his closest and oldest friends having a video call (of all things) with a demigod turned monster-hunter–who should have been dead ten years ago–at least an hour after the mysterious mercenary's short call.
The demigod who called himself 'Nick' looked like a regular mortal man at first glance. If one would have spotted the demigod somewhere in a crowd, they would have initially thought of him as one of those young college professors–or a lawyer with his well-put demeanor or maybe it was just the glasses that made him look like a classy nerd in Alastor's opinion.
Nick just had that smart, calculating look in his unnervingly bright, silver-gray eyes that made Alastor think of a snake pretending to be asleep but had actually been eyeing a potential prey... before gobbling them up whole in one go.
Okay, maybe not.
