Into The River

"Charon! Do you know who—!"

Slam!

But before Mark could get out his words, the long stick in Charon's hand slammed into Mark's temple, and Mark felt his brain rattle from the shock as he almost fell off the edge of the boat. What the hell just happened?

"Hahahahaha! Did you believe striking a deal with me would be enough to save you? You demi-gods are all the same! So foolish!"

The shrill laugh from Charon made Mark's ears ring, and he groaned as he tried to get himself back under control. That hit was unbelievably heavy! A hand suddenly reached out to grab Mark as Charon prepared to throw Mark over the edge of the boat.
