The god raised an eyebrow slightly"Do you know any of you know why this book is needed? You should know well enough trying to steal it could have gotten you one way ticket to punishment" said sharply eyes narrowedva deep green color of hellish flames. His black melted into the back ground and smirks when the son of Ares wanted to know if the strange white hound knew tricks. "He does let me show you Xheial show our fine guest a nice trick you know as long as you don't kill him" he looked down at the houndvthat nodded getting up and walking toward the son of Ares and circled him then suddenly the hound lashed out with anger snapping his iorn jaws around the males hand and shook him like a ragdoll. The hound then for a nice little trick made two fingers dissapear. The hound jaws had blood on it grizzly fangs shined in the dim light and went back to its master and licked the blood off its muzzle. Thanatos chuckled darkly "don't worry kids your friend will be fine just missing two fingers nice trick eh buddy?" Cackled darkly eyes shone with twisted smirk but he sighed gently and said. "Well if none of you can tell me why you need that book then you must call up Chiron or director D. I will not give it to kids" he said eyes blank and hard to read but there was a soft undertone of kindness to it. Death was not cruel.... Not always.
