The son of sobek

In this short story, Demigod Percy Jackson and Magician Carter Kane collide while hunting a giant, supernatural crocodile in Long Island. The creature is a Petsuchos, a son of the Egyptian god Sobek, that has been enlarged by a magical gold necklace. Percy uses his control over water and his bronze sword, Riptide, while Carter employs hieroglypic combat magic and a khopesh. The two protagonists must reconcile the differences between Greek mythology and Egyptian sorcery to defeat the monster before it destroys a nearby suburban neighborhood. They eventually combine their distinct combat styles, discovering that their separate magical worlds can occupy the same physical space.

Fans of urban fantasy and crossover fiction read this story to see how two disparate magic systems interact. Readers find out how Greek celestial bronze affects Egyptian entities and how magicians perceive the aura of a demigod. The narrative provides a technical look at how different mythological frameworks overlap in a modern setting. Someone finishing this piece walks away with a clear understanding of the tactical advantages and limitations inherent to both the Percy Jackson and Kane Chronicles universes, setting the stage for future collaborations between the characters.
