Jason considers that question carefully. "I have a friend who can control fire...so I probably have a few related to him. But, a good campfire story is also supposed to be scary so I'll share one that has some ghosts in it."
It didn't really have fire in the story, but any tale involving two children of Hades and near death experiences had to be good right? Jason offers Kubo an apologetic smile, "But, I'm not a story teller like you are...so bear with me here." He just hopes he makes it sound even a fraction as interesting as Kubo's had been.
"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire, the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.
Seven demigod heroes, from Greek and Roman backgrounds, had been chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy. It had taken them half-way around the world and along the way two of their number had fallen into the bowels of Tartarus. Their last words before they fell were for the group to meet at the Doors of Death in hopes of fulfilling the prophecy and hopefully rescuing them from the worst nightmare imaginable. The others knew it would not be easy, but they had no choice. They headed for the next part of their journey.
After many trials for another time, the heroes had reached the doors of death, located in the Necromanteion, an ancient Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. Hades and Persephone are rulers of the underworld and in order to enter their temple you must drink a toxic potion. However, to avoid actually dying, the heroes had consumed barley cakes which would help absorb the toxins and keep them from feeling the effects. As they descend into the temple they are faced with monsters and numerous Earthquakes to prevent them from getting to the heart of the temple and rescuing their friends.
One of the heroes, a son of Hades, uses a magical scepter to summon ghostly Roman soldiers to aid them in their battle as the monsters have grown too numerous to fight with just their small numbers. Normally, the Romans would answer to the command of a Praetor, a title held by one of the heroes, a son of Jupiter. However, during one of their stops the son of Jupiter had realized that his home was no longer among the Roman demigods he had grown up with -- he had started to feel like his place was among the Greeks instead. Sensing this change in him, the Roman ghosts would not obey him despite his title.
It was looking grim and the son of Jupiter knew that this was the last part of his old life he must set aside in order to move forward and save his friends. Before the monsters could destroy them all, the hero resigned his title and bestowed it upon one of the other Roman demigods present -- a hero who had proven himself in battle time and again and was a true Roman Legionnaire. This hero was a son of Mars and he was able to immediately turn the tied by commanding the undead soldiers to defeat the monsters. Once their path was clear, they were able to press forward and find the Doors of Death."
