the power to fascinate someone; the quality of being fascinating.

A sword? Yes, the boy was holding a sword.

Did it scare him? To be completely honest, it terrified him. Some creepy man had been escorting Bianca and him to who knows where just moments ago. And to make matters worse, some random guy holding a sword that seemed to be made out bronze was approaching them.

The strange boy spoke. He was going to protect them? Wait, like a hero in Mythomagic?

The boy was slammed into the wall. Nico winced, looking horrified at the sight. He grabbed his sister's hand, squeezed it to make sure she was there. Suddenly he felt terrified for the boy. He looked dazed and had trouble getting up. Please, please don't pass out, Nico muttered under his breath.

The boy's name was something Jackson. With the creepy man's thick accent, Nico hadn't heard the first part.

Suddenly, the boy swung his sword at the man. Nico's eyes widened in shock. The boy stumbled and was still lightheaded from the impact, but Nico saw pure determination in his eyes. His sea-green eyes. Wow, they're beautiful. It was fascinating, watching a real hero in action.

That was the first time Nico had seen a demigod in action and needless to say, he had been completely captivated.
