Don't You Dare - A Reynico Fanfic

Chapter 36

3rd person's POV

     "I must say I had intended to kill you at first, and simply collect your blood. But this is much better, I get your blood fresh and warm." :the titan continued. "But why the hades, sorry Neeks, do you need our blood." : Reyna growled. "The giants had the right idea. Demigod blood is potent and powerful stuff. And the emperors also had the right idea, cripple the demigods, cripple the gods." : he paused to point at Nico. "You Nico, are one of the three remaining children of the main three male gods. Thalia grace is the lieutenant of the hunters, and she hangs out constantly with Artemis. Far too dangerous for me to try to abduct. Perseus jackson resides in New Rome, the centre of camp Jupiter, again too risky to attack. But you, camp half blood with only that idiot dionysus present. Much easier. I discreetly coerced the delphic Oracle into sending you on a quest." : he nodded at Reyna, "knowing that you would follow her soon enough. Son of Hades and Camp Jupiter's advisor, two birds with one stone."

     "But how the heck did you manipulate the delphic Oracle?" : growled Nico, straining against his chains. "The same way I knew where you would be every step of the way throughout your entire quest. I am sure you noticed that my hunting parties always seemed to know where you would be." : the titan said smugly. "And what would that be?" : snapped Reyna. "Let me see." : said Koios, "Nico, what am I the titan of again?"  Nico racked his brain for any info on Koios. Powers, siblings, relatives. "Wait," : he thought, "relatives. Koios's grandson is apollo." Nico gritted his teeth and turned to look at Reyna. "Prophecy, foresight and intelligence." : he said, "Those are his powers. He's the titan of prophecy, foresight and intelligence."
