Living with gods

'Well shit'

Nico pov

Everyone knows the feeling of waking up, it's not exactly an uncommon thing. However it was unusual to wake up and not still feel  sleepy. Especially for a demigod, it was more likely to wake up feeling scared from the latest nightmare. However Nico couldn't seem to remember any nightmares. This alone was more than strange, Nico was not only prone to the normal demigod dreams, but constant nightmares about his sister. Starting to feel slightly alarmed he decided to open his eyes.

The first thing he noticed was the unfamiliar room. However his attention quickly shifted after he he heard a sharp intake of breath from the person next to the bed.

The person seemed to trying to hide them self behind their hands and the drapes surrounding the the large four poster bed he was lying in.

Nico quickly realised he didn't know this person. He looked male. The established he, had a head of golden blond hair, and his skin was tanned (very different from Nico's own, almost sickly pale skin). He also noticed sky blue eyes peaking at him half fascinated, half terrified.

This alone got Nico sitting up and attempting to climb out of the bed, but before he could the person quickly rushed over to his and stared speaking gibberish at him. Although he couldn't understand what the boy was saying he seemed to be gesturing for him to stay in the bed. 'To Tartarus with that' was what he thought before he attempted to stand only to have his legs buckle underneath him. 'Okay, maybe the sunshine boy had a point'.

After Nico's failed attempt to stand the so dubbed 'sunshine boy' seemed less panicked and now seemed slightly annoyed. However Nico still couldn't understand whatever meaningless nonsense he was spouting.

"Do you speak Greek?" Nico questioned slowly, having enough of the boys rambling. It seemed to work as the boy froze then nodded rather quickly.

'Okay' Nico thought 'now we are getting somewhere'. 'I need to find out some important information and at least if he doesn't give it to me I know he's not to be trusted'.

After looking around the room when I woke up. I knew that it was very much empty apart form the bed that he occupied. it was also dark, I noticed black drapes across the windows. However the other main feature I notice where the engravings that covered the walls it seemed to depict important moments of my life, but I couldn't look to closely as I had to focus on the strange person in the room with me. What I did notice was that there didn't seem to be anything that I could use for a weapon. Not good. If necessary I would just have to resort to hand-to-hand combat. Not my best fighting style but not my worst by any means. From a brief scan of the boy, he didn't seem to be armed.

"Where am I?" I questioned.

"In a tower above Mount Olympus" he said in Ancient Greek back to me. Okay so I know now that it is unlikely for him to be an enemy.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

" My name is Will Solace and I'm a son of Apollo" 'Okay now the sunshine thing made sense' "And I woke you up from a sleeping curse"

'Well shit'
