Nico's POV:

We pushed open the battered door and walked into the house. I received a nod from Dionysus who said

"Nico" in acknowledgement. I saw their faces light up before he proceeded to say :

"Annibell, Polly, Jack, Peter, Lola, Tania, William!"

Leo squinted in confusion.
"But I'm not a gir-" he began.

"It's so great to see you all," Chiron said, stepping forward.

Calypso stepped forward. There was an awkward silence and calypso have him a sickly sweet smile. A 'fuck you' smile.

"So William, do you have the core?" Chiron asked.

"Hang on, I thought your name was Wilson, no?" Jason asked.

Will looked down sheepishly.

"It is, but he preferred Wilson for some reason. Never knew why to be honest," Dionysus said, sipping on some cola.

Will stepped forward and handed them the wrapped up cloth. Chiron took it from his arms, and carefully removed the fabric.

There was a blinding light and I squinted, covering my eyes with my hands. It died down to a dimmer, pulsating glow.

Dionysus smiled with malice.
"It recognises home," he said.

He reached out to touch it, his eyes glued to the stone, completely mesmerised.

Chiron pulled it away and the sky flashed.

"You know that if a god touches it, it can have devastating consequences!" Chiron snapped angrily.

Dionysus blinked and pulled away, looking confused.

He rubbed his temples, "I'm sorry- I- I don't know what came over me." He stepped back and winced.

"I think I need some rest."

"I'll deal with this for now, you just rest, you've had a long journey," Chiron said, before cantering away.

"What was all that about?" Annabeth leaned over and whispered to me.

"I have no idea," I lied.

A/N: Hey guys! Thanks so much for reading this (19k?). I'm really sorry for being inactive, but school's been a bitch and my mocks are in like 3 days so I've been very busy revising.
