Nico sighed and down the hall with Lillith's notepad and pen in hand. She had vanished before he could give it back to her. She seemed to have a knack for disappearing, blending into the crowd and not being seen. She was a misfit just like him. He leaned against the wall in the hallway and pulled the notebook in front of him. She said she doodled in it so he opened it. He flipped through he first two pages and was amazed at what he saw. She had done a ton of beautiful pencil drawing of lots of different animals, but then his eyes rested on something disturbing. A very detailed picture of a manticore and there was a harpy there too. Where had this girl seen these? Mortals couldn't see them so did that mean...that she was the one he was looking for? The one his Father had sent him here to get? His Father had told him that he was looking for a dangerous monster that needed to be slain, but she was just a girl. She didn't look dangerous at all but then how did she know about these creatures? Could she be a demigod? No, Nico would be able to tell if she was but then again she did say that she had dyslexia, a common sign that a demigod was around.

"Hey you." He heard someone call him. He looked up from the notebook and saw a guy with brown hair and a low cap coming towards him on crutches. "What in Hades is someone like you doing here?" He said.

"So your the satyr huh? Larry wasn't it?"

"Yeah but that doesn't answer my question. Your a demigod and you know you are so why are you here and who are you?"

"Im Nico son of Hades."

"Hades? Now I'm more curious."

"Well I'm not gonna tell you anything else. So tell me his many demigods you got here?"

"Just the one, Aurora. She isn't that powerful but I'm still watching over her."

"What about that Lillith girl?"

"No she's not a demigod. She is just a weirdo. Everyone says she is a Witch, apparently tricks people into thinking she has like magic powers and stuff so they leave she alone. That's all I know about her, she isn't the social type."

"You sure she's not a demigod?"

"Dude I'm a satyr I can smell demigods."

"Don't ever call me dude." Nico said glaring at him. Larry held his hands up and smiled nervously.

"Wow no need to get angry. Just trying to be nice is all." Nico turned the notepad around and shoved it at Larry.

"This is her notepad. It's mostly full of drawings of animals but that sure looks like a manticore too me and there is a harpy in there too." Larry looked at the drawings closely.

"She might have seen these in a greek mythology book or there is the very rare case where mortals can see through the mist and see the monsters too, but I'm sure that she is not a demigod."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Nico said taking the notepad back and walking away from him.

"Wait where are you going?"

"To ask her about this of course." He said holding the notepad up.

"You can't just do and ask her that, she might get suspicious." Nico stopped and turned to face him with an unpleased look.

"No one in their right mind is going to guess that the greek mythology world is really. People don't just guess that kind of thing." Nico said continuing to walk away. He stepped into the shadows and disappeared leaving Larry by himself looking at where he had just vanished.

"Children of Hades sure are creepy." He said to himself before walking of on his crutches and fake feet...
