Son of Dead, hear wise, You come here to demise,
The world erupts into chaos when the angel has to be fought.
Stop the darkness before it departs, the underworldly powers shall come at large,
When lightning finally bows down, will the problem end...

Will and Nico sat on a beach, leaning on each other, stealing the warmth. It had been almost two years since the Second Giant War and the camp was in good health. Everybody was back to business. The Oracle of Delphi had started working again and Apollo had his godship back. Apollo due to all the help provided by his kids and a few more people here at CHB, provided them gifts. Austin was given a golden bow that harnessed the power of the sun itself, Kayla received a talking book that could help her figure out the solution to every problem, Percy received a little ring that could summon any god he wanted. And then came Will, he had helped Apollo out the most without even knowing it. Apollo blessed him that when the time is ripe, he will become the god of Light, Health and Diseases.
In the darkness of the night, the moon shone with brilliance. As Will hummed a tune, completely foreign yet calming and homey with his eyes closed to Nico who stared at the night sky. A cloud caught his notice... it was of the most peculiar shape, that of a Bident, and then it came to him.
"Sunshine?" Nico suddenly called out.
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to ruin the moment, but dad wants us. There is some urgent work."
Will knew better than to challenge the decision of the god of the dead and simply hummed an agreement even though he didn't want to go there. It wasn't like Hades didn't like him, he treated him like family. But, he really wanted to spend one undisturbed night with his Fiancé. Last month, when the two were on a visit to Apollo's realm, Nico proposed him. And it would be a lie if it was said that Will hadn't been carrying a ring in his pockets ever since spring, willing to do the same. They had their wedding at the end of this week, in a banquet made by Daedalus himself. Anyways, back to the Underworld.
As soon as they reached there, they found not one, not two, but 5 gods in front of them. Nico waved to Apollo, hugged Persephone(Yeah, they had grown friendlier. She treated him like her own son), gave Charon a fist bump, bowed to Hecate and his dad. Though he later gave Hades a hug too
"Dad, I am supposing that this summon was for some important reason."
"Of course not Son of Hades. 5 gods just appeared out of thin air to have a party", Hecate sassed.
"Remember your place Hecate, you are in my domain, addressing my son. Another such action and I might as well forget who you are." Hades said, with every word threatening her words, like a challenge. "Son," his voice softened up a bit, "We have two important matters to discuss. Firstly. Hecate, as you know, has a little realm of hers that she created by blessing certain rare and talented mortals the power of magic. Due to the lack of the upper hand when it comes to Western world, she sought that it would be better for them to hide under a veil of her enchantment, away from any sort of damage from our side." Nico just nodded as a sign that he knew this. Spending months in the underworld, and you learn all the Dark Secrets you wanna know.
"When a few years ago, a dark wizard created horcruxes, I warned Hecate to handle the situation while she could but she was stubborn and now things have gotten out of hand. The wizard came back to life last fall and has been gathering an army. His powers threaten the wizards, and mortals both. As much as we wish to put an end to this ideocracy, we ancient gods have restrictions to how much we can interfere in mortal lives. I want you two to go there for the next school year and get this situation controlled. Your objectives are to destroy the remains of his soul and protect Harry Potter, a young and famous wizard who is destined to kill this man."
"I have a feeling there is something else coming up too?" Will guessed as the entire statement had a huge BUT feeling(Pun intended).
Apollo spoke up, "Yes son. Another problem that we have is that we fear that a giant, who wasn't killed in Greece is also heading there to take control over this little realm, gain followers and create an army massive enough to take over the gods."
"And who might this be?"
"Alcyoneus"
"But he was killed... there is no way he came out of Tartarus or reformed in such a short while." Nico countered
"That is what we believed too, Nico until we found proof stating otherwise. The truth is that Alcyoneus was never in Greece. What you saw there was just a play of mist. He was truly just gaining power to overthrow us." Apollo replied.
"My son, I have spent eternity ruling and guiding the dead." Hades said, though he did sound excited himself, "I have been the ruler of the Underworld since the dawn of time. And there is only so much thrill that you can receive while doing the same job over and over again. That is why, I wish for you to replace me, make the Underworld a better place. You will be immortal, never dying, my equivalent. I will of course still have my powers but, you will have a replica of them and if you practice maybe you may make them even stronger. After a lengthy discussion with my brothers, it was decided that with a new generation of Gods, there will come a new generation of Customs, to be written by you and Will. "
"Me?" Will asked surprised, as this was supposed to be a Father-Son convo, not a Father-Son-Scarred soon to be Son-in-law Convo.
"Yes son, remember when I said that I will make you a god when it is time? Well today is the lucky day.", Apollo grinned
Will and Nico were both surprised and super happy! They both are getting to be gods. Every single bad news that they heard before this was covered up by this. They both eagerly said yes. Apollo and Hades chuckled at their excitement. They came up to their respective son and muttered some enchantments, until they both held an orb of power. As soon as it collided with their body, they started to feel some tired, their eyes dropping and drifting of to sleep.
"You will become a full god by the end of this week. See ya at the wedding." And they were shadow travelled to Nico's bed in cabin 13, cuddling, and fast-asleep.
