~ The skull princess ~

_ Where are we? _

Darkness.
That's all that could be seen, that until I stumbled out a wall onto plain concrete
Scraping my hands along the way.
Heavy rain pounded the floor.
I looked to my side to see an Italian guy about my age. He seemed dazed.

"..wha..?" The guy murmured, he snapped out of his daze and looked around immediately noticing me

"Lyric! Are you alright?" He said staring at the scratched hands and seemingly bruised knees.

"Who?" I whispered.
He stared, as if I was joking.
"Uhm, sorry who are you?"

"I'm your brother! Nico di Angelo? Ghost king, major role in the war we were just in-"
He continued to ramble on about who he was,
I kinda just stared

"Okay dude, I think you've got the wrong person" I said while getting up

" Your joking? We've been siblings for years! No memories of like mythomagic or the casino?"

I stopped at the word casino, it felt like nostalgia washed over me.

"The, lotus casino?" I asked

"Yes! That one, phew, atleast you remember that." He sighed in relief

"I gotta contact cheron." He said pulling out a strange looking coin.
He then threw it at the water, which had somehow turned into a rainbow, I kinda gasped when the coin didn't hit the floor

" Chiron, Long Island " 'Nico' whispered

An image formed of a middle aged dude, a bandage wrapped around his head, he had bags under his eyes.

"Ah, Nico, How are you and lyric? We haven't seen you for a couple days." Chiron asked

" We've got a situation. Lyric has no memories." Nico replied
"I'll get the Hecate children to figure something out along with the Apollo kids."
The message disappeared into thin air,
I started walking away when I felt my self stumble, pain racking my mind as darkness seeped into it, I felt my body hit the ground, my hearing not having given way yet.

I heard Nico come over and shake me. Numbness crawled up my spine before my hearing gave way.
