Hades? My mind is racing. I can't be the son of Hades. Hades is scary and mean. He's literally The God of Hell. I can't be the son of him. I'm too happy. Right? Right? Oh, fuck. Who am i kidding? I'm definitely the son of Hades. Scary and mean? Like father like son.
---------
Time passes and I hear on knock on the Hades cabin door. Its Will. Again.
"Hey, Nico." He says
"Hello." I say coldly. I don't really know why I'm mad at him. He hasn't really done anything wrong.
"Are you okay?" He asks "I though you'd be happy that you were claimed."
"I thought I would be too." I say
"So why aren't you?"
"Because it's his fault." I say "It's his fault that I'm such a dick. Its his fault that I'm into things a little on the creepy side and the reason I have no friends and waste my time on Mythos. It's his fault I was bullied."
"How's all of that his fault?" Will asks
"Because he didn't look for me before!" I yell, getting upset "He could've led me here sooner, before I got attached to my foster parents and before I was bullied and before people made fun of me because I seemed a little darker than I maybe should've been. He should've come for me sooner."
"It's not his fault. It doesn't have to be." Will tells me. "You cannot spend your whole life mad at your father because he didn't come for you sooner. He kept you safe through the war. If you had known before you could've died. A lot of us did. You could've died and he didn't let that happen."
"I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about," I say.
Then, there's a loud horrifying screeching sound.
"Crap." Will says "They won't let us leave now. We're stuck here til morning.
With all the confusing and wonder that I've gained over the past day, I decide I'll question him until I run out of questions. So that night, I do.
I question him well into the night. I ask about the war. The people who died, the people he saved. Why we're stuck here until morning and so much more. Were up until late, and we fall asleep leaning in each other's shoulders.
