COULD HE BE THALIA'S BROTHER? OR SOMETHING?

It's been two months now since Nico and I left camp.

I finally had a quiet life, I almost imagined myself as a mortal just taking care of her baby brother.

Notice how I said almost.

Hades called Nico and I down to the Underworld. Nico had left before I could, I had taught Nico how to shadow travel two weeks after we had left camp.

The first time he shadow travelled, he accidentally shadow travelled to China and passed out for a week.

I spent hours searching for him, once I had found him I brought him back home.

Nico has gotten better, but he can't shadow travel for more than two times a day without a break.

I produced a shadow and let it take me to the Underworld. As I got to the Underworld, I pulled myself over in the direction of the palace. When I appeared, Nico, Hades, and Persephone were there.

"You must venture off to Camp Jupiter," Hades said. Persephone smacked his arm.

Well dam.

"Damn no, hello, how are you?" I asked.

He sighed, "sorry. Hello, how are you?"

"Fine, now why must I venture off to Camp Jupiter?"

"Nico went searching of Bianca," he said looking over at Nico. My head snapped over to the Nico.

"Is this what you're doing while I'm out?" He nodded his head. "Did you you find her?" He shook his head no.

"He didnt find her but he found someone else. I'm not allowed to see her at all or I'd be forced to follow the ancient rules. But you guys aren't."

I stared at him confused.

"Before meeting Maria, I met another woman. Marie Levesque,—"

What's with Hades and theses Marie and Maria's?

"—but not in my greek form. I met her in my roman form. We had a daughter, Hazel. When she turned thirteen, Marie moved to Alaska. I had warned her not to but she refused to listen." He took a deep breath before continuing.

"Eventually Gaea possessed Marie, Hazel killed her mother although she was trying to protect her, though in the process she also killed herself. She had called upon all the riches of the island and the cave they were in collapsed. She's spent the past years in the fields of Asphodel, she was supposed to go to Elysium but aruged it was unfair for her mother to be sentenced to the fields of Punishments and her being allowed to go to Elysium. So she had both of them go to the fields of Asphodel, and that's where Nico found her."

I stood there soaking in all the information.

"So what if he found her?" He looked over at Nico as if saying to tell me.
