A Solangelo Story

bossed around by dead Apollo kids

As soon as Bianca mentioned people that want to talk to Nico. Three more spirits appeared Olivia Meijer (pronounced my-er) the youngest that passed she was only 12, Lee Fletcher and Michael Yew two children of Apollo that died in the Battle of Manhattan. Of course there were many more that did, but these two were specifically really close to Will, and Nico wondered if this had anything to do with that.

"Why...?" Nico says to Bianca not expecting those specific spirits to suddenly appear

But before Bianca could answer that Reyna asks "Nico, who are they?"

Nico turns to Reyna and responds his tone sad "a very small portion of the many children of Apollo that died in the Battle of Manhattan" Nico's voice cracks as he continues speaking "Will's siblings, Lee, Michael and Olivia"

"Oh... So it's personal?"

"Yeah"

"I'm as much as I'm loving the weather out here. We don't have that much time to talk to you. Nico and I'm kind of offended that you didn't at least say hi to it" ghost Lee says in his amused voice that he always had whenever he was messing with someone

"Oh shut up Lee This is probably hard for him" spirit Olivia says using her translucent hand to smack Lee in the shoulder before adding on an insult for good measure "quit being just as bad at human interaction as you are at archery"

"Oh you just had to mention the archery Olivia. You just had to mention that. Well you know wha-"

Michael cuts Lee off "guys stop. There's more important matters."

Reyna is dumbfounded watching this entire interaction. "Wait wait wait spirits can just like act like it's the same as they were when they were living?"

Nico shakes his head "not completely no, but they try to make the best of their afterlife not all of them. Most of the spirits I see are not the happiest. It's kind of nice to see this for a change"

"Okay noted" Reyna responds making sure to remember that for the future just in case she bumps into any ghosts at any point in time.

Nico turns back to the dead Apollo kids and asks "okay what's going on? Why do you guys need to talk to me?"

Lee responds rolling his eyes as if it's obvious "we're here to talk about Will's 18th birthday. dam why couldn't I have gotten one of those?"

"Maybe because you're dead" Michael responds before turning to Nico and saying "well we want to know if you can give will a gift from us. In the Apollo cabin there's this bunker in the floor. We need you to go down there. And grab a box that's labeled Will's gift. There are many other boxes down there that are labeled for other Apollo campers, but most of the Apollo campers that have their name on those boxes... Didn't make it out of the Battle of Manhattan so they're never going to receive their gift. And don't worry, we will do something for you in return for getting the gift out of the cabin"

"Oh... Okay, easy enough" Nico pauses before continuing "Actually there is one thing you could help me with. I have zero idea what to get. Will for his birthday and I absolutely need help. I want it to be special. I want it to be important. I want it to be surprising and I want it to show that I care but I don't know what to do and you guys. He grew up with you guys. You guys know him probably better than anyone else. Do you know what I could do for him? Or get for him?"

"Will yes we do know. Will really well but gift-wise we don't know really much about that." Olivia responds to Nico trying to help him out "He's kind of complicated when it comes to that but he does like when it's personal when it involves family especially lost family members"

Those four words that Olivia said "especially lost family members" gave Nico an idea "Gods Olivia, you're a genius!"

"For one I know and two why am I a genius this time?" Olivia says amused

"Cuz you just gave me an idea on what Will's gift will be"
