What?!" The man exclaimed. Nico took a deep breath as if bracing himself
"You heard correctly, a soul for a soul" Nico answered back.
"Who told you such thing, that is forbidden information" Thanatos exclaimed
"It was Minos, he told me I could do it, when I was searching to revive Bianca" his voice cracked, I got the feeling Bianca was somebody really important to him
"Nico" the man said
"No! Thanatos if I do this it shall be a soul for a soul, I can't use a would that my father will collect eventually" he said. Who was his father, a man that collected souls? Like professor Binns? Strange hobby.
"You mustn't, it defies the ancient laws" the man said. Wait, what where the ancient laws, the only laws that existed in the wizardring world were the laws that ministry put.
"But I'm not abided by your ancient laws, according To them, gods cannot cross each other's territories except by invitation. That is another ancient rule. Heroes, on the other hand, have certain privileges. They can go anywhere, challenge anyone, as long as they're bold enough and strong enough to do it. No god can be held responsible for a hero's actions" Nico said
"Nico, it isn't wise, it would disrupt the circle of life" the man said
"I must, I owe the seven that at least, I owe it to Frank, and also Hazel is my sister, it was my fault she died in the war, I cannot carry the burden, I couldn't protect Bianca because I wasn't there, but I could protect Hazel and I failed. I have to make it right"
"Nico, what you attempt to do, can either end your life, or send you to a one way to ticket to The fields of punishment"
"I will, it isn't an option, I won't take Tom's soul as a ransom, I took Deadulus's soul because he deserved it, but not Tom's. Beside, I'll spare him the bother of having to suffer for all iternity"
"Fine" the man said the word like he couldn't bare saying it. He snapped his fingers and dissapeared.
Nico POV
I looked at the bewildered looks of the school that surrounded me. Great, I thought myself, freak'n great
"Shit" I swore. Some people gasped, oh no, I used a swear word, I thought to myself ironically. Like hell, I needed to take care of things. I pulled out my wand, which had been forged by myself with the help of Peeves, which was exactly why I was talking to him the day the Golden Trio had looked at me.
"Lumos" I chanted. Light appeared, amplified by my wand "aguamenti" I said, sustaining two spells at the same time. Teachers looked at me dumbfounded. A rainbow appeared, without losing concentration I dug a drachma out of my pocket. I was gonna have to ask help to my father.
"Oh fleecy, do me a solid" I said, using the cover incantation that Fleccy had told Hazel and Frank when they met Iris.
"Show me Hades, in the underworld" I tossed the drachma into the rainbow it shimmered as if trying to gain connection, but then my drachma was spit out of the rainbow. Which had never happened. I frowned, something must've happened
"Oh fleecy do me a solid, show me iris" I said, praying that the location to find her mistres wasn't needed. The result was the same. I growled in frustration. I'd have to carry the message another way. Fine, I thought to myself, let's do this hades style.
Harry POV
The incantation was strange, the boy seemed that he wanted to give a message, surely he knew that there was no possibility that of contact to outside world in Hogwarts apart from letters. The rainbow vanished and he sheathed his sword. He took a deep breath and stomped his foot into the floor. The floor shook again, he seemed to have forgotten that we where here. A skeletal hand rose. Hermione shrieked into my ear, I winced
"Sorry" she said. Other's had surged away from the boy. A skeletal warrior appeared. It looked at Nico as if waiting for orders. What was the deal of this boy? The ghost and dead seemed to obey him? He concentrated and a ball of shadows appeared. He handed the ball to the skeleton who stood there as if nothing had happened
"Find Will Solace, son of Apollo and tell him in human language that Nico Di Angelo needs him, something about doctors orders. If he says yes, then had him the sphere and tell him that when he is ready to smash it, a portal will appear and that he must cross it" he said "go" the skeleton vanished. Nico crumpled to his knees, gasping as if he where dying. He coughed and sputtered. Then a swirling black portal appeared and a boy opposite to Nico appeared. He was blonde and tanned. He exclaimed
"Nico!" He ran to his side. Forcing him to lay down he pulled out a bottle. A ragging cough shook Nico.
Hermione POV
It reminded me of when Harry had visions of Voldemort. But when blood gushed out of Nico's mouth I knew that this was something.
"Nico!" The blonde exclaimed. Well somebody seemed onto care about emo kid. Then he fixated his attention on an invisible force behind Nico. He swept his hand and chanted
"In the name of Hecate let the mist dissapear" a thing appeared out of the blue. We shrieked and the boy that kneeled by Nico drew a bow. He backed away and shot. The arrow lodged itself into the eye of the thing and it wailed.
"Curse you!" Gold dust seemed to descend upon the blonde. He ran out to Nico and taking the bottle he had carelessly dropped and poured the contents into Nico's throat. Nico coughed and gagged.
"Neeks, gods, do you want to go to your dad the hard way? I told you, no more underworldy things, doctors orders" the blonde exclaimed
"Will, I had to" Nico said. The blonde hugged Nico and helped him stand.
"How are you?" Will asked, touching Nico's face. Nico's face reddened and jerked out of Will's grasp.
"I'm fine Sunshine Boy" i wonder if they are dating?
