Nico's POV
I caught Anubis just as he was about to leave our school. "Hey, were going to miss class, and I don't want detention!" I laugh even harder at the expression he makes when I spin him around. "Nico?! What..how...Percy and Annabeth.." "I shadow traveled." "I told you not to do that! It saps your strength, it's just not healthy!" "We can argue about it at home, I was serious about detention." "I can never tell when you're joking" he says, in a bad imitation of my father. "You suck at imitating, and I mean that in the best possible way." I say, patting his back playfully. Then we walk to class, laughing our heads off.
Hades's POV
Again, I smile at my son. He's come a long way. Then I rush to Olympus to call off the search for Nico, he deserves to be happy. I just wish I could be that happy. I sigh, and go to the underworld to play fetch with Cerberus. Persephone has changed, I decided to divorce her, I don't regret my decision, but it gets lonely down here sometimes. I wish I could be a demigod. Hey, that's not a... LIGHTBULB!!! I rush to Olympus to tell the other gods my idea.
Nico's POV
My dad informed me that he had called off the gods and demigods searching for me, and I am thankful. I just wish that he got some happiness too. I already told him that he could come to our safe haven of a school whenever he wished, but he didn't seem convinced. I'm sure that me and Anubis are going to live a good life, and if I can, my dad can too.
