~3rd person POV~
The sky was dark, lightning arching above. A cold wind passed by, chilling the demigods huddled on the stone seats of the amphitheater. Drizzling rain watered the flames from a burning funeral shroud. The shroud of the one and only know mortal daughter of Hera. Before it stood the pale figure of the son of Hades, carrying out the burial rites for the honored dead. A shriek of grief escaped a new arrival. An Ares girl held her tight, keeping her from collapsing in hysteria. All demigods bowed their heads in respect and silence, watching the dancing flames and smoke from the shroud. The ceremony ended and rain poured more heavily before. Demigods ran toward their cabins for shelter. They knew, that the bad weather wasn't grieving with them. It was a sign of anger for betrayal or perhaps joy from the king above. A complete opposite of the mood of the funeral.
Thunder and lightning rolled by, so loud and so powerful, it made their teeth chatter and their voices scream. The son of Hades looked out from the cabin's door, watching the others scrambled toward their cabins. A hand touched his shoulder and he closed the door. He sat down beside his Roman half-sister.
"Are you feeling fine, Hazel?" He asked worriedly.
Hazel didn't answer, just looked down her palms. "She died a heroic death. Did it to save her best friend. Did it for all of us." She said quietly.
"Yeah." Nico said. He stared at the bed opposite. He remember what she had first asked her. Tell them that I'm dead. He tried to argue but the daughter of Hera had insisted. She must have known that it will be her last.
"The prophecy..."
"The fall on the hands of a dove's sake...she died to save her friend, an Aphrodite kid."
Hazel placed her face on her hands and sobbed.
Nico pulled her close into a hug. He was not an affectionate type but her sister needed it more than he do. "Don't worry. Her death won't be in vain. We will grant her last wish. We will defeat Tartarus no matter what. We will avenge her."
