"Nico Di Angelo fought bravely. He was one of the greatest Heroes of All Time. Our camp will always remember the boy who gave his life for people he didn't even know. Nico Di Angelo fought in the third war that was brought down. Without him this world would be in chaos and this whole camp would be dead. He has left behind many who love him dearly. So today we celebrate Nico's life. Camp Half Blood and a couple friends from the Roman camp have put together something to remember Nico. He will be missed." Chiron says.
Will gets up and motions for everyone else.
The first row is made up of, the seven, Will, and Reyna. The rest of camp half blood behind them in rows. Lou Ellen, Cecil, and a few others stand next to the Camp with hand drums.
"When the days are cold and the cards all fold." Camp Half Blood starts to sing. The people who really knew Nico are full on crying but even the ones who didn't know him or just knew him a little had tears in their eyes.
"And the saints we see are all made over gold
When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail are the worst of all, and the bloods run stale" the crowd sings the boys favorite song because it fits him so perfectly.
"I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you but with the beast inside there's nowhere we can hide." The only person not crying was Will Solace.
"But no matter what we breed we are still are made of greed, this is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come." They sing and the others start to play the drums.
"When you feel my heat Look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide." Then... Will Solace starts to cry.
"Don't get to close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide."
They stop playing the drums.
"Curtains call is the last of all when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl. They dug your gravel and the mas-quer ade will come calling out out at the mess you've made." People were now holding each other. Even Reyna had arms wrapped around her. Everyone had someone. Except one boy, the arms that would have wrapped around him are gone now.
"Don't wanna let you don't but I am, hell bound though this is all for you don't want to hide the truth. No matter what we breed we still are made of greed, this is my kingdom come this is my kingdom come!" All of the voices melting into one. For once even if someone was a bad singer any other day, today they were amazing.
The drums start again.
" when you feel my heat Look into my eyes it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide. Don't get too close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide." The people who were at the funeral that weren't from camp half blood were crying. All the gods had attended, only a couple were cry but even Nico's father, Hades himself let a few tears slip.
"They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate it's woven in my soul I need to let you go, your eyes they shine so bright I want to save that light, I can't escape this now, unless you show me how!"
"When you feel my heat look into my eyes it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide, don't get to close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide!" The song was over but no one clapped. The whole camp walked down to the beach.
They threw their black roses into the ocean.
Then as they walked back up, people broke away. Talking to others or sitting back down. Walking around and mourning the loss of a true hero. But one boy walked back to an old second home of his. Will Solace was once Nico Di Angelo's only sunshine and lit his way. But now, Will's life is pitch black. He walked into the darkness that was the cabin and locked the door behind him.
You may be asking who is watching all this happen. The boy who this all was for is watching from Elysium. He sobs, some tears of joy but most of sorrow. He cries tears of joy for what his former Camp did for him. But he cries the tears of sorrow for the boy he left behind. The boy that he loves so so dearly. The boy that he holds so close to his heart. Nico Di Angelo mourns for the day... That he'll see his one true love again.
