Will was just floating around a park one day when he saw a small boy sitting under a tree, reading a book. A few other teenagers were playing football a couple feet away. As Will watched, a boy with green eyes threw the ball way off target and it headed straight for the small black haired boy. The boy didn't realize it, and before he knew what he was doing, Will flew over and caught the ball in midair.

Everyone stared in shock, and the boy just looked confused. "You can levitate stuff?!?! That's awesome!" the green eyed boy exclaimed. "Can you do it with Annabeth's baseball cap?"

"Um, sure?" the boy replied, and seemed to glance up at me.

That's impossible. No one except immortals can see ghosts. He does seem a bit strange though.

I snapped out of my thoughts when the green eyed boy said, "Well, hurry up then." I flew over and plucked the hat off of the blonde girl. I slowly set it down on the ground and backed away. The kids cheered, and started to mob the boy. I started laughing uncontrollably, but stopped when I felt the air turn cold.

Turning around, I realized that everything was frozen in place, and the black haired boy was staring at me. He stepped around the teens and strolled over to me. My jaw dropped when he stuck out his hand and said, "Hi. My name is Nico di Angelo, but I'm more commonly known as the Ghost King."

I immediately dropped down onto one knee and bowed my head. "I am sorry I didn't recognize you, my lord," I said hurriedly.

I hope he doesn't send me to eternal punishment. That is definitely not how I want to spend the rest of eternity!

"Oh, get up. I'm not mad. Actually, I'm really happy," he said and I looked up in shock. "Actually, you are the first ghost to save someone and not just laugh at their misfortune. I admire that." Nico smiled. "I want you to come to the Underworld and be my advisor. You seem to make decisions that are just and follow good morals."

I was still in shock, but I obviously accepted. No one says no to the Ghost King. Over the centuries, he and I became very good friends, but I longed to be more than that. My wish came true when Nico confessed his love for me on the five hundredth anniversary of our meeting. Not long after we started dating, we got married, and let me just say, our wedding night was loud enough to wake the dead.
