NICO DI ANGELO:
Being the son of Hades there aren't many times you'd hear this out of me, but right now you could say I'm just chilling. If you call laying flat on my stomach feeling like a truck rolled over me about a thousand time chilling, then yes 100% chilling. There's always something painful in a demi-god's life, never fun, but for now, you could say being beat by lovely Will Solace...my boyfriend. For reasons I do not know of, and most likely wouldn't for a while, maybe I can tip a Hermes kid to find out for me. enough of that let's get to the actual reason we're here, the quest. Of course, you don't know which one, cause I haven't told you, yet. Don't worry you'll find out soon enough, let rewind.
It all started when, again, I was merely laying in my soft bed, just "chilling", when all of a sudden an arrow zooms past my head and to the ceiling, now you might be wondering 'Hey Nico how is that possible when are you lying down?' nothings impossible when you are a demi-god, especially if your parent is one of the big three. Yeah, I know they sound big, scary, and powerful, but really they're just drama queens with a lot of power, enough to vaporize you and then revive you just to painfully kill you again. Que to dramatic thunder, yeah yeah I get it your Gods, blah blah blah. Anyway, back to the topic at hand, the arrow, you know that one that almost killed me? Yeah, that one. There is was hanging over my head stuck to the ceiling, with a note knotted around it. You know the normal way to send messages nowadays, you might ask "What's wrong with texting?" well that's critically dangerous to demi-gods as well I know is there really anything safe for demi-gods? The answer is no, there's nothing, the one place we can truly live and be partially safe is Camp-Halfblood, where you'd likely find most of the demi-gods living, the other portion at the Roman camp, and the little part that's always missed, dead. Yeah, unfortunately, there is a number of times we've missed demi-gods, and they simply died.
Anyway, I get up and pluck it out and ready to throw it back the way it came, only to see shadows blurring around my bed. Being the son of Hades, the only few of his children, I know for a fact that none here in Camp-Halfblood could do this. Quickly I retrieved my sword, ready to battle whatever came through the camps barrier. The shadows flung up and then as fast as they came they dissolved away, leaving no evidence of their being away. Taking a look around the room, seeing nothing wrong I stared at my hand where the arrow which had a note lay. choosing to look into it, I tore the page away from the arrow and opened it up.
It read simple words a father would say to his dearly beloved son, note to sarcasm. " Urgent meeting." Wow, no hi sorry for endangering your life and as well as you little punny friends. Sighing heavily I walked out of the cabin and towards Will's "Hospital", Yeah I get it, don't start with me. Inside he was looking up some kids head, probably broken. I decided to let him know I was here so I spoke up, yeah I know brilliant, not only did he almost decapitate the kid he also let a "manly" scream out and probably deafened the boy, he turned to me and glared.
"What? I only said "Hey Will.", not even that loud, your overreacting!." He glares at the statement, sighing he gives up.
" what's going on? You usually come in around noon and right now its, as you say " Too early to function", so what's up, and don't bother delaying." he says as he gets back to healing his patient, who I bet by now is in worse condition than before.
" well...It's about my doctor's note." he glances at me, only to look back at his working fingers.
"No, whatever the hell it is, there are others that can deal with it. You are in no condition to even stand around for more than an hour, its a miracle you are still alive." he sighs but continues on.
" I got you back, and I don't want to lose you just because of some deity, whose unable to do their own work." he leaves his patient and hugs me tight.
" Nico, I love you. And because of that, you're not going anywhere." He squeezed once more and then leaves to fend for his patients.
"Hey I know, and in all honestly I don't want to. But this is from my dad...Its...I can feel it, something's wrong down there, like messed up wrong." I began while passing around.
Looking down at his hands, I could tell he was frowning. Sighing I got up and went over to him.
" Hey, I'm not saying I'm going to do anything, I'm asking only to go down there find out whats happing and then if it's that bad, we'll do something about it, but if it's like nothing and it's just me being delusional, then we'll simply just walk out and that's it." I looked at him hopefully, I know never heard of the Nico di Angelo, aka death boy begging and looking at anyone like that, keep it that way, this never happened.
" Fine. But only under my conditions, first, you cant shadow travel there, second, no death magic, third," he got up " I'm going with you." and began picking out his bag.
" What? woah Woah! That's-its- I'm- No!" I started, but you know its ignore Nico day, cause he just walked by me, and you know usually they'd be like "Omygod Nico I'm sorry for ignoring you even though your right there" but walking away and not uttering a word works too.
"Ok then! Love you too!" I yelled at him sarcastically.
