Nico's Quest

Deadline

Thank you all for your support and PMA.

Nico

         Nico watched the first candle glow like a beacon of hope. A beacon of faith. He smiled. Last time he had lit one of the candles it had been on the last day of Hakuhah. His father had been stubborn about it to his mother. Of course she had found it hilarious to make the Greek God of the Underworld light the first six. Will's soft breathing was so delicate like a sheen of ice on the Black Lake. But Nico couldn't take comfort from it. Something is coming. A shifting of the wind.
          He had tried to message Hazel so they can light the candles at the same time. But the connection didn't work. Which was odd. Normally Iris practically leaped through the rainbow to help him. Something about the fact that now they shared a symbol....... Nico shivered. He sighed and got up. He pulled on his jumper and headed out. He wanted to see if maybe, MAYBE the tight feeling in his gut would go away. He remembered what his father had said. Some deaths can and SHOULD not be prevented. But whose death? Last time this feeling disturbed him, Leo burned. As he stared out at the rolling hills. He remembered other rolling hills.

           N645748. The little girl's burn mark read. Nico knew without looking that his read N645749. The heat was oppressive. But not as unbearable as the smell. Rotting flesh. Again someone had died. The German landscape was so beautiful from what little he could see. Bianca and mama stood proud still. Mama is so brave. Why can't I feel like that? Why is God punishing me? Is it because of Will? But Will is dead..... I saw him die.
          SCREEEEEEECH!
          The train it stopped. Voices. Footsteps on snow. The train car opening. Where are we?
          PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME. I WANNA GO HOME. Auschwitz. That sign says Auschwitz.

          "And what is a student like you doing out of bed?" Came a hiss
           Mrs. Norris. Fucking cat.
           "Couldn't sleep. There is a storm brewing in the West."
            "That is not a good reason. FILCH! FILCH! COME ON YOU RAGGED BAMBOON!"
             Nico sighed and melted into the shadows. They were warm this time. Erebos almost seemed worried. He had to get to the bottom of this and fast.
