~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Sunday and the first day of October. (Deal with it). Hazel and Frank left. The days passed like they did. Nico excelled in all his classes. He was amazing in his clubs. He was still working on the painting. As for music, teaching kids wasn't that hard. The only things Nico had to worry about included his sanity, his health, his red eyes and his life. Nothing too big. 

"Hey Nico?"

"Hm?" He turned to Drew.

"How do you know about the Egyptians?"

"Met Anubis in the New Orleans graveyard. I was eleven with King Minos. I immediately recognized him from mythomagic."

"Oh." 

"After that, I found out there were annual conferences with the death gods. I was invited later."

"Why were you there? And why death?"

"Death is universal. As for why I was invited there, ask Hades. I have no clue."

"Because you have helped out multiple times. More than any of my other children had." Hades came up. 

"You've accomplished more than them. You nearly killed yourself in the process which proves you need more training, but you still did more than them."

"Dad..." Nico was in shock. So were Drew and Lacy. The girls quickly bowed wile Nico kneeled. 

"I'll be taking my son. I need him for a while."

"Okay..." They were gaping.

Nico went to the shadows with Hades. They appeared in the throne room. Hades sat on the throne. On Hades's right, Nico noticed Persephone on her throne. She waved and Nico waved back. They've been improving their relationship. When Persephone figured out Nico was gay, she was really supportive and started hanging out with him more. Nico looked on Hades's left were there was a beautiful throne, smaller and less extravagant than Hades's but still elegant and amazing. It was black with jewels decorating it. It didn't look very comfortable to sit on, but on it, you would look amazing. Beauty is pain. Nico kneeled for the second time.

"You summoned me my Lord?"

"No need for those formalities. I'm still your dad."

Nico got up. Hades looked towards the empty throne.

"Pluto and I will be presenting our heir in the meeting."

"It's the same person?"

"Yes. I assume Pluto has told you?"

"Yes Father."

"Alright. I want you to hang out with Persephone and she will help you train and improve your powers."

"Very well."

Persephone got up and Nico went to her. She walked out of the palace. For hours, she taught him tricks and tips. She showed him how to fight better. 

"Rely and don't rely on your instincts. Battle stances are good and all, but try to make the person have their guard down. At first, do what your instincts tell you not to do. Conserve your energy. Then, when they let their guard down and become sloppier, quickly finish them off."

They went to powers. 

"Focus. How did you manage to learn about your powers by yourself?"

After a few hours, they wrapped up.
