Nico di Angelo: Death After Life

(3) A God, a Hero, a Half-blood and a Mortal [Part 1]

'What? what lost? explain!' i scream to his face

'Last month before the winter solstice, Hazel went to camp half blood, hoping to meet you and . . .'

'Doesn't anyone tells her where i am!'

'Annabeth do, she tells her, but when Hazel's about to leave, Rachel announce a prophecy to her and Annabeth and . . .'

'What prophecy it is?'

'The prophecy said:

God in despair, must be repair,
Girl of underworld, should give a word,
Death and night are fine, mortal's life is in the line.
Hero of seven is betrayal, save by descendant of nocturnal.

Hazel though she is the girl from the underworld and . . .'

'What does the prophecy means?'

'In name of Zeus can you please stop interfering let me finish first'

'I'm sorry, you may continue' Nico saying sorry? definitely this guy is using some magic to me.

'Hazel thought she is the girl from the underworld, so she went back to camp jupiter, Annabeth sent an Irish message to the Romans, specifically to Praetor Frank, and told the prophecy. But in Chase shock, Hazel is not yet in camp, and it's impossible, since Hazel's horse, Arion, is the fastest horse, so they try to sent message to Hazel, they even try to locate her by gps, but nothings work, so Praetor Frank ask three demigods, including me, and assign a quest'

'You said three demigods where are the two? are there also here, in the car, waiting to be discover?' I ask him, i can't sense Hazel's death, so i'm pretty sure that she is alive and does our father knows it?

'Don't be ridiculous Nico, i was assign to find and tell everything to you, the other one is in camp half-blood, and the other one is in olympus, waiting for the solstice to end'

Yeah, i almost forgot about the winter solstice, where the only time, my father is allowed to enter the olympus, that's why he doesn't tell me about it.

'So what should we do now?' I'm totally blank, i don't know what to do, i'm not yet ready to loose another family, not now!

'Come with me to camp blood, since Hazel cast some mist magic to you, you are the only one who has a greater sense to her' He said, i don't know, is he using some magic, because i'm so willing to do anything he ask.

'Ok let's go, hold my hands and we will shadow travel'

He hold my hands, and i'm sure i feel some tiny sparks, and i'm not okay with that, his hands are so warm. Oh stop it Nico, you sounds gross.

I close my eyes and we shadow travel to camp half blood, i prepared myself to meet my friends, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, and even Will.

I concentrate much, that i didn't notice that we are already in Camp, but the sad part is that, i'm still holding tight, Paulo's hand.

We found ourselves in the middle of pavilion, Annabeth, is on the front with Chiron, and the other part Jason, Piper, Leo, Clarisse and two unknown demigods are sitting. Thankfully no Percy, or Will on the line.

'Oh hello Nico' Piper greeted, Jason give me a high five, Leo give me a hot hug, literally hot, as in he hug me in fire, Clarisse just nod.

'Welcome home Nico, as what you can see, were having a meeting, i ask the prophecy of seven including Clarisse, Percy is on a quest, he will be here by dinner, so i include Clarisse because she needs to tell something and Nico you must listen' Chiron said

'What is it? Clarisse!' I demand an answer from her

'My father Ares ask for your help!' Clarisse said

'I think you've heard it wrong, me helping Ares, a god? what can i do to a god, help the god of war in fighting? and i've got my own problem, so now guys where is my sister? and what exactly this prophecy means?' This is the first time i talk to Clarisse and i don't care about rumor, but i need to talk back to her.

'Me too, i don't get it! why does my father ask for your help, of all the demigods, Nico, son of Hades? but sad to say it is you, son of underworld, and this information is important' She sarcastically said

I don't hate Ares or either Clarisse, but sad to say Hazel is way more important than any problem of this god.

'Then tell me fast, i need to know what happen to Hazel!' With the word of Hazel everyone stop what they're doing and focus their eyes on me.

'Ok so one night i was having a patrol guard in Olympus gate, when my father, Ares talk to me. He said that gods have a problem, he didn't tell me what is it, but he said that it was a major problem' I see all of them swallow their salivas, even Chiron

Clarisse contiue 'So for Nico, he ask for your power to shadow travel, he said that there was a young powerful demigod in Asia, and he or she must be bring in any camp, and i insist it must be in Camp Half-blood if he or she is a powerful demigod'

'Oh great i will be a transporter? and why can't he do that he is a god, he can appear anywhere he wants' all gods can teleport, if they want

'Do you think he will ask for your help if he can do that?' Clarisse said, she got a point there!

I'm about to answer her when one of the unknown demigod say something

'Oh excuse me can i talk?' She raise her hand and ask Chiron

'Yes you may Roman, by the way Nico these demigods are from Camp Jupiter and . . . '

'Yeah, Chiron i know it already, Paulo told me' I turn to look for Paulo, but he is no where to be found, is he using some mist magic again? whatever this issue is more important

'Oh so Paulo told you already, this is Alex, daughter of Ceres, Demeter. . .' the girl who raise her hand, she give me a bright smile '. . . Toni, son of Mercury, or Hermes. . .' the boy who seated next to Leo, seriously they look alike, it's just Leo is tanner than him'. . . and Paulo, you know him already, he is outside feeding McQueen, son of Trivia or Hecate, descendant of Cupid or Eros . . .' tell me Chiron you're joking of all the god? why Eros '. . . he is also related to Hazel'

What Paulo is related to Hazel, so he is related to me also? Is he a godly side related or by blood?
