"How does it go?" Reyna asks slowly looking up.

"It's only a portion but it here is is-" Chiron begins and everyone is quite.

Son of Death
Daughter of war
Shall head west
Pass the land without rain
Where there lies new banes
Who shall settle a score
War and Death united at last

"The rest is burned off." He announces and more people shuffle uncomfortable. "But the last line goes-

Will end this war.

"Chiron." Nico interjects and Reyna looks up her eyes studying him, "A quest is supposed to have three people go, this prophecy only states two."

"That is true that tree is a strong lucky number but we must made due." He strokes his beard, Nico noticed he does that a lot. "Please it is very late, return to you cabins to get some rest."

Everyone gives a small groan and makes their way back to there cabins. Reyna hasn't spoken a word since the prophecy was spoken.

"Reyna." Nico taps her shoulder and she snaps out her thoughts. "You almost walked into a tree."

She nods and continues to walk but around the tree and tries to remain more focused. They reach the Hades cabin and Reyna steps in first and then turns to Nico.

"I have to change."

His eyes widen and he steps out the cabin and Reyna changes into sweats and a clean Camp Half-Blood shirt.

"You can come in now." She whispers loudly and he makes his way back inside.

Reyna slips under the covers sleep over takes her.

She bolts up into bed hitting her head in the same slab of wood and curses softly as another awful scream tears through the air.

It came from Nico.

She quickly walks over and sees his covers very ruffled, his breathing is coming in short quick breaths and he is dripping sweat.

"Nico wake up." Reyna calls.

He shifts more and more calling out for differently people softly.

"Nico please." She strains and in a flash she is on her back Nico straddling her a dagger to her throat.

She controls her breathing she looks up at him his eyes are extremely dark.

"Reyna." He breaths and drops the dagger and scramble to the other side of the cabin.

She rubs her neck and she looks to see Nico as far away as possible in the cabin. She silently walk over and crouches beside him.

"What was it about?" She says softly.
Avoiding the word nightmare.

"Tartarus you think about almost two years it would get easier." He scoffs, "It doesn't."

"I don't know what to say Tartarus is nothing anyone should ever have to go to." She pauses slightly, "You are very strong to be able to go through that alone, but you're not anymore you have people that care about you. I am one of them."

He stares at her with his endless dark eyes and sighs softly.

"I'll go if you want me to." She turns still kneeling but feels a cold hand wrap around hers.

"Please don't go." He says barely above a whisper.

"I promise I won't." Reyna said pulls her down.

Reyna was know resting between Nico legs both there legs outstretched in front of them. Her head rested against his chest listening to his steady heartbeat. Nico's head rested on top of hers. Reyna doesn't know if he feel asleep of not, but one thing for sure he never let go of her hand.
