NICO
I'm standing in the middle of a dark, damp cave. Water drips in the distance somewhere. A deep red glow surrounds me.
'Hello?' I call out. I go to grab my sword, but it's not there. 'I'm dreaming.' I tell myself, 'this isn't real.'
I take a step forward, trying to figure out where I am, and who bought me here.
'What do you want?' I call, 'someone bought me here, so what do you want?'
And then something clicks. The dark walls. The red light. I've been here before. My throat closes up. I go limp.
I fall to my knees.
It takes me a moment before I can stand again. Because I have to check. I have to know. I have to see it for myself.
I walk, holding myself up against the cave wall. It's miles away. Miles and miles. But I see it.
The entrance to Tartarus. The doors of death. They're open.
