Me and Nico walked for days in silence, we ate nothing but McDonald's and he refused to let me take watch.
I know I was new at the whole Demi god thing but I had a lot of experience being homeless. I knew my way around and how to hold my ground. He didn't seem to care.
I also meet his creepy ghost friend. Nico made us follow him around the maze to get to his "top secret location," he wanted to go to, but didn't want to tell me about.
I would've ditch him sooner if I knew my way out.
He was rude when he talked, sketchy, and was holding some kind of grudge against me. I just wanted him to accomplish whatever he wanted soon, without asking questions so I can leave.
Eventually we reached a ranch but the tunnel ended in a cattle guard and we couldn't find a way through.
Without warning Nico grabbed me and shadow traveled us through.
"Why are there red cows everywhere?"
"I don't know, it doesn't matter follow me." He said grabbing onto my arm.It was then when a two headed dog came charging at us, barking with a man following it.
"Heel, Orthus."
He looked at us and said "what are two children like yourselves doing wondering the maze?"
Before I could answer Nico said "we're here to make a deal with Geryon.""Ah follow me children, I'm Eurytion if you must know."
I was so confused, what we were doing here? and even more confused why everyone had weird names including the two headed dog.
We walked down a dirt path and the creepy dog walked really close to me. It was hot and I hated all the flies that were flying around.Nico seemed unbothered by everything as he walked ahead of me with his head up looking confident.
I, even though I towered over Nico, felt small and confused as I walked behind them glancing at everything weird around us.
We walked up a hill to where a big ranch house stood.
Eurytion finally spoke and said "Before you meet Mr. Geryon, you must know the rules."
This is the part where my trouble of authority figures came out and I looked at Nico like, can you believe this guy.Eurytion didn't seem to notice as he went on. "There will be no fighting, no drawing weapons, and don't make any comment about the boss's appearance."
"Why?" I asked, before he could answer a voice spoke out behind us.
"Welcome to Triple G ranch. "
I had to stop my self from laughing, I understood the name of the Ranch because he had three chest and his name starts with a G.
"Hello, I want to make a deal." Nico said."we'll see, and the girl?" Mr. Geryon asked.
"I'm just here as a plus one." I said putting up the peace sign.
"Ahh I see, well let's take a walk then," he said looking at Nico. "The girl can stay here on the porch for now with Orthus and Eurytion.
I was about to objectify, not wanting to be alone with a two headed dog and a stranger, but Nico walked away without even glancing back.
All I could do was turn to Eurytion, awkwardly smile and take a seat. The two headed dog wasted no time and jumped across my lap and snarled.
It wasn't long before Nico came back and they requested us to go inside.
"So did you get what you came for?"
"no, not yet," he answered. "apparently someone else arrived." He said looking annoyed.
"Well do you think we'll be out of the maze soon?"
his glare was enough to tell me no.
I had enough and was tempted to walk out and leave, I'd rather survive the maze on my own then be with a little kid who wanted to belittle me and had anger issues.
"Come on." He said and I followed him out."Geryon, I won't wait for-" He froze when he saw a group of teens and I did to.
There was a intimidating looking blond, a dude with black hair and green eyes, a half goat, and another cyclops.
I wasn't expecting Nico to take out his sword though.
Geryon snarled when he saw it, "Put that away Mr. di Angelo. I ain't gonna have my guests killing each other."
