Apollo to heal a broken Hades

Death upon arrival...

Wills P.O.V

If death was to ever make me anxious, now was the time. Walking into The DOA recording studios, knowing what awaited... It made me sick to the stomach. I signed up for this quest as an impulse decision with Nico, to support him, now, I was not so sure this was the right decision. Seeing all the dead, seeing them, begging for life in the underworld where now chaos ruled, I felt uneasy, my head suddenly heavy with it all. What was it that awaited me after death, was it... This.... Reduced to a life of begging. Perhaps... Perhaps if I succeeded in this mission, it will help me reach Elysium. Gods did I ever hope so.

Nico's P.O.V

I walked in as I always did, now, with death being my ruler, a scene like this didn't affect me, but Will, as I turned over, I couldn't say the same about him.
I walked over beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder, "Will, it's going to be okay, I'm here, they can't harm me, and therefore you." I wasn't so sure about that anymore, but it was worth a try.
"It's not that I'm afraid of." He whispered wearily.
"Then what is it."
"This." He pointed to the dead begging for the afterlife, and I understood what he meant.
"You said it yourself Will, you've killed with your bow, yes, but the amount of people you have saved, that makes you a hero. You've got a VIP ticket to Elysium with your name on it." I reassured him, using his own words against him.
Will nodded toward me, calming down just that little bit.

"A little help here." Delilah called to us, grabbing Shane's arm and trying to pull him through the door.
"I don't think I want to." He said, "it feels... Wrong."
"Your a child of hades for hades sake!" Delilah exclaimed, fed up. "Suck it up princess." With one final tug she managed to get him in, Shane's face radiating nothing more than uneasiness.
I rolled my eyes at their quarrelling, turning to face Charon, supposably, not to be confused with Chiron.
"Hi." I said putting on a fake smile.
"Nico, child of hades here. Remember me, daddy got really angry when you didn't let me through." I put a couple of Drachmas on his table, "get us through, and we're out of your way.
"Geez kid, deal with your issues and I'll let you through. I just got another pay rise, I don't need it being cancelled again."
"Excuse me!" I exclaimed, "what issues." He rolled his eyes, pointing over my shoulder. I turned around coming face to face with... Well.... Something I never expected to see in a million years.

"Master." They all chanted kneeling down in front of Shane. "How lucky we are to be in your presence."
"Master" over and over again, "how lucky we are to be in your presence." The dead all knelt down at his feet, Shane brushing off his body like they were bugs crawling all over his body.
"Get them away." He cried, stepping back, and backing himself into a wall.

Delilah and Will ran over to me, "uhhhh...." Will was as lost for words as I was.
"Brother! Why is Shane master, come one he's been a demigod for how long!" She sounded annoyed, I should have known, of course Delilah would have wanted to be master. I thought hard about her question though,
"That's a good question." I answered, a few questions never previously asked came to me. "Do we actually know his twelve. He looks at least Will and I's age, how have we never thought of this before!"
"Thought of what brother?"
"Who is Shane? He doesn't remember anything, he hit his head, he's a child of hades that we have never heard off..."
"Your not saying...." Delilah trailed off.
"I'm saying just that, we will clarify when we go down."
"Wait what are we saying!" Will was really out of the loop.
"We're saying that we may have just found the one whose claimed the underworld throne."
"Oh." Will said, looking as shocked as ever. "Crap, I was starting to like that guy." He proclaimed.
Delilah grabbed Shane's arm, dragging him off toward the entrance to the boat. "We need to go now Charon." She called out to him.
"Yes your highness, anything your highness, anything for a daughter of hades your highness." He went on sarcastically.
"Are you really being sarcastic?" Delilah questioned, raising a perfect eyebrow.
"Oh no." He shook his head, heading us in the direction of the entrance to the underworld.
