*** *** ***
Nico was back at the palace. It'd been two years. The war hadn't gotten any easier, and his life had only gotten harder.

It was obvious the Olympians were desperate. After the Ereban King, Nico's father, had obtained the weapon of the historical king Hades, they'd been decimating the Olympian and Atlantean forces. There was no way they'd win this war without heavy bloodshed and a miracle.

So they did the only thing they could.

They called for a cease fire, for a stop to the bloodshed, in return for the return of the Ereban princess, Hazel Levesque.

So here they were, meeting on the border. Nico is seeing faces he hasn't let himself dream about for what feels like years. He's changed; all the progress Will and his friends had made in the time they were with Nico had disappeared. He was the Ghost King again.

Will was, obviously, devastated after the loss of his family.

He'd been angry for a long time, but there was only so much you could do when you're angry at someone you can't do anything to.

So, after a while, his anger faded to bitter resentment, and his target moved to something more important.

Getting his boyfriend back.

Nico, hostage of the king, forced into this war that Will knew he didn't want to be a part of. Will would do anything to get him back, because he couldn't let King Hades take someone else from him. Not again.

Never again.
