"You're leaving." It wasn't a question. Nico turned around a looked at Percy. His grip on his bag tightened." Yes, I'm leaving," Nico confirmed. "I really don't belong here, and my father has something he wants me to do." Percy looked sad. "I thought we were friends though." "We are," Nico said quickly, "You're a really great friend nothing will change that, but I just want to do something for my dad, and travel around. If you ever need anything just iris message me. I'm not sure you will see me, but I will try to help you." Percy walked up to Nico and hugged him." I'm going to miss you" he mumbled into his curls. Nico stumbled and blushed. "I will too," he whispered into Percy's ear, tightening his arms around Percy's waist. "But now I have to go." Nico walked away from Percy. "Bye," he said smiling a little. Then he shadow traveled away. Percy looked at the spot where Nico was last. "Bye" He said into the open air. Taking one last look around, he too left.
