Prologue
Nico's POV
At first, the usual dreams clouded my mind: images of monsters and the gods. But then… the dream suddenly changed. I was in the Underworld in a dimly lit cave. Walking, or rather, floating forward, I noticed a bright light in the distance. I admit, my first thought was OMG! I see the bright white light at the end of the tunnel! But as I looked closer, I saw that the image was that of a girl, and a very beautiful one at that. She had thick, wavy, brown-black hair that reached down to her elbows. Long eyelashes framed her big, almond-shaped, closed eyes and her olive skin glowed. She looked to be around two inches shorted than me and around my age. The girl wore a plain purple and white short-sleeved t-shirt and denim shorts that were around three inches above her knees. She was also wearing Greek armor and brown cowgirl boots.
As I arrived near her, her eyes snapped open. They were a caramel chocolate color and seemed to hold many emotions.
"Who are you?" She asked in a musical voice. I gasped and tried to speak. Who was this girl? Was she a ghost?
"I'm Nico, son of Hades. Who are you? I-I don't think I've ever seen you before. And your life aura is still alive, so I don't think that you're a ghost," I stated. She gave me an up-down look.
"I don't know if I should trust you. And I don't know why I summoned you. I tried to summon someone else but you came. So it must be a sign of some sort…" She trailed off uncertainly. I was confused. What did she mean by summoning? And why wouldn't she be able to trust me? As these questions ran through my head, the girl lifted her head and began to talk.
"Nico, I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not dead, or at least I really hope that I'm not. Do you go to Camp Half Blood?" The words rushed out of her mouth as if she was running out of time. I nodded. As if reading my thoughts, she said,
"Well, I don't have much time. Long story short, I was in a lot of danger once, and three goddesses turned me into a… a nature object. I'm not sure what they transformed me into. I don't know why the goddesses had taken an interest in me, or why they worried about my safety. If someone doesn't find me soon, then my soul will disintegrate, along with my body and the nature object that the goddesses transformed me into. Also, my twin went missing, and I think that they might have transformed her also. Please, promise that you'll try to find me!" She pleaded, her eyes widening. I was about to nod, before I realized that the girl had never told me who she was.
"Who are you? And why should I help you?" I asked, my suspicion growing.
"I can't tell you right now. Not until you rescue me. I have to ask you to trust me. Please," She begged, desperation growing. I was still suspicious, but I refrained from saying anything else. She suddenly clutched my hand.
"Nico, I can't-hold-the-summons-much-longer," She grunted, her grip on my hand tightening. I probably did the most stupid thing then, promising to myself and to this mysterious girl that I would help her, no matter what it took.
"Fine, I'll save you," I said unwillingly.
"Oh, thank you!" She exclaimed, wrapping her arms around my neck. I could smell her flowery perfume and felt a necklace pressed against my chest. The girl walked backward and waved, before shattering into millions of little pieces, leaving her scent and her remaining words,
"Don't let me down Nico. I have faith in you."
I woke up, sweat pouring down my face. My dream replayed over and over in my head, until I had convinced myself that it wasn't real. Then, I felt something cold and hard against my neck.I looked down and saw an intricately woven necklace with the initials A and L interwoven. Huh, I thought. Maybe the dream was real. And that meant that I had a quest to go on.
