Prologue
" Of all the things you've done, this is the most... Do you any inkling of an idea of how utter mad you are becoming "
" You're finally at a lost for words if you had to pause and think of ways to insult me. How unlike you."
" You of all people should know this."
" Can you honestly blame me. What you propose is utter madness."
" Well, Madness and Genius coincide quite well,"
"...Do you really care so little for your own well being."
"... Again I shall repeat. You of all people should know."
" ...Son..."
" Don't. I have thought long and hard since I crawled my way out of that abyss. No one can stop me from this. Not you, not the Olympians and most definitely not the Primordials themselves."
" ...Not even your sister.
"..."
" Not even for you're beloved..."
" It's because of them, that I have to...no, need to do this."
" Truly. For I assure you now, they will completely back my decision and will want to stop you from this madness."
" What they want is not what they need. And what they want is a dream that will forever remain as is."
" And what do they need."
" ...A future."
" Even at the cost of never seeing them again, be it living or dead."
"... Again, you should know my answer."
"..."
" If it's any consolation. I truly wished that there was another way. But we are running out of time. The realms are slowly being consumed by our enemy and each second I dawdle is another life, An innocent life, taken by those filthy heathens."
" But why you. Why must you correct our mistakes and failures.'
" Because I'm the only one who can do it."
"..."
"..."
"...Well, I...ever see you again, Nico."
"...Only...When the world has a need for me once more, And only then will we reunite, Lord Hades. My Father."
" Nico...my son."
