p class="p1"span class="s1"Will was riding a train on his way back to Camp Half Blood in New York. He had got to visit his mother for a few hours. The boy didn't like to say there for very long.

p class="p1"span class="s1"It was around two thirty in the afternoon, with the sun shining brightly in the sky. Even though his father was a powerless mortal, he had been reassured things would still go on accordingly with the sun thanks to all the other Sun Gods in the world. The fact that there were more than two pantheons of Gods was more than enough to make Will want to cry in a corner. It also prompted him to wonder how many people in the world were actually mortals./span/p

p class="p1"span class="s1""Hey. I just got out of the station." Will class="Apple-converted-space" /span"Thought I let you know. So, what are you doing?" Nico paused for a beat before answering.

p class="p2" /p
p class="p1"span class="s1""Don't worry. I'm just meeting up with a friend." Nico assured. "He's from Brooklyn but had something to do here in New York, so I thought I'd go say hi."span class="Apple-converted-space" /span/span/p

p class="p1"span class="s1""A friend?" Will asked as he felt a pang of jealousy hit. He could hear the Son of Hades smirking on the other end. "How about you come over and we can head to camp together?" Will agreed and headed over to the grave yard meet this 'friend'./span/p
