CHAPTER 1 – NICO AND HIS DARK MATERIALS

It has been two years since I last saw Luke, who stabbed himself to kill Kronos, and my relationship with Annabeth has ended.

I am now 18 and I'm just staying at a boarding school, and I'm really unlucky because my roommate is a mind-reader. He's a son of Athena, and I never knew that the children of Athena could read minds. I would believe he could read minds if he's a son of Hecate. Anyway, he's really important because he's the only friend I have right now. Grover is on his own protecting the wild, Tyson is on my Dad's kingdom underwater forging his way to success, and Elizabeth Dare is in London with her family. Another problem, Nico is giving me some hints about his feelings for me, and right now, he could just pop out of nowhere and steal another kiss.

"Who will steal a kiss from you? Are you talking about me?" suspected my mind-reading roommate Sean, who just happened to visit Camp Half-Blood.
"Oh, Sean, you're here, please don't read my mind, you're invading on my privacy and I'm starting to hate it." I told him
"By the way, while I was at camp, Hermes showed up, and he told me to give this to you, he said you know the right thing to do with it." He handed me a glowing ball, the size of a billiard ball, but looks more fragile than a snow globe.

I stared at it, and out of the blue, I just started to think about Luke.

"Who's Luke? I never heard your mind talk about him." Sean did it again
"Man! Please stop doing that!" I yelled at him
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, I'll be heading out, continue what you're thinking about." he said as he headed out of the room.

I stared at the ball again, what am I supposed to do with it? I don't know. Why did Hermes give this ball to me, and why am I thinking of Luke?

I read the encrypted Greek text on the ball, and it says, "This magical ball gives a second chance to anyone, a second life that could change something wrong." Luke? But why does it have to be me? Does Hermes know something that I don't?

I took a golden drachma from my blue backpack, and tossed it in the bathtub, "Camp Half Blood, to Blackjack." I said. The rainbow showed Blackjack who was eating some grass at the fields nearby Cabin 3.

"Blackjack!" I called
"Hey master! What's up?" he said – in his mind
"I need your help." I told him
"Where are you?" he asked
"I'm in Richmond." I answered
"Okay, but it would take me a really long time to get there, is that okay?" he asked, then suddenly, I heard a *POOF* and then there was Nico, hair still messy, but grew a lot taller, and leaner, standing next to me.

"Hey Percy, I can help you. We can shadow travel." he told me
"In exchange of what?" For sure he wants something in exchange of his service.
"Nothing. Honest." he told me.
"Okay, come on, let's do it." I hope he's telling the truth, because right now, I'm just really, really puzzled about the situation.
"Hop on my back, and I'll give you a piggy-back ride." said Nico
"You can't carry me." I told him
"Yes I can." he insisted, and he held my ass as I climbed his back
"Cling on tight, and why are you so hard?" he asked
"Hey, you're not a mind reader too are you?" I asked him nervously, he might think that I like him, "And I'm not hard!"
"Yes you are. I can feel it on my back, but don't worry, I'm loving it." said Nico, and we started shadow travelling, from wall to another wall. We suddenly stopped at this very beautiful mansion, which seemed a little dark.

"What are we doing here?" asked Percy
"You had me exhausted, you never told me where we're going." said Nico
"Why didn't you ask me then?" I whined
"Well, you're too late, and I'm too late, so it's both our fault. I have to rest." said Nico
"But I have to get to Mt. Olympus now!" I yelled at him
"Give me something to drink!" he said
"Do you own this place, where's the kitchen?"
"This house has been abandoned, here's nothing here other than me, and some of the things I own." he said with a smile on his face
"Then why didn't you… Oh never mind, where are you going to drink? I have nothing." I told him
"Yes you have something." he said
"What, you wanna drink my saliva?" I asked him annoyingly
"I want something better from you." he then said coming closer
"What? Nico, whatever you're thinking, stop thinking about it." I told him
"Do you want to get to Mount Olympus or not?" he then asked me like he was challenging me, and it came to me, I can't do anything, so I have to give what he wants
"Okay, if that will give you your peace of mind, let's get this over with." I gave up.

He went closer to me, removed my belt, and then unzipped my pants. Then the worst thing has happened, my dick is really hard now. He pulled down my pants, along with my underwear, and freed my really hard erection.

"I never thought it would be this hard. But don't worry, I'll only need the first release, and then we'll leave." he told me, and then he started sucking on my dick.

"Faster man! I really need to talk to Hermes." I told him
"Okay, you're so delicious." he commented while sucking, and as he sucked deeper, I felt the spasms, and then I finally released it. I can't believe what he did, he licked every drop of it, and I thought he was kidding about swallowing it, but he did.

"Satisfied now?" I asked him
"Yeah." he answered while licking the semen left on his lips
"Now I'm the one exhausted." I told him
"Do you consider drinking my cum then?" he asked me
"I don't, let's go now. I'll never do such thing." I yelled at him
"Let's go then, hop on my back." he said, and in just a blink of an eye, we were in Mount Olympus.

As we entered the halls, Hermes grew smaller and I bowed to him.

"Why did you give it to me?" I asked him
"I knew you would come here to ask that, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this but Luke always wanted to tell you something, but he can't because of Kronos." Hermes said, which made me really curious, and stop for a moment.

"What is it then? Tell me." I said impatiently. I really felt worried, and somehow excited. What does Luke want? How I wish he's still alive right now.
