(A/N My attempt at a multi chaptered fic... Please tell me what you think)

I'm Nico di Angelo. Just thought I'd start at the beginning – introduction and all. I'm just your average neighbourhood son of Hades who has been badgered into telling everyone his story.

Before I begin, be warned - don't try any of this at home.

Seriously – I know it seems very cool to have godly powers and beat monsters up on a daily basis. The gods know I thought so when I first found out.

But when you end up on the streets of Berlin after shadow travelling there instead of to the bathroom as you originally planned, and find yourself having to run as fast as you can through a mall with a Lamia hot on your trail, believe me, it isn't so much fun any more.

They always only tell you about the perks of the job.
