The sun shone inside the temple of light as Will was being prepared for the sacrifice to make him a priest. As soon as they put on the ceremonial clothing he knew it would be a long day.
He walked off he stage and stood still as the servants took off all of the ceremonial clothing. When they were done struggling to put his shirt back on he noticed that there was a man in black clothing standing in the corner, staring at him with a slight pink flush in his cheeks. He looked away when Will met his gaze.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my dressing room?" Will asked with a slight sound of amusement in his voice. He was curious who this stranger was and why he was there.
" I am Nico di Angelo, son of Hades and master guard. I am your guard and your servant. I am supposed to follow you everywhere. " He answered still not meeting Wills gaze.
" Who sent you?" Will asked.
" The Lords and Ladies " he said.
" Good. At least your not an assassin like last time."
Suddenly the door was opened and the Lords Jason and Perseus walked in with Piper and Annabeth, the Ladies.
"Priest Solace." They said as they bowed and curtsied.
" Lords and Ladies " He said as he returned with a bow so deeply that his long hair drifted on the tip of his boots for about six seconds.
" We asked your guard, who you seem to have met, to show you to your room. Which happens to be placed in the castle. Your guard is the best of the best, despite a few past problems in the past." Lord Jason said while he crossed his arms.
" Well we better not keep you for to long for you have to sleep or we will not have a priest." Lady Annabeth said.
Fifteen minutes later Will was walking through the streets to the castle, following Nico closely. He already knew where the castle was but his memory was rusty. He was almost dying with curiosity over what Jason had said about him earlier.
"Excuse me, Guard, may I ask what the lord was talking about earlier when he said you had a few things that you did wrong before?" Will asked casually when they got to the gates of the castle.
" No, priest. I am sorry for being so direct about it but no." He said casually hiding his face.
He may have hidden his face but I still saw that crimson flash in his cheeks. Will thought with a small curving of his lips.
Nico walked through the gate and into a courtyard filled to the brim with people wearing brightly colored clothing. He navigated through all the people and when one would try to jump on Will and beg for forgiveness, Nico would pull out a blade made of Stygian iron and set it to their throats. It would scare them out of their wits to see how he moved it so perfectly and with a flick of his wrist, how he could kill them.
It was sort of impressive except Nico's dark attitude was always clouding up the air around of him.
By the time that Will got to his room his feet were burning and he almost passed out except Nico caught him and laid him on his bed
