A few weeks after the war Nico was passed out on the floor of the throne room in the Underworld palace. He woke up to the sound of Persephone, his step mother, yelling at Hades about how Nico was so lazy and all he ever did was sleep.

"The boys tired. He's mortal and fought Kronos army." Hades said

"Exactly he should be out playing with other kids. Doing mortal stuff." she responded

"He's fine." Hades responded

Nico was tired of hearing his dad and step mother have this same argument every day, he was just tired in general. See his 'friends' at Camp Half Blood keep asking him to pass on messages to the demigods that died in the second Titan War. It was a lot of work shadow traveling back and forth between the world of the dead and the land of the living delivering messages. How did Hermes do it? People always have some message they want delivered.

~Messages...

Tell me when Clarisse and Chris start dating. Oh and take pictures of them. -Silena Beauregard

The taking pictures part just seems weird. Why does she need a picture of them? What does she plan on doing with the picture? She must be a daughter of Aphrodite.

Tell [everyone] I'm sorry. -Luke Castellan

Luke always found someone new to apologies to. If it wasn't one of his brothers it was Thalia, Annabeth or some other friend. Nico just wanted to yell at him get over it she, Thalia, is never going to forgive you.

Tell Pollux hi. -Castor

And that's just from the dead, the living also needed messages to be sent.

~back to the throne room.

"Well I have a great idea," Persephone said "We send the boy to mortal school."

"My so-" Hades began before Nico yelled

"SCHOOL?!"

"Yes, school will be good for Nico." Persephone said as if Hades and not Nico had made the comment.

"No, you just don't want me around!" the boy yelled ignoring the fact that he had been ignored.

"If I didn't want you around would I have enrolled you at Briarwood in Westchester?"

"NO! That sounds like the school those Aphrodite boys attend."

"Great then you'll already have some friends."

Hades made a face "fine the boy can go."

"DAAAAAAAADDDDDD!" Nico yelled frustrated

"This conversation is done." Hades said as he walked out of the room

"Err actually we have to discuss his uniform."

"WHAT!" Nico yelled

"It's a joke Briarwood doesn't have uniform." Persephone said laughing.

"Not funny" Nico said annoyed just what he needed to attend some prissy rich boy school in Westchester as if he didn't have enough to do.
