The Exiled Ghost King
Chapter 1: Prologue
"Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades, you have been convicted of treason against the gods. And seeing how you are a hero of Olympus we shall go easy on your punishment. Your punishment shall be exile from Earth." Zeus stated. "Hephaestus has created a ship that will head towards the closest galaxy in space, it will take you to the closest populated planet. And also the trip to the galaxy will take two to three thousand years so we are going to be putting you in a chryo stasis pod. Any last words before you are sent to the ship?" Zeus asked in a completely bored tone, probably wanting to get rid of the son of Hades as soon as possible.
As for Nico, he looked around the throne room with a mixture of emotions on his face the most prominent ones were hurt and betrayal. Nico didn't even know what he did wrong, he just remembers that he was celebrating at Camp Jupiter with the rest of the demigods after the Giant war, and then suddenly he was flashed too Olympus, with the gods saying that he is a traitor.
"Could you at least tell me where you got your evidence of me being a traitor from?" Nico asked incredulously.
"My Auger, Octavian, looked in the augaries and saw you cutting down hundreds of half bloods. And my Augers never lie." Apollo stated in a way to icy tone for Apollo, wait a minute, OCTAVIAN TOLD THEM THIS?! Nico thought furiously.
"AND YOU BELIEVED HIM?!" Nico shouted, "YOU BELIVED THAT SNIVELING POWER HUNGRY EGOTISTICAL BRAT KNOWN AS OCTAVIAN, WHO SAT ON HIS ASS DURING THE ENTIRE WAR, OVER SOMEONE WHO HAS HELPED SAVE OLYMPUS AND NEARLY DIED SAVING AT LEAST ONE OF YOU'RE CHILDREN EACH?!" And that was true, Octavion did nothing but sit on his ass, apparently reading the future to try and save us all, which by the way didn't help one tiny bit, while Nico saved at least one of each of the Olympians children from certain death, well all except any children of Apollo, unfortunately he couldn't get to them fast enough.
"Yes we do, because Apollo checked if Octavian was lying to us, and he stated that he was not." Athena stated, Nico looked at Apollo and saw him looking at him with a glare, and had a smug look on his face, oh gods, if this is about me not being able to save any of his children I swear I will kick his ass, god or not. Nico thought to himself, he was about to argue some more, but then decided against it. These were the gods after all, they are stubborn and barely see sense.
"Enough, with the questions. Hephaestus, I want you to take the boy and freeze him and then put him in the ship, understood?" Zeus asked, Hephaestus nodded, got of his throne and before Nico knew it they were both in his palace.
"So I guess, I'm going to have a little space adventure," Nico said trying to lighten the mood, but he failed miserably. Hephaestus looked at him with pity in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, son of Hades, for what is about to happen, I tried to help, cause I do owe ya for saving most of my children's lives, but all I can do is make the ride from earth to this next galaxy nice and smooth, and even that probably won't work." Hephaestus said in a sad tone, but then his eyes shone a little. "But they never said I couldn't prepare ya for what ever ya face out there. Wait here a second." He said as he walked into what looked like a workshop, after about two minutes he came back in, with a watch, pen, for some reason my silver skullring which Nico was sure he didn't ask to take, a pendant that's shaped like a guitar, and a black i-pod touch. I blinked in surprise.
"How is this stuff meant to help me?" Nico asked, and Hephaestus smirked at me.
"The watch here turns into a shield," he said as he slammed his hand on the watch and it turned into a shield with Hades's helm of darkness carved on it. "this pen here is just like Jackson's sword Riptide, it turns into a sword when you uncap it, and if you lose it, it will reappear in your pocket," he said as he uncapped the pen and a sword, three-feet of wicked sharp Stygian iron, black as a nightmare came from the pen form, Hephaestus capped the lid back on the pen and turned the shield back into a watch, "this pendant, put it around your neck with your camp beads" Hephaestus said as he gave me the guitar pendant, and I did as he said, "Now just lightly touch the pendant and see what happens." Nico raised an eyebrow, but did as he said, when he did there was a small flash of light and he had a red and black guitar in his hands, at this Nico raised both of his eyebrows while looking at Hephaestus.
"Um…I don't mean to be disrespectful, but why would I need a guitar?" Nico asked slightly confused, Hephaestus smiled at him knowingly.
"I know that you had a guitar in your cabin Nico, I just gave you that so you could entertain yourself once your outside the chryo pod," He stated, as Nico turned the guitar back into a pendant. And then he handed him the I-pod touch, "And that is just an ordinary I-pod, except for the fact that it is downloaded with the music that you like, and it will never run out of battery. Oh and here's your ring it turns into a Stygian iron knife" He said, as Nico put his ring on his finger on his right hand. Nico wasn't exactly used to someone giving him stuff, especially a god. He didn't know how to express how grateful he was, so he just bowed deeply to Hephaestus.
"I appreciate everything that you have given me, Lord Hephaestus." Nico stated.
"It's nothing, besides I owe you for helping me and Leo, take out one of those giants." Hephaestus stated. Then there was silence, Nico looked up and saw Hephaestus looking at him sorrowfully, which confused him slightly, before Nico could say anything Hephaestus raised his hand and touched Nico's forehead with his index finger, and Nico immediately blacked out. The last thought that went through his mind was. Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm being exiled…
Line break
Hephaestus sighed as he watched Nico black out, he didn't like this, Zeus is just being his usual self and is sending the son of Hades in exile because, well, because he's a son of Hades. Zeus doesn't really care if Nico is guilty or not, as long as he gets the opportunity to get rid of one of his brothers children then it's all fine.
Hephaestus picked up the body of Nico and brought him to one of his new Chryo chambers, where he will be frozen until someone finds him, he put him in the chamber and closed it, he walked over to a console and looked at the big red button, Hephaestus hesitated for a second, this isn't right, but then the fear of what Zeus would do to Hephaestus won over, so he clicked the big red button and froze Nico. Gods, I hope this doesn't come back and bite us all in the ass, Hephaestus thought to himself.
Hephaestus put his hand on the Chryo chamber and flashed out to the ship with it. He put the chryo chamber in the ship and strapped everything together to make the ride as safe as possible. And then he flashed back into the throne room where the Olympians were waiting.
"What took ya so long?" Asked Ares in a gruffly voice.
"You wouldn't understand the delicate procedure that is involved in putting him in a chryo sleep," Hephaestus lied, it's pretty simple to be honest especially for Ares when you've got to knock the person out.
"Enough, Hephaestus have you put him in the ship?" Zeus asked. As Hephaestus made his way to his throne
"Yes I have, the ship is ready for lift off, all I have to do is press this button." Hephaestus said as a red button appeared on the armrest of his throne.
"Very well then," Zeus said, as an iris message of the ships lift of, came into view. "You may commence." Zeus stated.
"Very well," And with that the he pressed the red button and the ship called, Chaos lifted off from Olympus. And is heading towards a galaxy far far away.
What no one seemed to notice was the fact that Hera (Being the evil bitch she is) had used some of her powers on the son of Hades, erasing his memory so he could not tell anyone about the Olympians, and put her family in danger.
Sorry but chapter 2 is going to be shit as well, I promise you that once we get to chapter 3 it will get much better.
Please Review.
