The Green Sky
"What the fuck!?"
Nico di Angelo tried to shadow travel away, but it didn't work. He tried it a second time, a third time, a fourth time… But each effort only made him dizzier.
Shaking his wet hair out of his eyes, he took in his surroundings.
A huge castle loomed out in the mist and rain. At first, he thought he saw a sign saying: 'Dangerous. Do not enter.' on it, but he blinked and the sign was gone.
A note fluttered down under a big, gnarled tree. Nico walked over, purely out of curiosity. Just as he bent down…
THWACK!
Nico spun around just in time to be hit in the face by a…
Branch! Him, the King of Ghosts, being attacked by a mere tree!
Oh well…Of all trees, why did the note have to land under this one?
After chopping off several branches, Nico's sword accidentally jabbed a spot on the tree and it immediately became still. Cautiously, Nico prodded a branch, just to make sure.
Nothing.
Picking up the note that he had gone through the tree for, he hurried away from the tree. He had a feeling that its paralyzed state won't last forever.
Sure enough, when he was about twenty meters away, the tree's branches started flailing wildly again.
Opening it, he smoothed it out and tried to read it.
Nico,
There is one particular wizard that has defied my faithful servant Thanatos for a long time. He was supposed to die about fourteen years ago, but I had no one that I trusted enough to destroy him then. However, now that I have you, I can finally destroy him! Remind me to call a day off in the Underworld when we have finally finished him off. I hate that paperwork! Oh, and you can help me in designing new punishments reserved just for him.
Oops. Off topic. Right, now I want you to attend Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I know that you have not an ounce of magic in you, but Hecate has agreed that you can be gifted magic for the time being. But my jealous brothers insisted that their children will go with you, since they are scared that you have too much power, which I highly doubt. You can also help the Chosen One to finish him off. Come to think of it, you better work with him. With only your abilities, you will take forever to finish him off.
You will find your things arriving with Percy Jackson, and books containing information about this world and reading lenses (for your dyslexia) will come with Thalia Grace. The headmaster knows about you.
Good luck and don't get killed.-Hades
Nico crumpled the note in his fist. After the Titan War, Hades still acted like Nico was a useless breathing lump. His attitude had improved, but only slightly.
But the thought of Percy and Thalia arriving cheered him up. But when would they come?
Right on cue, a figure fell out of the sky.
Thalia screamed as she hurtled to the ground. She dimly felt a backpack that certainly hadn't been there before on her shoulders, but she was too busy screaming to care. Thanks to her ADHD, she noticed many things that weren't really that important. For one, the sky was green. Yes, green. She also noticed that there was someone right under her. And there was a bird pooping. Thankfully, the shit missed her. And… was that a flying broomstick?
How did she end up here?
She was supposed to be safely munching on hamburgers with the Hunters after they had finally hunted down a beautiful white stag that had eluded them for two years. They went to McDonalds and bought a set of fast food each and were raising their Pepsis' and suddenly here she was.
Concentrate! She told herself.
Ten meters from the dirt, her fall slowed and finally came to a stop.
Getting up, she looked for the figure she saw just now. Maybe he would know where in Hades was this. Looking around, she spotted the figure at a lake.
'Hey, do you know where is-'Thalia was stunned when the boy turned to face her. 'Nico di Angelo?'
Nico nodded.' Who else wears an aviator jacket, has black eyes, a Stygian iron sword and has a death aura?'
Thalia frowned.' Death aura? Come on, Nico, we're just kidding when we call you Death Breath.' She was about to go on if not for Percy Jackson's head protruding out of the water where it certainly hadn't been there a moment before.
Percy was having a nice day. Swimming with Annabeth, watching a movie with Grover, and he was about to eat some blue chocolate chip cookies when he ended up in a lake that had mermaids, a ghost and a giant squid. Wait until Nico hears about the ghost.
He emerged from the lake and was staring at the green sky curiously when he felt a backpack on his shoulders and two figures staring at him from the bank. Swimming over, he recognized one of them as Thalia Grace. The other had his face shrouded in shadow and only when he got closer, he saw the figure as Nico di Angelo.
'Hey, guys!' he said brightly before realizing something was wrong. Nico looked even gloomier than usual and Thalia had a troubled look on her face.
'Hogwarts… Darn it… Even Annabeth haven't heard of it before or she'd be ranting on its structure and stuff. Nico, are you sure that your dad said witchcraft and wizardry?'
'For the third time, yes.' Nico replied without even looking at her.
Trying to lighten the atmosphere, Percy said, 'Jeez, my swim didn't take that long, did it?'
Nico sighed, 'Yes, it did.' He thrust a note into Percy's hand, saying that it will explain most of what is happening now, and grabbed the two backpacks and started looking through it.
Percy read the note and felt anger boiling. Even if Nico got too powerful, he won't destroy the gods! And throwing the three of them into an unknown world like this…Not cool. And there was the matter of Hades treating Nico like rubbish. He was so going to have a word with Hades when they got home. If they got home.
'Well, let's go to the castle and talk to this headmaster.' Percy suggested.
All of them agreed and they set off towards the castle under the green sky.
