"Good Morning Nico! Rise and shine, Angel!" Percy said. He'd jump on his bed pulling the covers around him. The young Nephilim scowled hoping to find something to cover himself from that blinding light emitting in his windows but he was already caught by Percy. "Uh-uh! You have to get up, Nico. It's time for breakfast! We've got training to do afterwards." helping the young one to get off from his bed. Nico was light as a pillow, partly because he didn't have food for one hundred and thirty-five years. Jesus Christ that's way too long people. But let's just say that he wasn't starving for so long. "By the Angel Jackson! Get your hands away from mine!" he was pissed, grasping himself away from Percy but he wouldn't put up a good fight now won't he? Carrying the young Nephilim towards the bathroom and ordering him to take a shower. Nico didn't argue and do what he was told.
"Hurry up!" said a voice. "Chiron said we'll finally meet the Ancestral Shadowhunter. How cool is that?" another voice but similar to the first one. Percy step towards the door to find the owner of the voices; Travis and Connor Stoll. The brothers were quite a troublemaker but nevertheless, their family is one of the greatest Shadowhunters in the country. They were sent in the Institute by their father to learn manners and behave which is the opposite. At first, they were opposed by their father's decision but as time passes they're already felt at home. Percy sneer a grin waiting for Nico di Angelo to get out of the bathroom. Finally finished, the young one kicked Percy out of his room to get dressed. "But Nico I-" Slam! said the door. He sighed and decided to go downstairs as well. "Punk!" a woman's voice making him turn around ans saw Clarisse la Rue. She's wearing an orange shirt with an oversized camouflage vest, a military pedal pants with matching boots. Let's not forget her signature red bandanna wrapping her brunette hair. "Grumpy as always, Clarisse." Percy replied but she shrugged and continue to went downstairs. "So nice that pipsqueak tries to show up. Try not to train him as a lousy Shadowhunter, Jackson." with that she left already. He's already a great Shadowhunter. He just needs experience in holding weapons.
Nico was curious about his closet full of weird clothing in which he didn't encounter in the past. He ws confused if he should wear it or not but everyone was already expecting him to appear. There was already a set of clothes lying in his bedroom with a small parchment on it; Pick this up for you, Nico. Wear this when you get out of the bathroom -Percy. Rupling the paper, he threw it on his window lying beside the clothing. Putting the clothes on, he looked almost like the people around him. The black shirt was complimenting his olive skin, the pants were different having holes and stitches. He was getting trouble in putting on the shoes with a string attached to the holes around it. Everything around him was new which made him thinktat he was an invader. He doesn't belong in this time. He was supposed to be dead to many centuries ago but her sister saved him telling him that he had a mission to be fulfilled in the future. Everyone he loved, cherished and knew died already except for him. If I have a mission then I will definitely to fulfill it. Trying to figure out how to properly put the footwear on when someone knocked on his door. Startled, he saw a boy. A latino. He thought, the boy had a kinky hair, a white sleeve but was covered with dark stains ust like his brownish to black trousers clipped with back suspenders on it. "You must be Time Traveling kid?" he said. Nico didn't understand what he just said as he stared at the boy in front of him. He looked back but he wasn't at him but at how was he going to properly put the footwear.
"You don't know how to tie Converse?" he replied and Nico shook his head. The latino boy which Nico calls him kneeled down to him grabbing the laces of his footwear. "You take this lace into these holes in a crisscrossed way then when they're done you grabbed all the ends of both strings tie them together like a bow. See?" Showing how to do it, he asked Nico if he can do the other one. He did the other shoe putting he laces into the holes crisscrossed then tie both end into a one ribbon. "Muoy bien SeƱor" Latino boy applauded which Nico understood, feeling a little tense about complimenting him by other people. He wanted to say thank you but Latino boy disappeared which he couldn't even get his name.
In the dining hall, everyone was chattering about Nico. Percy was getting tense because still couldn't see the young Nephilim. Tapping his fingers continuously, a delicate hand pushed in his shoulder, turning his head he saw Piper McLean. Percy's bestfriend. She had a rough time coping with the training but nevertheless she's an expert towards knifes. Sitting beside Percy, she asked if something was bothering him. "Nico's a little late. He's supposed tbhe here already." "Maybe he was still getting trouble in putting clothes he'd just seen in his life" twirling his favorite Seraph Dagger, Katoptris in her fingers. She names all her favorite things including the dagger. Then it hit Percy. God! I forgot to teach him to wear converse! Quickly getting out of his chair but Nico was already here. Everyone's eyes were all on him and he didn't seem to get annoyed or anything. He was gorgeous and very cute in the black shirt and skinny jeans but he was disracted glancing towards his shoes which were perfectly tied. Percy took a deep breathing realizing that there's nothing to be worried about. The latino, Leo Valdez spoke and went towards him. "Hey dude! So glad you could make it. You should sit beside Percy since he was technically your guy." he smirked guiding him towards the empty beside Percy. The gossips are starting already. Percy thought but he shrugged and waited for their Head of the Institute, Chiron.
"As you may know that our new Nephilim, Nico di Angelo is not in our time-present. He lives for almost one hundred and thirty-five years but nevertheless he is our main key in destroying the evil threat among Shadowhunters." he took a sip in his drink before speaking again. "Valentine Morgenstern is also in the same time-present as Nico and is hunting him. Our main goal is to protect him and train him to become a proper Shadowhunter since he wasn't able to start it". Everyone agreed, started chattering about Nico as their center of attention. Percy could see the tension from his facial expression and he wasn't pleased about it. The Stoll Brothers regardless of what they just heard, stood up announcing that everyone should do the traditional 'Welcome to Long Island Institute' greeting. Nico was confused as to what is that? All the young ones grabbed their respective pens in their hands, faces were smirking that they all the same dirty look on their faces. "What in the Angel is going on? Perseus Jackson! Explain this at once!" With an irritated look glaring at him. Percy couldn't help but smile as well nd everyone was geting to him, pens uncapped ready to be used for a very long time. "Sorry Nico but this is traditional. Welcome to the Long Island Institute!" Chiron threw his cup in the air as the noise echoes in unison "All Hail to Angel Raziel!"
