Nico di Angelo was angry. Very angry.

That fish brain Percy Jackson had let his sister die. Then he told him just to play with a Mythomagic figure he gave him. The nerve!

Nico was edging for a fight. But the last time he tried that, Percy left him with two tidal waves heading towards him. The only way he could beat Percy was to find his demigod powers. But he didn't know who his godly parent was.

That was the day before it happened. He was camping out in the 32nd floor of the Empire State Building when something started glowing. It was a blue glowing skull Floating above his head. He knew this god from Mythomagic. Hades.

Nico left the Empire State Building when a grey cab pulled up. In side were 3 old ladies. But all three of them had no eyes except one who had one eye.

The one with the eye said, "Got a free ride for a Mr. di Angelo." "What?" Nico asked. "Divine order. Get in kid." Befuddled, Nico got in. After many near crashes, and bickering between the old ladies, they arrived. "Get out," they said in unison. He was in front of a big rock in Central Park. He got closer, touched it and was sucked in.

He found himself at the bank of a river that looked so polluted it made the Ganges River look like a mountain spring.

Someone tapped him on the back. Nico whirled around and saw a skeleton holding an M16 pointed at him. Before he could scream, something in his mind explained, Come, Lord Hades is eager to see you. I suggest you follow me. This is a real gun. Nico decide to follow him.

The skeleton led Nico to a black castle with gardens made of gems. In the throne room, Nico saw a scary sight. A man covering in armor made of bone was sitting on a throne of skulls.

"Welcome, son." He greeted.

"Lord Hades?" Nico asked.

"Yes. You have nothing to fear in my domain. I will keep you safe in the Underworld while the Furies teach you."

"Teach me what?"

"How to be a true son of Hades. My children have many powers."

"Like what?"

"We can squeeze in one lesson in today. Alecto will teach you."

Then Nico was standing on a plain with a weird looking thing that resembled a gargoyle. It had bat wings, claws, yellow fangs, and glowing eyes.

It said, "Hello Nico. I won't hurt you. I am one of Hades Furies, Alecto. I will teach you how to shadow travel today."

Alecto disappeared and two huge rocks sprung from the ground.

He heard Alecto's voice saying, "Stand in a shadow." He did. "Now, will you self to merge with the shadows and move to the other shadow."

He tried it than was surrounded by blackness and was moving a warp speed for a split second. Then Nico was at the other rock and was so tired, he couldn't think. "Well done," Alecto's voice said.

Nico didn't hear it. He was out cold.
