Prologue
So… After the war with Gaea, I stayed at camp and everything went back to normal (well as normal as it can be for a demigod anyways) Right…? HAHAHA, NOPE! Just as I started to settle in, Dad hijacked my dream, sent me to a new school, and expected me to just blend in. ((Said I spend too much time alone and in the Underworld. Truuuue, but still... anyways, I'm getting off the main point...)) Yeah, sure, I'll just do that. *insert sarcasm here.* And if that's not enough, I found a relic of a different Underworld in one of the lockers and got mixed up with Egyptians and magicians… OH SO FUN! *scowls* Oh, but Will says I'm getting ahead of myself, which I guess I am… All the excitement started about a month after the war or so I think…
Chapter 1
(Nico's POV)
I walked through camp and looked around. There were still hints of destruction from the war, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. A cracked bench here, a crater there… Like I said, not too bad. Clean up went a lot faster this time thanks to our new Roman friends. It was late, certainly past curfew, but I wasn't very worried about the patrol Harpies. I simply used the shadows to cloak my presence and slip right past them. As I wandered down towards my cabin, I thought about how nice today had been. I spent most of it with Will Solace, either having him yell at me, or helping him in the infirmary… Either way, I didn't mind. Those handsome blue eyes always looking at me, the way he brushed his blonde hair aside and gentle curve of his lips as he smiled… But I'm getting off track again. (*blushes*) I arrived at my cabin and went inside, laying down. I rolled onto my side and stared out the window at the Athena Parthenon. "Hope she's happy" I mumbled to myself, remembering everything I had to go through just to get it to its current position atop Half-Blood Hill. A faint ache went through my arm as I remembered the claw marks I got from Lycaon. I sighed in irritation and tiredness before I closed my eyes, worn out from the day. As I drifted off, I ignored all the usual dreams and ghosts that call to me whenever I enter the dream world. Well… I tried to anyways, until one particularly powerful one pulled me in.
((Sorry the chapter is short, the rest will be longer I promise))
