Nico's POV

My life sucked, what was I supposed to do? I hated Percy for not taking good enough care of Bianca. I hated my father. Why the stupid Hera did he have to be the 'oh so almighty' God of the Underworld?

Today, was supposed to be an ordinary day, maybe the odd shadow travel or two to another country, but other than that, ordinary. I was believing that until I woke up from my dream of Gaia, to find myself in my dad's bedroom. Yes, my father has a bedroom. I got up and slowly walked over to his throne room, I wasn't in much of a rush. I would either be told off for being too early or too late. "Nico! What took you so long!" I heard my father call from his throne.(See what I mean?) " Err... I had a dream about Gaia?" I said, unsure of whether it would help my situation. Apparently it did because I saw his face soften slightly. It then went back to its normal 'I am so fierce, Everyone bows down to me, I am so jealous of my brother' Frown. "Oh.. Well, It is still not good enough" he said, trying to show he was sorry. Notice the word tried, yeah he failed.

"Err, so why did you call me here... dad?" I asked awkwardly.

"Me what? No, Hecate needed you, not me!" He said, looking amused. My heart sank a little, I had thought that he had TRIED to like me. 'Pfft! You knew he would never do that!' I heard a smug voice whisper in my head. That voice was probably the reason for all my problems. The reason I had trusted Percy, the reason I thought my father hated me 'He hates you anyway!' (See?)

"Lady Hecate? You asked for me?" I asked as I walked over to her ever-changing figure.

"Nico, you may want to sit down, I have to tell you a story." She said. I felt like the way she said that, was a bit immature for a Goddess, but I did what she wanted. As I went to sit on the maroon marble floor, I felt something soft. I looked down and realised that a velvet chair had materialised beneath me. I tried to hide the surprise on my face and sat down properly. "You see, Nico, I, once, millennia ago blessed a number of mortals, with powers much like yours, but they would only be able to channel these powers through wands" She explained, at this point, thousands of questions were running through my mind, but I kept quiet, " These people, commonly known as Wizards, have created lives for themselves away from the regular mortals"

"Yes I understand." I said, trying as hard as I could not to burst out in laughter from the wierdness of the whole situation. "These, Wizards, are under threat by one of their own people. His name, as he has given himself, is 'Lord Voldemort' and he has risen again. When he first rose, he tried to murder an innocent baby boy, as there was a prophecy made, predicting Voldemort's defeat. There were two boys, who fitted the description, however, Voldemort only attacked one, the one who he thought held the most threat. When He tried to murder the boy, Harry Potter, it did not work, all it left was a lightning shaped scar on the boy's forehead. He killed the mother, and the father, but not the boy. Since then, Harry, has been living with his aunt and uncle, who I guess you could say didn't treat him very well."

I was trying to process all of this information at once. It didn't work. "Lady Hecate?"

"Yes?"

"Could you, umm, put all of this on paper, in Greek please? I can't really, umm, process this right now."

"Of course, my boy" She replied kindly, she reminded me of my mother, I felt my mother's arms wrap around me, warm, and smelling of lavender. I snapped back to reality and realised that I had been staring at Hecate's arms for at least two minutes. "Oh, thank you, sorry!" I mumbled awkwardly. I slowly backed away and went back the way I came. Eventually, I came to a halt and shadow-travelled back to my cabin at Camp Half-Blood.

I was greeted by my black bedsheets and wooden walls of my cabin. I walked over to my bed and threw myself onto the bed contemplating what I would have to be doing on this... Is this a quest?... I suppose it is... On this quest. I heard a low knock at the door. "What do you want!" I said, irritated. "Nico, it's Hazel." I heard the reply.

"Oh sorry. Come in!" I said. She entered slowly and sat down onto the bed. "Where were you earlier? Nico?" She asked.

"Oh... err... Dad took me to the underworld to see Hecate. She had a quest for me to complete. Look, Hazel, I'm going to have to leave camp. I... I don't know for how long, but expect it to be a long time. I don't want to face Percy again, after I, uh, confessed, so I figured you could tell hi- everyone for me? Oh, and remember to tell Will." I said, I mumbled the last part.

"What?" Hazel asked, with a slight smirk.

"I said. Remember to tell Will." I said, I could feel my cheeks going red, but I forced it back down, making sure that Hazel didn't see. She carried on smirking but came and gave me a hug. Eventually, I gave in and hugged back.
