A.N: It's so nice to be back! Even though, I haven't been gone long at all. I'm starting this approximately 5 hours after I posted the last chapter of Who Are You? This is to satisfy the needs of the only reviewer who reminded me about Nico di Angelo( how could I honestly forget him?) So I'd like to thank blue star 123 for reminding me!

Thus I start a new adventure( Sorry, I'm changing to 3rd person. But if I get enough reviews telling me not to I'll change back!):

Prologue:

Nico di Angelo liked the darkness. He really did. It was comforting to his senses, period. He felt better, he could see better, he could hear better. Everything about it just made him feel great, and it never failed to make him feel great. But there was a saying that Nico always remembered when he was in the dark, " All good things must come to an end." Nico really hated that phrase.

Nico also like shadow- traveling. It always shrouded him in darkness for periods of time, but unfortunately shadow- traveling didn't like him. It always made him tired and hungry for McDonalds. Not only that, it almost never took him to the place he actually wanted to go.

For example, Nico didn't want to go to the New Orleans graveyard; he specifically said, " New York, New York." and suddenly there he was face to face with a dog, " We need to talk, Nico."

" Anubis... We're not supposed to "talk" until this Thursday so I'll be leaving." He turned around and waved goodbye.

" Nico, wait!" The familiar girl's voice alarmed Nico, but he turned around reluctantly hoping that it wasn't who he thought it was, " Hazel? I promise on your grave if that's you..." He turned around to see his maternal sister, Hazel Levesque, glaring at him with her brown eyes, " You'll what?" She crossed her arms in a defiant way.

" You know you're not supposed to be out right now! You know I'm still trying to smooth things over with Reyna! If she finds out you snuck out, they'll never trust you!" But then he focused his anger on Anubis, " And what do you think you're doing bringing her here!? You know she can't leave that camp!"

Anubis backed up with his hands raised, " Nico, calm down. She's just having a blackout moment at that Roman camp you want her to stay in so much. She's here in her dreams, and as long as she asleep, she'll be here with us. Is that fine with you?"

Nico was still fuming from the fact that Hazel was okay with this, but as long as relations were kept with Camp Jupiter, everything was fine, " What would you like to talk about then?" Apparently, Anubis hadn't expected him to actually agree to talk because the death god started to shift his feet awkwardly like a nervous school yard kid.

" You understand that I have acquired a host right?"
" Yes. Walt Stone." Nico never liked small talk.
" It appears that said host has been...how do I say it...mind controlled."
Nico felt frustrated by the fact that a god let his host be stolen right out from under his nose, " You mean to tell me...you let your own host be stolen from you!?"

Anubis sighed and mumbled, " Yes..." Hazel looked at Anubis, mystified, " But you're a death " god." How did you let your host be stolen!?" The dog shifted shape into a human form. One that strangely looked a lot like Nico, " It's not like I let them take my host. I fought with it, but they had strength and brainpower in numbers. Snakes...I've never liked them."

Snakes, huh..." They didn't say anything to you did they? When they were trying to steal your body and all." Nico still found it funny that a god had his body stolen. " They only said this, ' We are many, we are one. Try and stop us and you will be done. Master desires this boy's body and he will acquire it one way or another. So I suggest you run back to your mother!' or something like that. Either way, I didn't listen to a word they said. I kept batting them away, but somehow some of them slipped past me towards Walt's soul and separated us."

Nico honestly didn't know what to make of it. The only snake he'd ever heard of that spat rhymes was the oracle, and he didn't think the oracle was powerful enough to overthrow an Egyptian god while he was in his host, " I don't know what to say Anubis...Did they say anything else? I mean rhyming snakes just draws a blank for me."

The god didn't visibly didn't like what Nico asked him, " They spoke one word that plagues three of the most dominant cultures of the Ancient Age: Nāga." Naga? Now I really don't know what's going on. Nico, indeed, was confused.

But something kept relaying in his head, " Wait, you said three of the most dominant cultures. I'm guessing one is Greek and another is Egyptian." Nico just realized what the other was and face-palmed himself because of it, " Please don't tell me the other is-"

" Roman." Anubis muttered dejectedly. Nico cursed under his breath. Not only was he in danger, but his new half- sister was, too. The world was just out to kill all of death's children! Hazel walked up to Nico, " You know we can always get help from the Roman Camp? "

" No, Hazel! They're not-" Hazel interrupted him, " They are a part of this! You heard what Anubis said, there is a curse on all of us. They have strength in numbers, too!" Nico knew she was right, but it would look bad for Hazel if as soon as she entered their camp they were faced with a crisis! Another rumor for children of Pluto to be bullied about.

But Nico just thought of a silver lining, " I know some people who can help us! And, Anubis, you know some people, too right!?" Anubis sighed, " If you're referring to Brooklyn House and Camp Half-Blood, they can't help us..." Anubis waved his hand and an image of Camp Half-Blood popped into view.

Nico could visibly see the dome that surrounded Camp Half-Blood, and that wasn't normal. And neither was the tumble of weather inside of the dome. One moment it was sunny. Then, it was storming, then snowing, etc.

Anubis zoomed in the view to an edge of the dome. Nico could see multiple campers attacking the dome, but their weapons were harmlessly glancing off of it, " What's going on!?" Anubis sadly answered, " The nāga have already made it to them before they even had a chance to be alarmed about the threat."

" What about Brooklyn House?" Anubis waved his hand again and an image of four people inside of a tattered room. One was heavily bandaged, and another was on her knees crying. But Nico considerably recognized the two other people, " Percy and Annabeth!?"

" Yes, they, luckily, recognized the nāga and have already killed a major one. " Nico was relieved at the news, but he thought of another question, " I would have figured that Brooklyn House was full of people with how highly you talk about them." Anubis sat down on a gravestone, " You remember when I said my host was stolen from me?"

" Yes..." Nico had a feeling he knew what Anubis was going to say next. " Well, Walt kind ofkidnappedallofCarterandSadie'strainees..." Nico knew Anubis tried to speed his words together so Nico couldn't understand him; he was used to it from campers that didn't want to talk to him.

" Ok, first, you let your host be stolen from you. Second, said host kidnaps some of our only hopes of defeating these naga. And finally-" Nico stopped. He looked at Hazel, " Anubis, do you think you can make a copy of her?"
" What!?" Anubis was confused.
" You know what you do whenever you're hear, but you're not here? How you split your soul so you can be in multiple places at the same time?"

" I don't know if I can do that, Nico. I mean it's different for a demigod than a god to have their soul split. Besides, I don't even think she'll agree with it-"

Hazel stepped up, " It depends on what Nico's thinking of." Nico smiled, " Can you do it, Anubis?"

Anubis sighed, " I suppose so..." He snapped his fingers, suddenly there was two of Hazel. " Oh, no! I'm waking up!" The original Hazel left while the copy stayed, " Cool!"

" You have the same composition as the original. You're just a portion of her soul. But seriously, Nico, what are you planning?" Anubis looked at Nico with the same eyes he always gets when people don't know what Nico's thinking.

Simple and plain, Nico said, " We're going to get your host back."

A.N: Oh, I enjoyed that so much! It makes me elated to think of ideas on what will happen next! I hope you all enjoyed this 3rd person POV. If I get enough reviews telling me to change back, I will, but to me this is much easier.

Thank you all for reading, and remember this is just the Prologue to the next story! Please review and tell me what you think!

Kawind OUT!
