PROLOGUE

NICO POV

I found myself staring at the giant ivory toes of the athena parthenos , searching for guidance, again. You see…well lets just start at the beginning. Thats a good place.

-When Nico first arrived at camp-

Nico POV

I had just arrived at camp halfblood. Chiron sent me with Grover so he could get me some s. We walked in and heard some bumping around behind a curtain.

"Hey Ember", Grover called out. "Need help?"

"No I-I think I got it," replied the girl (apparently Ember). A few seconds later the owner to the voice stumbled out with a box labled "rainbow projector". She set it down on a table then flicked it on. She then whipped around quickly.

Staring back at me was a pretty girl with long and dark wavy hair and a tilted flower crown laying on it. She had huge multicolored eyes and tan skin. I think she was about my age maybe a little younger.

"Nico Di' Angelo, meet Ember. Ember, Nico." I barely heard the satyr say this.

"Well welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Nico." Ember's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

She waved her hand and a wall of mist appeared onto which the video was projected. When i looked back at Ember she smiled and disappeared in a flash of colors. I suddenly didn't feel like such a loner.

-After Giant War-

Ember POV

I missed Nico. He had been one of my only friends at camp, until Bianca died and he left. I really wanted my friend back.

I knew he had been to Tartarus. I don't know how the camp's heroes, Percy and Annabeth survived together, but I couldn't even imagine how Nico survived alone.

I should probably introduce myself. I'm Ember. I don't want to tell you my last name. I'm 13. My mom is Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Sounds pretty girly girl, huh? Ugh. But it's pretty cool I guess. I can manipulate water and light, since they're the two elements of a rainbow. And I can become invisible my making myself the colors of my surroundings. I can also make an iris-message with or without rainbows. So yeah, pretty sweet.

I remember the first time I saw Nico after the war.

-Flashback-

I was on border patrol. I had to volunteer, of course, because hardly anyone knows i exist. I cross over to thalia's pine tree. I wish she was here because she's one of the only friends i have. I am completely lost in my thoughts until a cold finger taps my left shoulder. I whipped around, instinctively drew my dagger, and found myself face to face with a boy.

I backed away a little to get a better look at him, but my dagger is still raised. He looked to be about my age maybe a little older. He was wearing sneakers,jeans,a ripped t-shirt with a skull on it, an aviators jacket and a skull ring. All of it black. So was his hair and his eyes which have dark circles under them. There was a scepter and a stygian iron sword hanging from his belt.

"Ember?", the boy said, snapping me out of staring.

"Nico." I reply, restraining myself from throwing my arms around him.

"Long time no see, Ember."

I looked behind him and saw a giant statue, a girl with dark hair, and a satyr. Then i looked back at Nico.

No. No Ember. There is no way that six words and one look can make you fall for this son of Hades again. "I won't do it." I think to myself. And with that I walk toward the big house. But I know i'm lying to myself
