Hazel:
So far hazel was having an amazing day. She had wandered the streets of new Rome with her boyfriend frank zhang, gone riding on arion and she had had a hot chocolate with her brother Nico Di Angelo. It was all great until she got the iris message from Percy. At first she was shocked because his skin was blue then he had explained what had happened she ran straight to her barracks to find frank. Soon later there was a full senate meeting. She explained to everyone what happened and they agreed that Frank, Hazel and Nico would all go. Hazel was just about to thank them when she noticed that Nico and Frank wernt there. Where were they? Her question was answered when Pixie ran in. Pixie was a member of the fith and a close friend of frank and hazel. "Nico. And. Frank. problem. Bad." she gasped. Oh no she thaught what had happened?
Hazel followed Pixie and she stopped abruply when she saw the boys. Her mind did a double take when she saw them. There were two very small boys that looked about five and three. They looked like Frank and Nico but it couldn't be them. Could it? The slightly taller one saw her and started running towards her screaming her name. The smaller one (Nico, hazel guessed) stayed where he was. It wasn't like he could go anywhere as a group of Venus girls were surrounding him cooing. He didn't look amused. When Frank reached her he started mumbling curses to the Venus kids that shouldn't come from a five year olds mouth. Once she rescued Nico from the Venus girls he starte to cry. Hazel didn't know what to do. She was awful with kids. Then thank the gods Reyna swooped in and picked up little Nico and rocked him folwards and back. His mind had been changed into a three year old a young one at that. Hazel remembered that Nico said that his sister babied him until he was seven. Brilliant. Then to add to her problems the Argo arrived. So much for her perfect day.
Once Reyna got Nico onto the Argo Hazel followed behind with Frank. Everyone was shocked with what had happened even more so than themselves. Nico was hiding behind Reyna like everyone was going to hurt him. It was adorable. Annabeth explained what had happened and told them the prophesy. "aided by a new friend, what does that mean?" asked Reyna.
"we think that it might be about Leo's other personality." replied Piper,
"yeah. Speaking of which where is he?" said Jason,
"oh my gods Nico is gone as well." Reyna practically screamed. Frank whimpered in Hazel's arms. Reyna could be pretty scary when she wanted to be. So for the next hour they were looking for Ash and little Nico. They eventually found the two of them in the mess hall both of them were asleep on the floor surrounded with sweet wrappers and pizza crusts. Hazel sighed, boys. It was weird however with Nico being so... Happy. She was glad that she would get to see her brother smile for once. It was a good feeling. They left the two boys in the hall with a blanket placed over them. They started to discuss where they were going Frank suggested going to Alaska because if you wanted to get away from the gods that was the place to go (it had seemed like the goo hadn't affected his mind nearly as much as it had Nico, Hazel had thought that it had something to do with the ages). Since Alaska was the best idea that they had they decided that was where they were going to start looking.
They were getting ready to get going when they heard an ear shattering scream from the mess hall. They all exchanged worried looks and ran straight there. When Hazel got in there she saw Nico huddled in the corner looking terrified an then she saw Leo. Oh gods, she thought he was writhing on the floor in pain looking ghostly pale. It wasn't a pleasant sight. Annabeth stepped forward with Nectar and Ambrosia in hand and forced it down Leo's throat. He considerably relaxed and looked over his sholder to see Nico. Leo shakily reached out his hand towards the small boy and Nico ran forward to his friend. Hazel sighed in relief that Nico wasn't too traumatised then made a silent vow to herself that the people who did this would pay.
