Ah, Hi :)! Sorry For the late update. I was busy with my science project for the selection so didn't get the time and yeah, sorry again for the short chapter.

Reyna's POV

Nico? How could HE do that? First of all HE gave me a box with frog and now this? He is the most unfriendly and quite of all. He founds it fun to be with the dead than the living and he doesn't even talk much and have this creepy habit of standing silently in the dark and blending into the shadows. And sometimes it really scares me.

He was only playing by the request of others. He is cute and dashing so what?.

Its been many years since I have gone on a quest excluding The Athena Parthenon's one .

Today was the worst day of all.

First Mother claimed Ryan and now he is my brother every one know but I don't even talk to him .

"Reyna I am very proud of you" Bellona said with a smile. She had black hairs like me and dark brown eyes also like me. What type of mother she is? Never visited me and now she is saying that she is proud of me. " I offer you a quest." Quest what quest? I wanted to ask but I kept kneeling down as others. " You got to retrieve a diamond with whose power you can win any game whether it's a game of war or life but this diamond is my property so its not for you all but of course you and your mates will be rewarded. I say you take your brother and this son of Pluto because you will need someone to control death and as for Ryan I want to test him. And also I want it before 22nd November. Got it?"

"Ahhh but Goddess Bellona don't we need some prophecies?" Maybe first or second time Octavian has said something useful.

"I don't think so you have time to waste on some stupid prophecies. Anyway, go to New York and then join the Petal school and then after you get the map go according to it. Its already November 17th you should leave fast." Bellona said and disappeared.

Maybe I have said 1 or 2 things loud because then Nico said "You curse your own mother?"

"She had never ever visited me and now she is saying she is proud of me. And now she had ordered me a quest and I have to go with him." I pointed towards Ryan who also was stunned, "and aren't you feeling angry on her for assigning you a quest without your permission."

"Well, all gods are like that only. And I don't have any problem if it is related with the dead but yeah I do feel angry about that. And we have to leave tomorrow only." But just seemed angry but very angry but yes, he was controlling it.

So here I am now packing some of the weapons and extra clothes and getting ready for tomorrow's quest. I told Frank to manage everything for 4 to 5 days. I know Nico is not at all happy with this, he looks very angry and I have noticed, not that I wanted to notice, that he is becoming short tempered day by day after the war has ended, as if were less short tempered. Not that I care but still…

Nico's POV

What type of question was that? How can't I be angry when that stupid goddess just assigned me the quest without asking me? I was going back to the underworld to my father's palace best place for me. A child of Hades. Never accepted anywhere. No one's even make friends with me; I know that I also not make it easy. I don't belong anywhere except underworld. As I had said child of Hades/Pluto need to stay close to each other that's the only reason I ever come to Camp Jupiter. I am scary to others. And on one wants to know me.

Anyway I am currently packing my bag. I had put 2 extra stygian knifes and some extra clothes. I wonder whether Reyna will take her metal dogs with her or not though I know that they magically appears whenever she wants them to but I have noticed that she always keep them close to her, not that I wanted to notice but I notice many things about others, if I just stand in a dark corner doing nothing it doesn't mean that I can't see. During our quest to retrieve Athena Parthenon, Reyna didn't have her metal dogs with her, they appeared only when she rested, but otherwise she didn't call her dogs.

So tomorrow we are going to start our quest to find some stupid crystal of victory. And I am also pretty sure that I am not going to talk to either Reyna or Ryan straightly or even Talk to them because it were their mother who assigned me this idiot quest.

Next chapter they will start off for their quest.
