Nico.

Nico ran and ran as fast as he could. His broken arm hanging, limp, at his side and still hurting like fire. He was closer to the mountain now, and as he got closer he saw that it looked like the storm was trying to destroy the mountain, because of the constant lighting strikes that hit it, and around it.

Tartarus looked like a scene from a horror movie except here there was no make-up and costumes. It and everything inside it was real.

He ran for a long time until he couldn't run anymore and, with a groan, collapsed on the ground. The reddish brown sand went into his eyes and mouth.

"I'm gonna die here.' He thought. Then suddenly something fell from the sky and landed right beside him. He turned his right to look at the strange object. It was a …gun?

"What's a gun doing here."

But it wasn't just any gun, it looked like a very old pistol, from the civil war or something like that. He picked it up and examined it. A beautiful wood and steel handgun with a six bullet ring and a long barrel. There was a note attached to the end of it.

Dear Nico, this gun will have one bullet every day, that bullet will kill any monster except the ancient ones. Try to survive, you're the only worthwhile child of the big three .Hades

Typical dad. He thought and he got up.

To tell the truth the note had given him hope, hope that he can survive this horrible pace.

Dear my viewers. I am so sorry I haven't updated. I started high school but that isn't really an excuse. So if you still follow this story I will be updating more often and if you're new welcome. I am truly sorry I haven't updated so long.
