Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it.
-John Mayer
Some demigods are heroes. Some demigods are leaders. Some demigods are always there, protecting their friends.
Yes, some demigods are heroes.
But others are cursed to be the outcasts, held in shadows . Some demigods are cursed to be pushed to the side during the victory presentation for those few.
Some demigods walk alone.
And here, Nico di Angelo walks also.
He didn't always.
Once he had dreams of being the hero, the victor, looked up to and relied on.
Dreams that were crushed, obliterated, with a single sentence, heralding the death of his last real family, his only mother figure. The sentence that began Nico's inevitable downward spiral.
He is not the hero, the symbol of light and joy, the leader.
No, Nico di Angelo will always be the dark.
And he might just like it.
