Chapter 2

Percy Jackson doesn't belong to me it belongs to Rick Riordan only the ideas mine.

Italy in 1939

Once I had became the seerI really did start to see things in my dream, I was able to see some wars that went on I saw how people evolved and how they managed to live their life's. I also saw Mt. Vesuvius explode and killing almost all of the Pompeiians. But other than that and a million people killing each other life seemed normal. Right now I'm in Venice looking at the sights and whenever people see me their terrified of me. But then again I haven't exactly been able to control when my eyes change from human to dragon so every time someone saw they would run away.

So I pretty much spend my time in the forest, I mean not everyone goes to the forest so I figured it be a good place to stay and hide from people. Even though I found it funny, I was a prince respected by his people, and a seer and now I'm living in the forest starving because now a day's people actually protect their animals. I was watching the river flow for a while before I heard rustling and I turned to see a boy sniffing and walking but once he saw me he froze. I was amazed, he was a little boy I would guess he should be six or seven but he looked so pale and sad. I got up and started walking towards him, he didn't back up or screamed he just stared at me, I bent down and started smelling him, I don't know why but it made him giggle. However, I could smell that he wasn't alright I could tell it was something about his heart.

You heart is broken I said and he frowned again and looked up at me.

"Yeah my mommy says if the doctors can't find someone with the same blood type as me then I'm going to sleep for a long time" he said and I wondered.

Don't either of your parents have the same blood type as you? I asked and he looked down.

"No, mommy says I have my grandfather's blood type but he died when I turned three," the boy says and looks back at me and smiled "But it's ok as long as my sister and mommy are ok I'll be happy" he said and I couldn't help but like the boy, he's keeping up a brave face for his family even though he is the one suffering.

You truly are brave son of Hades I said and he was confused.

"You know my daddy?" he asked and I nodded,

Your father has been kind to me young one, even after… I stopped and looked down not wanting to remember my failure with all his other children.

"Even after what?" he asked me and I shook my head.

Nothing, but the more important question is, why are you here shouldn't you be with your family? I asked him and he nodded.

"I know but my family doesn't let me out of their sit, I never get a moment to be by myself" he said while looking down. I nudged his side and he looked up at me.

Do not worry little one I'm sure they do it out of love, I have forgotten what it feels like to have a family I said looking back at the boy who was frowning.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring back bad memories" he said and I nudged him.

It's fine little one it was so long ago besides it's not so bad being by myself I told him and he still looked sad by the way my names Glacier what is yours? I asked and he looked up.

"Oh right sorry I forget my manners and mommy always says I have to have them," he said laughing "My name is Nico Di Angelo" he said smiling and I nodded.

Well I'm honored to meet you Nico, now where is your family I don't think they wouldn't leave you alone I said and he looked down. Before he said anything we heard yelling.

"Nico Where Are You!" a girl's voice shouted and Nico jumped and hugged my snout. Then I saw a girl run out and I saw that she had the same color eyes and same color hair, she was wearing a red and brown and she was painting but then again if you were looking for your brother who has a heart problem you would too. When she looked at him and saw he was hugging me she looked like she was going to have a heart attack of her own.

"Nico…please come this way" she said looking at me and Nico looked confused.

"Why, Glaciers nice and he's really friendly" Nico said and patted the side of my face.

"Nico, that things a dragon, you know what mama and papa said about monsters" she said and I growled at her, because seriously who likes being called a monster.

"Bianca, mama also said we shouldn't be mean so tell Glacier your sorry for calling him a monster" Nico said and I nuzzled his face as thanks and he giggled "Your welcome" he said. I looked at Bianca and she looked at the both of us before looking down.

"Forgive me Mr. Glacier I'm sorry" she said and I nodded as thanks. That's when I saw another woman coming out who looked like Bianca but much more mature she stopped for a moment and looked at me.

"Mommy this is Glacier, he's really nice" he said and his mother looked between us before nodding.

"Hello Glacier I'm Maria Di Angelo, these are my children Bianca and Nico, I hope they haven't caused you trouble" she said and I shook my head.

They have not and I can understand your daughters concern about me, being children of Hades and all I said and she seemed a little surprised.

"You know my boyfriend?" she asked and I nodded.

Yes, I have and we are good friends I said and she smiled.

"Then I guess I can trust you" she said and before I can say anything Nico hugged me.

"That means I can have a friend" he said and I nodded and Maria laughed while Bianca still looked worried about me I knew she would have to deal with at least for Nico's sake. And that is how I got introduced to the Di Angelo family. Over time Nico seemed to be getting worse up to the point where the doctors told him he should stay at the hospital or at home. Of course Nico being the stubborn child he was refused saying if he was going to sleep forever then he wanted to spend time with me as much as his family.

I didn't want to give him any trouble so I did the only thing I could do for him, I turned human. Of course they were surprised I could turn human, then again if you meet me and saw me as a Dragon then you would think I was pure dragon, right?

Nope.

Remember as the seer I can't really be noticeable so I was given the power to turn human so I could observe but now I was using it to make Nico's life a little easier. All I did was talk to him while he was lying in bed. I told him about the heroes I've seen and he seemed to like me telling him stories. One day after I finished telling him about Perseus one of the few heroes that lived he smiled.

"Percy" he said and I looked at him "Since you have to blend in your going to need a normal name…so what about Percy?" he asked weekly and I couldn't help how much Nico cared about me. I smiled,

"I love it" I told him and he smiled back.

"Ok then for this day forward your name will be Percy" he said laughing before coughing I sat on his bed and rubbed his back to help him out. After a little while he fell asleep, it was late so I knew Maria and Bianca were asleep, so I went downstairs to get some water and I heard crying in the kitchen I pecked in to see Maria crying.

"Maria are you alright?" I asked and she looked up at me and rubbed her face with a neckerchief.

"Glacier I didn't know you were still up" she said trying to fix herself. I sat down next to her,

"Is everything alright?" I asked her and she shook her head.

"No I just received word from the doctor that they have a heart that can work with Nico" she said and I didn't understand, isn't that good news for him but she beat me to it "But Nico's blood type is different, you see he has my father's blood type and only my brother has that blood type…so my baby's going to…" she couldn't finish and she started crying again and to be honest I didn't know what to do.

In all my years I've never let anyone warm their way into my heart but Nico somehow did, if blood was all they needed then perhaps I could help but usually with something like this well…

"Um Maria if I may?" I asked and she looked up "I may be able to help" I said and she sat up and I took a deep breath.

"You see Dragons don't exactly have a blood type so in a way I can give my blood to anyone" I said and before she could say anything I held my hand up "But in my world sharing blood is a big thing but it is useful, for example if Nico needed blood for any reason my blood can heal him and vice versa for me, also the point of fact well be connected" I said and she was confused.

"How so?" she asked and to be honest I really wish I could answer her,

"No idea, my mother never really told me all she said was I will know when the time came" I told her and she nodded. It was silent for a few minutes before Maria signed and looked back at me.

"Glacier, please do this for my son" she said and I looked down and started actually thinking about this. Out of every single person I could be bonded with why did it have to be a child of Hades I never had a good relationship with them. But something about Nico seemed different and it made me want to protect him. I signed one last time before nodded,

"Alright Maria, I'll do it" I said and she smiled and stud and hugged me.

"Thank you so much Glacier" she said and I hugged back hoping I won't regret this choice I'm making.

A couple of days later Maria told the doctor and the doctor made sure my blood was compatible with Nico's. Once they say it was they asked Maria once more if she was ok with the surgery once she said yes they got started. They drained what they needed for Nico from be and left to continue the surgery, Bianca fell asleep on Marias lap while we waited. After about four hours the doctor came out and Maria went to go talk to him which left Bianca and I. It was awkward to say the least,

"Thank you" she said and I looked at her "You know for saving my brother" she said and I stared at her for a second before smiling.

"Your welcome" I said and she nodded.

After a few minutes Maria came back and took us to Nico's room. She told us the surgery was a successes and that Nico will be back to his good old self within a couple of months. When we made it too his room he was perfectly asleep and resting Bianca and I took each side and just sat next to him and waited for him to get better. Nico woke up the next day, he was a little weak but he was able to talk to us a little. And true to the doctor's words after a few months Nico was back to being a hyperactive kid playing with people. I was just glad he was alright, of course true to my mother's word I became more affectionate with Nico and the same with him. I just loved that Nico was making more friends and he was even going out with his family more often, that in itself gave me time to take napes, hey what can I say I love my napes.

Anyway when Nico turned eight and a few months after out of no were Maria said they were leaving for America so they had to pack up soon. She said nothing about me and I knew Nico figured out because he sat on my lap and refused to move.

"Nico honey please go pack we leave in a few hours" she said and Nico shook his head.

"No I'm not going if Percy's not going" he claimed and Maria signed.

"Please baby I know this is a big change and we'll be moving from almost everything we knew but we can't take everything and I'm afraid Percy can't come with us" Maria said and Nico started crying and I hated seeing him cry. I looked at Maria who sighed and told her I'll handle it and she nodded and left to pack. I got Nico to stand up and got him to look at me. I wiped his eyes before smiling at him,

"Hey don't worry Nico I'm sure we'll see each other again soon" I tried reinsuring him but he still cried

"But I don't want you to leave me" he cried and I smiled at him and wiped the tears away.

"Ok Nico I promise you that I'll fine you, no matter where you are I will find you" I said and I saw a faint blush on his check.

"Y-you promise?" he asked and I nodded and kissed his forehead.

"I promise" I repeated and he smiled and nodded before kissing my cheek.

"I'm going to hold you to that and beside you still haven't told me why you have that" he said pointing to my tiara. I smiled at him and nodded,

"Another good reason" I said laughing and he joined in. I told him to go pack and he asked for help so I went with him upstairs. When a few hours were up Nico begged his mother if I could at least go with them to the port and she agreed to it. Nico and Bianca fell asleep on the ride there, I combed Nico's hair while waiting since I knew he liked it when I did that. I looked up at Maria to see her looking down at her hands.

"Is everything alright Maria?" I asked and she looked up and smiled and nodded.

"Yes I'm just a little worried for my children" she said and I looked at them both.

"Why?" I asked and her smile fell.

"Percy you know that every so often the Gods move from place to place?" she asked and I nodded "Well now they're in America and that also means monsters" she said looking down and I was confused.

"Then why would you go?" I asked and she smiled.

"Because Hades said he had a plan to protect the children and I can only hope he's right" she said and it was completely silent again.

I wanted to believe that Hades may have a way but I doubted it, demigod children of the Gods always have to go to a camp and even then they're not safe. I guess I would just have to ask Hades myself for the answer. When we finally got there I woke up Nico and Bianca and ushered them outside to get on the boat I said good bye to Bianca and Maria and I hugged Nico who was begging me to keep my promise and I promised I would keep it and with that they left. I watched as the ship left along with the Di Angelo family.

After a few days to myself I started missing Nico always talking to me even when I was trying to sleep, and trust me I hated it when people tried waking me up, the first time is nothing, the second time I will at least yell or hit you once and the third time well let's just say you'll wish you were dead. Sleep is a sacred thing and I would really like my eight hours. Anyway I decided to do something else so I turned back into a dragon and I decided to go to America so I can talk to Hades about this so call plan of his also it gives me an excuse to talk to Persephone. Honestly she always acts so motherly towards me.

To be honest the flight from Italy to America was long and meaningless but I still made it. I started thinking Maria was going to New York so that means that's where the Gods were at so that meant Hades was a little further west so I continued flying. Once there I saw a bunch of weird people doing a lot of weird stuff but then again their humans who am I to judge. I finally made it some were that ricked of death so I was guessing it was the entrance. I turned human again and I walked in, I saw a few people waiting and I saw a guy at the front desk and I knew that was Charon.

"Hello Charon" I said and he looked up and smiled.

"Oh hello Glacier what brings you to this humble studio?" he asked and I smiled.

"I was wondering if Hades was in, I need to talk to him" I told him and he nodded.

"Yes well it is fall so he's still here with Persephone but in a few days he has to go to New York for some reason" he said and I nodded.

"Thanks Charon" I said and tossed him a bag of drachma's.

"And this is why you're my favorite person" he said and I smiled "You know where the service entrance is right?" he asked and I nodded before walking to the service entrance. Once there I looked at the camera and the door beeped and I went in. I walked down the stairs until I finally made it to the underworld, I walked by the gates were I saw Cerberus guarding the door like he normally does.

"Hey boys how's it going?" I asked and all three heads turned to me and started smelling me and I laughed.

"Yes it's me I'm sorry I haven't visited you guys in a log while but I promise I'll visit a lot more" I said and they barked happily as I petted their heads and scratched behind their heads. I played with them for an hour before it was time to go.

"Sorry guys but I really should go see Hades but I'll come back sometime soon ok?" I asked and they nodded before I gave all three one last hug before I left them to guard duty and I went to Hades palace. Once inside I was greeted with a bear hug.

"Oh Glacier it's so good to see you again" Persephone said and I smiled and hugged her back.

"It's good to see you to Persephone" I said before letting her go. I looked up to see Hades smiling at me.

"Glacier" he said and I bowed.

"Hello Hades how are you?" I asked and he rolled his eyes and there was only one person I know who would make him annoyed more than his litter brother.

"PERSEPHONE!"

And that would be Demeter.

Demeter came out and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Um Mother your suffocating me" Persephone said and her mother let her go.

"I'm sorry dear but you know I worry whenever you're with, him" she said glaring at Hades who rolled his eyes again before turning to me.

"Forgive our guest Glacier she's a bit loud" he said and I smiled.

"Glacier?" Demeter asked before looking at me and I waved at her and she smiled "Glacier!" he said again and hugged me which I returned. When we separated she turned back to Hades.

"How come you didn't tell me were having a guessed!" she said and he signed.

"Well I would have if you hadn't shouted and tried to smother my wife" Hades said and Demeter glared.

"I think you mean smother my daughter" she said and here came the usual argument. Persephone signed before turning to me.

"So what brings you here Glacier?" she asked and I smiled.

"Well I was hoping I could talk to Hades alone but if he's busy I could come back later" I said and she shook her head.

"Nonsense," she said before turning to Hades and Demeter "HEY!" she yelled and they turned to her "Mother let's talk in the kitchen Glacier needs to talk with Hades" she said and they glared at each other one last time before Demeter fallowed her daughter to the kitchen. Hades turned to me,

"So what can I do for you?" he asked and I signed.

"Hades it's about the Di Angelo's" I said and he sighed.

"I figured as much, you've grown attached to them over the year, or more like my son" he said smiling and I could feel I was blushing.

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about Hades" I said and he laughed at me.

"Right," he said before frowning "Your wondering why I asked Maria to come to America" he said and I nodded.

He signed before telling me what was going one, that there was a prophecy issued that a child of the eldest Gods will either preserve or raze Olympus and so Zeus and Poseidon said they should put their children at camp half-blood but Hades refused so war broke loss and for some reason his children were losing and he didn't know why. I had a feeling it was my sister at it again but I couldn't be sure, he said if he did lose then Nico and Bianca would have to go to camp half-blood for their own safety. I wanted to say I understand but that would be a lie, but I knew how much these kind of things would make the Gods fearful so I guess I'll have to understand.

I ended up staying longer then I planned, Persephone insisted I have dinner and stay with them until I figure what I wanted to do, so I did. A few days later Hades was getting ready to go to New York and Persephone asked me to go with him.

"Why?" I asked and she smiled.

"Hades can't fool me Glacier I know he's leaving to meet one of his lovers so I want you to go as well seeing as you have fallen for his son" she said with venom in her voice and the beginning and teasing at the end and I blushed.

"W-what?! No I haven't" I clamed and she smiled at me,

"Oh don't play dumb Glacier don't think I haven't notice you day dreaming about him" she said giggling and my blush just deepened and she continued to laugh. At the end of it all I ended up going to New York with Hades. We said our good byes and we left for NY.

New York was a busy place and way to crowded for my liking but if people like living here then ok. We came up to a hotel were hades asked for Maria's room and then we went up to the room. He knocked on the door only to be opened by Maria who smiled and hugged him.

"Oh my love I didn't expect to see you so soon" she said before letting him go.

"Of course, I had to make sure you and the children were alright" he said and she smiled before looking my direction.

"Percy what on earth are you doing-" she didn't get to finish her sentence before the door busted open and like a six sense Nico tackled me to the ground.

"PERCY YOUR BACK I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Nico said and I laughed and rubbed his back.

"Oh come one Nico it's only been a few weeks" I said and he nuzzled my chest.

"That was much too long" he said and I laughed before I saw Bianca smiling on him,

"He's right you know he wouldn't stop crying even when we got off the boat" she said smiling and I smiled to.

"Oh really?" I asked and that's when Nico stud up and pouted at his sister.

"Bia I thought you promise not to tell him that!" He claimed and she laughed. I got up and we went inside the room will Maria and Hades were talking Bianca told me more about how Nico was without me and Nico looked like he was going to die of embarrassment but I loved how they interacted and I loved being able to talk to them again.

If only it would have lasted.

A year later Maria and Hades were talking in the lobby while I was watching Bianca and Nico playing take near the pillars. Apparently all of the other children of Hades are dead and so now Hades has to take the children to camp half-blood for safety. I would have said something but it was a family matter so I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything about it. After a few minutes Bianca sat down to take a break and Nico came towards me and tugged on my jacket.

"Percy can you play with us?" he asked and I smiled at him,

"Sure I have nothing better to do" I said and he smiled and dragged me along and I started playing with them. After a few minutes everything went south, Maria went upstairs to get something but when she did a ringing sound came to my ears and I stopped which caused Nico and Bianca to stop. I looked up and before I knew anything I tackled Nico and Bianca down and covered them as the hotel exploded.

I managed to get the debris off of us and I looked at the two who were coughing,

"Nico, Bianca are you two alright?" I asked and Bianca nodded while Nico was crying and nodded. I helped them up and I checked to see if they were alright. I looked around and I saw Hades kneeling.

"Bianca, Nico stay here" I said and they nodded, Bianca hugging Nico trying to get him to calm down. I walked over to Hades and I saw Maria's burned body in his arms as he cried. Before I could say anything I heard shouting,

"PERCY!" I knew that was Nico and before I could move Hades stopped me.

"Don't Glacier" he said and I turned to him "It's better if they don't remember any of this, or their mother…even you" he said and I couldn't believe what he was saying. He was going to wipe their memory of their mother and myself. A part of me wanted to argue with him about this but the other part knew he was right. It would be safer for them not to remember any of this.

I wanted to say things but I know it wasn't the right time or place. I saw a young woman come in and she and Hades talked I didn't bother staying, I had no business being there. I flew back to Las Angela's where I heard a screech and I knew that had to be Alecto and I heard children screaming and I recognized them anywhere. I ran up until I was at the entrance to the studio where I froze immediately. Right in front of the studio wasn't only the Di Angelo's and Alecto but my sister was there as well.

I knew I had to act quickly, Alecto was badly wounded and the Di Angelo's didn't know how to fight so I turned back into a dragon (and fair warning for those that think it's easy it's not it's a real pain in the butt) and I tackled to the ground.

"Percy!" I heard Nico and Bianca shout.

Well, well if it isn't my big brother finally showing up she said and I growled at her.

What do you want sister, don't you already have enough souls! I said and she laughed.

Oh I wish but a few died of an infection, sickness, getting themselves killed. The list goes on so unfortunately I need two more and as luck would have it she said and turned towards Nico and Bianca There are two right here. She finished and I growled,

Over my dead body I said and she laughed.

I can orange that she said and we began fighting. I didn't know if I was going to win or not but what I did know is that I feel so sorry for the guy who has to fix this mess. At some point I managed to knock her out for a few minutes so I turned to the three.

Alecto go finish what Hades wanted to do! I said and she nodded and started dragging Nico and Bianca away.

"No! let me go!" Nico shouted breaking free and hugging me.

Nico…please you must go I said and he shook his head.

"No I don't want to forget you" he said crying and I knew this was going to be a bad idea but at this point I didn't care. I turned back into a human and wiped the tears away,

"Nico it's the best way to keep you safe and…I rather you forget who I am than to die" I said and he cried harder.

"B-but I don't want to forget!" he said and I turned to see the rocks moving so I was guess my sister was getting up. I knew it was probable a bad idea but I took out a purple gem I've always had and gave it to him.

"You may not remember who gave this to you but remember this Nico," I said and touched his cheek "I care for you so much and I will do anything to protect you, I love you don't ever forget that" I said and kissed his cheek and he hugged me.

"Promise me we'll at least meet again, please" he begged and I smiled.

"Always" I said before wiping his tears away and gave him to Alecto.

"Now go, before she wakes up" I told her and she nodded dragging the Di Angelo's away, probable for the last time I'll ever see them.

I turned to face my sister and to my surprise she was human. She looked just like me except you know a girl, then again we're twins so that's probably why.

"I can't believe you would risk your life for a brat" she said and I looked down.

"Well I happen to love that brat so, yeah I'm an idiot," I said but frowned again "But I still can't let you go inside" I said and she growled

"We'll see" she said and we began fighting again.

This time instead of her teeth being poisoned it was her nails and trust me I learned fast. The fight when on forever and at the end I brock her arm and she scratched my eye (and yes it's a lot worse than it sound) she laughed.

"Oh brother you have only delayed the inimitable, one day I will see those two brats again and I will kill them and next time you won't be around to save them" she said and turned to her dragon form and flew off. I would have fallowed her if not for the point of fact I felt dizzy and I fell unconscious.

So sorry the fight scene was terrible and this most likely will be the last long chapter I will post but then again plans change so watch out for that. Hope you all enjoyed this and hope you will continue to like this story.
