Hello fellow readers. Thank you so much for sticking with my story! I'm very grateful for all of you that are still with me, because seriously, you and I both now that I suck at writing! But I enjoy it and your reviews are Amazhang! Continue reading. :D

"Nico, wait." He reached out and grabbed my wrist. I winced at the sudden shock of pain and he let go. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I shook my head, surprised to feel the tears behind my eyes. I blinked rapidly, determined not to let him see me cry. Why was I so weak all of a sudden? I hated being vulnerable. "Nico…wait." He said gently. I turned to look at him and his expression softened. I glared at him.

"What? I don't care what you have to say. I'm gay." I walked faster, not willing for him to see the hurt and longing in my eyes. He jogged to catch up with me and stood in my way. I forced myself to meet his eyes. "Nico…" he trailed of and wiped a tear of my cheek. I wanted to kiss him, I realized with a shock.

"Nico, I love you as a brother." He said softly, searching my eyes intently.

My heart fell. I felt a tremendous pain deep inside of me. Of course, I thought grimly, he loved Annabeth. I looked downwards and nodded, my jaw clenched. I sighed. I looked up at him. His eyes were full of concern and tenderness. I bit my lip and walked around him.

"We should keep walking." I said over my shoulder.

Percy POV

I watched as he walked away. That was why he kept avoiding me. I thought he hated me. I'm sure he does now. Another friend I had hurt. I thought grimly. I looked back at Sadie and carter who looked shocked, they were staring past him and Percy got a rising sense of dread. He turned to see Nico staring at a man dressed in white robes, his skin was completely blue and he shimmered and blinked out of sight repeatedly.

"Osiris?" Carter stuttered in shock.

"Is that you, father?" Sadie exclaimed at the same time.

I uncapped Riptide and stepped back warily. The man smiled warmly at Sadie and Carter then turned serious and looked at us. "Children, I have come to warn you." Nico's face was deathly pale and he looked horrified. "Who are you?" I blurted, shocked. Why was he here? Why did he have blue skin? I was jealous.

"I am Osiris." He looked at me as if I should recognize his name. I stared at him blankly. I wish Annabeth were here.

Sadie smirked. "I feel ya, Perce." She nudged Carter.

"Oh." Carter looked at me and his eyes brightened. He reminded me of Annabeth whenever I asked her a question. "He is the Egyptian god of the underworld." I frowned. "What?" The god, Osiris sighed and looked at us. "I have a message to you; we have placed the sickness upon Percy Jackson so that he was brought here because it is the only place where the gods will not sense my presence."

"The gods are raging against each other causing chaos and destruction to the mortal world. The Greeks and Romans are using all within their power to keep us from winning. We have a plan since both sides are immortal; the winner of the war will be those that defeat each other's forces."

He looked grimly at us. "That proves, Magicians of Egypt against you Demigods."

His eyes were full of sorrow as he delivered the news. I was filled with a rising sense of dread. This couldn't be real; we were forced to turn against each other. I glanced at Carter who seemed to be having the same thoughts. Osiris image seemed to flicker and his face contorted in pain.

"I haven't got much time left." He turned towards Nico. "Nico Di Angelo, you will soon have to make a difficult decision. Remember who the true enemy is." Nico looked troubled and twisted his ring awkwardly.

"Carter," his voice was heavy with sadness. "I know it is too much to ask of a mere child, but you will have to channel the power of Horus yet again to win the battle, you will lead all of the magicians into war." He finished that with a tremendous amount of sadness and pain and Carter's face paled and he looked sick at the thought.

"Sadie… my dear child, I wish to prevent your future, but I can't. Make the right choices Sadie, do not be fooled."

He then turned to me with a tired expression. "Percy. You are by far the most powerful demigod the world has ever seen. The daughter of Athena knows the truth, she will tell you, what awaits you…I cannot say." He turned away with an expression of horror and pity and disappeared. I was left with a horrible gut-wrenching feeling. I gripped Riptide tightly. He then disappeared without a trace. I looked at Carter.

At that moment, I heard a familiar voice call, "PERCY!" I swiveled around, a grin spreading across my face as Annabeth ran towards me. My sword clattered to the ground as she flew into my embrace and I enveloped her. I hugged her tightly as she smiled at me.

Then she was all business. "Percy, I have some very good news. I got visited by the Egyptian god of funerals and death and there is a pyramid which Sadie here can use to open a portal. We have been granted permission to leave this place but only for an urgent matter."

We all stared at her for a couple of seconds.

Carter blinked in disbelief and then Jason spoke, which had come along behind Annabeth. "Well? Let's go. Well explain more when we are out of this place."

"Right." I managed to utter and we headed where a tiny pyramid was. I stared at it dumfounded. "Is this some type of joke?" Nico exclaimed in disbelief. Sadie stepped forward smiling sweetly. "No Angel, this is real." She then proceeded to raise her wand and a great swirling vortex of sand sucked us in.

Nico POV

For a second all I saw was darkness and then the surroundings of a cabin came in view and a very surprised elfish, Latino face with a mass of curly hair and we all tumbled onto the ground in a jumble of arms and limbs.

"Ow!" I heard someone exclaim above me. I opened my eyes and groaned as the dull pain of falling came into my senses. I felt faint claustrophobia that cleared as a blonde rolled of me. "Nico…" Someone groaned beneath me. I looked downwards and was met by dark curly eyelashes and a shock of sea-green eyes. His lips curled into a smile as I gazed downwards at him. "Err…that kinda hurts." He smirked. I immediately blushed and hurried to get up. I realized too late that my knee was in between his legs and that it wasn't a good idea. Percy flinched and moaned. "Ow! Nico that's my…" I stood up, my face red. "Sorry, sorry." I muttered in embarrassment. Sadie giggled and Annabeth laughed. Percy stood and smiled at me, "Its fine." He replied, amusement dancing in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Leo Interrupted. "What happened? Why are you here?" His brown eyes were wide with shock. I realized that we had appeared in Leo's cabin and it must have looked to him that we appeared out of nowhere. Piper, Calypso, and Hazel rushed in, alarmed with the sound and the voices. "Jason!" Piper squeaked and threw herself at him. Hazel looked relieved and Frank rushed in and for once everyone was happy.

Well, guys this is my last and final chapter. I had so many ideas for this story, a lot of pain and suffering, with a touch of betrayal and hate…*looks into the distance wistfully* But unfortunately I feared that this story would be too long so I decided that it would be best to leave you full of questions than people just completely stop reading so…Thank you for all those who stayed with me and I hoped you enjoy! (I might continue if I find out people want me too.) Thanks too, SapphireDragonsOnyx13 for her continued support! and my beautiful readers!
