Hades's pov:

"Good, get your weapons now, we shall leave immediately!"

I told Nico. I did doubt his ability to hide our plan but he did well. I was pleased with him but naturally, I didn't tell him that. His urge to prove himself to me makes him strong.

My son told me the location of Erebus's lair. The name Mammoth caves struck a chord in my head. It was an entrance to the underworld. That would explain Hyperion's presence over there! I knew that I would have to get there quickly so I caught hold of Nico and I teleported us to the caves.

When we landed though, I was surprised to see that we were at the outskirts of the park itself. "It's a repulsion spell! Hectate must also be her." It was then that I looked at Nico. His shirt was singed and he was badly burnt on his hand. But the reason he hadn't said anything was because he was unconscious.

I realized that they had placed the spell to prevent demigods from entering. I guess that they didn't realize that the Gods could help Demigods now. I gave some ambrosia to him. His wounds slowly recovered and he gained consciousness again.

"Father…"

"Don't talk boy, rest here. I will go on and find Erebus. When you feel better you can follow me. I should probably take out most of the vile creatures that are probably roaming this area. On my way to the entrance."

I used my helm and melted into the shadows. I loved the helm. It was perfect to kill any weak enemies and even weaken strong ones. The fear I radiated using this helm is something I have only seen, never felt.

I moved into the park. It was empty; there were no mortals and monsters. It wasn't surprising that there were no mortals here. Hectate had probably used magic to prevent them from entering but the absence of monsters was surprising. They had probably not sensed me but they should have been roaming around.

I decided to check for monsters. I summoned a hellhound. As soon as the dog arrived, monsters appeared. Dracaena and telekhines attacked the hound. Hectate had used magic to make them invisible!

She had however made a mistake with her spell. They had obviously expected an army of demigods to attack this place instead of alone hellhound. All the monsters were released from the invisibility spell.

It was now that I decided to step in. I transformed back to my human form. The monsters had by this time killed the hound but that did not bother me. I did have an almost endless reserve of these of course.

They looked surprised and tried to attack me but it was futile, I just slashed at them sending the back to the underworld. Persephone forged the sword for me. It contained a key of death in it.

However as I moved forward, I faced my first true challenge.

It was a giant bronze statue. I knew that I couldn't just stab it and send it to the underworld. It was technically a non-living creature. But living in the underworld, below the ground for thousands of years also certifies that you are a God of metals. That stupid statue wouldn't now what hit it!

It tried to strike me but I melted into the shadows. I didn't feel anything as it crushed me. I just moved behind and materialized. The stupid creature looked around for me. I concentrated on the thing's legs and pulled it off. It was pretty easy for me. The best part of this power was that I could throw metal without touching it. The statue started stumbling. I threw the leg at the head knocking it off. The head fell of with a groan and the statue fell down creating a crater.

I looked around only too see that it was guarding to the entrance of the caves. "Dad!" I saw Nico running towards me followed by a huge drakon. "How did you manage to attract that thing?" I shouted. He looked pretty shaken up. The only reasons that the drakon didn't get him yet were the hordes of undead trying to fight it. It kept snapping up a few at a time. But my son had impressively managed to summon a lot of them.

He reached me "I felt better and entered the park. But hardly fifty meters in, that thing was standing there waiting for me. I quickly summoned the undead to distract it while I ran!"

"That was cowardly!"

"That was not cowardly father, that is trying not to end up dead!"

I looked at him, amused. "All right, I shall show you how to destroy a drakon without any problems!"

I ran straight at it and ripped its armor off. "Come on you poison spitting beastie, I'm sending you back to the underworld!"

I jumped on to its back and stabbed it there and dragged my sword along its back. I managed to split its skin but it still didn't die!

"You're a strong one!"

I jumped into its body and started slicing at its organs. I saw the heart and made my way to it and stabbed.

I suddenly fell to the ground. The drakon had disintegrated. I was left covered with drakon goo…
