Nico's POV

I hopped onto the horse, with my body pressed against Jason. I still thought about Percy in the back of my mind, but what would I do if Jason liked me?

"Are you ready to go?" Jason asked excitedly. I nodded and whistled as loud as I could and soon enough, we lifted off the ground and we were flying over the water at top speed. I noticed that this time around, Piper wasn't oddly staring at us like last time, so I figured she just stopped caring, or she wanted Jason to care more than she did. I leaned towards the side we were gliding towards and Jason put his arms out at the same time I did. We both laughed and then noticed four poles across from each other sticking out of the water after hours of flying through the sky.

"You see that too right?" Jason asked.

"Ya and I think Percy does too." We looked over at Percy, heading towards the poles. Each one was about as big as one of our horse stables, and Percy sped down and landed on one of them.

"Come on down guys!" He yelled. "These are the coordinates!" We all landed on one of the poles and waited for orders. Percy smiled proudly.

"Well, I'm assuming we need to go down under, right?" Annabeth mentioned.

"Ya, but we can't breathe underwater like Percy can." Piper replied. She frowned and we could all tell she was jealous of his powers. He smiled slyly.

"Or can you?" Percy asked stupidly. He stopped talking and concentrated on doing something I guess. Soon enough, we were all inside our own small bubble.

"Okay," I started, "Well, what do we do?"

"We need to get down there, and then just get some kind of room to stay in." We all agreed and jumped off of the pole into the water. We swam down lower and lower, breathing as we got closer to the gates of Atlantis. When we finally got there, I was amazed. The poles were beautifully crafted, and everything was so much bigger than I expected. Annabeth was obviously in awe because her jaw was dropped. We walked up to these huge gates and Percy tried to open them up they wouldn't budge. We waited for five minutes, and as we were waiting, Percy came up to me.

"Hey!" He said, "What's up?" I blushed. I knew I did. I tried to cover it all up but I didn't even know how anymore. Being with Jason made me feel like Percy didn't exist but when I was actually around Percy... It was crazy.

"Uh, you know, the skies, lots of water, you probably already know anyways, why ask me?" He frowned.

"Okay, well, I'm sorry if I hurt you and I really still think you're pretty awesome so forgive me and we can be friends?" The last four words hit me hard, but I knew he just liked me as a friend and nothing more.

"Whatever." I replied.

"Okay, thanks bro!" He embraced me in a warm hug, but let go before I could even hug him back, and he walked off. Then Jason came over.

"Hi Nico, did you talk to Percy?"

"Ya." I said. I was still dying. Just from a hug. Jason frowned almost like he didn't believe me.

"U seems mad?"He asked. I was.

"Nope." I said stupidly. He kept his frown.

"You sure?" He asked again. I wasn't.

"Yep." I replied. I wasn't, and I was totally lying. I was just about to tell him about the hug, but then Suddenly, the gates opened up with a loud noise and we rushed over to see what it was. As I approached the gates, they were just pulling themselves open. "How'd you do that?" I asked Percy in amazement.

"I found a merman that worked here and told him that we needed to urgently speak to the King that rules Atlantis. He just nodded and opened the gates for me! It was easy." I sighed.

"Annabeth totally could have figured that out if she would just close her mouth for a minute! It's not even that exciting anyways."Annabeth looked up.

"Nico Di Angelo. I will fight you kid." I took that to no offence.

"You? And a child of the big three?" I laughed and so did Jason.

"Whatever," She said like she didn't care. But she did. We all walked into the city together, and it really was jaw droppinglly beautiful. Everything was white or blue and we had to manoeuvre through some paths before we reached the kings throne. The king was wearing a crown but had his head down. He looked up and we noticed that he only had one eye.

"I SMELL DEMIGODS!" He shouted. We all stepped back a bit. He sniffed around the air. "Son of Hades, (Hades is my friend,) Aphrodite, Sky man, Wise lady, and..." He sniffed around some more with a puzzled expression on his face. "THE SEA GOD?!" All of a sudden he had an unexpected burst of outrage. He got out of his chair and he wasn't even that big. He was pretty short to be honest! He had almost orange skin, like a fake tan, and one huge blue eye, sparkling in the middle of his face. We all bowed down in fear, but Annabeth stood up.

"I remember reading about you sir!" His eyebrows raised a little like he was excited about hearing that. "Percy was also neglected by Poseidon, and he learned himself who he truly was. We helped him!" The Cyclops sighed.

"I didn't introduce myself properly did I? No, my name is Quinn. Everyone OUT! I want to speak to this figure boy." Percy bowed down and we all left the room through the small white doors.

"Percy's going to screw this up!" Annabeth said. "The king was an abandoned orphan of Poseidon and if Percy tells him that he was claimed... Were all dead!"

"Well," I started, "Lets listen in and hope that Percy isn't as stupid as he normally is," Jason said indiscriminately.
