This may seem like the last chapter but it's not. Thaila's Pov

As the titans shield was being weakened they decided to vanish we all averted our eyes except for one person that person's name. Matthew Ryder. All we found was his sword. I still can't believe he's gone. He was like a little brother. We decided to make a shroud for him. Since he probably wouldn't want something girly on his shroud to Nico. But no he didn't make it really Hades like. He put a sword, spear, and flames on it. We burned it and everyone said a few words, except Nico who tried to look dignified, but I saw a tear come down his cheek. "I thought that he was a big pest and that if a time came where he would have to risk his life he wouldn't man up, but he proved me wrong."

Nico's Pov

I never thought that the guy had it into him but he did. By the way that tear was not because of me a bug flew into my eye. I thought that if I ever cried it would be because of something else. And um nothing has ever happened that made me cry.

Thaila's Pov

Nico came to see me after the ceremony, and he did something that I never thought he would do in a million years he hugged me and said "I can't believe he's gone Thaila. Why couldn't they have taken me? "It's ok wait can't you just say hi to him?" No I can't Thaila everyone I get close to dies. He decided to get reborn." "Listen Nico you need to forget about this." No I can't you're all I have left. Percy's gone Matthew's dead what am I supposed to down." Then he did something even more unexpected he cried his guts out.'' We went to the hades cabin and Nico laid down and I laid next to him and said "it'll be ok. Well good night." "Thaila." "Yes" "I love you." "You too kid good night"

The End
