Nico's Pov:
"I do," I said, just landing from shadow travel. Screw what Will says, I can't stay still.
"NICO!? WHAT THE-" Percy's surprised face was entertaining but I had to cut the pleasantries.
"I overheard Hades, and I think I know what's going on," I remembered just hours ago today, Hades was talking to Persephone.
FLASHBACK! ( PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THIS, IT'S IMPORTANT)"
Revenge is sweet my love, I've been waiting centuries for the right subject, and here he is!" I leaned closer and saw an orb. In the orb was Justin and Annabeth. Kissing.
"See! He doesn't even suspect that I am using him!"
"Husband! You can't! That's so evil!" Persephone countered. For once I agreed with her even though I didn't know what was going on.
"Yeah yeah, but Aphrodite humilated me, so I will humilate her by using her own son to destroy the one couple she loves. It's a perfect plan, and soon, it will be complete.
"I had no idea what he was talking about so I leaned in closer to get a better look."When Aphrodite made my daughter, sorry to speak of her in your presence, anyways.. where?... oh, yes, when Aphrodite made my daughter fall in love with a snake, I was outraged. I've had this plan in my head for over 3 centuries. It's perfect.""
What's the plan again my lord?" Persephone asked politely.
"You see her eyes my dear? It's turning pink. I added a bit of my godly magic to his charmspeak, so when it completely covers her eyes.." he paused, "she's like a clock. When she rings Justin cannot turn her back."
"But will that be a bad thing for Justin? I mean, isn't that what he wants?" Persephone looked at the orb closely.
"Ah, yes. However, Annabeth is not his soulmate. If he finds another, like Lily, his actual soulmate, Annabeth will go through any lenghts to get him back. Including killing."I tripped and made a large sound that echoed through my Father's chamber. Ooops. So I quickly shadow traveled to the big house, overhearing part of Aphrodite's words.
(End of flashback)
"So, now I'm here!" I finished, after explaining what I saw to them.
"So.. Lily... I never thought.." Percy mumbled.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Piper asked impatiently.
"We need a new plan. Now that we don't need Lily's plan because we already know who his soulmate is, we are plan-less. How are we going to convice Justin that Annabeth isn't his soulmate and that Lily is?"
"Don't forget charmspeak!" Aphrodite cut in. I forgot she was gere and it nust have shown on my face because she said "Yes, I'm still here."
"What about Charmspeak Mom? Wasn't that the reason we got into this mess in the first place? Or was it your fault?" Piper added that last part remembering what Hades said about revenge.
"She was making my son fall in love with her! What was I supposed to do?" I rolled my eyes slightly. Gods.
"I have an idea!" Percy exclaimed. I sighed. I hate his ideas. They always bite.
