We eventually arrive at the pavilion and grab our breakfast. I then looked around for somewhere to sit, I was going to sit with Jamie but then Will came up to me and said that Nico wants to talk to me. I slowly walk over to the Hades table where Nico is sitting. Will sits down beside him and I sit across from them.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" I asked.
Nico looks up from his food and says, "My dad would like to speak with you after breakfast.'
"Ooo, sounds fun," I said smiling. Nico and Will looked at each other with confused looks then back at me.
"Hades sounds fun to you?" Asked Will. They stared at me for a minute then suddenly Nico bursts out in laughter, he stopped once he realized he was drawing attention. I looked up to see Percy staring at us from his table with a wide grin on his face.
"What? I've always wanted to meet Hades, he probably one of my favorite Immortals."
"S-so your serious?" Questioned Nico trying not to laugh at my comment.
"Yeah."
"Well then we'll go straight after breakfast," I smiled and started eating my food, which was really good I might add.
"Ready to go?" Nico asked as he finished eating.
"Yeah!" I said maybe a little to excitingly.
Nico just looked at me with raised eyebrows, he put his plates down and grabbed my shoulder, before I knew it we were incased in darkness, unintentionally I started to glow. Within a split second we were in a cold room with sleek, jet black, marble floors and ceilings so high I could barley see it. I looked forward to see a dark figure sitting on a throne, who I guessed was Hades himself. The walls were lit with Greek fire which burned eerily. Hades leaned forward so that I could see his face in the faint green light.
"Who is this?" Hades boomed.
"This is her, the one who slapped Zeus," Nico said. Oh crap, so this is what this is about, I thought.
Hades just laughed loudly, almost mocking me, "This, this is the child who had guts to face Zeus," his face straightened, "I was definitely expecting, more."
"U-um, I'm Trish, nice to meet you," I stammered. Hades then got up out of his chair and walked towards me. When he reached me he stuck out his and for me to shake, I reluctantly took it. I didn't want to be rude after all, this is the lord of the underworld.
"Its nice to finally meet the person how slapped some sense into my younger brother. Between you and me, I'd say he needed it."
I smiled at him, thank goodness he didn't want to get revenge unlike some of the other Immortals, I would not want to be on his bad side.
"Tell me child, why aren't you scared? Most people come down here just to ruin their pants," Hades asked.
I laughed, "Well most people think you this scary Immortal who would just kill you just because he was having a bad day. When really your just angry at the other Immortals for forcing you down here and making your life as crappy as it could possibly get. I understand what its like to be misunderstood, so before I judge you, I obviously have to get to know you. Plus, if you were really as bad as they say, you wouldn't want what's best for your children. You want then to be happy and the person they describe wouldn't really want that."
Hades smiled, which was surprisingly soothing, "Nico you should have brought her down here a long time ago."
All of a sudden, a huge hellhound comes bounding inside. I look up at the thing, holy crap the thing was huge. "Don't be scared, that's just Mrs. O'Leary," said Nico.
"What! Are you kidding me! Why would I be scared of her, she's like the kindest hellhound ever. Plus, why would I be scared, I've defeated tons of hellhounds before."
Nico just shrugged his shoulders, and he took Mrs. O'Leary's huge leash. "We should probably get back, Percy said he had something for you and he's kind of impatient."
"Haha, yeah," I laughed, "Well, it was a pleasure to meet you Hades."
"You too child," Hades suddenly snaps his finger and we are back at camp on top of Half Blood Hill.
"Well, it seems like my father really likes you," Nico said as we walked down the hill towards camp.
"Yeah."
