Oof this one came out kinda depressing
There were just too many. Will and Nico stood back to back, surrounded by a writhing mass of monsters. Nico flicked his sweaty hair out of his brow and stabbed a monster that had lunged, making him explode in a cloud of golden dust. He saw an opening, and charged, golden dust clouding his vision as he ripped his Stygian Iron sword through the monsters around him. An agonized cry brought Nico's vision to his blonde lover, and Nico cried out as he ran as fast as he could to the son of Apollo, laying in a heap by the ground. His vision red with fury, Nico summoned a legion of skeletons as he picked up the tall boy, bridal style, and ran. He ran with all his strength, until he collapsed as well. The countryside was a battlefield, littered with dust and quite a few demigod bodies too. Tears stung his eyes and fell down his face as he saw the red splotch on Will's chest grow bigger and bigger, until it dripped onto the grass around him, staining it a crimson red.
"Will! Will!" Nico shouted, kneeling next to the barely breathing boy. "N-Nico," Will rasped, as he grabbed onto Nico's hand. "You have to go on without me," He said, his sky-blue eyes glazing over as his last breath stuttered to a halt. "No, no, please," Nico sobbed, pulling the lifeless body into his arms, wishing it was him instead. Will's shoulder was stained with Nico's tears as Nico shared one last hug with the love of his life. His sun had set, and the warmth and laughter that came with it disappeared. Instead the inky, cold darkness of the night settled into Nico's heart, breaking it into pieces.
