It was honestly just a normal day for Nico di Angelo. Catching missing ghosts and bringing them back to the Underworld after the Doors of Death had closed and killing monsters while helping younger demigods to camp.
Even after the war with Gaea, Nico did not feel like he fit in even if the campers were willing to accept him. While coming back from a mission for his father Nico suddenly felt tired which might be because of the overuse of his powers. Nico's power finally allowed him to shadow travel and raise skeletons without the worry of turning into a shadow himself.
"Father," Nico said as he kneeled in front of Hades' throne. Nico knows that his father loves him no matter what even if he must put a façade on and had no fear of being in his presence.
"Nico, my son," Hades started talking after accepting Nico's bow and greeting and started to finish what he was saying, "there is another world different than ours with humanity dying as we speak. Their world has titans–"
"Titan? I thought all the titans were in Tartarus?" Nico interrupted.
"Not in the sense you are thinking Nico," Hades replied as he thought of a way to tell
Nico that he needs to go and fix what was happening in the other world.
"These titans are sentient, but they know nothing except hunger. These titans do not have thoughts like you and me. They have genitals and the only way to kill them is tocut the nape of their necks. If you do not, they will just regenerate. These titans usually sleep at night and are more active during the day." Hades finished with his little talk and looked directly into Nico's eyes.
Confused Nico just stared back confusion swimming in his dark chocolate brown eyes.
"But father what does that have to do with me? I mean I am not exactly there, and I
could not help them."
Nico wanted to know what his father was thinking. Knowing that his father would not tell him something that he did not need to know and was going to do something.
Sighing Hades looked at Nico and nodded slowly replied.
"Yes. I want you to go there and help fix their problems. The dead there are getting
restless, and it does not help with Melinoe's actions."
"WHAT? Do you want me to go to a different place and kill titan? I mean I could kill the
titans, but they would not trust me and that would complicate things." Nico said to his father after listening to his explanation.
"Yes, they need help and if nothing else is done about the ghosts and the dead they will
have a bigger problem to deal with," Hades replied.
"Alright fine. How am I going to get there and how am I going to know the different villages and walls?"
"I will make it so that you know everything there considering I am a god. As for how you will get there, I will be helping you shadow travel there. You will be arriving right outside the first wall called Sina. Inside that wall will be Shigashina. These people are primitive, but they have ODM gear which helps them kill titans." Hades replies to Nico after considering his questions.
"Okay, when am I going then? Is it soon? I need to pack a bag of ambrosia and nectar."
Hades just waves his hand and a bag full of necessities appeared and had enough
ambrosia and nectar to last a long time even with serious injuries.
"The ambrosia and nectar will keep refilling even if it is almost empty," Hades said as Nico looked through his bag.
Nico looked up and nodded at his father conviction in his eyes. Nico feeling like he would not be seeing his father in a long time hesitated after a moment.
He hesitated for a moment even if he wanted to stay with his father even if he was distant. Hades having
sensed Nico's hesitation walked over to him and gave Nico a small, rare hug whispering, "Remember son, I will always love you no matter what happens. If you meet your demise in the other world you will come back here to this world to pass for
judgment."
After Hades let go of Nico, he started to gather his power to send Nico to the other world full of titans.
"Gather your shadows and concentrate on a place called Shigashina. You will be brought there. The last piece of advice is to find a person called Levi Ackerman."
The next thing Nico knew was darkness and when he opened his eyes, he saw a giant wall staring down at him.
