A/N: Sorry this is so late! I lost this file in my black-hole of a one drive and it took me WEEKS to find, and then my mom got a new router that means she can turn wifi on and off. So I was unable to update….Sorry! I'll get the next part of without your light up soon also! I promise

Nico's POV

"Holy Hera" Annabeth muttered as she dug through her bag. The guard was looking for proof that we were demigods, and after I called Jules-Albert, he rather reluctantly let us in. He also gave the three of us passes to give out to kids saying "I don't need to be scared out of my soul again, kids." Now, she was looking for a Ziploc bag and a sharpie, so that we could fill out the passes with names, date of birth and godly parent after we cut Hera into pieces (Or she told us where Will was). She found what she was looking for, though, and we arrived at the top not long after that. We were currently riding in the elevator, up to Olympus. After a couple minutes, we arrived at the top. I was the first out of the elevator, storming the golden city. Percy and Annabeth soon followed. Annabeth was not happy that the goddess of family took up a new habit of abducting boyfriends, and as Percy knew how….unnerving it was, he had a few words to say himself. I opened the doors to the massive palace and shouted "Hera, WHERE ARE YOU? YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO IF YOU PLAN TO STAY HERE AND NOT VISIT TARTURUS!" surprisingly, she answered

"Oh hello, I see you brought the calvary. Percy, how's your sister? Annabeth, how's your cousin? Oh Nico, I presume your troubles are what brought us here today?"

"How do you know about him?" Annabeth demanded

"Oh child, I am the goddess of family. I can see who your family is. Magnus Chase, son of Frey, dead, current residence: Hotel Valhalla. Anyway, I presume you want to know where Will is?" Hera was getting on my nerves

I jabbed my sword at her while speaking "I am Nico Di Angelo, Ghost King, Ambassador of Pluto, and unless you are a moron, you know why we are here. I demand, on behalf of peace in all of Olympus to know where William Solace, Head Medic of Camp Half-Blood and my boyfriend is. Can you do that, or do I have to suspend you over Chaos?"

"What you are speaking of requires a quest, so go consult Rachel. That's all my friend would tell me." She told us, before vaporizing, presumably to put her house on lockdown before my father sent all the forces of the underworld after her.

"Well, I suppose we consult Rachel." Was all Percy had to say.

We arrived back at camp and the trio of us immediately ran to the oracle cave. I stepped toward Rachel, saying "Hera told me to ask you for some sort of prophecy. I don't know? Help please?" and then a prophecy was spewed

The light lies in a place the Ghost King knows not

Where only certain people go, called the Duat

Only in the 21st life house lies answers

Angel must go alone, to discover new warriors

The Seaweed and the Owl know who he must seek

And if any fail, the whole world shall weep

And then Rachel promptly passed out.

I talked it over with Percy and Annabeth.

"So The Seaweed and the Owl refers to us, Percy" Annabeth said

"What about the light?" Percy asked

"That's Will, Kelp Head. But I'm confused about the 21st life-house. What's up with that?"

"A couple years ago, Annie and I worked with this pair of siblings, the Kanes. They are a part of the House of Life, and Brooklyn is the 21st nome. You have to go there, I think. I'll send a message to them so they know someone's coming." Percy supplied

"I'll pack. I don't know how long I'll be searching for Will. Annabeth searched for you for 8 months Percy, after all." I added before I left to go pack. I grabbed a few sets of clothes, and because I couldn't leave it, the bright orange sweatshirt that I had stolen from Will ages ago. In response, he stole a hoodie of mine. I was all ready when Percy knocked on my doorframe

"Yo, Neeks, everything's arranged. Carter will be here with Freak shortly. He'll pick you up and take you to Brooklyn house."

"One, call me Neeks again and you'll see Thanatos again the hard way. Two, why can't I just shadow-travel?"

Percy was his annoying Kelp-Headed self, saying "You know why. You wouldn't want your reunion being a fuss of 'why'd you use your underworldy powers? You know you can't use them.' From sunshine."

"Only I get to call Will sunshine." I muttered before exiting the cabin. On cue, a reed boat with a griffin pulling it arrived in the area between cabins. An African-American boy stepped out and walked over to Percy and I. He was wearing a white linen shirt and brown cotton pants. His shoes seemed to be made of a combination of linen, cotton and bamboo. He also had rubber soles on his shoes. An odd lack of animal products, to be sure. I don't know what I would do if not for my leather aviator jacket. Oh well.

"Hi. I'm Carter Kane, host of Horus and co-leader of the 21st nome. You must be Nico?"

"Yeah. I'm Nico Di Angelo. You wouldn't happen to have a sister about my age, dating Anubis, would you?" I asked

He paled. "Yeah I do. Sadie's a bit worried. I am too. Walt/Anubis and Zia have been missing since well, for about a month now. Why do you ask?"

"No reason." I brushed away the counter-question. Suddenly, he seemed to be fighting a war in his head.

"I'm not bowing, Horus. Why, he's not royal. Oh wait WHAT? Ghost king? If it gets you to shut up, I'll do it." Then, for no reason at all, he bowed in front of me.

"Uh, what are you doing? Only the spirits I summon do that. And I'm trying to get them to stop." I asked

He stood up, then exhaled. "Horus told me to. I'll explain later. Let's go." He was clearly uncomfortable with the situation, so I decided not to press any further. We boarded the reed boat and then took off to the 21st Nome.

A/N: This is late. I have no excuse. I am trying to get my chapters done. Count on every other Saturday for updates on any story.

So, in case I wasn't clear, Will is in the Duat and Nico will be at Brooklyn house the next chapter from his POV. In chapter 4 we get some Solace Family History! Anyway, that's it, Clearing-It-Up wise, I want to know:

What do you think?

Any other characters you want to make an appearance? (Zia and Sadie are coming. Chapter four or six for Zia and Chapter five for Sadie.

What are your theories for the prophecy?

Should Nico learn Egyptian magic?
