Damn, I wonder what Hades is going to think about this. I guess we just have to find out then, don't we? When we got the underworld Nico was sticking really close to Bianca, she didn't mind (Of course) but I think she wanted him to stay close to her, so she knows she's not alone. Can't blame her, that's how I felt when I first arrived here…It must have been like being in hell for my father, I mean watching a baby on your own? That's something only a mother can do, a mother…

As we were walking Nico asked me. "Are you okay?" He frowned, "You got that look in your eyes again."

'That look' what look? I just nodded, "I'm alright, just thinking about some stuff."

Bianca looked concerned, "Thinking about what?" She asked.

I sighed, I guess its okay. "Just thinking about when I first got here. My mother died giving birth to me, and that left Hades in a bad position, he either had to send me to foster care, or take me down here…Man, I can't believe he actually took me down here, but I'm grateful he did. The man I am today, is because he raised me, I'm in his debt." I told her.

"Well then, I guess I made the right decision." Someone said behind us. I got startled, "Who-

I stopped because Hades was the one who was behind us. "Hello father." I said and bowed quickly. He nodded, he seems…Relaxed, calm and most importantly, not the man I saw when I came back down here after so long. He looked at Nico and Bianca, "Hello Nico, Bianca."

Both of them were too stunned to speak, I guess meeting your father after how many years for the first time is kind of hard to process. "Wyatt, I'm actually the one in your debt, it is because of you, I have three children, and the deaths have stopped quite a lot since you came along, so work has become quite easy of late. So I thank you for that." Hades said to me.

I felt embarrassed, I almost never get complements like that from him. So I kind of have the right to be embarrassed. "Th-Thank you, father."

The other two were still in shock. "Say Nico, you still want to learn how to shadow travel? And Bianca, I'm sure you could learn something too." I said to them.

Nico snapped out of it, "Can you really…Teach me how to shadow travel?" He asked. Hades didn't seem like he wanted to do that, "Hasn't Wyatt showed you the basics already?"

Nico nodded, "Yes, but…I want to learn it from you, since you taught it to him. I want to see how you do it, please."

Hades considered this, "Hmm…Olympian gods are not to have contact with their children, but because I'm not allowed on Olympus, that rule does not apply to me, down here I do what I want to do, not what they want me to do."

Nico smiled, "So you'll show me?"

Hades nodded, "Just the basics, and then you're both on your own. Got it?" He said.

Nico nodded in agreement, Bianca was really quiet, "Uh…Fa- Lord Hades?" She said, I guess she's not comfortable calling him 'father' well she was always a little shy, so maybe with time, she'll call him father.

Hades turned to her, "Yes?"

Bianca looked at the ground, "Can you also show me how to shadow travel?"

"I thought I already established that I was going to show you two?" Hades asked.

Bianca looked embarrassed, "Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot."

I smiled, "So do you guys still need me? Or can I go and do something real quick?" I asked them.

Bianca jumped, "You're leaving!?"

Nico also looked nervous, "Do you have to?"

Hades looked hurt, come on guys…You have to do this at least. "I won't be long, alright? Plus he is only showing you the basics, after that you're on your own, once he shows you, you'll get it and will be able to shadow travel back to camp or wherever Artemis is, got it?" I told them. They still didn't want me to go.

"Well I'll be back if you guys don't get it right away." I said and got ready to shadow travel.

I don't know why, but I wanted to see Artemis, so I thought about her and then the next thing I knew, I was twenty feet away from her. I guess I ended up so far away, because I don't even know what I did, I didn't know I could shadow travel to people like that, I thought I only had to concentrate on a certain place. This is awesome!

Artemis was with the rest on her hunters, I'm not sure she told the others about me…I should have asked Bianca. Ah who cares, 'Artemis. Turn around' I thought.

Artemis slowly looked up and then she turned and saw me, she tilted her head, and walked up to me. When she got close she said, "Why are you here, without Bianca no less?"

I held up my hands, "I'm sorry, I was going to do something, but I ended up in the wrong place, I guess I found out a lot more about shadow traveling."

Artemis didn't look mad, "Well then, if it was important, then I guess I'll let this slide, anyway, why are you here?" She asked again.

I sighed, "I don't know. I was supposed to be somewhere else, but I thought about you and here I am…" That sounds so weird coming out of my mouth.

Artemis was caught off guard, "And why were you thinking about me?"

Meh, this is all today.

Thanks for reading!
