Chapter 16: A Few Painful Goodbyes
Once Set had disappeared completely, the group hurried towards the figures on the crowd. Amos, now free from Set's control, stirred but the other figure seemed to be broken to pieces.
"Zia!" Carter cried in horror. "What's happened to her!?"
The others stared in shock. Zia had crumbled into chunks of dull clay.
"A shabti," Nico/Anubis murmured, "That's not the real Zia."
Carter, obviously distraught, nevertheless tried to pull it together. "We need to get out of here," He said and the others muttered their accent.
As they stood outside Brooklyn House a few hours later, Percy and Annabeth turned to the others. "We should head back to Camp," Percy said. "Are you coming, Nico?"
"No," Nico said swiftly. "I'll be staying here with Sadie and Carter." Percy nodded in understanding. It had been thanks to Nico's new power of summoning doors of darkness that they had made and back so quickly and Percy knew that finally, Nico had found somewhere where he felt completely accepted.
So, after exchanging a round of goodbyes, the two demigods left and Nico stepped into Brooklyn House, hoping for a brand new start.
