At that point I fell to the ground panting, starring as Nico came towards me and stretched out his hand. I grabbed it and pulled myself up.
"How are you?" I asked Nico.
"S'okay," he said meekly.
"Why are you here?"
"I am allowed here aren't I?"
"Yeah oh course, but…." I had just noticed his hands, legs, and face were covered in scars.
"What happened?" I asked in awe.
"Well you were just attacked b-" I cut him off,
"Not right now, I mean what happened to you?" I inquired.
"Oh this stuff," he said indicating the scars.
"I just had intense training with good old dad," He explained
"When you say intense do you mean…" I said trailing off.
"Yeah I mean harsh, you try fighting all three furies at once."
"I have," I replied
"Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember now," He said softly
"But still, the war's over," I protested
"I know but he keeps ranting on and on about you never know what those cousins of yours have up their sleeves, blah, blah, blah" he explained sarcasm ring loud and clear in his voice.
"Guess he was referring to Thalia because the last time I checked I wasn't planning on taking over the world in the name of Poseidon," I joked.
"Yeah that's the basic idea," he mumbled.
"So let me guess, you ran away from the underworld?" I asked.
"Yeah I ran away, but not from the underworld, I was in Canada," he explained.
"Oh," I replied meekly.
"Heh!" Thalia interjected.
"When death boy and kelp breath finish their little chat we might actually be able to figure out what just happened," She said in a loud obnoxious voice.
"And as soon lightning girl shuts up we could finish our current conversation," I shouted angrily at Thalia.
"Oh yeah," she snarled at me then she lunged forward, but Apollo was too fast, he threw out his arm and caught her around the waist.
"Now just wait a minute everyone, let's all take a moment to calm down," he paused for special effect,
"Or I shall recite a haiku." He said grinning stupidly
"I feel one coming on"
A hush fell over the crowd.
No one talked,
No one moved,
Because no one wanted to hear a haiku.
(A/N: hey that rhymes)
Time slowed down, and about a minute later we heard someone fart.
"Oops, so it wasn't a haiku, just gas, sorry everyone." Apollo said grinning like 3 year old.
"Oh MY Gods Apollo grow up already!" Thalia and Artemis shouted at their brother (well half/twin brother but you know what I mean.)
"Sorry dudes, but a mans got to do what a mans got to do," He said shrugging his shoulders and winking in the direction of Stewart, Harry, Nico, and I.
"Apollo, if you value your face as it is at the moment then shut the Hades up." Thaila hissed at him.
Apollo gulped, obviously in love with his face.
Nico screamed, a loud piercing scream.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Did you just – and he said- and you…" he stammered out pointing in different directions. His face went ridged. The ground shook and a loud voice boomed,
"Nico!"
Suddenly Nico froze, then shock the hair out of his face, squared his shoulders, and raised his fist preparing to fight.
"COME BACK NOW!!" the voice bellowed.
"No," Nico said simply his voice shaking a little,
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME YOUNG MAN!" the voice bellowed again.
"I said NO!" Nico bellowed back at the ground.
"I am your father! You obey me and only me," The voice threatened dangerously low.
"No, I don't do what you tell me to do anymore!" Nico screamed choking up.
"But still, why though do you insist on coming back to your 'friends' or so you call them?" The voice questioned.
"Because they treat me as human, not a machine," Nico explained quietly, tears streaming down his face.
"You don't under-" the voice started,
"Don't you tell me what I don't understand, I understand just perfectly! They don't whip me whenever I get something wrong, they don't tell me to toughen up whenever I break a bone and scream out in pain as I am branded," he yelled
"You were branded?!" I practically shouted, my temper rising at my uncle.
"Yeah I was, you wanna see it." He said turning around and taking off his shirt. There, on his back in Big bold black letters was the word HADES.
I stared mouth practically dropping to the ground. The letters seemed to be swirling in black ink. I could practically see the death in them but then again that was impossible.
"When did- why did he- and you let- holy seahorses," I stammered out.
Suddenly I heard someone crash down onto the earth. I turned around Apollo had fainted.
"Sheesh, for a god that guy has no back-bone," Artemis said walking over and kicking her brother in the ribs.
"Oww… pain. No beauty, ugggg, why live," Apollo moaned softly.
"Oh just get over yourself," Thailia said rolling her eyes.
"It's not all flowers and sunshine."
