"I think this is a bad idea." Nico whispered, looking slightly guilty.

"YOU THINK?!" Reyna and Leo whispered/yelled back.

"Look, kid, this is one place everyone dreads to be. Like, we'll be here one day." Leo reminded him.

They were in the underworld.

It was towering, and endless, covered in darkness. Nico had an idea, and without hesitation, they (after getting Reyna. Again) shadow travelled here.

"Well, there's no going back. We've gotten here so far." Reyna muttered very quietly.

All three of them had no intention to wake the dead.

"What if your father notices us?" Skye asks, who had been hiding behind Leo's legs.

"He, hopefully, will be with the dead. Anyway, he wouldn't notice me." He muttered.

Reyna and Leo shared a glance with each other, before looking forward again. This universe underneath the ground, seemed never-ending. The Fields of Punishment, and Asphodel were not so far away from them. At this thought, Leo shivered.

"How do you get used to this?" He asked Nico, who was concentrating, and was slightly psyched up, as if he was worried a ghost would just jump out from somewhere.

"I was born this way." He replied, not even looking at the older boy. "That's why everyone is scared of me."

Without thinking, he put a hand on his shoulder sympathetically. "I know how that feels." Leo did. Because of his fire powers, he had been kicked out of his family, and most people still tended to stay away from him. It wasn't his fault he was born like this.

Reyna flinched beside the boys, feeling guilty. Nico looked at Leo and smiled.

Tugging at Leo, Skye asked, "So, what was the plan again?"

Leo shrugged, "No idea. I kind went into excited-mode and lost the conversation"

Rolling his eyes, Nico explained, "Well, you see...haven't you heard of humans and people being buried with their most important possessions? Or like their dreams of possessions? You see, they are somewhere in the underworld. I asked my dad, and there's an exact place. That's where we're heading. I'm guessing the disk could have been buried as it was so important. And since there are two kids of Hephestus, you probably can feel it. Um... there's a problem. It still belongs to the dead. So if any mortals touch it, it burns them. So you can't touch anything. Somehow, you have to make it yours. "

"Are you saying we have to steal from the dead?" Leo asked incredulously.

"Um...yes." Nico says sheepishly.

"Brilliant. Okay, but where is it?"

Reyna shakes them from their conversation. "Err, guys... In front of you ..."

They all gasped.

"I've never been here before." Nico breathed.

Before them, was heaps and stacks of golden drachmas, glistening in the darkness. But hidden slightly, were statues, buildings and valuables. Leo could truly believe this was where the most important objects and possessions were.

"This is amazing..." Leo gaped at the sight. None of them moved for a while. Until Reyna shook Leo.

"Can you feel the disk somewhere around here?" She questioned.

Leo closed his eyes, and stood there. "I think so..." He replied, his voice very quiet. Slowly, and cautiously, he walked forward, holding on to Skye.

"How much I wish Hazel was here, " Nico said. Reyna nodded, in agreement.

"So...? What do we do now?" Reyna implied.

"Walk. Go forward." Nico held out his hands, almost shy.

Leo grabbed one, Reyna the other. Skye sat on Nico's shoulders, arms around his neck.

"Walking to our deaths again, huh? Can't wait to tell a teacher this. 'What do you do in your spare time, Leo?' 'Oh miss, I walk through the underworld to my death, fighting monsters. No biggie."

They all laughed.

"Very sweet, children. But I can't exactly let you in like that? It's forbidden. I thought you would know that, Son of Hades."

Reyna, Leo and Nico froze in their tracks. They spun around.

"Hello. I am Mr White. Welcome to this city. I'll try my best not to kill you. "
