The New Age

A/N: Welcome to chapter 3! Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed and added this story. It makes me so very happy and makes me write a little faster so that I can give the next chapter to you guys. But anyways, on with the story!

(Nico's POV)
Sadie look horrified. "How are you going to give Order and Chaos hosts? That should be impossible. They are primordial forces, just like you are."
"Sadie, how do you know all of that? In matter of fact, how do you know what hosting even is? Aren't you just a mortal?" Nico asked confused. He wondered how she knew what Gaea was babbling on about.
"I'm not mortal. I mean I am but I know how to do magic. There-"
"Are Egyptian gods running around the world, just as there are Greek and Romans ones. Dear Sadie knows how to do Egyptian magic. But moving on, hosting, my dear boy, is to give gods a mortal body to them, so to speak. This allows them to live among the mortal world. Sadie is correct, it should be impossible to give Order and Chaos, Ma'at and Apophis as Miss Kane knows them, but you two have enough power to host them without killing yourselves. And this will make you both immortal in the process."
"I understand why we have to do this but why us. There are so many more powerful magicians than me." Sadie asked.
"And there are more powerful demigods than me." Nico added.
Gaea smiled kindly at them. "I chose you Sadie because you are pure and Ma'at needs a host with purity and you're the only one with enough of it. As for Nico, I chose you because you have through so much in your life and have been through enough chaos in your life to understand what it's like. But now my dear children enough talk. It's time for you to meet your entities."
"Wait! I'm not ready for this. I don't even know if I can do this! Please just-.", Sadie cried out. But it was too late. Gaea had already touched her forehead and she passed out.
"And now it's your turn Nico." Nico's eyesight blurred as Gaea touched him and he slowly backed out.
Nico gasped and rose too quickly. Almost immediately he got dizzy. When it disappeared he looked around where he was. It looked familiar to him. And then it hit him. It was the living room from his home in the 20's. It looked exactly the same. The huge window was still at the front of the home. The fireplace was on the right. Even his mother's favorite chair, which was a big red velvet one given to her personally by Hades was in the right place, close to the door so that she may be able to answer it quickly if guests came over. It made him feel shaky. He wanted to cry and sob and remember all the fun things he and his sister had done. It-
"What a lovely living room you had, Mr. Di Angelo." said a man with a faint accent.
Nico whirred around and got dizzy again. "Who are you?"
The man smiled at him menacingly "I am Apophis. You are going to become my host."
"Says who? I don't even want to do this. Gaea said that this was my destiny and all that bullshit but I don't believe it. I mean I can't even find the Doors of Death without messing up. Why would you want me to be your host?"
"Because I know you. I've been watching you seen the day you were born. You father, your mother, even the gods themselves knew that this day was going to come. You are destined to do this and I know for a fact that you will not fail me."
Nico looked over at the massive mirror that what hanging over the fireplace. At first when he looked into it he just saw his and Apophis's reflections. But then it shifted around and he saw Sadie talking to who he thought was Ma'at. Sadie looked as if she was scared and she kept shaking her head in disbelief.
"Nico? Listen to me my boy. The process is almost over. You must listen to me. When you both wake up you and Miss Kane," he said Sadie's last name in slight disgust, " must leave the Colosseum, get on a boat and go to Sicily. There you meet an American girl named Ariana Ascott. She will help you. Only after you meet her are you allowed to go back to Rome to meet back with your cousin, Percy. Understand? I will also make sure that everything goes planned."
"OK. Is there anything else it must know?"
"No. Oh! Wait there is one other thing you must know before you go.," Nico's vision started to blur again. "You must tell your comrades that Gaea is not the real enemy. It's-
Nico pasted out again.
A/N: Chapter 3 is now over. What did you guys think? So far I've added one original character and I have a lot more to include. Don't worry I will make sure that they are all there. So who do you guys think the true enemy is? Please review and thanks for reading!
