Nico woke with a start.

Bianca had sent him a dream. It was definitely one about Minos. But did she send him the dreams warning him no to deal with him, or the ones with him?

He didn't have time too think about it. He heard someone walking down the hall, probably to get him. He left his room and saw Alecto walking down the hall.

She spotted him and said, "Good you're ready." We're departing. Alecto then touched Nico, and they sailed into blackness.

Nico found himself standing next to Alecto, in front of a hospital.

"You will learn to sense death today."

They walked in. They went straight for the hall.

An attendant said, "Excuse, me! You can just barge in."

Alecto snapped her fingers and said, "We are doctors."

The attendant shook her head and replied, "Go right in, doctor."

They walked in the hallway. Nico was hearing a slight ringing.

"I sense something here, like a tingling. It's in all these people."

"That is a good start."

Alecto led Nico into a room. A man stood lying there. When Nico looked at him, he heard a ringing in his ear.

Alecto asked, "Do you feel anything strange when looking at him?"

"Like my ears ringing?"

"That can work. So when your ears are ringing, you are sensing someone dying."

"OK?"

"Now tell me how this man is dying."

Once again, Nico concentrated hard.

"He is dying of leukemia."

"Correct. Now come."

Alecto led him through the hospital. He identified if whether or not a person was dying and how for every patient in the wing.

Every time he sensed something, he got a little tired. But he acclimated to it, and soon he could sense death effortlessly.

Finally, they were in the waiting room where they started.

"You did well today, Nico."

"Thanks."

Alecto touched him, and he was in his bed, with Alecto nowhere to be in sight.

He figured he had a few hours to walk around. He ran back to the Pavilion. He wanted to try something.

Nico went through the wall of the Pavilion and stood in the room where Bianca was judged. He looked around.

There it was. A door he hadn't noticed before. He walked right through it.

Nico was in a back room. A giant painting of Elysium dominated on wall. The other three had desks, probably for the three Judges. It the center was a filing cabinet. He tried to open a drawer labeled, A-I. He made contact.

After scrolling though Angica Angelo and Banner Angelo, he found Bianca di Angelo. He found a folder. He took it out. Inside were papers. There was General Bio, Cause of Death, Good Deeds, and Bad Deeds.

He took out the one labeled Bad Deeds.

The only major one was Disturbing Items in the Junkyard of the Gods.

That couldn't be right. Then Percy was right.

Then he saw another one, titled Secrets.

He took it out.

The page was divided into sections. There was only one he cared about.

Related to Death.

He read the only one.

Secretly hates Mythomagic.

Now Nico was confused.
