Alright next chapter explains certain events that had happened and also allows Bianca to get a grasp on what her little brother has become. DISCLAIMER I don't own PJO or HOH if I did I wouldn't really change much because its already so awesome. OC's will in fact be in this story but only a few. The strange device called 'D' looks like a Ghost from Destiny. Also the plot is KIND OF Star Wars style but I made it in a PJO kind of style. The plots different but some of the things are Star Wars kind of things…but is different I promise…don't like it don't read it. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2. The Golden Age

As the whole throne room was settling themselves down and getting comfortable Bianca decided to open the book and begin reading.

Chapter 2. The Golden Age and Acceptance

As Nico began to travel he thought about the recent changes in his world.

"Wait were reading about Nico!" Bianca said in shock.

The demigods next to her nodded their heads and even the Greeks did.

Bianca felt REALLY uncomfortable reading her little brothers thoughts but never the less continued to read.

One month after the end of the Giant War and Gaea's defeat the demigods had taken action.

Everyone in the throne room cheered at the fact that they had won the war.

Percy and Annabeth kissed as did Piper and Jason. Leo was doing a happy jig and many of the Greeks were hugging each other while the Romans were also celebrating.

However a couple of minutes after celebrating they decided to let Bianca continue to read.

The newly forged alliance between the Romans and the Greeks had caused a stir in the world they lived in. Monsters fled and barely acknowledged themselves and the demigods had taken this opportunity with full force.

"What does that mean?" asked a young daughter of Venus.

"Listen and we will find out." said a older child of Vulcan.

The demigods on both sides began creating a nation of sorts. They built a city close to Camp Half-Blood called New Greece and had begun building forts all over the American nation. Businesses opened up marketing trades and a whole new nation was built in less than three years. The demigods even managed to build a citadel in Alaska.

The whole room was in shock.

"That sounds amazing!" said Annabeth with wide eyes.

"Indeed that must have caused great happiness on Olympus since that made risks less likely and allowed their demigod children a ton more safety." said Reyna.

Percy was holding hands with Annabeth and was smiling at the thought of this bright future.

Bianca however was only interested in hearing about her brother and so continued to read.

The united camps and factions on both sides caused Olympus to act a bit more mature and Zeus himself allowed the gods to help with the making of this nation.

The gods stared at Zeus with wide eyes.

"Apparently I thought it was a good idea so don't go looking at me like I am crazy." said Zeus.

Bianca continued to read.

Of course there had to be order in this new nation to keep balance and order. So originally a group of powerful demigods had created what they called 'The Demigod Council' which they oversaw the protection of the nation and Olympus. The members on the council were many famous demigods and some of the elder demigods that were in the council. Many of these demigods included, Percy Jackson, Jason Grace, Annabeth Chase, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque, Thalia Grace, Reyna Arellano, the eldest and some consider best demigods Kai Jinn and Master Ambrose and the last member was Nico Di Angelo.

Many of the demigods spoken looked shocked that they were on said council but didn't know the other two.

"Who are Kai Jinn and Master Ambrose?" asked a little girl a daughter of Demeter.

The gods themselves answered this question.

"They are two powerful old demigods but Ambrose is the eldest being at least over 500 years old he is currently traveling the world. Kai is merely around 75 but both are still incredible warriors. Ambrose was blessed with his long age by Hebe and Kai was living in seclusion for many years." said Athena.

Many of the demigods were shocked but never the less accepted it. However Bianca was shocked her brother was so high in a position of power.

She continued to read on.

Of course the council didn't make the laws or rules but merely upheld them.

The ones that DID make the rules were made in the Senate where every year a new Chancellor was elected by popular vote to lead the nation which was basically a republic for that year. The senate building was in New Rome but the Chancellor and the Senate didn't over see the army of Camp Jupiter that was done by the praetors Frank and Reyna.

"Frank is the new praetor?" said a few surprised Romans.

Frank blushed in embarrassment but Hazel smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Good job buddy." said Percy.

Bianca *who was seriously getting annoyed by the interruptions* continued to read on.

Ever since the Republic was formed things have been going very well for the demigod world. The gods and demigods called it their Golden Age and to be honest it was true. The current Chancellor has been doing a decent job and the whole nation was in a state of plenty and greatness. However as everyone was happy and getting better only Nico was the one who felt less and less accepted.

Hazel sobbed a bit at that and Percy hung his head in shame as did Hades and Thalia.

Bianca looked shocked. "Why does Nico not feel excepted?" she asked truly confused.

No one answered so she decided to continue reading hoping the book would reveal more.

However there was only two places and two people who he felt that he truly belonged. The first place was The Underworld and the second was Hazel's Home and the two people were Lady Hesita and Hazel.

Bianca stopped at that. "Why…why does he not feel accepted around me?….and why would he feel accepted in The Underworld?" she asked.

No one answered.

Hazel was smiling slightly at how Nico felt accepted by her and even Hestia smiled at bit.

Both camps and the seven frowned at that and even Hades shook his head.

Bianca who was desperate to learn more about her brother continued to read.

Nico thought about all this as he stepped out of the shadows into Hazel's apartment where she lived with Frank.

The moment he was out of the shadows he saw her. His amazing beautiful sister standing by the window looking out at the busy streets of New Rome and Camp Jupiter shining in the distance.

Nico stepped forward and made himself known. "Hey Hazel." he said with a small smile.

Bianca gasped. "Y..you….your are sister!" she said surprised towards Hazel.

Hazel gave her a small smile and wave. "I am your half sister technically." she said to Bianca.

Bianca looked at Hazel with complete shock. "Wow I never thought I had a sister before." said Bianca with a small smile.

Hazel smiled back at her a bit.

Bianca continued to read on.

Hazel turned around and when she saw Nico she smiled brightly and ran and hugged him tightly.

"Nico its been a month!" she said with happiness.

Hazel and Bianca's smiles immediately dropped.

"He has not been around us for a month?" said a sad looking Percy.

Annabeth held his hand tighter giving him a small smile.

Bianca wanted to learn why her brother felt like he was not accepted by them so she continued to read.

Nico loved the feeling of her hugs. It was the only hug he would truly allow. He hugged her back and soon they parted.

Hazel smiled at that liking that her brother loved her hugs.

Bianca felt saddened that he has not spoken of her nor if he loved her hugs feeling a bit jealous of Hazel.

Hazel walked over to her couch and sat down patting her hand on the couch side. Nico walked over and sat next to her.

"How have you been Nico we have not really seen you much…not even at the council meetings." she said.

Nico sighed out loud and leaned back into the couch.

"I have been traveling trying to find a place to feel more accepted." Nico said in a small voice.

Hazel frowned and put her hand on Nico's shoulder.

"Nico…we accept you, your their friend, cousin and your my elder brother. We all accept you." said Hazel.

"She is right we do accept you." said Percy looking at the book with a frown.

Thalia nodded her head.

"Death Breath may be a bit weird but I care for him…even if he is a man." said Thalia.

Hazel smiled brightly at the two cousins and Bianca felt herself more and more confused.

'Nico is not like the little boy I knew…he seems sadder more broken and dark…what happened to him?' she thought.

The Greeks AND the Romans both however didn't look anyone in the eye knowing that they didn't truly accept the child of Hades which made them feel VERY guilty.

Bianca continued to read on.

Nico said nothing knowing she was just saying that to convince herself. Unlike Hazel who everyone and everything loved he would never be accepted for he was a Child of Hades and thus all children of Hades have horrible endings. Hazel was a daughter of Pluto not Hades even if their the same being Pluto's children have always been more accepted than Hades.

Bianca froze after reading that. She looked up at Hades who was looking at her with a small tiny smile. She stared at her father.

"Your…your my…dad?" she said shocked.

No one spoke even the gods knew this was important.

Hades nodded his head. "Yes you are my daughter…your my daughter." he said with a small smile.

Bianca looked at her father with shock and began to understand certain things.

Why Nico felt accepted in The Underworld and why he didn't feel accepted by most…but what about her..how come he never mentioned her.

After getting over this revelation Bianca began to read once again.

"Thats a kind thought Hazel but we both know thats not true." Nico replied.

Hazel frowned at Nico and began to hug him tightly.

"Do not worry Nico I promise you will be treated better…I promise." she said with a small voice.

Nico didn't want her the make promises she couldn't keep but never the less accepted her hug.

Later that night Nico laid in Hazel's guest bedroom on the bed thinking about recent events. He had never fully recovered what happened to him during his capture by the Giants.

Bianca froze in shock and terror. 'My little baby brother…little Nico…captured by…giants…' she thought with pain.

Hazel had started to cry again being held by Frank while the rest of the room looked at the book in sympathy of guilt.

Hades felt rage consume him at that part. 'What had those monsters done to my son!'

Bianca wanting to learn what had happened began to read.

Being held in that golden jar for weeks unable to move unable to eat anything going into a Death Trance and eating pomegranate seeds. It was like torture…and hadn't healed from his injures that he had gotten in…..that place.

Hazel cried even harder and Hades himself showed sorrow at what happened to his son.

Percy looked murderous and so did Thalia.

Annabeth tried to calm Percy down a bit which worked a little.

Bianca felt like crying but steeled herself and continued to read on.

Then after being rescued watching the horrible sight that broke his heart and then having to shadow travel a giant statue across the globe didn't help. He had almost faded out of existence.

The whole throne room gasped.

"Why would he do that! Shadow Travel has limits and that is going BEYOND its limits." said a pale Hades.

The gods kinda felt for him. His child was a prisoner of war and thus was treated horribly.

Bianca wanted to get past this part as quickly as possible so began to read again.

Nico never felt so broken…not even as bad as when he learned that Bianca his elder sister had died.

Bianca froze at that.

Everyone looked at her with frowns and sad faces.

Percy had his hands on his face repeating the words "Its all my fault." over and over again.

Annabeth tried to comfort him.

Hades looked like he was about to cry.

Hazel WAS crying and Frank was holding her.

Thalia had also started to cry a bit as well.

"I..I…I…I died..I am dead…I left Nico….alone…" Bianca said with a horrible small voice.

"I am so sorry Bianca." said Percy.

Everyone in the room looked over at Percy.

"I..I didn't stop you from trying to destroy a giant robot…I should have been that one to died not you…" he said and began to cry.

Annabeth clung to him and began to cry as well. "DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT WHAT ABOUT ME HOW WOULD I FEEL!" she said.

Thalia looked at Bianca and shook her head. "I should have done it you would have taken Zoe's place and I would be dead…a win win." she said miserably.

Jason looked at Thalia and ran over and hugged her. "No your my sister and I just found you…I would NEVER want you to die." he said in a hoarse voice.

Everyone watched as the demigods in the front broke down and kept blaming each other but Bianca had enough.

"Its not any of yours fault…I apparently chose to die…I will see Nico again…eventually I will see him again." she said with a small smile.

Bianca had felt horrible now. She had abandoned her brother..HER BROTHER for a new family…she abandoned him for MAN HATING hunters…that meant that she would never truly see him much anymore. She had done that willingly and had left her little brother who was only ten years old alone…what kind of sister was she?

Due to Bianca unable to read Artemis *who felt bad for her former hunter* summoned the book to her and she began to read again.

Never the less he did his job and of course he was hailed only then as a hero…but after a few weeks people once again began to slowly go back into their fear and dislike for him until finally they couldn't even stand to be near him.

Bianca began to tear a bit.

Percy felt such rage consume him but before he could speak a word Hazel blew up before him.

"HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE!" she cried out.

A miniature earthquake began to happen.

"NICO SAVED ALL ARE LIVES AND THIS IS THE RESPECT AND LOVE HE GETS!" she continued to scream.

The ground shook harder.

"YOU ARE ALL DISGUST ME!" she cried out at last and then fell into Franks arms crying her eyes out.

The tremors had stopped and the demigods in both camps shivered in fear. It was easy to underestimate the power that Hazel possessed but she WAS a member of The Seven, a daughter of Pluto, a member on this Demigod Council. and of course a old powerful demigod.

Artemis *tho she herself was a bit frightened* continued to read.

Nico did not let this bother him however for he was used to it. Unfortunately it still hurt for him to be around other demigods unlike him and even tho he and his cousin Thalia were on good terms he had no love for The Hunters of Artemis.

Artemis frowned at that while Bianca flinched. Thalia merely just gave a small smile.

They were just a reminder that his sister Bianca had chosen them over him…a new family. Nico nearly teared up at the memory of her telling him that she was leaving him…how unloved he felt…how unwanted he felt.

That did if for Bianca as she began to burst into tears. She felt horrible than ever to here the only family member you knew for years your own little brother who looked up to you in love to say that…it hurt ALOT.

Thalia *tho feeling sad* walked over and rubbed Bianca's back while Hazel walked over to help calm her sister.

When Bianca was calm again Artemis began to read…and for the the first time in history she actually thought about all the families she had most likely destroyed by taking more hunters.

But Nico did not cry…he never truly cried anymore for it was a sign of weakness.

Ares and his children nodded but many of the other occupants in the room disagreed saying it was natural.

Nico slowly began to fall asleep again and this time no nightmares haunted him dreaming only of a life with him and his sister alone and happy.

Hazel gave another small smile.

When Nico awoke at 6am he got up and did a couple of pushups and sit-ups as a workout before taking a shower and getting dressed. When he got to the living room he saw Hazel sitting down watching in fascination about the wonders of a 'iPad'.

Many in the room laughed at that while Hazel blushed deeply.

"Morning Hazel I see you are learning about the iPad." said Nico.

Hazel turned and smiled at him before turing back to the device. "Morning Nico this thing is truly fascinating I am in love with it." she said.

Nico gave a small chuckle as he ate some toast before preparing to leave before Hazel stopped him.

"Nico…we have a council meeting soon…will you be there its very important its about the latest news in the Senate." she said.

Nico didn't want to go but knew it was important if the Senate was involved.

"Great now we can learn more about are nation!" said a excited Annabeth.

"Very well Hazel I understand…I will meet you at the temple." he replied to her.

Hazel smiled and turned around and went back to her work. Nico entered the shadows and began to travel towards The Hero's Temple.

"Thats the end of the chapter." said Artemis.

The whole room looked either excited, bored, or sad. Many were excited to learn more about the way there new nation worked while some were bored about reading a book. The sad ones were most of the Seven and those up front.

Bianca wished to learn of what her choice was after death and was scared to know. She wanted Nico to forgive her…she wanted her baby brother back.

"Who will read next?" asked Artemis.

Athena rose her hand. "I will I wish to learn about this nation." she said. Artemis passed her the book and Athena opened up to prepare to read.

Ok Done. SO SO SOOO Sorry for the long wait. High School is a pain in the ass and I just got out of a writers block. 'The Dark Phoenix' is on hold for now and this story has my full attention. Now I will update as soon as I can. Hope you enjoyed.
