Summary: (REWRITE) NORMAL isn't something in a demigod's vocab. So being tossed back in time to the Roman Empire around 0 B.C. is... a standard demigod life. Read at the Prophecy of Seven plus Reyna, Thalia, and Nico meet each other before TLH and band together to rewrite the Forgotten Mythological story of Cosima Mother of the Universe
Rating: K+ language mostly
Pairings: Percabeth defiantly along with Thalico upon my dear friend Summerspirit18's request along with any other ones you want, minus Jasper.
Spoiler/Warning: Hmm... Fourth chapter. I have decided to be a meanie and have every fourth chapter follow the POV of someone else until they meet up with Cosima, Annabeth, and Percy; but you'll kinda, maybe, not really get what they hell is going on. This one, as you can see form the chap. title, will follow a wonderful Nico son of Hades. This chapter will have fluff Supporting Thalico, ah I love Thalico! Give me a moment to fan girl…*stars screaming and gushing over Thalico*… Okay go and read! Oh! One more thing, just because Thalia is Thalia and Nico is Nico there will be cursing in this chapter. (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus blah blah I am just doing this for fun blah blah I am not Rick Roirdan blah blah. Okay! Continue reading my rewrite!
Nico IV
Nico groaned as he opened his eyes to see the bright happy blue sky above him, this instantly deflated Nico's spirits. It wasn't like he was a total emo kid, but when you spend enough time in a place like the Underworld you grow accustomed to treating life as a four-letter word. Sitting up the son of Hades made a quick synopsis of his surroundings.
Bright green trees; obviously summer time what a drag, the sounds of birds, giggling nymphs, the wind ruffling the leaves in the trees, the light breathing of Thalia Grace as she lay a foot away from him, a few clouds… Wait! Thalia!
Nico's head shot back to her clothes torn, and disheveled her bow and quiver tossed aimlessly to the side, Nico's heart stopped. Oh gods no! Jumping up Nico looked at his clothes, they were ripped too. Panic set in, Nico was SO dead; if Thalia didn't get him first her father would. What was worse is his mind began to fantasize what happened seeing as his memory had yet to come forth. Nico mechanically walked over to a tree and began to hit his head against it.
"Why me? Oh gods why me?" Nico mumbled over and over again, that's when he felt something smack him a top the head, boy it hurt like hell!
"Knock it off jerkoid!" the nymph of the apple tree Nico was banging his head against yelled. It was only then that Nico finally noticed the two piles of neatly folded clothes, wasting no time Nico took the black pile before dashing behind one of the trees. It was at this time that Thalia choose to wake up with a groan of something between anger and exhaustion.
Thalia sat up slowly every muscle in her body screaming for her to just give up and collapse right where she was, looking down at her clothes she made a précis that she had been fighting… something and was separated from her sisters. She looked in her quiver some of the arrows were still bloody; yup definitely a fight. Only a few moments later she heard the snapping of twigs.
Back for more huh? Thalia though grimly as she sifted around to see who it was Thalia clutched an arrow in her hand still seated on the ground.
The sight she was met with made her blush profusely which made no sense seeing as she was a huntress!
But she just couldn't help it! When her secret-even-to-yourself-crush is standing right in front of her looking VERY handsome instead of like a dork he usually was even she would have blushed, which see DID.
There stood Nico in a black toga that went to his knees and was worn at the ends with a thin golden belt, and black unruly hair that surely wasn't combed. He had brown worn sandals coming apart all over. His skin was pale and he had his brows scrunched up in worry as he kneeled down a foot away from Thalia the back of his hand on her forehead.
"You okay Thals?" Nico had a faint blush on his cheeks, though this went completely unnoticed by Thalia who was trying not to let her blush become apparent, 'course it didn't really work.
And because she was Thalia Grace she just HAD to do something to make it worse.
Thalia slapped his hand away jumping up as she ignore the searing pain and the black dots that dance a crossed her vision. Taking advantage of Nico's stunned expression Thalia grabbed her quiver and the pile of clothing on the ground.
"Next time make sure to stay the Hades away from me Death Breath." Thalia mumbled her back turned to him. This gave her two advantages one; he could not see the blush that painted its way onto her cheeks, giving her a cute look that was quite alien to the usually scary Grace. Two; he also couldn't see the tear that slid down her cheek as Thalia practically mentally scolded herself to the breaking point on how stupid she was for driving Nico away.
I really am a fucking idiot. Thalia presumed as she ran ahead dashing behind a tree so Nico couldn't see her in this pathetic and useless state.
"Thalia!" Nico yelled after he regained his composer. Finding no trace of her Nico stopped his breath ragged. He didn't even notice Thalia hiding behind a tree not three yards away. "Man di Angelo you are the biggest fuckin' idiotic animate object that was ever created! Thalia is a HUNTER and even if she wasn't you are the son of DEATH she has every right to slap and punch you 'til you die!" Nico slumped onto the grass pulling at his hair as he sighed in frustration and defeat, Thalia had to practically glue herself to the tree to stop herself form going over to Nico. "She would NEVER like me, who am I kidding?"
Standing up after a minute of silence Nico got up, and what surprised Thalia is she saw the tears he whipped away as he tried to calm himself. He continued to walk forward calling Thalia's name. After he had passed her by a few yards Thalia came out from behind the tree and ran towards Nico.
"Death Breath! Wait up!" Nico cringed at his nickname, death, it really did follow him around everywhere he went. Thankfully Thalia was too worried about making another stupid mistake to notice Nico's split second reaction. "I think it would be better if we were together seeing as we have no idea where we are."
Way to be shitty obvious Sherlock! Thalia had to restrain herself from doing a face palm out of ultimate stupidity she showed. Though Nico noticed her mistake he decided not to comment; teleporting made you do weird things 'til you got used to it. Personal experience was the founder of that knowledge.
Looking at Thalia, Nico came to two conclusions one; he was taller than her, sure it was only by a mere two or three inches but it was still taller none the less, Nico had to smirk for that one.
Two; she was so beautiful wearing the ancient Roman outfit. She had on a navy blue tunic that went to her knees it had a few pop-seems and the edges were ruff and frayed. She had on dark brown sandals with laces that crisscrossed all the way up to her lower calf, her hair had been braided by one of her sisters before she had disappeared but her bangs still partly hid her dazzling electric blue eyes. Her bleached ash wood bow was slung around her shoulder it had a red cedar riser handle.
"So I take it you don't mind?" Thalia mumbled turning away from staring straight into his eyes a blush creeping up on her face, which only made her look even more attractive.
"N-No I don't mind at all, Pinecone." Nico stated casually hoping that she didn't pay too much attention to his slip up, thankfully she was too preoccupied on something else. Most likely getting back to the hunters. Nico found this the most logical thing she would think about.
Oh how wrong he was…
Walking around in circles, Thalia swore that was what they had been doing for the past few hours, this was the fifth time they had past that pre-ripe apple tree Thalia was sure of it. And she was not a happy camper, which wasn't too much of a help for Nico being the King of Ghost he could feel her spirit which right know was exercising some pretty colorful language.
We have being going around in CIRCLES! This is bloody Hades I want out of this shitty nightmare! Curse my sisters, when I see them again by Apollo's jewels I will make sure they go through a torture worse than hell! Nico chuckled at the last part, leave it to Thalia to think about something like that.
"Do you enjoy my pain Death Breath?" Thalia growled as she folded her arms with a scowl. Nico laughed again while he ruffled Thalia's hair.
"It's kinda cute Thals." Nico said before he even though about was he was doing, and Thalia's blush just made it even better.
That's when it happened the power something that could only be an immortal flooded the forest they were in causing Thalia to stumble back, her exhaustion coming back to her, thankfully Nico was there to keep her up. A strong gust of wind began to encase the two leaves and petals flying all over until it just stopped and black object began to ooze forth from the shadows of the trees. If flowed down to Nico's feet before building itself up in front of the two talking the shape black outline of a teenage girl.
The onyx human looking two dimensional girl like thing bowed before Nico and Thalia.
"Daughter of Lightning, Son of Riches." She said though her voice was soft and kind it still held power that caused the two to shiver. She was a complete shadow of black expect for two glowing golden dots that were her eyes and whenever she opened her mouth you could see it glow a vibrant maroon color of her mouth.
"Yes?" Nico felt as though their rolls should be switched this being obviously held enormous power it was him who should be bowing.
"I am Cosima Mother of the Universe. I haven't much time, but I have called you here along with others. It is mostly likely apparent that I need your help, you will be sent back to your time when I have enough power to fully awaken. For now you must gather the others and meet at the base of Mt. Olympus in Thessaly." The girl began to flicker in and out and her body started fading. "Take this, it will help you." The girl's body morphed into four daggers. "You will know which one to use." Suddenly her power receded and in only a millisecond it was gone as if it were never there. The sudden change was too much for Thalia's weak state in she passed out. Scooping up the daggers Nico hooked them to his belt before taking a Limp Thalia into his arms bridal style.
"Who am I took look for first?" Nico asked aloud for he knew Cosima could hear him.
Look for the one called Jason Grace, Ghost King. The girl's voice rang clear in his head
A.N. Dun, dun, dun! Things are really getting good, you still don't know what/who HE is from the previous chapter. Don't worry I'll drop a couple hints here and there. So… I have decided to bring Jason in next, do you want me to do Jayna or not? Hope you liked it this one was 1776 word not including the beginning and ending ANs, I am hoping to get the next chapter up before May 11, 2013 I might even get it up today! That would be sweet!
Please review I spent so long trying to make this fluffy while still keeping the plot going, hehe don't think that worked. But above all I demand that you, Summerspirit18, tell me what you think of this Thalico chapter I gave you just like you requested. And for anyone who doesn't like Thalico sorry I can't please everyone just bear with me.
Ta-Ta
