Nico pov:

I smile at Will as he tells another one of his lame jokes. Life has gotten better for me and surprisingly I am happy. Some days I hang out with Thalia and we talk about our lives. We never mention death or the fact that some of our friends are depressed. We don't mention how much of a wreck Piper is and how much she blames herself over Annabeth's death.

"Will is a nice boy. I can't wait for your wedding." I shake my head baffled. "We're not going to get married anytime soon. We just met." Thalia smirks at me. "I can only hope." I lay back and Thalia suggests going out to a water park. I raise an eyebrow at her. "Why?" She shrugs and stands up. "Why not? Lets bring the whole camp. It can be a field trip of sorts." She runs off and I shake my head in disbelief. That girl is crazy.

As I approach the big house, I see a huge crowd of people. Wow, Thalia works fast. I muscle my way through the crowd and climb the steps. Chiron trots out and I manage to get a good look at him. He has huge bags under his eyes and he slumps when he gallops like he can't support his weight anymore. He manages a smile when he catches me looking. "It has come to Thalia's attention that we all need a break. I fully agree with her." He looks at Lady Artemis. "If it's okay with you my lady, Thalia wants to have the hunters go as well." She nods and gives a small smile. "As a matter of fact, we have a water park that is protected by enchantments. If you want we can go there and I can invite the Olympians." Excited chatter starts up within the campers at the prospect they will be able to see the Olympians up close. Chiron nods and tells the cabin leaders to go gather their cabins and file in front of the Big House.

I go to my cabin and grab a drachma. Then I head outside and create a rainbow. I throw it in. "Show me Reyna." She went back to Camp Jupiter a couple weeks ago. The iris message focuses and it shows Reyna sternly talking to a kid. He looks very frightened and I decide to save him. "Reyna don't be so hard on the kid." She whirls around and has her sword out in an instant. "Oh its you." She sheaths her sword and orders the kid to go back to training. He bows and leaves.

"What's up?" She adjusts her braid. "Well...our whole camp is having a water park party with the Olympians and I was wondering if you wanted to come. Also it is your birthday and you haven't done anything. I have a surprise for you." She narrows her eyes and agrees. "Alright...but if you plan to prank me, you will be gravely sorry." She swipes through the message and I leave the cabin.

When I walk outside, I am hounded by Will. "Where have you been? The gods are transporting the campers now." I start to walk to the big house and he follows. "I was just iris messaging Reyna." He doesn't say anything and we join the crowd of campers. I am ordered to go to Hades since he is my father. They start to transport by cabin. The first cabin to go is the Athena cabin. Before they flash away, I notice the sad look on Athena's face. She must still feel the pain of Annabeth's death. Poseidon looks worse. He has bags under his eyes and his attitude is dull. He isn't joking around or smiling. That's when I remember he has no kids left in his cabin except Tyson and he is still in his underwater palace working with the Cyclopes. Before I know it, Will has left for his father and all the cabins are gone. I stand with Poseidon and my father. "Okay time to go Nico." He puts a hand on my shoulder. I feel the sensation of an elephant sitting on my chest before I open my eyes and I can breath again.

In front of me is a enormous waterpark with a bunch of slides and pools. I look around in wonder. I've never been in a water park before. I hear screams as some of the younger campers go racing for the slides. Most of the older campers either head for the bigger slides or the beach that is past the water park. I walk to where Thalia is standing. She looks at me with a gleam in her eye. Then she is pulling me along to a smaller slide. "Why don't we go to that one?" I ask pointing to a huge slide that has to be about ten stories tall. It goes straight down and I see some kids screaming as they rush down the watery slide. She shakes her head. "No way." Her eyes are wide and she starts to tremble. I immediately say, "It's fine. We don't have to go on it." I instantly see her relax and she races up the stairs. Is Thalia afraid of heights? I watch the excitement play across her face and I race after her. When we reach the top, we find multiple tubes. I pick the black one obviously and sit on it.

I am just about to push myself down when someone sits right in front of me. A bunch of blonde hair clouds my eyesight and I spit hair out of my mouth. "Excuse me?" I say. Will turns around and smiles. "Oh hey Nico. Come on let's go." I stare at him in disbelief. "You can't just go into my tube and this is only made for one person." Before I can protest, he pushes us down the slide. Water sprays into my face and I feel a huge adrenaline rush. It feels great. I have never felt as happy as I have now. The slide ends way too soon and I get off. I watch Thalia go down. She shouts in excitement and she looks happier than she has in a long time.

I start running to the next slide. It looks majestic. It's about five stories tall with so many twist and turns that I feel sick just looking at it. I read the name of the ride. The Olympians. It says that it is made only for people with very strong stomachs. I decide to go on it because why not? When I reach the top, I start to have second thoughts. Before I can back out, a kid pushes me down it. I let out a string of curses as I am thrown around the slide. I am grateful that I didn't eat before this. When I reach the end, I am woozy and I head straight for the trashcan. I puke out all the contents from last night's dinner. "Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" I hear someone say next to me. I wipe my mouth and see Travis Stoll smirking with an arm around his girlfriend, Katie. "You pushed me!" I exclaim. He doesn't deny it but just smiles. I am about to punch him in the face but I am interrupted by someone running into me. It's a young camper and he looks terrified when he sees that he ran into me. "I'm sorry!" I just shake my head and shoo him away. I turn back to find Travis gone. Damn.

I don't see Will or Thalia anywhere so I just walk around a little. My stomach isn't ready for another ride yet, so I head for the beach. I set down a blanket and relax. It's weird to see all these demigods on a beach. Most of them have never been on an actual beach before. Surprisingly, I haven't seen any of the gods or goddesses around. Of course when I say that, one of them plops down next to me. "Hello Nico." I shut my eyes and curse. "Not happy to see me?" She asks mockingly and I turn to see the love goddess herself. She wears a bikini and I see a couple of the male campers staring. "Why would I be happy to see you?" I say and she pouts. "I just wanted to ask about Will and I was wondering how my daughter is doing." I know when she says this she is talking about Piper. Piper is kind of a sore subject around me. She inadvertently caused Percy's death and part of me doesn't want to ever forgive her. "Will is doing great and as for Piper I have no idea." Most people don't know this about Lady Aphrodite but she actually cares about her sons and daughters. She just has a weird way of showing it. "Look," I say after seeing her looking concerned. "Maybe you should just talk to her." Aphrodite ponders it and then gets up. "Maybe I will but not yet."

She stares off into the ocean. "Your mother would of been proud of you. So would Bianca." I look at her in shock not understanding."You knew my mother?" She looks at me fondly and says, "I talked to her a few times. She was a great woman." With that said, she flashes away. I sit there for a while just thinking about what she said. She knew my mother. Lady Aphrodite met my mother and I never did. I close my eyes and then hear someone calling my name.

"Nico!" I look behind me and see Reyna jogging up to me. "Glad you could make it," I say as she sits down next to me. She smiles at me. "Now where's my surprise?" Wow she is impatient. "You'll see." She gives a frustrated sigh and I just smile. I lay back and analyze her. She wears normal Jean shorts and a nice fitted tank top. "Reyna you look normal." She looks at me confused. "What?" I quickly explain myself. "I mean you look like a normal teenage girl." She smirks at me and doesn't say anything.

A couple hours pass in silence and Reyna starts to get impatient for her surprise. "Fine. Follow me." I take her to one of the food stands. "You're buying me food?" She asks confused. "No. Wait here." I go into one of the nearest bathrooms and quickly make a rainbow. I throw in the drachma and wait. "Is it time?" The person asks. I nod and close my eyes. When I open them, both woman stand in front of me smiling. "You are doing a very nice thing for her, Nico." I just give a shy smile and walk out. Reyna looks around and walks over to me when she spots me.

Before she can say anything, the two women walk out. Reyna gives a gasp and she looks at me with wide eyes. "Surprise." She tackles me in a hug and then whispers a "Thank you" before running to the women. "Hylla!" Reyna hugs her sister. "This is first time I am seeing you with no war going on. It's nice," Hylla says. Then Reyna turns to the older woman and just stares at her in wonder. "Mom?" Her voice is small like she is a little kid again. Bellona smiles and says, "I know I haven't been there for you but I want to apologize for what I did. Will you give me a chance to actually be your mother?" Reyna hesitates at first and her eyes look calculating. "I have always wanted to meet you and now that I have, I am not so sure." She looks back at me and I give a small nod. She gives a small sigh and then says, "I think I'm willing to give you a chance." Bellona smiles and hugs her daughter and I am glad I did this for her.

"There you are death breath!" Thalia calls jogging up to me. "Why were you looking for me?" I ask. "It's an emergency. We need to get to the entrance immediately." I am about to run there but Bellona stops me. "Allow me." I grab on to Thalia and Reyna and close my eyes. When I open them, we are at the entrance. "Thank you for flashing us here," I hear Thalia saying to Bellona. Wow Thalia is being nice? Something big must of happened. A huge mass of campers are making a circle around something. I push through the crowd and what I see chills me to the core. Lying in front me are people who are supposed to be dead. Lying in front of me are Annabeth, Percy, Michael Yew, Zoe, and my long dead sister Bianca.
