Oh... my... gods. It's really the end. Is it weird to feel like crying? This is the final chapter of Fading Slowly- but I promise to post other fics. This one might might be a bit of a tear-jerker, I don't know. Ending are always sad. LOVE YOU LITTLE NERDS! 3

NICO P.O.V.

1 YEAR LATER

Eros had been defeated exactly one year ago today. It was also the anniversary of something else- something that caused Nico pain to even think about. And do you want to know how Nico was spending this special day? Battling, of course!

Nico had been sent to help a saytr who was struggling to bring a powerful demigod back to camp. They had been ambushed minutes before by a lamia- a greek monster who preyed on children (A/N Thanks Wikipedia!)

The satyr had already been killed by an arrow to the head by the disturbingly human- like creature. And now Nico di Angelo himself had been hit, leaving only the scared, untrained little demigod girl.

Hand still clutching his wound, Nico stumbled over to the child.

"Anna, you have to go!" (A/N Named after my best friend- and big supporter of my writing- Anna!) Nico spit out. "Up the hill, run towards the big pine tree. I know I sound crazy, but I need you to trust me. Take this!" He handed her his Stygian Iron sword. "Go!" Nico told the girl, voice rising and getting hoarser with every word.

The older demigod turned away from the demigod who was now sprinting up the hill and back to face the lamia. She wasn't pretty in the slightest, she looked more like a tortured demon from the depths of Tartarus rather than a former princees gone loco.

Nico simply smiled at the slowly approaching creature, and moved his hand away from his stomach room. His vision went black as he began to fall to the cold ground.

What seemed like seconds later, he found himself standing a few yards from the gates of elysium. Nico was confused. He hadn't been sent through the typical routine for newly dead... maybe it was a perk of being a child of the underworld?

Nico began to walk slowly and catiously towards the heaven of the underworld. When he was a couple of yards from the entrance, he noticed a tall, tan demigod with sun kissed blond hair and stunning blue eyes. Will, Nico thought with a jolt. He began to sprint towards him.

Nico had never been one for physical contact- but this was different. Not many people knew what it was like to lose the one person they had left in the world. But he had him back now, and he was never letting go again.

Nico had reached Will in seconds, pulling him into a long hug that was returned by the older demigod. They stood like that for a little bit, ecstatic to be with each other again.

When they finally broke apart, Will grabbed Nicos hand and began to pull him into Elysium- a serene smile on his face.

Hand in hand, the two demigods walked into Elysium- a final and eternal happy ending
