Nico's POV:
How to describe walking through tartarus isn't easy. Being blind in a ghost train would be the only comparison. You jump at anything, a chill is constantly running down your back. But I must find it. I must destroy it.
You probably might have guess what it is. If not here's the explanation, be grateful for my explanation as its scary to talk about. It is Chaos. To put that into concept Chaos is Gaia's great grandfather and Zeus's great great great grandfather. The biggest bad guy. And I alone is going to fight him.
I pray to my father. Pleading him to let me be reborn again with Binnica when I die. She probably wont look the same or even know who I am, but I would be reunited with her, that is my only wish. I miss Leo's off context comments. Me and him are strange friends. We only met a week ago and he's a jokester and a optimist. I am mister gloom and doom. Scrap the only wish, I have two ; to be reunited with Binnica and to be able to say goodbye to Leo.
The ground shakes, when I say shake I mean rumble like its about to explode. It brings me out of my little daydream. Chaos must be near. I get out my sword, normally it glow a icy blue slightly, but with no light its completely black. I carry on walking. I will win, I will not loose, I will survive no matter what it takes, I tell myself. I don't believe it, but I am trying to take a leaf out of Leo's book.
I must of just turned a corner, because now I can see it, Chaos.
Its just one big mass of molten rock roughly shaped it to something human like. A wave of nausea hits me like a train. I almost fall down. I raise my sword and pick up a run. About 100 meters from it, I am thrown backwards, my arms flail about in the air. I meet the ground the a painful crash. I cant feel my right leg, it must be broken. Broken like my feelings and my heart. There must be some kind of barrier, then suddenly I feel like I am flying, like shadow traveling but in the air. The fear is strong, but so is the anxious feeling in my gut. I arrive at what must be the destination.
I look around I seem to be in some kind of cage, but the bars are twisted iron reinforced by celestial bronze. There is no way I am getting out. But why have I been brought here?
My question is answered almost immediately, I turn and I am face to face with Chaos. But not in the force I just saw, his more human form.
How do I know this? Well he has a name tag saying "Chaos" attached to his black jacket. He was wearing a black tie, his shirt was untucked and he had cutoff black trousers. He reminds me of somebody, put I cant pin point who.
"I know your intentions Nico Di Angelo, and I can ashore you they will not be carried out." He paused giving me a typical villain smile, "I also know your friend Percy Jackson and his ships intention."
What? I thought, They only intention was to return to the USA. Unless Percy had changed his mind, he better not have.
"I will destroy them and their ship till only ashes remain, and you shall watch them die from this cage, not able to help them." He let out a evil laugh.
I felt helpless as per normal.
