Nico stared into the waters of the well and gazed into it. There was an old plaque covered in moss and vines which said 'For centuries, local legend has claimed that mystical waters run beneath this great land. It is said that these waters posses the power to return that which is lost to it's rightful place. If you have lost something precious to you, drink from this well and bear witness to this miracle as what is missing shall be returned.'

"Doubt it," said Nico. "What I've lost will never return but I may as well give it a try."

Nico lowered the bucket down with the rope and then pulled it up and the bucket arose with water gushing in it and Nico took a sip. Suddenly, his sword came glowing towards him and into his hands.

"Nico!" shouted a voice and Nico turned around to see it was Hazel who was with Percy and Regina.

"Why would you do that?!" shouted Hazel as she hugged him. "You scared me!"

"You scared all of us," said Percy. "We thought that this villain got you."

"Well, I'm fine." said Nico. "Just thinking... about Bianca."

"What happened to her?" asked Regina.

"She was my sister, we came fresh out of the Lotus Casino and we got a taxi to Kansas but when we got there, a green tornado snatched us and brought us to Oz. From there, we served Zelena and she promised she'd give us information on our parents but eventually she let us go after a meeting with a fellow villain. She let us go back to our world with no information; we were back at square one."

"That's why you're mad at her?"

"No, she said something to Bianca; she said how younger siblings ruin everything and to let me go and she did when she joined the Hunters of Artemis. She died during a quest."

"I'm so sorry..."

"It's fine, I'm used to loss at this point, it's become a hobby at this point. I just have to believe I'll never get happiness again."

"No, Nico, I am used to loss as well. I loved someone once before but he was killed by my mother. She ripped his heart out and literally crushed it in front of my eyes. He was just a stable boy but I loved him but my mother wanted me to have a life which she never had."

"Cora, was it?"

"Yes, she was the miller's daughter but later I banished her to Wonderland where she became the Queen of Hearts."

"I'm sorry, Regina. Back in Oz, Zelena described how you had the perfect life."

"It wasn't at all perfect, after I banished my mother, Mr Gold taught me magic and that's when the reign of the Evil Queen came. I was angry at Snow White for revealing a secret that ended Daniel's life."

"I thought you hated her because she was more beautiful." said Percy.

"No, I was jealous. Even when I married her father, he always called her his treasure and I never had happiness until later. Robin Hood."

"See Nico, people can get happiness." said Hazel. "And so can you."

"Actually no, Robin was murdered by Hades later on. Our Hades, not yours."

"Oh..."

"But Hazel is right, I may not have found my happy ending yet but you can. You have many years ahead of you."

"Thanks Regina." said Nico. "So you never found love again?"

"There was someone who I briefly loved but... that was a long time ago and I never met him since."

"Who was he?" asked Percy.

"That's besides the point, the point is, Nico you have lots of time to find love and I can feel you're already in love with someone."

"His name's Will." said Nico. "Son of Apollo. It might make me gay but I still love him. It might be weird for you, seeing..."

"Not at all! I have two friends in Oz who love each other, Ruby and Dorothy. Ruby is Little Red Riding Hood and Dorothy never came in my curse so she's the very Dorothy."

"That's sweet." said Hazel. "Anyways, we should be heading back."

"Yes, let's go."

The four of them came to Granny's where Mary Maragret was waiting for them.

"Hey Nico." she said. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah." said Nico.

"What convinced you to come here?"

"Regina, she showed me even after what Zelena did, I can still find new happiness, can you let her know that I forgive her?"

"Sure, I'm sure she'd be pleased."

Nico, Hazel and Percy made their way to the room where everyone else was.

"Nico!" they all said, hugging him.

"Hey guys, I still don't like hugs." he replied.

"Does it look like we care?" asked Jason.

"Who do you think Regina loved in the past?" asked Hazel.

"What are we talking about?" asked Piper and they told them the story.

"Dang, I feel bad for her." said Leo.

"Perhaps he was a villain as well." said Jason.

"Or maybe a hero? She loved Robin Hood." said Annabeth.

"Maybe but I still wonder, who is he?" asked Nico.
