Nico's POV

I collasped, my knees hitting the mossy floor, tears fell down my face, I was a sobbing child again, a mess, tattered clothes and bleeding wounds, I was hiding in the shadows, again, like last time when I was wrestling with my emotions, my love and hate for percy, my confusion and depression. I kept crying, hyperventilating now, feeling enmptiness in my heart, the same emptiness trying to take over my head. I was a depressed wreck of a person, I screamed and screamed, my vocal chords straining. I sat down on the floor, pulling at my hair, one single tear fell down and they stopped, I gave in to myself.

I would hurt them, hurt them all, just so they felt the pain.

I hated myself but I hated the Gods more, that fucking narcisstic rapist, that piece of shit Zeus, I would make him bleed, bleed and cry, feel the sharp raw relentess mortal pain I feel, make him feel the cruel feeling of grief, of regret and self hatred,  and all the other meglomaniacs who sat around Olmypus letting my sister die, I was going to hurt them as much as they hurt me, only justice. No Mercy. My eyes were bloodshot and emotionless again. The only way to stop the pain was to not feel at all, I was dreamlessly wandering around the forest I was in, it was breathtaking, a place to think, to lose yourself, the sun hiding over the trees, birds flitting across the landscape, clouds drifting through the trees as my boots crunch against the ground, it was laden with plants, all wild and different, untamed and untouched, I wished to stay here forever, forget everything and get lost in the nature, the jagged rocks and twisting vines imprisoning  the trees, it was reminding me of pan, another person who ignored me, who kept away from me, I remember how he talked to them all but left out me, I felt excluded again ( when have I not felt like that?) a part of me longed for it, the tranquility, the natural beauty, but I wouldn't listen to that would I? The peaceful moment I had was ruined.

Percy's POV

We had won the war. But at to much of a loss, Hazel was dead and Leo was "gone" we had no idea if he was dead because Nico was... gone, we had sent Coach Hedge on a search for him, I had no idea what had happened to him, but all I knew is that he was fine. I had made the assumption he could survive anything after seeing him in the battle, I wasn't sure why, I should be worried for the guy but insted of feeling worried, I felt afraid, how was he going deal with Hazel's death and what would he do? I should go think it other with Annabeth, she always has a plan, I began walking over to her cabin.

Nico's POV

I heard a rustling behind me, a twig snapping and I swerved around to see Coach Hedge, he jumped back in suprise shocked at how I had become, "uh hi Nico, do u wanna come back to camp, they, they have been uhh looking for you know, worried too" he bleated out timidly, I let a manical smile spread across my face, "of course" I answered in mock politeness.

Coach Hedge POV

I walked across the forest, birds flitting through the trees, the sun attempting the task of getting through the trees, shining onto patches of wilderness, illuminating the plants, I felt calm for once, not in a rush, a manic race to do something. Unknowingly walking onto a clearing,  thinking about the beauty of the nature, then I saw him, black shaggy hair, ripped dark clothes, it was who I was searching for. Nico Di Angelo, he turned quickly and I saw him, his gaunt face, it was laden with scars and his body was covered with blood, his black eyes looked darker and more sunken, but also with a manical glint to them, I jumped back in shock and also.. fear and then tried to regain composure and ask him to camp, after responding he just smiled,   I slowly retreated, terrified by the boy.
