"Father." Nico says as he approaches Hades throne. "What is it this time?"

"Son." Hades rises from the throne Persephone to his right. She's here even though it's spring. "You know of the new prophecy."

"Don't even mention it." Nico mutters and crosses his arms.

Persephone scoffs and makes herself a flower crown and places it on her head.
Hades rises from his throne and shakes his head.

"You don't understand the severity of this prophecy it is unlike anything we have in countered before." Hades walks down his throne and pass Nico.

"What don't I understand? That something has been going on here. Something with Elysium." Nico turns and Hades still has his back turned toward him.

"It's only occurs when you're with the daughter of Bellona." Hades scowls and turns toward Nico.

"Reyna?" Nico asks in disbelief.

"Oh yes." Persephone speaks up, "Quite the roman warrior as well as beauty."

Nico scowls softly and faces his father, "Yes and what about her?"

"When you, my son and her are together Elysium stirs." Hades pauses, "Certain Heroes stir."

Nico rolls his eyes, "Is this why called me down here? Again may I add."

"Oh not just you." Persephone smiles, "Your girlfriend as well."

"Persephone." Hades groans.

"Who?" Nico mumbles softly then his eyes widen with realization and yells, "Reyna!"

Once those word slip his mouth Hades snaps his fingers and Reyna appears but in stone form. She was reaching out her left hand extended the other flat, like she was crawling, her eyes were the most interesting. They showed her determination, her will to keep fighting. Beside the eyes, it was reliving her being stone for all those months.

"Change her back." He growls not taking his eyes away from Reyna's stone eyes.

"I will but I must speak to you." Hades snaps his fingers and Reyna slowly begins to return back to normal.
She breaks away and falls into Nico arms barely awake.

"Nico." She mummers, "I'm fine, let me walk. It makes me look weak and fragile."

Nico scoffs and carries her anyway to his room remarking sarcastically, "Yes because you're weak and fragile."

Nico kicks opens the door to his underworld bed room and lays Reyna down on his bed. Once he lies her down he looks down at his hands covered in blood.

"Reyna." He kneels at her side, "Where are you hurt?"

"Shoulders nothing major." She mumbles.

"Can you go a day without hurting yourself. You've been alive for 3 days!" Nico rants and stuffs ambrosia in her mouth.

"Shut it di Angelo." Reyna mummers softly and grabs his hand, "I do not ask to be attack relentlessly, I believe it might be a past time for the monsters."

He gives a half smile then whispers, "My Dad might want to speak to us later so rest."

"I'm not tried-" Reyna yawns and cuts herself off. "Maybe a little, losing blood takes its out of me."

"Reyna go to sleep." Nico says and she still holds his hand as her eyelids flutter shut. Nico still holds onto her hand as well and thinks about how he kissed her.

Did she even want him to kiss her? He scolds himself. He lost himself in that moment, not taking his actions into account. All he wanted to do was kiss her.

He sighs and places Reyna hand at her side and sits on the couch on the other side of the room and closes his eyes.

He doesn't realize he's sleeping until images appear in front of him.

He was on a beach fighting a giant that has hair that was black and around the shoulders, litter with weapons and pieces of armor. On top of it's head was a helmet.

"Son of Pluto." It hisses, "My brother should have already destroyed you."

"Yeah we let's say your brother is quite the coward like yourself." Nico laughs and looks down at his sword.

"Me?" The giant asks in disbelief, "A coward!"

"Are you stupid as well or do I need to repeat myself." Nico smirks and Reyna stares at him with a smile.

She was in fighting position. Her sword in one hand her helmet was on, her hair wiping from underneath. The only think Nico can really see was her eyes.

Those eyes that were so dark and endless. That were fierce and dangerous but so soft and gentle. They were one of the many features to admire about her.

Her eyes were shinning and then they turned to complete horror.

"Nico!" She screams as he feels a sharp pain burn through his chest and yanked out.

He is falling and feels the sand under him mixing in with his blood. And Reyna was there her helmet thrown to the side.

"You're going to be okay." She pleads and grabs his hand her other hand under his head, "Just focus on breathing."

"We both know that's a lie." He says as blood drips on the corner of his mouth. He could not stand the taste of it filling his mouth or the look of Reyna's face.

"Nico please don't leave me." She has tears in her eyes, "We can not do this without you. I can not do this without out."

"I'm sorry Reyna." He gurgles, "Please I have to tell you I-"

Nico sees the light fading and he's unable to get his words out, "Reyna I-"

Then it's black, not like shadow travel black but there was nothing. Worse there was no Reyna.

Nico gasps awake and falls off the couch. The pain in his chest was no more but he held it like there still was.
He's on all fours dripping sweat. He takes deep breaths and slows his heart rate.

Calm down it was just a dream. The small voice in the back of his head says.

When it is ever just a dream? His voice retorts.

Nico picks himself up and checks on Reyna she is sleeping peacefully some hair falling over her face.

Nico goes out into the hall and begins to walk down when he hears voices. He walks down the hall and the voices are audible. He peeks his head into the thrown room.

"You know you can't be here." Hades says.

"Quite frankly I don't know how I'm even here." The other voice counters and Nico freezes.

He hasn't hear that voice in years. It's can't be her.

Hades groans softly, "I do not know either. But you know how he will react when he sees you."

"Yes." She pauses, "Then I will be going now." Then in a sliver flash she's gone.

Bianca.

How is she even here? She choose rebirth it's impossible

Nico quickly walks back down the hallway and back to his room. He slams the door shut and slides down it.

Reyna shoots up from bed and stares at Nico. She rubs her eyes and takes him in.

"Nico what's wrong?"

How would you say if your sister that died and choose rebirth is back as herself again?

"I-I," He can't collect the right words to express his feelings.

Reyna opens her mouth when the door he was sitting up against opens. He rolls with his legs over him and the world upside down.

Hades walks in and he raises an eyebrow, "Get dressed dinner is ready." he says and walks back out.

Reyna clasp a hand over mouth to suppress a laugh.

Hades walks back in "And," he groans, "Demeter will be dinning with us."

This time Nico rolls back over sitting right side up.

"I've never had dinner with a god and goddess." Reyna chuckles.

A second later Persephone comes in with her flowers crown on her head and stares a Reyna, "Oh good I've found you."

Nico follows Persephone with his eyes as she walks across the room and grabs Reyna by both of her hands.

"I have a outfit just for you child." She says and pulls Reyna out the room before Nico can protest. He hears her continue, "Oh those wounds, I can fix those for you too."

Nico sighs and gets up and walks to his dresser. The clothes magically appear when he opens it, but all he finds is a traditional Ancient Greek clothes.

"Really Dad?" Nico said and grabs the clothes and quickly changes.

He walks to the dinning hall and hears yelling.

"Why are we not having cereal?" Demeter demands and holds an empty bowl to Hades face.

"Because it's dinner." Hades explains.

"There is never a wrong time to have cereal! Here we can have Cheerios." Demeter says and places her bowl on the table and Cheerios appear.

"Demeter-" Hades starts.

"Too late you can have Lucky Charms." Demeter said and a bowl flies toward Hades.

He growls and throws a ball of fire at the bowl and nearly takes off Nico's head as well as the bowl.

"Mother." Persephone said as she walks in the dinner hall with Reyna at her side. The young goddess face shifts, depending weather she wanted to be in he Greek or Roman form.

She is dressed in Ancient Rome style clothes. Her hair is pulled away from her face and it falls down her back.

As Persephone gets between Hades and Demeter, Reyna walks over to Nico.

"You look nice." Reyna says and points to his clothes.

"Sure." He says sarcasm dripping from his words.

"Why are you even in the underworld?" Demeter brown eyes snap to Persephone, "It's spring!"

"Mother." She says her face slightly red from yelling, "You would not under-"

"Don't mother me." Demeter said, "If you would have just stayed close as I told you to all those centuries ago you wouldn't be here for 6 months!"

"Everyone take a seat right now!" Hades yells and everyone scrambles for a seat.

Demeter mutters something in Greek and Hades gives her a death glare. The look in his eyes ranged from wishing Demeter wasn't here to a throbbing headache.

"Nico." Hades said, "Come with me."

Nico rises from his seat and goes next to his Father and they both dissolve into the shadows.

Nico is in Elysium and immediately wants to go back to Hades's palace so Reyna wouldn't be alone with Demeter or Persephone.

He snaps out of his thoughts and takes into account what's in front of him. Everything is the same with Elysium until he sees a girl with long dark hair and blue eyes glitch.

Nico rubs his eyes and she does it again as if she was on pause and keeping moving even though she was sitting perfectly still next to a boy with dark skin and brown eyes. His large hand over her small delicate one.

"It happens to a small portion of heroes from the recent years but it has caught my attention as well as." Hades chokes out the next part, "The other Olympians."

Nico tears his eyes away from the couple and toward his farther who is in dark robes.

"The Doors of Death are not open but this has occurred as well as more monster reforming for Tartarus." Hades said, "They are here then they are not."

"It's like a double bladed sword." Nico said.

"Yes."

"How does that involve me and Reyna?" Nico asks.

"You demigods are the center of this all. The ground zero as some mortals call it." Hades shrugs.

"How bad it is?"

"No." Hades answers, "You are not responsible for the increase number of monsters reforming but only the demigods here. Which is no harm."

"Has there been anything unusual going on? With these heroes a certain hero to be specific. A certain daughter of Hades." Nico said.

"Bianca." Hades said and nothing else.

"So she's alive I mean not really alive but she's here." Nico says but doesn't get the slightest thing from Hades not even a blink.

"So she is." Nico mumbles then looks up at Hades again and with sarcasm says, "Thanks dad I really enjoy out farther son talks."

Nico shadow traveled back to Hades dinner hall to find Hades in his chair.

"You forget who gave you that power son." Hades chuckles slightly.

Nico smirks back, "Thanks dad but I think we'll be going now."

He stands next to Reyna and gives her a little nod as he grabs her hand and concentrated of shadow traveling to camp but it doesn't work.

"You are too drained to shadow jump."
Hades said.

"But I'm not even tried."

"No something else is weakling you." Hades said and shifts.

"Oh for the love of all the gods." Nico gives a low whistles and a few seconds later Mrs. O'Leary pops up.

Reyna pulls away and tenses when she sees Mrs. O'Leary but then it realizes when she licks Reyna.

"Hi." Reyna says and pets Mrs. O'Leary behind the ears.

Nico jumps on Mrs. O'Leary back and pulls Reyna on, "To Camp HalfBlood."

She gives a happy yelp and shadow travels away and when the reappear again they're both a the board of Camp HalfBlood.

"That was  very interesting." Reyna says as she slides off.

"It's always crazy down there." Nico pets Mrs. O'Leary.

Reyna smiles. "You look different in those clothes."

"I do prefer a my black jeans and a t shirt any day or." He looks down at himself, "This."

Reyna says something but something behind her shifts in the shadows two figures to be exact.

Nico reaches for his sword as the first figure in a sliver flash pounds into his chest and sends he open the board rolling down the hill. Then he sees another gold flash ponce next to Reyna.

When the world stops violently spinning as he rolls. Nico looks up at dog with it's face in a fierce snarl.

"Argentum! No!" Reyna yells as the dog retreats back to her side with another dog but this time gold on her left.

Nico picks himself up and chuckles, "They found you."

"I've missed them much." Reyna kneels and holds into his dogs as if her life depended on it.

"They were in California last time I checked." Nico says.

"So they travel the country to see me." She whispers it.

"Come on it's dark let's go to the big house to tell Chrion we're fine and didn't get killed out captured." Nico says and Reyna walks along slide him.
Aurum in between them and the walk silently to the big house.

Seeing this a few months later I am cringing at how many spelling errors I see. No wonder the amount of readers dropped. No much writing edits on this one but spelling errors like I saw made my cringe.

Thanks again,
