I don't know how I lived with myself. After Karter went into the woods I felt myself calm down. Knowing that a 6 year-old girl was about to be brutally murder by her father. I laughed at myself. Was I going insane? I know that 6 year-old girl didn't deserve to die, but it had happened at some point. I shake my head. I kinda wish this place was a mental hospital. I need to practice, I decided considering that I'm going to be sent on a quest with no experience whatsoever. I make my way to the sword arena. My hand reaches over to my sword. I wonder what else I can do with it other than to use it as a regular sword. So as soon as I get to the sword arena I decide to stab it into the ground.

Nothing happened.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbwXVEW7z
Okay………
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sQkalcdi
"Evelyn" I hear a voice behind me whisper.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BhMGjSncI
"AAH" I scream. It startled me. Immediately after that I felt a big whoosh from my back. It felt like something had grown in my back.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQWftk87Kg
"Huh!" Said the voice from before. I turned back to see who it was. It was none other than Nico Di Anglo himself. He was still trying to look at my back.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs9drcoW0e
"Wh-what happened" I stumbled back.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziSieBaKvQ
"You grew wings,"He said deadpan. I reach back to feel feathers arches on my back. I puck one off to see that it was black. I didn't even notice Nico until he spoke. That scared me a little. That might have been the reason the wings grew all of a sudden. I got scared.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb6jOSyw7z
''Anyways" Nico continued, "I need to talk with you…privately" He eyed the corner on the left. I followed his gaze to see Karter. Which he immediately pulled back. He knows that I know what happened to Angie. I guess Nico and read minds or something cause the next thing I know I get pulled into a shadow, clinging on to Nico cause my face feels like it's about to fall off.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UKAhuJirK
"We're here"He said bluntly. I unhand myself from Nico.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcwh76doLl
"Sorry" I mumble. I looked around to see a forest surrounding us and a cabin….?
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78TAASHWLV
"As I was saying," Nico cleared his throat, "You have no idea what your powers are and even how to use them, right?"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQryt2NWSGP
"Yep, I just found out about the wing thing" I pointed out.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB3kUIGzFS
"Can you see anyone right now?" Nico asked.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3V7gAszWd
I shrugged as I try to take a closer look, "I mean, I see some children running around the cabin thing"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw8yzgRAtl
"It's not a cabin thing. It's bunker nine." Nico corrected me,"It was used by the Hephaestus kids a long time ago. So long ago that apparently Chiron forgot about it, or wanted it to be kept a secret."
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIygX7RA38
"That's weird" My eyebrows furrowed, "What about the children I'm seeing?"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV9fGf1MKz
"I don't know," Nico said blankly, "It might be because you're the daughter of Thanatos, and you can see where the dead are and have been. You know cause Thanatos is the official God of Death"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddpsAnk9R
I didn't answer Nico. I simply nodded my head.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNcpQYsbY
"Do you see anyone else?" His head prop up.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKTJ4KdNB
"I've been see someone named Angie"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtLx0VFPdS
"Have you been around someone named Karter lately?"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgFbE3jxQ
"No…."
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FpuHEiObM
"I was only going to tell Chiron about this, but I found Karter's wife and daughter hanged. Their bodies were severely beaten too. There were also some really old bones around the place they were hanging "
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvxpGecoKr
I stared at him with confusion and guilt.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoYxOE15aQ
"His Wife name is Angelica Thompson. Whom he nick named Angie" Nico took a step forward to me, "The bones also belong to another woman named Angelica Thompson"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9tG2bXL7i
"That's horrible…." I feel a bigger wave of guilt pass over me. I could of stop them.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n8EK2uQFT
"Oh" Nico exclaimed disappearing into the shadows for a momment, "Here's your farewell gift"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSohtcnSQJH
He returned with a box the size of a public trash can (Don't ask me where I got that).
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBCz290uAZ
"What is it?" I asked.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS64ini4ti
"It's a dragon egg," Nico explains, "You're father asked me to give it to you"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5pIODHpJO
"My father?" I asked confused.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJrtJRjuXe
"Yeah, your father. The egg is apparently a descendant of Kholkikos" Nico said, sounding surprised.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AkABnOYH0
"Um, who's that?" I tilted my head.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYzGHBrIyp
"Oh, Kholkikos is the unsleeping dragon that used to guard the golden fleece. He got slain by Jason" Nico mumble that last part, "Anyways it time to go back"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zSp95y0V9
With that we disappeared into the shadows once again. This time I didn't have a problem with Shadow traveling. I have a feeling that's what it's called.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwl49jbYHZ
We popped out of a tree that was right by the Camp's borders.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrDfnD6Izp
"Evelyn, one more thing. You should learn to control your emotions"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTshFHkOEX
"Um, okay, why did you say that?" Not going to lie. I was a bit curious.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll0X8vFXBH
"Cause if you let your emotions take over you. You might as well kill everything else. I saw what you did to Meg. Luckily you only summon that ghost… Angie to help you. Just keep in mind that you're one of the most powerful demigods that had minor gods father or birth them"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg3xuvaerQ
"Right…."It's kinda hard believing all of this. I think I would have used these powers against Mason in High-school. I felt a sudden shrunk on my back. I guess my wings had disappeared.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfQaVPDzn1
"You can summon your dragon too" Open the box and gave the egg to me, "You just have to rise it till it gets old enough"
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOP371Hukp
I cradle the egg in my arms.
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1YEyt3cG8
"Thanks" I gave a warm smile as he Shadow Traveled again. I ran off to meet with Willow.
