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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEIjjpjsdn
Okay………
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmbdQgG5z6
"Evelyn" I hear a voice behind me whisper.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5FDTpujl
"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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwm1AzicOo
"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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhPVJNzIbx
"Wh-what happened" I stumbled back.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUiR3UUUm
"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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k1qpbYVuJ
''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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yq69y6bB8
"We're here"He said bluntly. I unhand myself from Nico.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBQB06qVla
"Sorry" I mumble. I looked around to see a forest surrounding us and a cabin….?
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGLS9cPbtm
"As I was saying," Nico cleared his throat, "You have no idea what your powers are and even how to use them, right?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGHxAiK1gz
"Yep, I just found out about the wing thing" I pointed out.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkIaF4BN4k
"Can you see anyone right now?" Nico asked.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyDjAVhlQk
I shrugged as I try to take a closer look, "I mean, I see some children running around the cabin thing"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C39w2N86G
"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."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekrAhdGDc0
"That's weird" My eyebrows furrowed, "What about the children I'm seeing?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DNRWWsXG8
"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"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgnrdregh
I didn't answer Nico. I simply nodded my head.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYPQ1JHRBC
"Do you see anyone else?" His head prop up.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4viu6vPWQ
"I've been see someone named Angie"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM0MhRgfOg
"Have you been around someone named Karter lately?"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPYBBMagBn
"No…."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XArZZJjbZ
"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 "
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxxazoaB2D
I stared at him with confusion and guilt.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10FXZjSCbX
"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"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9hciUmLA
"That's horrible…." I feel a bigger wave of guilt pass over me. I could of stop them.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0nmioGWH2
"Oh" Nico exclaimed disappearing into the shadows for a momment, "Here's your farewell gift"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL0b56937
He returned with a box the size of a public trash can (Don't ask me where I got that).
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzggH7Jhjf
"What is it?" I asked.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGzRWdfmlb
"It's a dragon egg," Nico explains, "You're father asked me to give it to you"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0fSghKYvP
"My father?" I asked confused.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCNZrZiSbp
"Yeah, your father. The egg is apparently a descendant of Kholkikos" Nico said, sounding surprised.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbL5oVCF2O
"Um, who's that?" I tilted my head.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xVxxUubJr
"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"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoBVxx64Dm
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBnFlwHex4
We popped out of a tree that was right by the Camp's borders.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzal8GM1JI
"Evelyn, one more thing. You should learn to control your emotions"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CEeorxu5q
"Um, okay, why did you say that?" Not going to lie. I was a bit curious.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakcKV1oAh1
"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"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzcMbAH5jo
"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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvte2ZTm2qD
"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"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBZE4Bwh1D
I cradle the egg in my arms.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPYAAdpnLy
"Thanks" I gave a warm smile as he Shadow Traveled again. I ran off to meet with Willow.
