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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAxpTS89bh
Okay………
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ZfnpYY4T
"Evelyn" I hear a voice behind me whisper.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedH8lwcwU
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19omwR6Ca
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1GPJBbjh
"Wh-what happened" I stumbled back.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMMUAmTNLL
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRI6etwmyf
''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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmLbltGARN
"We're here"He said bluntly. I unhand myself from Nico.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa4LW6eyDt
"Sorry" I mumble. I looked around to see a forest surrounding us and a cabin….?
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQkM7tyVQa
"As I was saying," Nico cleared his throat, "You have no idea what your powers are and even how to use them, right?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwHC31MH4Z
"Yep, I just found out about the wing thing" I pointed out.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrfigFpXlz
"Can you see anyone right now?" Nico asked.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC7HzUUCgY
I shrugged as I try to take a closer look, "I mean, I see some children running around the cabin thing"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvlOjfiKoZ
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUi6fiBGMX
"That's weird" My eyebrows furrowed, "What about the children I'm seeing?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Awg3Q3go
"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"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonU42EsrIr
I didn't answer Nico. I simply nodded my head.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsXHoovDfD
"Do you see anyone else?" His head prop up.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmLGJfT3fM
"I've been see someone named Angie"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvqW7gAge
"Have you been around someone named Karter lately?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqacAF8UPB
"No…."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV1FwEQSjv
"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 "
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCKSQNcLEY
I stared at him with confusion and guilt.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucIlu6Ryht
"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"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrhxym3aXY
"That's horrible…." I feel a bigger wave of guilt pass over me. I could of stop them.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmz38Wsb5Z
"Oh" Nico exclaimed disappearing into the shadows for a momment, "Here's your farewell gift"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsJJohgV9
He returned with a box the size of a public trash can (Don't ask me where I got that).
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO6j7rZEGb
"What is it?" I asked.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUWdKRl34Q
"It's a dragon egg," Nico explains, "You're father asked me to give it to you"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi5T3WXlc4
"My father?" I asked confused.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6aLGzWnFO
"Yeah, your father. The egg is apparently a descendant of Kholkikos" Nico said, sounding surprised.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3CnKBFpUw
"Um, who's that?" I tilted my head.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGBmLxYPFa
"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"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q6WJf7COW
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQNRIQjWQ1
We popped out of a tree that was right by the Camp's borders.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Gj9gdoTA
"Evelyn, one more thing. You should learn to control your emotions"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjd7uQJY5e
"Um, okay, why did you say that?" Not going to lie. I was a bit curious.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZcGelsVMI
"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"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxqaM7mUy3
"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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVUDrN2CZ5
"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"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFmPbZ3lIb
I cradle the egg in my arms.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaJ3PmYORU
"Thanks" I gave a warm smile as he Shadow Traveled again. I ran off to meet with Willow.
