When we arrived at camp and Will had said goodbye to his mother properly, we walked up to The Big House, 'The Gang place', as most people liked to call it.

'HOI, MA MAIN MAAAAAAAAANN!!' Leo came bounding up to us, enveloping both me and Will into a tight hug.

I squirmed under his pressure until Jason came over and told him to get off 'the little cuties'.

I rolled my eyes at him, 'Thanks Jason—'

'BRO, to you' he winked at me.

I said and started again, 'Thanks... bro... but I'm not cute'

'Pfft, right', Will commented, and made me blush.

'C-U-T-E!!' yelled Leo and Jason simultaneously.

'Right okay—' I was cut off again.

'So how is my bro?' Jason put his arm around my shoulder and I shook it off.

'Jason, please—'

'Nico!!' a powerful feminine voice cut through the air, and I recognised it immediately.

I pushed through my friends and ran towards Reyna. When I got closer to her I saw she had her arms out, and I ran into them without hesitation.

She stroked my hair and laughed, 'Long time no see, di Angelo'

I broke away from our hug, 'yeah, I have to say I've missed you too Reyna'

She chuckles and stepped back in mock surprise, 'oh you better have boy!'

We both laughed and Will was suddenly behind me saying hi to Reyna.

'Anyway, we better go see the others, Neeks has some news for us' he said.

Reyna snorted, 'I bet it's the best news we've ever heard in all our monster infested lives'

Once we sought out Chiron and eventually got everyone into a more civilised group, Reyna announced that I had news.

'Um, so yeah... I had this dream—' I got interrupted for the millionth time that day by Percy, my 'ex' as people like to all us.

'C'mon dude, make it interesting like, WOAH I HAD A DREEEEEAAAAAMM' he over exaggerated a frown and moved his hands around in the air like the mental kid he was.

'Pfft, yeah, a DREEEEEAAAAAMM' Leo imitated Percy until I sat down; I did not do well with big announcements.

I looked over to Reyna, who was rolling her eyes. Once she caught sight of me I silently asked her to do my speech for me.

She stood up and yelled at the top of her lungs to get everyone to listen, 'GUYS!!! This is serious!' she looked around with a worried expression. 'It may not concern you all, but if it means that Nico is going to be in danger, it definitely will concern me, and, it may not be all of you that care, but I know that I do, because I'm his friend, and I'm sure you all think the same' she sat down, and everyone went silent.
