"Fine!" Alyx groaned as she waved her hands again, Hazel, Nico and Will appearing. The blond boy gasped, "Nico! Did you seriously just shadow travel me?!"

"No I didn't," he rolled his eyes, "Alyx did."

"What's Alyx—"

"Hi!" Alyx waved, Will jumping as he realised that all of his friends and a random strange kid was in front of him. "William Solace, I've brought you here to react to a musical called Epic The Musical, your friends and Nico have been here for the last hour so if you have any questions please ask them and not me, okay bye."

Will starred at the girl watching as she disappeared, "What—"

"Don't ask, just sit down and watch, trust me, the quicker you do that, the quicker it's over," Nico explained.

Will nodded sitting down as the music started.

[ODYSSEUS]
Friends, Circe's instructions were clear
No matter what we hear

"WAIT! Alyx stop! I just realised something!" Annabeth said as she jumped out of her seat.

"What is it?" Percy asked, grinning as he saw how excited his girlfriend was.

"The motif! It goes, 'dum dum dum dum' it happens every time they are in danger. It happened just then and during Puppeteer and I'm pretty sure every song in the ocean saga and I remember it happening during the first song, it probably happened during the Cyclops saga but I don't remember..."

"Oh my gods, yeah!" Piper exclaimed, "Now that you say it. Yeah, I remember that too!"

[CREW]
Full speed ahead

[ODYSSEUS]
Until we find the prophet
My comrades, this land confuses your mind
So no matter who we find

[CREW]
Full speed ahead, until we find the prophet

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Good

[ODYSSEUS, CREW]
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes

Leo shivered, the Underworld looked horrible, he would hate to go there.

Hazel looked away, realising this saga was going to be a lot harder for her than she had originally thought.

I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)
And here in the Underworld, the past seems close behind
This land confuses your mind

"Sounds like a nightmare!"

Nico shook his head, "It can be, but it can also be calming. The Underworld isn't good or evil, it's just another place where we go."

[FALLEN SOLDIERS]
When does a man become a monster?
558 men who died under your command

"That's so much guilt..."

Percy sighed, he knows what's that like. The first time Percy went to the Underworld, he was 12, he thought he mum was dead, the next time he was 16 and he had threatened to kill Nico. Percy's hands went cold as he thought about the last time he went to the Underworld, when he went to Tartarus...

Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain
Why would you let the cyclops live
When ruthlessness is mercy?

"Aw Eurylochus is comforting Odysseus," Hazel grinned.

[ODYSSEUS]
All I hear are screams, every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died

"He's having a full on main character moment," Thalia said as she rolled her eyes.

Jason gasped, his head tilted as he looked at his sister, "He's traumatised!"

"So is everyone else on that boat, they all went through the same war, they all faced the Cyclops and Poseidon, but they're not singing their hearts out."

"I'm sure if any of them were the main character, they would be singing about their traumas too."

Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)
But in the Underworld, the past seems close behind
I keep thinking of the infant from that night

"What infant?" Will asked.

Nico's eyes widened as he realised that his boyfriend hadn't seen the Troy Saga with them, he didn't know why Odysseus had so much guilt, "Um—"

"Let him find out!" Alyx yelled.

I keep thinking of the infant from that night

[POLITES]
This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms

"Polities!" They cried.

"Polites caught the infant!" Hazel gasped as she hugged Frank.

[ODYSSEUS]
Polites

[POLITES]
Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart
No matter the place, we can light up the world
Here's how to start:
Greet the world with open arms
Greet the world with open arms

Hazel was crying again, missing Odysseus' best friend, even Nico was tearing up, remembering what it's like to lose a love one.

[ODYSSEUS]
Polites

[ANTICLEA]
Waiting

"Who is this?" Reyna asked Annabeth. The blonde shrugged, she honestly couldn't remember.

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
That voice, it can't be

[ANTICLEA]
Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Mom?

Percy's breath hitched as he realised that Odysseus had to choose between continuing his mission and seeing his mum, an extra situation Percy had been in. He grabbed Annabeth's hand, she squeezed it tightly saying it's okay.

[ANTICLEA, ODYSSEUS]
Waiting
Odysseus, when you come home I'll be waiting

Percy thought about all the times he's left Sally waiting for him, about how for nine months, she didn't know where he was and he didn't remember her. Every summer she let him go to camp knowing that he might not return home. He wondered how many endless nights she spent up, counting the minutes he was away.

Percy remembered the time that everyone thought he was dead for two weeks, had Annabeth told Sally? Or did Grover? How did Sally react?

Even if you're the last thing I see, I'll be waiting
I'm right here, mom (Waiting)
Can't you see? I'm

[BOTH]
Waiting

[ODYSSEUS, ANTICLEA]
I took too long

Suddenly Frank sniffled causing Hazel's attention to turn to him, "Frank?" She asked.

Frank cried, thinking about his mother, how she died in the line of duty, a soldier who died in Afghanistan, she told him that no matter how far she traveled, she would always come back and she did, in a box.

Next he thought about his grandmother, true they never saw eye to eye but she was all he had and she's gone, all because of him. He traveled too far and when he finally returned home, she died in a fire caused because of him. "I miss my mum," he whispered to Hazel.

Hazel frowned, thinking of her own mother, was she still in the fields of Asphodel or maybe perhaps she decided to be reborn, "Me too," she hugged him.

I'll always love you
And ventured too far
I'll stay in your heart
While you were

[BOTH]
Waiting, waiting, waiting

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Bye, mom

[ODYSSEUS, CREW, ALL]
All I hear are screams (All I hear are screams)
Every time I dare to close my eyes
I no longer dream (I no longer dream)
Only nightmares of those who've died
Nothing's what it seems (Nothing's what it seems)
But in the Underworld, your past is always close behind
Your past is always close behind
Down in the Underworld

No one knew what to say, aside from a few sniffles in the room, it was silent. Will sitting quietly wondering who the infant Odysseus was talking about was.
