Nico tried to help me, but he was too late. The ground I was holding onto broke. I said, "I'll always love you, Nico."

And

Then

I

Fell.

I lost track of how long I was falling, but I knew it was a long time. It seemed like a really long time for me- the ADHD demigod with nothing to look at but darkness and dirt.

But I was lost in my thoughts.

Last time I had fell down to this pit, in had been with her. I protected her, but then she betrayed me because I did.

But now I had Nico. He understood me and what it feels like to be betrayed by a loved one. I had just figured out that he still loved me, and that I actually loved him back, just so that I could be torn away and dropped into the place of both of our nightmares.

What a cruel world this is.

I got close enough to the ground to see it. I quickly used the water molecules in the air to slow down my fall. Then I landed safely on my feet.

But I wasn't going to stay safe for long.

I was suddenly hit from behind and I fell unconscious.

I woke up in chains. I looked next to me and saw Kronos. I wonder how he was able to reform... eh, I have bigger things to worry about.

"Oh, you're awake," Kronos said. "Well, then, let the fun begin." He drew a sword that I recognized as Backbiter as he stalked towards me.
