You were apart of Argo II. And you came by a conversation between Jason and Nico.. The orb at the end of Diocletians scepter glowed purple, for the last week, it seemed to aligned itself with Nico’s mood, “Then you’ve got to convince the king of the south wind to help.” Nico’s voice seethed with anger, “I didn’t come all the way, suffer so many humiliations..” Jason had to make a conscious effort not to reach for his sword. Whenever Nico got angry, all of Jason’s instincts screamed, Danger! “Look Nico,” he said, “I’m here if you want to talk about, you know, what happened in Croatia. I get how difficult—“ “You don’t get anything.” Nico said, You were watching this, unnoticed, “Nobody’s going to judge you.” Nico’s mouth twisted to a sneer, “Really? That would be a first. I’m the son of hades. Jason, I might as well be in blood or sewerage the way people treat me, but that’s enough to sit me apart, I’ve got to be—“ “Dude! It’s not like you got a choice. It’s just who you are.” “Just who I am..” the balcony trembled, the patterns shifted, “Easy for you to say, your everyone golden boy, the son of Jupiter.” Jason tried to think of something to say, he wanted to be Nico’s friend, he knew that was the only way to help, but Nico wasn’t making it easy, He raised his hands in submission, “Yeah okay Nico, you do choose how to live your life, you want to trust somebody? Maybe take a risk that I’m really your friend and I’ll accept you, it’s better than hiding.” The floor creaked between Nico and Jason, “Hiding?” Nico’s voice went deadly quiet, Jason’s fingers inched to draw his sword, “Yes hiding, you’ve run away from both camps, you’re so afraid that you’ll get ejected you won’t even try, maybe it’s time you come out of the shadows.” “I’m going to honor my promise.” Nico said, not much of a loud whisper, “I’ll take you to the doors of death, then I’m leaving, forever.” Nico disappeared into the shadows, Jason had a sigh of relief.. then he spotted you.
