”Why do I have to do things like this?” Percy thought to himself as he, Jason, and Nico walked through the Lotus Hotel and into the Casino. Nico knew the place like the back of his hand, having been trapped there for years on end.

The group’s mission wasn’t a simple one. They had to find a specific demigod that had been trapped in the Lotus Casino and talk to you, the god who owned the place. They had already ran into Hermes, a local there and probably the best customer.

Jason followed closely behind Percy, almost like something would jump out at him if he looked at the people there in the wrong way. The air around them suddenly got heavier, and the lights went off, sparking uncertain and fearful murmuring from the mortals. Nico knew what happened to the lights, just chose to stay silent as he navigated through the Casino, down the Hotel stairs, and down to the basement.

“What was that, man?” Jason whispered to Percy, the two of them continuing to follow Nico as he lead them to Hades, the owner of the Hotel and his father.
