Na. I don't. Still a pringle. 

That is an honer only deserving of Rick Riordan and J.K Rowling.

Hazels POV

I was woken up my a soft captivating singing. I stared at the ceiling for a moment, wondering where I was, but then the memories of yesterday came rushing back. Nico had had another flash back. I sighed. Even though I was from the 1930's too, I couldn't say that I wanted to remember more than already did. 

Turning away from the depressing thoughts that came with being a demigod, I decided to look for the source of the singing. I rolled over to the side and saw Piper sitting on her bed reading a book. The soft lighting cast shadows across her face, but for the first time since Jason's death, she seemed completely at peace. I chuckled. The first time I'd seen her at peace was in the Underworld. 

I let out a yawn alerting her of my consciousness. She started, looking up from her book and turning her gaze to me. 

"Morning Hazel." she said quietly. "Morning." I said sitting up and letting out a yawn. "What'cha reading?" 

"Oh, mortal engines." she said holding up the book and showing me the cover. "Interesting..." I had absolutely no clue what that was. "How come you're not in the common room?" she shrugged. "Quieter in here I guess. And warmer. Besides, whenever I read something sad, I can just look at them." She said nodding at the boys side of the room. 

Our sleeping quarters were divided into to halves, one for me and Piper, and one for Nico and Will. We each had a bed with different colored duvets, (Black for Nico, Red for Piper, Amber for Will, and Purple for me.) a wardrobe stocked with clothes, and side table. We had hangings around our beds, and a curtain that could separate the boys side from the girls. Though we didn't use those. 

Nico and Will were sitting on Will's bed. Nico was drawing something and Will was reading a book. They both were leaning into each other, with Will's head on top of Nico's. I smiled. I'm so glad that Nico found someone that made him happy. He, more than most people, deserved to be happy. 

"Uh, Hazel?" I was shaken out of my reverie by Piper's voice. I turned to look at her. "Aren't ya gonna get ready?" I could feel my face head up. "Right." I mumbled. Piper just laughed. 

After we'd all gotten ready, Nico showed us to the dining hall, and once we'd sat down, Will spotted a slight problem. 

"Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but if we eat, doesn't that mean we have to stay in the Underworld forever?" He glanced at Nico who was half-heartedly chewing on a bagel but before anyone could answer, Hades appeared, giving us a heart attack. Well everyone except Nico of course.

"You will become property of the Underworld, but I give you permission to live your usual lives. We tweaked the rules a little after the uh.." He cleared his throat. "Incident." Nico snorted and turned to his father. 

"You know, when I said we should call Persephone an incident, I didn't think you'd actually do  it." Hades did something I never thought I'd see him do. He smiled. "Again, I can never tell when you're joking or not. Anyway,"

" Onto more pressing matters. The prophecy. I'm not going to recite it word-for-word, but it doesn't involve a quest as such. Moreover overcoming a foe."
