*Takes deep breath* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Oh My Gods, I checked on this yesterday and saw 400 reads, now 500??? And then 600????? This is crazy!!!!! Thank you so much anyone who reads this! This is honestly mid blowing and I can't breath!!!!!!!! But seriously. Thank you so much. I'm ranting aren't I. How is it that I can unknowingly rant even when I'm writing? But this is something worth ranting about. So thanks to anyone, and I literally have no words. Even when I have access to Thesaurus, I have no words. 

Moving on so I don't explode of happiness.... (Even though I don't want to)

*Silence.*

STORY TIME!!!!!!!!

............

Will's POV

Ambrosia, bandages, balm, splints, more ambrosia.... 

"WHERE IN HADES IS THE UNICORN DRAUGHT!??!!?" I yelled, seconds away from ripping my hair out. 

"Will?" I turned toward the infirmary door to see my boyfriend standing there half smiling. "Need some help?" I sighed. "I can't find the unicorn draught." I confessed. Nico smirked. 

"What happened to the Apollo kids being super organized huh?" He said as he walked toward the cabinet-top and picked up a glass bottle. I blushed. "I-I must have missed it." I mumbled dejectedly. Nico smiled, sunlight filtering through the window and making him look even cuter than usual. "Yup." He chirped smiling. I smiled back, but the thought of Piper lying in the big house silently brought me back to earth. 

"Hey." Nico said gently, putting a hand on my cheek. "Piper's going to be fine. It was creepy, and definitely sudden, but she doesn't have an aura of death around her, and I've visited her in her dreams. Nothing seems to be wrong." I looked at Nico frowning. "You've visited her in her dreams?" Nico shrugged. "I can travel through dreams." 

"What?" Was there anything he couldn't do? I must have looked really stupid, because Nico laughed, his eyes gazing into mine and a hand over his mouth. Beams of sunlight fell into his eyes, making them look more brown than black, and lighting up his pale skin. Gods he was gorgeous when he laughed. I suddenly felt an urge to kiss him. So I did. Nico jumped, and then melted into the kiss, smiling against my lips. When I pulled away, he laughed again. "A bit eager aren't we Solace?" he said smirking. "Shut up." I mumbled intertwining our fingers. 

"Anyway," I said tearing my mind away from my boyfriend. "We need to get back." I knew I was still blushing though. 

A few minutes later, we were standing on the porch of the big house. I sighed. I'd seen a lot of people unconscious, being a healer and all, but the fact that it was Piper just made things a lot harder. "C'mon." I mumbled. 

I stepped through the door and saw Chiron and Apollo talking to each other in low tones, Annabeth and Percy were talking to Frank, and Reyna by Iris message, and Hazel was sitting by Piper, who was lying down on a couch, holding her hand. Hazel had turned really quiet after Piper had feinted. It was kind of scary, if I'm being honest. She randomly collapsed, and she kept asking for Hazel, and murmuring about figures.

Nico walked up to Percy and Annabeth, and started talking to Reyna. I walked up to Piper and dribbled a few drops of unicorn draught in her mouth. The room was quiet for a few seconds and then Piper gasped and her eyes flew open. She looked around widely for a few seconds, and then she locked eyes on me and Nico, who had come to my side when Piper woke up. 

"Oh thank the gods!" Nico and I were thrown back by Piper launching herself at us. I hit the ground and had the air knocked out of me, but still managed to laugh.

"Glad your back to normal." said Nico smiling as Piper helped us up. She chuckled. "I'm glad you're back to normal." She said her smile flickering. 

"Yes. About that Piper, what happened exactly?" Said Chiron wheeling himself forward. Pipers face fell and she sat down. 

"I-I'm not sure." She said her voice shaking. "It's kinda hard to explain. I was looking at Nico, and then I couldn't really see him. I could only see this.... black light? Portal? I dunno. Anyway, in the darkness there was this figure standing there. There was this portal behind the figure and I could hear the fields of punishment. The figure was holding Nico's sword." I looked at Nico, who was staring at Piper looking confused. Chiron was looking at Piper gravely, and everyone else was just scared. This wasn't going to end well. The only god who looked like they had any idea was my dad. And you know it's bad when you have to rely on my dad. 

"When I looked at Will, there was this blinding light, and inside the light was a figure with a bow and arrows. He aimed an arrow at me. It was really confusing and I can't really explain it more." She looked at Chiron, begging him to understand.

Annabeth went up to Chiron and whispered in his ear, and he nodded. He turned to us. 

"I think it's time you learned about the prophecy." 

Okay, first of all, we should have learned about the prophecy in the first place. I mean, I guess safety and all that, but it defiantly wasn't necessary to bust that line out on us. Sure it sounded super cool and dramatic, but it was our right to know in the first place. But I didn't say any of this out loud of course, and a few minutes later, we were in the Underworld throne room, looking with Persephone, Hades, Aphrodite, Hecate and Apollo. They all look really, godly? I dunno. The fact Chiron used that line so dramatically was still bugging me. 

My dad let out a cough. 

"So." He said. We looked at him for a few seconds. Nico sighed. 
"So what?" He asked using a go on gesture. 
"Uh...." Persephone sighed. 

"Really Apollo? We agreed you would say it, and now you clam up on us?" She looked at him incredulously. I heard a laugh, and looked around to see Piper cracking up and staring at the gods. 

"Seriously? You guys made up a plan to talk to us?" She cracked up, Nico bit his lip to stop himself from laughing, and so did I. But the two of us locked eyes, and we both lost it. Hazel was the only one who kept quiet, and from her expression, it didn't look easy. 

"Hey!" whined Apollo. "That's not fair!" 
"Really?" said Nico smirking. "That's not fair? You sound like a toddler." I laughed even harder. Oh gods, my dad and my boyfriend arguing. Hades sighed. 

"Do you want to know about the prophecy or not?" He said rubbing his forehead. That shut us up. He let out another sigh. "We aren't going to tell you the exact prophecy, but more the contents of it. Okay?" We nodded. I turned to look at Nico, who was frowning at Persephone. I followed his gaze, and.....

Persephone was standing behind Hades's throne, staring at the ground. The flowers on her dress were wilting, and she definitely wasn't comfortable. Right. It was summer. But even for Persephone, it wasn't normal for a goddess to look so... I'm not sure how to describe it. But before I could think more of it, I felt a blast of cold wind.

I looked at where Nico was just in time to see him melt into shadows. "Neeks?" I asked. He just shook his head. A second later, he reappeared behind Persephone just in time to catch her. 

The goddess of spring had fainted.
