Luna Nightshade and The Thief of Olympus

The Underworld and the Helm of Darkness

When we woke up the next day we quickly packed up and got ready to leave. When we were packed the others walked over to me so we could go. I close my eyes and look for the aura of the weapon. When I found it the aura was more similar than the ones of my patrons so I know that it was my father's helm. I open my eyes and drew the shadows to us. We disappeared in shadows and we reappear by the Hollywood sign. "We are in L.A. now so after this we will most likely be going to the underworld next," I told them.

"I thought only children of Hades and the blessed of Hades can go into the underworld without dying?" Tony asked a little scared.

"True but if another demigod is with a child of Hades then they can go because then they have permission from someone who is from the underworld." I told them.

"Your from the underworld?" Pietro asked.

I sighed and said, "no, my father is so I can get in the underworld know matter what and I can bring whoever I want." they nod understanding what I meant. I close my eyes and look for the aura of the weapon.

When I found it I open my eyes and look at the others and say, "follow me because there are no trees to hide behind." they nod and start to follow me.

When we got to the top of the hill we saw a goddess with black hair, red eyes, black shirt and jeans, red leather jacket, and combat boots looking at us smirking. "Nemesis," I said and she smirked even more.

"You are smart for a demigod." Just then about fifty monsters jumped out and our eyes widen. "But I am stronger." she said and she pulled out her whip.

"You guys kill the monsters. I will deal with Nemesis." I told them. Before they could protest I pulled out the spear from Styx named όρκος or Oath from its form of a diamond ring made of stingen iron and dipped into the river Styx and I run towards Nemesis. When I'm a few feet from her, she takes her whip and tries to hit me but I dodge it. I take Oath and stab her stomach. She screams in pain from the water of the river Styx. I pull Oath out and see that golden ichor was pooling out of the wound like a waterfall. She hits me with the whip scene I wasn't expecting it. The whip wrapped around my arm. I pull my arm and the whip towards me and she let go of the whip. I throw Oath at her and it hit her heart and she exploded into golden dust. I pull the whip off and there was no mark since I have the curse of Achilles. I walk over to the weapon and see a helm with designs of death and suffering. I grab it and put it into the backpack. I look over at the others and see there were no monsters left.

"Lets go, we have to get to the underworld and give my dad his helm back and find the master bolt." I said and start walking back to the Hollywood sign. The others follow me back down until I stop.

"Where do we go next." Wanda asked. I smirk and hold my hand up to the O on the Hollywood sign and the dirt and rocks behind it crumbles into a cave. I walked over to it and jump into the hole and wait for the others to follow. The others look a little weary but follow.

The inside of the cave was made of black stone with greek fire torches on the walls but it was still very dark. We walk for about half a mile before we see a river with a dock.

"The river Styx." I say as I pull out four drachma from the pouch and continue to walk over to the dock. As I walk I can see a farey coming towards the dock. I singnole the others to follow me. The farey was by the dock by the time we got on the dock.

"Charon we need to get to the underworld." I told him. Charon had black robs on and no hair.

"Die and come back." was all he said.

I sighed getting mad and then said as I hand him the drachma, "I need to see my father, Hades." His head snapped up and when his black eyes met my red eyes he got scared.

"Of course m'lady, please forgive me." he said as I nod.

I look over at the others and say, "let's go met my dad," was all I said as I got into the farey.

When we enter the underworld the others shuder. "Have you ever been here before?" Wanda asked.

"Yes I have but only when Persephone isn't here and that is spring, summer, and fall." I told them.

"Persephone doesn't know that your Hades daughter?" Tony said kinda shocked.

"She does now." I told them. Just then the farey hit the dock where we are supposed to get off at. The underworld has black stone as ceilings and either black rocks or dirt as the ground.

"Stay by me and don't wander off." I said looking at Pietro with my eyebrow raised.

"I wasn't going to wander off." he said. We start walking until we see big black gates.

"This way." I said. When we got to the gates a growol came from the right. I look over and see the three headed hellhound Cerberus watching our every move. I take off the backpack and pull out a red ball and through it for him. He ran after the ball so the others and I walk over to the gates. I try to open them but my hand almost get bit off.

I look up and saw the Furies glaring at me. "Let us through, we have to speak with my father." I said.

The one in the middle Alecto I think her name is glared, "full names and your godly parent." she snarled. I look over to Wanda.

"Wanda Scarlet Romanoff daughter of Hermes and blessed by Hecate."

Alecto nodded and pointed at Pietro, "Pietro Silver Romanoff son of Hermes." he said.

The fury Tisiphone pointed at Tony, "Tony Aiden Odiar son of Hephaestus and legacy of Athena and Aphrodite." he told the fury.

The other fury Megaera pointed to me, "Luna Nyx Nightshade daughter of Hades and champion of Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Hestia, Demeter, Melinoe, Thanatos, Britomartis, the Muses, Acheron, Cocytus, Styx, Phlegethon, and Lethe," I said relieved that the furies can't pick out lies so they don't know that I am also the champion fates. They were kind of scared so they let us through the gates. We walk through the courtyard to the front doors of the palace. The palace is made of black stone and gems. When we got to the doors a skeleton seventh let us in knowing i'm a daughter of Hades. I lead the others to the throne room that I know my father is going to be there. When we enter the throne room, there was a throne made of black rock and on that throne was my father Hades. His throne was made of black stone and skulls. He has black hair and pitch black eyes. He wore black robes with tormented soles on them.

"What are you doing here?" he said so I pull off the backpack and pull out the helm.

"We are here to return your helm and find the weapons of the olympians." I told him.

"You think I stole them?" he said a little offended.

"No we don't think you stole them but the Olympians do. We know that the minor gods and goddess are helping whoever stole them," I say as I walk up to him to give him the helm. "Dad can you please help us find the master bolt. We only have two days before the olympians start war on you." I say.

"Fine I'll help but stay here for the night. You look tired?" he said as he put then helm to the side.

"Thank you father." I said and he nods.

"You know where your room is. You and your friends can stay there," he said as he walked off to do who knows what.

"This way," I say as I start to walk to my room. When we got to my room the others look in aww. The room was just like my room in the Hades cabin. The only thing that's different is the white and silver gems in the walls that make the room look like it has stars all over it and there was a queen size bed in the middle of the room. "Girls get the bed and boys get the floor," I say as Wanda and I jump onto the bed.

"Unfair!" Pietro complaned.

I stock my tongue out and said, "my room my rules." Pietro grones but sits on the floor. "Lets go to bed so we can find the master bolt." I say and the others nod in agreement. Pietro and Tony lad on the floor and went to sleep.

Wanda and I lad on the bed and she said, "we will find the bolt and return the weapons to Olympus and stop war with the gods." then we were fast asleep.
