Summary
“This,” Artemis began, gesturing Nico up and down. “Is a boy, uncle.”
Hades nodded, looking incredibly out of place as a mass of darkness in the otherwise serene meadow. “He is,” he agreed and then paused, looking at Nico with a sudden suspicion. “Right-?”
“Yes,” Nico interrupted flatly. “Still a boy. Just gay.”
“I was not conflating such things,” Hades muttered. Artemis raised a skeptical brow. “I merely thought I would ask.”
From behind Artemis, Percy gave a satisfied nod as he nudged Thalia. “Nice. We got a woke uncle.” He raised his fist only for Hades to stare. “Alrighty.” He pointed a thumb behind him. “I guess I’ll go-?”
“You better not leave me here,” Nico hissed.
“Bye, Nico!”
“Percy!” he began, a note of worrying desperation leeching into his tone. This was ridiculous. It wasn’t really happening, right? Right? “Tell Will that I’m being kidnapped!”
Thalia waved. “No,” she said, following after Percy.
Nico had never liked her.
Or
Apparently, Nico is what other campers are calling ‘a hot mess’ and ‘severely traumatized’ which has somehow led to his father relegating him to the Hunt. Worry not, it makes no sense to Artemis either.

Summary
Thanatos will learn about this curious mortal, Zagreus, whose entire life is supposed to be led in devotion to him, to culminate in his death. Maybe then he will understand why he feels so odd about the whole situation.
At the very least, he has never spent much time in contact with mortals who still live. It may be interesting to see what one is like while alive. An amusement until the day of the sacrifice would not go amiss.
-
The day of Zagreus's sacrifice to the god of Death is drawing near when he meets a mysterious stranger that appears directly in his rooms.
