    Rick Riordan
    “Nico," I said at last, "shouldn't you be sitting at the Hades table?"

    He shrugged. "Technically, yes. But if I sit alone at my table, strange things happen. Cracks open in the floor. Zombies crawl out and start roaming around. It's a mood disorder. I can't control it. That's what I told Chiron. "

    "And is it true?" I asked.

    Nico smiled thinly. "I have a note from my doctor."

    Will raised his hand. "I'm his doctor.”

    "Hey, I'm just stating the obvious. If this is Apollo, and he dies, we're all in trouble."
    Will turned to me. "I apologize for my boyfriend."
    Nico rolled his eyes. "Could you not―"
    "Would you prefer special guy?" Will asked. "Or significant other?"
    "Significant annoyance, in your case," Nico grumbled”

    “Legion, cuneum formate!’ Reyna yelled. ‘Advance!’ Another cheer on Jason’s right as Percy and Annabeth reunited with the forces of Camp Half-Blood.

    ‘Greeks!’ Percy yelled. ‘Let’s, um, fight stuff!’ They yelled like banshees and charged.

    Jason grinned. He loved the Greeks. They had no organization whatsoever, but they made up for it with enthusiasm.”

    “Good. So you may be dense, but you’re not an idiot.’
    ‘How can you even talk to me like that? Don’t you know I can summon zombies and skeletons and –’
    ‘Right now you couldn’t summon a wishbone without melting into a puddle of darkness, di Angelo,’ Will said. ‘I told you, no more Underworldy stuff, doctor’s orders. You owe me at least three days of rest in the infirmary. Starting now.’
    Nico felt like a hundred skeletal butterflies were resurrecting in his stomach. ‘Three days? I – I suppose that would be okay.”
