Nico glanced inside my room. His eyebrows furrowed. “Is that…is that blue birthday cake?”
He sounded hungry, maybe a little wistful. I wondered if the poor kid had ever had a birthday party, or if he’d ever even been invited to one.

Okay, I give up. I cry whenever anything about Nico comes up.

I held out a lead figurine of Hades the little Mythomagic statue Nico had abandoned when he fled camp last winter.

Nico hesitated. “I don’t play that game anymore. It’s for kids.”

“It’s got four thousand attack power,” I coaxed.

“Five thousand,” Nico corrected. “But only if your opponent attacks first.”

I smiled. “Maybe it’s okay to still be a kid once in a while.”

HE'S JUST A KIDDDDD

“I train with the dead,” he said flatly. “This camp isn’t for me.There’s a reason they didn’t put a cabin to Hades here, Percy. He’s not welcome, any more than he is on Olympus.i don’t belong. I have to go.” I wanted to argue, but part of me knew he was right.I didn’t like it,but Nico would have to find his own,dark way.i remembered in Pan’s cave, how the wild god had addressed each one of us individually except nico

I couldn’t see Nico, but after a few minutes of walking I saw a glow up ahead. At first I thought Nico had lit a torch. As I got closer, I realized the glow was a ghost. The shimmering form of Bianca di Angelo stood in the clearing, smiling at her brother. She said something to him and touched his face—or tried to. Then her image faded.

Nico turned and saw me, but he didn’t look mad.
“Saying good-bye,”

Why did Ban talk about (Percy, Tyson, Annabeth, Grover) and even Rachel. But he didn't speak about what he saw in Nico, or even talk to him before he vanished, just as he did with the others?

“I’ve spent my whole life looking for you. Now…I release you.”

Pan smiled. “Thank you, dear satyr. My final blessing.”

I don't know why my screen is blurry.

The body in the coffin was Luke’s.
