O Muse, Sing Of Nico Di Angelo,
Bearer of Great Woe,
Help me sing his tale,
Without thee, I will fail,
So guide me now,
Let the verses shine will not thee allow?
He was born to the god of the dead,
But then a prophecy came into the gods' head
A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympus to preserve or raze
And so the Great Three,
Swore not to have a child, for Styx to see
But lo!
Already born were Bianca and Nico
And mighty Zeus above was stricken with fear,
And so he decided to slay them like Hunter kills Deer
He hurled a mighty bolt of lightning,
Did the Olympian King,
And Hades could barely save Bianca and Nico,
But Death came to Maria Di Angelo,
And Hades hid the children away,
A Hotel, far out of Time's way
But then the two were taken out of the hotel,
Attacked by a Demon of Hell,
Abandoned the brother,
Did the sister,
And then down to Hades, she went,
And so did Nico lament
And now, O Muse up above,
You who all poets love,
Help me sing of the next part
Of the tale of Nico's wounded heart
He summoned the ancient ghost Minos,
Who promised him that a way to bring her only he did know(s)
And so, they began looking
For a being who on earth was lurking,
Constantly cheating Thanatos,
And revenge on him wanted Minos
The old legend Daedalus,
Descendant of great Hepeastus,
Who had cheated black death for thousands of years,
In the face of mortality he leers
But he was convinced to join the light,
By Percy Jackson, so against Minos' will he did fight
But then lured him down into the Maze Minos did
So of Daedalus, Minos could get rid,
But Nico turned on the twisted shade of old,
And to Minos told:
"You are not the king of ghosts, I am."
Then into the earth his sword he rams,
And banishes evil back to Hades,
As swift as Achilles
And fought and saved Camp Half-Blood,
From monsters amount comparable to Poseidon's Flood
And then he came up with a twisted plan,
Worthy of Odysseus, smartest ancient man,
Let Percy swim in the River Styx, like Achilles,
And become even stronger than legendary Heracles
But he also had another part,
Kept secret from Percy, though it wounded his heart,
He would give up Percy to his Father,
So he could learn of his Mother
And so, they went to Hades' domain
And Percy learned his quest was in vain,
Thrown into Jail by Hades, a deathless god,
And now of breaking out of his cell, there seemed to be no odd(s)
But Nico saved him from his infernal cell,
And n that place they did not long dwell,
Swam in the Styx, did Percy
And now of mortal vulnerabilities, he was free
So Percy went back to Olympus,
Out of the upper levels of Tartarus,
But Nico did remain behind,
Of his mother's story and some mercy in father to find,
He learned of his mother,
And convinced Hades his father,
To fight in the war, and aid the gods,
So the Heroes would have some odds
And so defeated was Kronos, Titan King,
Struck down by Heroes Daring
But Lo!
Even more, was for him woe,
Darkness and pain for all to see,
Why can't the Fates just let him be
Forced to endure Dark Tartarus,
Deeper below even Erebus,
Tortured and locked away,
He feared he would not see the light of day,
And used as bait for the Seven,
Heroe's born of the gods of Heaven
Yet thankfully he was saved, and set free,
But then, another woe came to be,
Forced to reveal that he was gay,
Forced to Eros and Jason he had to say,
Percy and Annabeth plunged into Tartarus,
And Nico promised to lead the others to Epirus
But then more he had to do,
Take the Parthenos to the Greeks, so the gods would become true
And healed and whole,
And with the task, Nico risked his soul
But in the end, he finished the task,
And now you do ask:
"Is it done, is the tragedy over?"
The answer is "Would Juniper ever break up with Grover?"
No, it is not, not yet,
Nico be happy, the Fates will not Let
(Though the Fates above,
Did at least grant him true love)
Lost his friend Jason Grace,
And then he attacked Nero's Base,
Injured and nearly killed was he,
But Apollo, god of light for all to see,
Managed to stop the cruel Emporers and Python,
And so it looked like finally the tragedy was gone,
But then he received a prophecy,
And so go down to Tartarus with Will would he
This took way to long
Off to read my second translation of The Iliad
Hope you enjoyed!
