The Nico di Angelo Adventures[]
The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure[]
After Screech-Bling calls for the council to gather, they and the others meet where Nico di Angelo reveals that he thinks they are going to face Nyx. The troglodytes are shocked and the son of Hades reveals what happened the last time he was in Tartarus. The troglodytes are horrified by Nico's story but still agree to house and help Nico and Will Solace. They and Screech-Bling guide Will and Nico through a tunnel and alert the boys when they are close to the end.
Screech-Bling and Hiss-Majesty lead the demigods out of the tunnel and, once they emerge, Will is drained. They and Screech-Bling hunt for lizards as the son of Apollo rests and when the two return, say they will have to get past a farm. Once the four get close to the farm, a bull headed man spots the group and, after running over to the group, says they will not get away. The bull man greets them and Nico introduces him as Menoetes, a demon assigned to tend to Hades's cattle. After inadvertently revealing their quest, Menoetes informs them he must tell Hades they are in the Underworld. However, Menoetes agrees to keep their presence a secret if they go on a quest for him. Nico asks what he wants, and Menoetes says he wants them to sneak into Persephone's Garden to steal fruit for his boyfriend Geryon. Reluctantly, Nico agrees to the quest and Menoetes calls forth donkeys for the demigods to ride on. Screech-Bling and Hiss-Majesty stay on the farm as the demigods head out.
As the three wait, Hiss-Majesty joyfully herds cattle. When Nico and Will return, the bull man eats one of the pomegranates to stay in the Underworld forever with Geryon. As Will recounts their quest to the troglodytes, Menoetes tells Nico that many residents of the Underworld-including himself- have heard Bob’s scream. The bull man recounts a sighting one of his workers said upon regenerating that Nyx is forcing Bob to stay in a regeneration blister until he becomes Iapetus again. The demigods are angered as they learn it is agonizing to stay in one for too long. Menortes tells Nico and Will that once they enter Tartarus, they should emerge close to a swamp where the hut of Damasen is located and that Bob is not far from there. Screech-Bling and Hiss-Majesty tell Nico and Will they must keep going. The bull man waves goodbye as they walk.
As they walk along a slope, Will becomes sluggish. They spot a pair of drakons and try to avoid them, but Will falls down the side of the slope and Nico shouts, attracting the drakons. Nico goes over to his boyfriend as the troglodytes distract the drakons. Nico inspects Will, who is unconscious, as Screech-Bling comes over having just narrowly avoided the drakon's flames. After Screech-Bling offers to watch over Will, the son of Hades attacks the drakons. At first his sword bounces off, but his second blow severs one of the drakon's legs. It disintegrates as the other one runs off. After tending to the son of Apollo’s injuries. When Will can stand, they move out. As they walk, Will slowly heals, but his wounds soon open along with a fresh gash in his torso. Soon they reach the River Acheron, where souls who are deemed to evil for the Fields of Punishment are bathed to cleanse them of their past actions. The demigods, believing they have to win in it, are hesitant and start to argue. Once the fighting dies down, Screech-Bling says they can take a boat and points out a woman by a hut. The troglodytes turn back, with Hiss-Majesty saying they will return to Menoetes's farm and the group say their goodbyes.
Trivia[]
- Unlike most of their kind, they do not wear a hat as they have not found the right one, something they are sensitive about. They soon choose a cheese hat, similar to the one Will wears when at their home, as they see it as a hero's hat.
