《Solangelo》Chapter 18

💀💀Nico's pov💀💀
It's been 3 days and I haven't left my cabin once. I haven't talked to anyone but Jason and I've hardly eaten anything. I feel worse than when Bianca died. I felt myself falling into a deep depression and this time there was no Will to make me feel better.
I was trying to get my mind off of everything, in the combat arena, slicing dummy after dummy. I kind of felt bad that I was destroying them all after campers had spent their time making them all, but I didn't stop. I was so angry.
I had saw Percy doing this cool trick while training on the Argo 2 and I always wanted to try to do it.
I did it perfectly the first time and I grinned in satisfaction, the first grin since Wills memory left.
I got to the last dummy and tried again, but this time my sword landed wrongly and cut my arm.
"Ah damn" I cursed, nursing the cut. I heard voices coming so I grabbed my fallen sword and shadow traveled back to my cabin.
I went into my bathroom and cleaned as well as I could with my basic knowledge on first aid. I thought about how Will would've been fixing me up if we didn't come. Then I thought about how I wouldn't have this cut if we just stayed home in the first place. Tears filled my eyes for the millionth time.
I went to my CD player and blasted sleeping with the sirens, climbed onto my bed and wrapped all my blankets around me.
That is when my stomach growled loudly. I really didn't want to move but I was, sadly, hungry. I looked at my calendar and saw it was the Tuesday after thanksgiving weekend and I was supposed to be at school. I got changed into black skinny jeans a plain black t-shirts and one of Wills old hoodies which was dark grey and massive on me. Then I shadow traveled to one of my favourite places.

I walked into McDonald's with one earbud in and the other out so I could order. I had a dark aura coming off of me and mortals backed away when I passed them. Thankfully there was no line so I walked up to the cashier.
"One Big Mac and a large chocolate milkshake please," I asked the girl at the cash, she looked as old as me. Well maybe not as old as me cause I'm technically 90.
"Anything else?" She asked with a happy attitude. It disgusted me.
"And a medium fry please," I answered, I could not forget the fries.
"Ok that will be 10 dollars please," she replied so I grabbed 10 bucks out of my pocket and put it on the table. She passed me my food and I went outside to the patio and ate out there. As I slowly chomped on my fry I looked around and noticed I was at the McDonald's near my school. And that is when the last person I wanted to see showed up.
"Hey look, it's the fag!"

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
