N/Joepart5 : thank you very much for the comment, I'm glad you're enjoying it. About grammar I can't do much, I have a beta but I think I will need more than one to fix the chapters, And about the timeline, I corrected the time issue, to make it easier to understand.

Have you heard the news about the Percy Jackson series? this is going to be incredible, i'm already looking forward to knowing who will be part of the cast and if they will adapt well for tv, thank goodness that Rick Riordan will help with that, everything should be fine.

I thank Ozilla for the idea for this chapter:)

Zoe was not happy with Thalia's decision, she was one of the most trusted hunters of Artemis.

It has been 5 years since she became a hunter. She would never have become a hunter if Alain hadn't asked, she doesn't know why He asked for it, Maybe because he didn't want her to be with anyone else, But it wasn't like him, Alain would never be selfish to the point.

She didn't understand that. not that she wanted to be with anyone else, it wasn't that.

At first, when Alain was alive and at her side, she didn't quite understand what she felt, but over time she found out. She was in love with Alain, and always has been.

She only realized this after a while that he died.

In her first year as a hunter, when she returned to camp, she saw Annabeth and Grover, and Luke, who missed her so much.

they spent a lot of time together, all of them. She knows that Luke had started to develop feelings for her, she was not blind, she could see very well that he liked her, he even tried to kiss her, but she walked away.

He was nice and kind, but she didn't like Luke the way he likes her. He is mistaken if he thinks she would break her vows for him.

Thalia just fell in love with one person, and he was dead, as was a part of him.

And now she was a hunter, she honestly had no interest in that anymore, she never tried to look for someone after Alain. She really only cared about her friends, and there was no one else who could make her feel like Alain made her feel.

She knows it can be a stupid quest, but she needed to do this, she needed to know what happened to Alain.

He died, but He was the son of Hades. Perhaps Hades helped him in the afterlife.

But she also wanted to ask him, she needed to know why Hades didn't help Alain when he needed it most, He died and Hades didn't help him, His son… he let him die!

To say that Thalia hated Hades and the gods It was little, she hated them with every part of her being.

They could have helped him, and they didn't.

She knew the prophecy, and for a moment she thought that she could become the person of the prophecy that would Destroy the gods, but she thought of Alain, Annabeth and the others, She couldn't do that, however much she hated the gods. She wouldn't bring destruction and war to the world just because she wanted revenge, that's not what Alain would want, And Annabeth, Artemis, Zoe and Grover would be disappointed in her, Luke would probably be by her side, but maybe he did too wouldn't like her idea of rebelling.

She even tried once to go to the underworld to talk to Hades himself, and maybe he could bring Alain back, she even wanted to. but Artemis stopped her, she said the following words "You will not find anything there, Child. Hades cannot bring him back, not Alain, maybe his soul but not who he was, his appearance, his memories and personality, all this already is lost and you're one of us now, and I forbid you to go there. even to the under-world by someone who is already dead? Would you waste the life your friend sacrificed to save? "it was a low blow.

She arrived at the camp with Zoe shortly before finding out about Her uncle's son, Percy Jackson.

Thalia decided to go with Annabeth, Grover and Percy to

The underworld. and It was no accident, she would finally confront Hades.

Pov Alain.

I didn't know that I could touch objects and people. Hades offered me eaten but I was not a fool to accept, I know about Persephone's story, and regardless of that I didn't feel hungry anyway.

Whatever he did to me, it was like I was still alive. Or rather, a living dead.

I could touch objects and people, It was visible to others, But I didn't have a beating heart or an appetite.

Sometimes I missed others so much, I was supportive here and sometimes I wanted to cry, and I couldn't. It was just sobbing, no tears, I was so desperate, So distressed that I couldn't even shed a tear.

The pain was overwhelming.

But I got over it, I tried to be strong And it consumed me, I became cold.

Hades complained about that, that I ignored him, but I didn't care what he wanted anymore.

To say that I hate this place is little.

But not everything is so boring or bad, Cerberus and Morrise are good company. Morrise is a dead Lieutenant in the American army of World War II, he used to tell me stories and we talked sometimes to pass the time.

I was in my room reading a book written in Greek, it was about ancient Greece.

That's when I felt the tremors on the ceiling and dust, And my father's screams.

Again this screaming argh.

Hades really gets angry easily, even more overwhelmed.

It was then that I heard a feminine scream and my eyes widened. Could not be.

"… You let him die!" Thalia?

I got up quickly and ran for the door, and then stopped. What was I doing ? If I show up, what good do? It wouldn't matter, I would still be stuck here. but i miss her so much, i desperately wanted to see her again, even for a moment.

I cannot let this opportunity pass.

So I opened the door and ignoring the guards, I ran to the throne room and opened the door.

There, in front of me, aside from me, were what I assumed to be Percy, Annabeth, Grover ... and Thalia. She was here, really.

But they still haven't seen me, And Thalia looked furious, Her short hair standing up with rays dancing around her, Her eyes sparking.

But what caught my attention the most was the golden crown around his head.

She did what I asked, she ... she accepted to be a hunter.

She was in front of the group, with clenched fists and shouted angrily "You coward! Your son died and you let him die! You are just a -"

Hades banged his fist on the throne with a bang

"Don't you dare talk to me like that! My Brother's daughter! Disrespect me again and I will-"

This time I interrupted "Enough!" I say. How crazy, I'm going to screw everything up again. But OK, at least I can do a good deed.

Everyone in the room turned to me, Hades stopped and his eyes widened. Then I saw Thalia and the others. Percy looked confused. Grover, Annabeth and Thalia froze simultaneously, their eyes wide and expressions of surprise on their faces. It was then that I saw Thalia's eyes light up and Annabeth open her mouth in amazement.

That's when I knew I had it all over again.

Third person pov.

It was him ... Right there, in front of her, Like a ghost from the past that came to haunt.

Thalia's eyes shone with unshed tears, it couldn't be him ... he was killed ... She saw his body lifeless ... she cried on him, she mourned him for months, Hoping that when she woke up it wouldn't it was a nightmare and that Alain would be at his side in Zeus's cottage as soon as she opened her eyes, that he would be there holding her hand and saying words of comfort, saying he wouldn't leave without her being able to sleep.

But it was him, in front of her...

She felt a sob escape "Alain. ..." she whispered. It couldn't be, it had to be Hades' trick. Alain was dead. She turned to Hades and her expression changed to Anger "Is this another dirty trick of yours ?! What have you done !? What do you want with this !?" She screams with lightning dancing around her.

Hades clenched his jaw but it was not him who answered.

"it's not a trick, Lia." She heard his voice, it was his voice ... she recognized, even after five years, she still remembered his voice.

"Al…" Annabeth said "are you really? You-"

" Yes it's me ." Thalia's knees weakened and she turned trembling to him again, Her eyes found the green of what would be Alain, and she still didn't believe it, it was a trick, It had to be ... but what if it was himself? What if Hades brought him back?

Alain looked at her and his eyes seemed to shine too. he shook his head and then looked at the others

"You guys have no idea how much I missed you, and hi to you too Percy, it's nice to finally meet you," he said with a sad smile.

Thalia remained frozen, not moving and just looked at him as if in hypnosis.

Percy frowned and waved a little confused

"Oh hi, do I know you from somewhere or something?" He asked.

Alain laughed humorlessly "No, this is the first time we've met, to tell you the truth. I'm Alain, your cousin," he says. Percy seemed to recognize his name and his eyes widened, which was strange.

"oh so you were the one who sacrificed yourself on the hill half blood! But wait, weren't you dead?" he asked confused.

Alain sniffed "it's a long story, but it's me," he replies.

Hades then interfered "Enough of this! Now go to your room now Alain!" Yells Hades, and everyone turns to him.

As much as Alain missed everyone, now was not the time for hugs, first he had to resolve this situation with his father.

Alain scoffs and walks in front of the group, passing Thalia and the others and standing in front of his father on the throne and looks at him "none of this, I'll stay here." He says with determination.

Hades grits his teeth "this is none of your business, get out of here for good or my soldiers will take you there."

Alain was not deterred "You will let them go." he says .

Hades laughed humorlessly "Do you really think you have authority over me? I am your father, Boy. They are in my kingdom and I do whatever I want! You don't dictate the orders here."

Alain ignored this and looked at Percy just behind him "What do you need?" He asked.

Percy looked confused.

"Ah?"

Alain rolled his eyes "what do you need?" He spoke more firmly.

Percy seemed to come out of his reverie "My mom, He's with my mom and we only have four teleport pearls for each of us." Alain already knew this information, he just asked to be sure and not look suspicious or strange that he knows of this. The only difference from the events was that Thalia was with them.

Thalia who remained silent and distant eyes the entire time during the conversation.

Alain took a deep breath before looking back at his father "father." Hades opened his eyes wide when Alain said that, years ago since Alain called him father. in all the time that Alain remained in the underworld, he never once called Hades a father. "If you care about me, please let my friends go, free Percy's mother and let go." he asked .

Hades then took a straight posture in the chair and shook his head "I can't, He has my brother lightning. I need him," he replies.

Alain sighs "Dad, please."

"If I let them go, the lightning stays." says Hades.

"if the Lightning stays, there will be war."

"So be it." his gaze went cold.

Alain will have to resort to a last resort, it may seem like blackmail but it is necessary "If You ever cared about me, Your son. I beg you, please, father, I am begging, Let Percy and the others go, And let them take Percy's mother and my uncle's lightning. Do it for me, please, "he asked with pleading eyes.

Hades' expression faltered and he seemed to soften his gaze. he looked away for a moment before turning it back to Alain, and let out a frustrated breath

"Just this time, why did you ask."

This time Alain's eyes widened, it worked, his father accepted his request ...

He heard Grover gasp behind him and is almost certain that everyone had surprised expressions on their faces.

"but -" oh no, what Hades will "I'm going to take this from you, son." Alain without fear or regret, nodded. Anyway, he hasn't taken an oath by the River Stige, yet.

"OK." he says.

Hades seemed satisfied with that "well, now-"

"Dad, can I ask for one last thing?" Says Alain a little reluctantly. He knows he's abusing but he needed to try it.

Hades rubbed his forehead a little irritated "Don't abuse my good will, boy."

"I just want to say goodbye."

Hades seemed a little surprised by this but nodded "this ... can be arranged, but be quick, I'm out of patience for more demands." He gestured to one of the next doors "I'll give you privacy." He snapped his fingers and all five were teleported to the next room next door.

The fives staggered a little "Oh what just happened?" Asks Percy with one hand on the wall, he shivered "that was cold, where are we?" He says and rubs his arms, looking around the room, it was lit by straight lamps on the ceiling and it had a wooden table in the center.

Alain turned to them "don't worry, that door leads back to the throne room, I just wanted to say goodbye, and my dad doesn't stand farewells or whatever it is that has human displays of emotions in front of him." shoulders and then smiled at them all. he saw Thalia look away and turn away from him, she crossed her arms. Alain felt a little hurt about it. Is she mad at him? It was understandable but still ...

Annabeth seemed to come out of her astonishment and then in seconds she ran and jumped up to hug him, Alain gasped in surprise and hugged him back.

"It's you! Oh gods!" Annabeth laughed as tears streamed from her eyes and she hugged him.

Alain laughed "I missed you too, Annie. You grew up a lot huh." he said and Annabeth cried for a few seconds before walking away.

Then Grover approached too and he felt an impact at his side, he hugged him "Dude, I missed you!" Speaks Grover and Alain smiled on Satyr's shoulder and patted his back "I missed you too." he replied and then the three embraced in a trio before moving away a few minutes later.

Alain took a deep breath and looked at his two friends, one hand on one of their shoulders, he looked at them with a soft smile "You have no idea how much I missed you," he said and then Grover and Annabeth laughed with a few tears in your eyes.

"But Alain, how are you alive? We saw your body, you had died." Grover says with a confused expression.

Alain rubbed his neck a little awkwardly

"well ... I'm not exactly alive."

Annabeth and Grover looked confused.

Alain then explained "I am visible to you, you can touch me, But I am not entirely alive, Hades did something that caused my spirit and conscience to be trapped here, I am neither fully alive nor totally dead." he briefly saw Thalia appear to be tense.

"So you are like the living dead?" this time it was Percy who asked and all three looked at him. "What? I'm just asking," he says.

Alain smiles "almost like that, the difference is that I am not rotten and I am aware of what I do, I am not sure what I am, I just know that I am stuck here and I am also caught between life and death," he says.

Grover and Annabeth's expressions fell

"Is there any way we can help?" Asks Annabeth "there has to be a way to get you out of here," she says and sniffs a little.

"I don't know, Annie. Maybe my dad does, but I doubt he'll say, I don't know if it's even possible for me to come back."

Annabeth squeezed her shoulder slightly, her eyes still shining from tears. "Let's find a way, Chiron must be able to help in some way."

Alain smiles sadly "Don't worry about me, I have endured five years here, I can take it a little longer, now you need to take that lightning back to Olympus and work things out." he said.

His eyes then went to the two other people ahead, a little further away.

Percy seemed a little unsure of what to do, just looking at them with folded arms and waiting to stand there. And Thalia ...

Thalia didn't even look him in the eye, keeping her back to them.

Alain swallowed, she was here.

Annabeth and Grover looked at each other.

"let's let you two talk for a while." Annabeth speaks a little quietly, with a slight smile and looks at Alain

" good luck ." she says and Alain nodded. The farewell would last longer, but Alain knows that his father is already on the edge of patience. Grover patted his shoulder before walking away. Annabeth took Percy by the arm "Come on, Seaweed head, let's wait in the throne room" She says and Percy seemed to want to know what was going on but she silenced him with a look and the two went out the door, closing it right behind.

Alain bit his lip a little nervous

"I imagine you are angry, perhaps?" she did not answer. Alain swallowed, If Thalia speaking is already scary, in silence it's worse. "I wish I could talk to you Lia. I swear, I wanted to-" he stopped when he heard a dry laugh.

"All this time ... all these years you were here .." her voice was shaky when she spoke.

She turned to him, still with her arms crossed and eyes on the floor, but he could see the tears coming from her eyes "I should have looked for you before ... I should .."

Alain approached "Hey this was not the fault ..-" he stopped in front of her, he didn't dare to get too close, he wanted to give her space.

"You didn't know what would happen, you didn't know I was here, None of this is your fault." he says and looks at her.

Thalia looked up and stared at him, her electric blue eyes directly in his. She snorted

"No, it wasn't mine ... it was yours." he didn't have time to think about her response before a fist connected to his face and he fell behind the impact.

He fell backwards to the floor with a pain in his chin

, he didn't even know he could feel pain, but by the way he could.

He got up on his elbows and sat on the stone floor and held his chin, looking at Thalia, surprised "What-"

"You idiot! Do you have any idea what I went through when you died?" She had lightning dancing around her body, her eyes shining and an expression of pure anger on her face, but she still had tears streaming down her cheeks.

She stepped forward and pulled him hard upward, and Alain stood up shakily and Thalia wasted no time before pushing him against a wall and holding him angrily by the collar of his Black shirt. "You said Nao would try to play the hero again and you lied to me!" She practically snarled at him and looked at him with such anger and hurt that Alain cowered against the wall. "I spent months mourning Alain! Every night after of your death, I went to your or my cottage and slept there, And every night I dreamed that you would be there beside me telling me that everything was just a nightmare, only to discover that when I really opened my eyes and woke up, you were not You ... you weren't there ... "her voice faltered and Thalia's angry expression turned to sadness, Alain softened her eyes." and I lost you Alain… not a day went by when I didn't think in you, in what I could have done differently, if I could have arrived in time and saved you, or even prevented you from going alone after Grover and Luke.

You have no idea how much I wish it was me who died. "She said and the tightening of the collar was already loose.

Alain lifted one of his hands and placed it on top of one of Thalia's hands that held her collar.

"Lia.…"

She interrupted him "I would do it, Alain. I would do it. It was only you that allowed me, if you were not so stupid and decided for yourself that you would save us, again." She looked at him with such determination

"I lost you once, it won't happen again." She said.

Alain's expression changed to concern

"Lia, what are you-"

His gaze intensified, tears no longer flowing from his eyes but they still shone, his red clusters "I will not lose you again. I will do whatever is necessary, but I will not lose you again and I will not leave you here." she says and Alain is impressed by her words.

He imagined that she would miss him, maybe even hate him, he did not imagine that she would be so willing to help him after so long.

He frowned "I thought you started to hate me after a while, I thought ..." his voice choked, He swallowed and knew that at that moment, if he could cry or his heart beat, he would be crying, a lot. And his heart almost came out of his chest so fast it would beat.

Thalia laughed "Oh Alain.…" She pulled her hands away from the collar of his shirt but then when he thought she would move away, she raised her hands to his face and held him on either side, he froze and looked into the blue eyes of daughter of Zeus. "during the time we spent together, you were always there for me, in my worst and best days. you took care of me and even though you were not the best with words, you made up for it with your actions.… every time you hugged me when I had nightmares, you said that nothing would hurt me and that you would always be there for me, that you would protect me… "Thalia smiled softly and then pressed her forehead to his, her hands still on his face and her eyes glued to theirs, their noses already touching and your lips are inches from each other. his eyes widened a little and her eyes lowered a little " how could i hate you when i'm in love with you? "he didn't have time to think of her words before she pulled him and his lips collided with hers.

N/cliffhanger! I know, it sucks when it happens hehe. but I'm already working on the next chapter, and yes, Thalia will find out that Luke stabbed Alain.

I don't know if this meeting was good for them, I thought about doing it quickly, but I decided to add some things to make it more coherent. With that idea of Thalia coming to the underworld, I got more inspiration and thought of two ways to move on. a summary of these ideas that doesn't reveal much about them is: Number 1: Thalia leaves the hunters and, to find a way to bring Alain back, she works with Chiron and the others at the camp. Number 2: She leaves the hunters, Luke makes a deal with her and she accepts (there will obviously be a fight between them) so that she can help Alain, as Luke has a way of bringing him back. this is just a simplified summary and does not reveal much about what will happen exactly in these two paths. There is much more, but I will not reveal everything, just the basics. if anyone has other ideas, type a third way, leave it in the comments or by PM.

07/05/2020 : So, I realized that I didn't leave part of the note here. so here's the thing. those two paths are ideas that I don't know which to follow, but I had another idea recently. then those ideas will be out of place, because I remembered, after reading the pjo's first book, that lightning was not the only thing stolen. I know, how could I forget something so important? but, fortunately, it can be fixed, and the helm of Hades will be of great importance for Alain to finally leave the underworld, I will not say how. you can try to guess how and in the next chapter I'll tell you who got it right. there will also be big revelations about Alain in the next chapters, and that will have to do with the family of he.

prophecy has a lot to do with the way Alain walks away

underworld and discovered many things about himself.

Sorry If have Errors.
