"Which is why you sound so thrilled," Nico drawled in reply, shooting the god a look before returning to scowl at the scene before him. And it wouldn't be worth pointing out that because Momus was there, technically Nico wasn't alone. He knew the guy was worse than unhelpful, more likely to crack some witty remark than actually do something if Nico was about to be killed. Just his luck too.

To be fair, he probably shouldn't have traveled to Delphi alone. If Rome and Athens were harder places to demigods to be, places practically seething with history and ghosts, then Delphi was even worse. And he really should have learned before now that looking into things on his own tended to go badly. But he hadn't, which was why he stood in front of the ruins now. In the distance, olive trees climbed the mountainside, dancing in the wind like an oddly vertical, green lake, while the ruins before him stood ominously quiet. That wouldn't last.
