Chapter 617: Return

She was officially a part of Dumbledores government and was doing well for herself there. Tracy and Daphne were like always there together and had grown into beauties in their own rights though Tracy was more muscular than Daphne due to her metalworking. Dumbledore was also there looking no older than thirty having a pleasant chat with Flammel and Vlad like the old friends they were. There were others who wanted to be here as well but couldn't make it for whatever reasons but this was a sudden thing so it couldn't be helped.-

All conversations ceased when the air began to shimmer and a moment later a man with long silver hair and golden eyes appeared in the room. "I'm back." he said with a smile as he looked over the crowd. "Took you long enough." Ron joked and everyone laughed. "Went a bit overboard after Zeus killed Nazgul , sorry about that." Nick said sheepishly. "You must have forgotten that Nazguls immortal like a phoenix." Daphne pointed out and Nick nodded. "I felt our connection vanish and lost it. For the record I hate vague prophecies by the way." he said with a sigh.-

Nick congratulated everyone for their own pieces of news such as Harrys wedding to Ginny or Flammels ascension to tier seven. The one he was most pleased with however was Hephaestus who had reached tier eight. The goddess herself put her foot down and made it clear that she wasn't taking no for an answer anymore. Nick no longer had the pressure of Zeus weighing himself down and agreed to marry her officially. His return wasn't met with only positivity however as many demanded that he pay for the destruction he caused before he fell asleep for a decade.-

His answer to this left many quite conflicted as he simply solved a whole mass of problems that still existed all at once. Some felt that it was never enough of a repayment and that he should spend the rest of his life in penitence but Nick refused. He may have been gone for a decade but he was still easily the third or fourth most powerful being on the planet so forcing the issue wasn't possible. It was on the day of his wedding , a massive event in and of itself , that a dark haired man in a tattered black robe appeared in the center of the aisle.-

"I would assume that as the uncle of the bride I am also invited to this event." the man spoke and everyone suddenly realized the identity of the man or rather god. "So long as you aren't here to crash the wedding then you are of course welcome to join the festivities." Nick said without any surprise on his face. In truth he had been expecting the god of the underworld ever since he awoke from his slumber so when he finally appeared Nick was not taken off guard.
