The Asgardian Son Of Hades in THOR: Ragnarok - BOOK 3

Nico found himself in Thor's dream.

"Thor!" Nico shouted.

"Nico?" He asked, confused.

"Look, there are things you need to know." Nico stated, "We don't have much time. Hela has taken over Asgard, the Warriors Three and Sif are dead, Heimdall is still missing, and I think he's sheltering the people. I have asked for help from some allies, but I don't know how much they'll do...."

"Nico," Thor sounded distraught, "Where are you?"

Nico swallowed, "Hela has taken me captive. She's keeping me as a spoil of war almost by using a magic device to put me to sleep. She's the only one that knows how to wake me. I'll be fine though - she's not going to kill me. You need to get back to Asgard. Take Loki with you. We need you."

"Who are your allies?" Thor frowned.

"Thor... there are things I couldn't tell you. I wasn't born immortal, Thor, nor am I Asgardian. I'm a demigod of another kind... I'm Greek. My father is Hades - Greek god of Death. Odin would never have let me live if he knew.... because my great grandmother is Gaea his first wife, and she betrayed him for Kronos.... but Gaea is Hela's mother."

Thor looked stunned.

"I did not know about Hela, but she and Gaea are probably the reason your father hated the Greeks. He used to hunt us down and kill us. I was terrified that if I told anyone besides Loki, that Odin would murder me. I'm sorry. However, I prayed to the Greeks, and asked for their help and allegiance. This message is a sign that they are now our allies... though you will need to make it official."

There was a tense silence before Thor smiled at Nico, "Nico, I would love to be allies with, and get to meet your family."

Nico was surprised, but then he smiled, "Thank you, Thor."

"I will save you Nico, don't worry." Thor said boldly, "I'm working on getting to Asgard..... Banner, and a Valkyrie are helping now, and we are in a ship... we're on our way. I took a quick nap we'll be there in 30 minutes!"

The dream started to flicker.

"Our times up." Nico said softly, "I hope to see you soon." He started to turn away.

"Wait! Nico!" Thor shouted.

Nico looked at him.

"Stay safe.... I'll save you... I promise." Thor told him.

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

Then the dream cut off... and the torture began.
