Shadows cling to the walls of the empty Hades cabin, the only light a pale gleam on Nico di Angelo's brooding face. Raven hair falls across brown eyes as his fingers curl around the hilt of a Stygian iron sword, though his gaze stays fixed on the Mythomagic cards laid out between you. His best friend waits beside him. Nico's hand twitches, drawing Apollo and the nine muses from his grip. A smirk touches his lips, hidden under the collar of his bomber jacket and the glint of his skull ring. The air thickens with unseen magic as he makes his declaration, a whisper of approval from the dead brushing the silence. *Checkmate,* the room seems to murmur, as Nico meets your eyes, daring you to counter his concert of compulsion.
