Reyna was bitter, not that anyone could tell. First she had fallen for Jason Grace, son of Jupiter who had slowly started to return her affections before having his memory wiped by Juno, deposited at Camp Half-Blood and falling in love with Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite. Then Percy Jackson turned up, with his sea green eyes how couldn't she have fallen for him, yet he was in love with Annabeth Chase even though he had no idea who she was because of Juno's (or Hera's) meddling. She had watched as all of the seven fell in love, even Leo found Calypso and while she was happy having friendships with them, her heart ached for something else. She had once been told by Venus that she would not find love or comfort in the arms of a demigod. She had made her peace with the gods over the love lives of her friends and had struck up strong friendships with Annabeth and Piper, but that did not mean she was not searching for more.
The demigod who perhaps understood what she was going through most was Nico DiAngelo, who for years had loved Percy and then fallen in love with Will Solace, the two demigods would spend hours talking after the way that Nico dispatched Bryce Lawrence made Reyna and Coach Hedge realize all his darkest secrets, including the one that up until that point, only Jason had known. What happened next to her was more than she could have hoped for.
