In The End, Not All People Are Created Equal
"Percy Jackson was a hero, not the heroes you think of in myths, defeating dangerous monsters, and doing things simply because he could. He did what he did because he needed to."
There was silence in the pavilion.
"One of his biggest beliefs was that every person was created equal, and that no person wasn't worth saving." She paused for a moment.
"And that's what he did, he saved us all, and not just us, but every generation after us as well." She blinked away the tears that threatened to show, and swallowed hard.
"But, in the end, he was wrong, not all people are created equal, there are exceptions to his rule. Leo, Jason, Silena, Luke." Again, she had to pause and swallow the lump that was consistently trying to form in her throat.
"But the biggest exception was himself, and without people like Percy, or like Jason, or like any of the others that sacrificed themselves for us, we would not be here today."
As she finished the pavilion erupted with the roar of applause. And she knew, life would continue, not because she wanted it to, but because Percy would have wanted it to.
(A/N)- Don't worry I haven't stopped writing Perseus: Praetor of the 15th Apollinaris Legion, I justed got this idea earlier today and wanted to post it. This is pretty short and it's just a one shot, but I thought it was a good idea. Especially considering the fact that the likely hood of one of the two characters I stated (Percy and Jason) will die in 'The Blood Of Olympus' is pretty high. Although I have to admit I don't want to see either of them die :(
