You know what's funny?
When you find out you're a demigod, and they bring you to this camp, they tell you the worst parts of this life.
(No they don't.)
You'll die young. Very young, but it doesn't get any worse than that.
(Such liars.)
You'll have to fight monsters. You'll have to work to stay alive and you'll still die, but it isn't any worse.
(I'm not dead yet, so why does it hurt so much?)
If you listened to them, you'd think that demigods don't have much else to lose, but their lives.
(I wish it was that simple. If it was life would be better.
She would be alive.
She isn't.)
Demigods are very vain, very selfish. They have nothing to lose besides their lives.
(Maybe that one is true, I lost my life when I lost her.
Maybe I am selfish to want her alive.)
We all die heroically.
(She was stabbed in the back! How is that heroic or fair?)
The world changes when one of us dies.
(I wish it did. The world seemed to stay stubbornly the same after she died.)
We all go to Elysium.
(She ended up in Asphodel. I can never see her again, even after I'm gone.)
We are all strong and brave.
(Then why does it feel like my heart has broken? Why do I feel the pain?)
We aren't important.
(Then why does her loss hurt so much?)
We are all heroes.
(If I was a hero, I would've saved her.
I couldn't save her.)
