"Family Luke. You promised."

Luke Castellan woke up with a start. His heart was beating rapidly and there were tears in his eyes.

He had regretted what he had done. There was no question about it. He knew it was wrong. But when he came to realize it, it had been too late.

But he had to forget it now. He had to.

He had to work now. And emotions are not good for it.

He had to let it go.

But he didn't know how.

Neither if he ever wanted to let go.

Is there a way to ever forget all that? Forget those days? The pain? The happiness? The people? Most importantly, her?

The girl who he had met on the road. The same one who become his world. The same one he always wanted to protect. The one whose death caused him to fall apart, lose all his goodness and succumb to evil.

The girl who stole his heart.

The girl who had died to protect him and Annabeth.

Thalia.

The one he can't ever forget.

And with that Luke Castellan got up, put on his cloak and walked out.

He had to do something to get his mind off these things.

There was no way except...

He had to talk to him.
