At my table, we all sit and chat after everyone else has left.

"Well, that went well," Annabeth comments.

"Yeah." I say, "Very well. I'm surprised that they just... accepted the fact that I'm back from the dead without a second thought."

Percy smiles, "The campers are pretty easygoing these days, thanks to over at Camp Jupiter."

Camp Jupiter. I'd almost forgotten about that place. "What's going on over there these days?" I ask, curious.

"Eh, not much." Percy replies. "They're mostly doing the same things we are."

"Oh," I say. "Okay."

We're silent for a moment until Nick chimes in, "I've only been there once."

"Really?" I ask. "Why?"

"Because," He says, "the journey's so long. It takes a long time to just get there."

"You know, you could just shadow travel."

"It's hard."

"Really, now?" I'm surprised to hear that. Shadow travelling has never been that hard for me, except for when I was transporting the Athena Parthenos all those years ago. That drained my energy like nothing else ever has or ever will.

Nick's voice breaks through my thoughts, "Yeah. It's hard for everyone, almost impossible. Only Kate and Lia can do it."

"Hmm. You should be able to do it. You're my clone, and I've never had a problem with shadow travelling, save for my time with the Athena Parthenos.

Percy chimes in, "Well, you were raised in different environments. Maybe that has something to do with it?"

"Maybe," I say. I turn to Nick. "I'll teach you how to, if you want."

"Really?" He gasps, "That'd be great! When?"

I smile as I dissolve into the shadows, "Meet me at our cabin."
