Someone asked if Lucy was in love with Leo. I meant fond of, not in love. In this situation, she's just compassionate for his sad past.

Anya Sharma POV

I stared at the blue eyed girl. At her sight, I felt relieved… she looked more… normal. Sure, she had the old-time styled dresses, but everything else of her placed her in another time. Her hair, her choice of words, her whole assemble in general. Even her name was less old: Talia. Or was it Thalia? Tahlia? Taliah? Talya?

"Where are you from?" Talia/Thalia asked. Let's go for Thalia.

"I'm originally form India, but I live in Canada."

Thalia's face brightened up.

"Really? That's so awesome! Do the trees really change from green to orange in Canada?"

I smiled at her enthusiasm.

"Yes. Thalia, where am I?"

She looked around at the other people.

"Do I really have to deliver the blow?" she asked.

They all nodded. Thalia groaned.

"Anya, do you believe in Magic?"

"Well… I… guess.. uh I don't… yes, but-

"Great. I know this a lot to take, but your in a magical land. It's called Narnia. You're not on earth anymore…"

I swallowed.

"How? In the other world- I'm missing? My family?"

"Anya, either you're missing… or you died."

Jason Grace POV

I walked down the path and into the forest. I watched as the sunlight and the branches of trees played shadows onto the ground. This was the sort of walks Piper adored. She loved walks in nature. I remembered when she would bribe me out of training for an hour or two. We would walk in the forest surrounding Camp-Half Blood. W would spend sometimes hours just talking about anything, everything, sometimes nothing.

I know that Piper felt like I was not taking risks, nor sacrifice anything for this 'us'. I was really trying, but some things were urgent and required my full attention. I knew she felt like my shadow, but what she didn't notice was that she outshined me in so many ways: she knew who she was, what she wanted. I was still not sure.

But one thing for sure, she would not be able to say I was not doing sacrifices: I was probably going to have to sacrifice everything my sister loved.
