As consolation for not updating for the last few days, I'm posting another chapter. Now, this is an idea that I've had forever. I'm not going to discuss it in the author's note, like I've done in the past. It's meant to be a surprise.

Also, for those of you who are dying while waiting for Blood of Olympus to come out already *cough* me *cough*, I would like to tell you about a fanfiction by foreverskysong, one of the best authors on this site. The 105th chapter was recently posted, which is insane. For those of you who haven't read it yet, just go to the Most Reviews filter, and it's the first one there. It's amazing, the characters are in character, there's a healthy balance of action and fluff, the grammar is good, and her writing style is similar to that of Uncle Rick himself. Go check it out!

Lucas Cast's POV

I think I might be crazy. The constant deja vu. The familiar faces everywhere. The belief that gods are real. The flashbacks that haven't happened yet to me, as far as I know. The familiar faces. The scar underneath my left arm that brings me searing pain when I touch it. They all contribute to what I think is insanity.

I was getting a coffee at Starbucks one day when it happened. A couple sat down at a table, and as I looked at them, I got a stabbing pain behind my eyes, as if my brain were trying to blow up a locked safe in the back of my mind. The girl was beautiful, with curly blonde hair and startling, intelligent gray eyes. The boy had wind-blown black hair and powerful sea-green eyes. Looking at them made me feel an immense feeling of gratitude, for reasons that I didn't know. Their names suddenly popped into my head. Annabeth and Percy. How I knew those names, I didn't know.

The girl, Annabeth, looked at me and caught her breath. "Percy," I heard her say, with a familiar voice that brought back memories that I didn't think were mine. "It's him."

Percy looked at me and his jaw dropped. "Luke." he muttered, just barely loud enough for me to hear.

All of a sudden, I stumbled, my head feeling like it was about to split open, memories flooding my mind like a broken dam. Memories of running away from home. Going to a place called Camp Half-Blood. Stealing a lightning bolt. Joining an army. Being possessed. Trying over and over to kill that boy, Percy. Failing to kill Percy. A battle on top of Mount Olympus, ending in my death. The flashbacks ended with one final sentence.

"Family, Luke. You promised."

My name wasn't Lucas Cast.

It was Luke Castellan.

I walked over to Percy and Annabeth, who were staring at me in awe. "Hey, guys. Save the world recently?"

Annabeth started crying. She threw her arms around me. "Luke. Luke." she said over and over, as if trying to comprehend that I was still here, still alive. Percy just stood there, speechless.

"Annabeth, it's okay. I'm here. I promised, remember? Family." I said, sheer happiness filling my heart, Annabeth sobbing harder. "And Percy... you saved the world."

Percy's sea-green eyes glistened with tears. "Nah, man. That was all you."

"Oh, come on. You're a hero."

Percy laughed, a laugh filled with joy. "You're the hero, Luke. You sacrificed yourself."

I grinned. "But I'm back now. And I remember."

And I did. I remembered every bad and good choice I'd made. I remembered giving my life to save Olympus.

Annabeth pulled out of my arms and took Percy's hand, tears streaking her beautiful face. "Yeah. And we're a family again."

Family. That one word made me feel something that I hadn't felt ever since I was fourteen, while I was running around America with Thalia and Annabeth. I felt like I wasn't alone.

As I walked out of the Starbucks, I felt content, for the first time since rebirth, as if all my past-life wrongs were resolved, which they were.

Luke, I thought. My name is Luke.

Is it bad that I had tears in my eyes while writing? I love the idea of this, Luke's reincarnation getting his memories back and seeing Percy and Annabeth again. I hope you liked it, too! No flames, etc.

Yours in demigoddishness,
