When Octavian's feet touched the ground a wave of sickness came over him. He fell onto all fours and heaved. Dirt crawled up his arms, as if he was becoming something else. A creature of the ground.
"When you get back to camp, you will let me use you. The war and blood you crave shall be yours."
Octavian smiled weakly, "Yes, Gaea."
The further he got away from the Argo 2 and from Jason, the more out of control he got. He was no longer safe. He was no longer whole.
The second Octavian left, Jason got a migraine. He too was hit with a wave of sickness. He ran into the bathroom and spewed into the toilet. He cleaned up his mess. His vision became spotted. He lay back against the wall and took in a deep breath.
His memories began to fade. Ones of him and his sister. His drunken mother. Octavian was gone forever along with Reyna.
All that his mind kept onto was an orange camp that had something to do with ancient gods. And a name, his, at least he thought, Jason Grace.
When his vision cleared he walked out of the bathroom. He was met by girl with brown hair and tanned skin. She was beautiful.
"Jason, are you okay?" She asked softly.
"I-I don't-"
The girl gasped, "oh no, Jason! Not again. Come with me, you'll be okay."
The girl took Jason into a room with five other people, she brought over a boy with sea green eyes and black ruffled hair. He looked uneasy with being near Jason. What had happened between Jason and this boy did hate each other?
"Percy, did you ever get amnesia twice?"
"No...maybe it had something to do with Octavian."
The mention of the son of Apollo caused Jason head to pound.
"He made me remember." Jason murmured.
"What?" Piper exclaimed.
"When he was here, I could remember everything. My past, before I met you. But now he's gone, just like my memories."
"You didn't tell me!" Piper shouted, she slipped some charm speak into her voice, "do I need to know about anything else?"
"No."
"What happened between you two?"
"Nothing happened."
Piper narrowed her eyes, "whatever Jason!"
She stormed off. Jason looked over to Percy.
"It's okay bro, girls get crazy sometimes."
"Yeah."
He didn't sound so convinced. He was able to defeat Pipers charm speak. Maybe he was the crazy one?
The seven demigods of the prophecy continued on their quest. They were faced with twists and turns but they were victorious in the end.
Octavian, with the help of Gaea lead his Roman army to follow the seven. He wanted to go straight to Camp half-blood, but fate drew him to where Jason was. The two were never able to meet again, they had close encounters but they could never regain what was lost.
Eventually the moments they had shared were forgotten memories that neither could get back. They became strangers. It was if they had never met.
