Letters From the Lost: Percy Jackson and the Olympians

by Lune Rossignol

A collection of letters from the PJO universe. One last chance for some of the characters who were lost to explain, ask forgiveness, and say goodbye. Rated T just to be safe, since people die in PJO. Luke Castellan, Silena Beauregard, Zoë Nightshade, Charles Beckendorf, and Captain Emily Zhang. Also some father-son bonding for Nico di Angelo and Hades.

4. IV: Charles Beckendorf

To: Perseus Jackson

Son of Poseidon

Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill

3.141 Farm Road, Long Island, NY

From: Charles Beckendorf

Percy —

Silena was writing to Clarisse and I figured I probably oughta send you something, what with the Princess Andromeda and all. Wish to the Kindly Ones it'd gone the way we planned, but if only one of us could get out I'm glad it was you so don't go beating yourself up over it. I don't have any blood family worth mentioning anymore, which meant leaving Silena was the worst bit and she's with me now, anyway. Know I shouldn't be glad about that, but picturing her loving someone else hurt like bringing down a sledgehammer on your finger. We're gonna be reborn, so fingers crossed Silena's mom thinks we're tragic and sweet and we end up together after. Tell your stepdad (can't remember his name for the life of me) I'm sorry about the hoof prints on that snazzy car of his and that if he hasn't gotten it fixed already my sister Nyssa'll do it for free, since she likes working on cars. Di Angelo said some crazy Latino brother of mine put wings on my dragon, blew it up, turned it into a figurehead on a flying ship, and rebuilt the body from scratch. And that he found some ancient secret bunker in the woods, he's got the fire gift, and he's the head counselor now. Tell whatshisface he did good, not to do it again, and that Festus is a weird name for a dragon.

Guess that's all since Di Angelo is getting antsy waiting around on me. Make sure that nut looks after the Cabin 9 kids ok, specially Harley since he's the littlest.

PS — Better hurry up and marry Chase before you miss your shot, she's the second-best girl I ever met. —B

A/N: Beckendorf for BabaLooWho!

This took an age. Oh well, here it is now. It's quite a bit shorter than the others, but I think Beckendorf tends towards succinctness, especially when he has to write it out by hand. Hopefully everyone likes it! I think I'm going to wrap this up in a few more chapters. I was thinking about doing some more obscure characters to finish up, maybe Marie Levesque or Emily Zhang. Any thoughts?
