"This is a short one." Reyna said
JASON DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE LEO
Jason and Leo smiled at each other.
But he was starting to think…least dangerous option in this place.
"That's true. If Cal is given the order to not destroy anything then he can actually be quite fun to hang out with." Hermes said
"Really now?" Jason asked. Hermes nodded and shrugged.
As they climbed the icy staircase…probably turn him into a Popsicle.
"Yep. You want to watch out for these swords." Ares said
Then there was the ice princess… no warmth in her expression.
"There never is as she is the ice princess. She's always quite cold." Artemis said
"That's kinda creepy." Piper said
She regarded Jason like…one she couldn't wait to dissect.
"Can we please not talk about your dissection?" Thalia said
"I mean sure." Jason shrugged
"Its unnerving." Thalia said
If these were Boreas's kids…heroes quite as fast as the others did.
"He can be pleasant to talk to unless he's in a very bad mood. Even now when they're saying that he's not in a great mood, he'll still hear you out." Hermes said
"That's good. I think." Jason said
"It is. Most of the times." Hermes assured him.
"Good chances, I guess." Jason said
Jason worried that he'd led…but she didn't let go.
"Yeah, it helps knowing that somebody is next to you." Annabeth said. She and Percy exchanged small smiles.
"It'll be fine," she promised. "Just a talk, right?"
"Not to be pessimistic but sometimes talks can turn into a lot more." Triton said
"But it's a good thing that Boreas is one of the friendliest." Annabeth said
At the top of the stairs…What was that about?
"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Percy said
"Is she jealous or something?" Katie asked
"Who knows?" Silena shrugged "Maybe because Jason took her hand for reassurance not warmth." She said
Jason rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Jason didn't have an answer… that just drove him up the wall.
"I bet that's annoying. Knowing your only sibling is out there but you don't know any way of finding her." Castor said
Jason and Thalia exchanged sad smiles.
In the picture, Thalia looked…were sharper — like a hawk's.
Thalia raised an eyebrow at her brother.
"Good thing or bad?" she asked
"Good. It's like you're always alert." Jason said
"Though only your eye color is the same, anybody can look at you and tell that you're related." Nico said. The two of them looked at Nico.
"How's that?" Jason said
"It's just a thing. You can tell by looking at cousins or siblings and just tell that they're related. Or at best friends and tell that they are best friends." Nico said.
"Yes. I can easily guess that you five are cousins." Hermes said to the big three kids. "And that Tyson is Percy's brother." Hermes said to Percy and Tyson who grinned at each other.
"And we can tell that you, Apollo, Ares and Mr.D are brothers." Percy said "And that Apollo and Artemis are twins." He said "Though the twins do look similar in certain ways." He added. Apollo and Artemis smiled at each other. Then Hermes, Apollo, Ares and Dionysus grinned at each other. It had been time since they'd spent time together or thought about it. It felt good to even think about the four of them together again.
Reyna decided to continue as nobody said anything.
Still, Thalia looked so familiar…had they been separated?
"Of course I knew about you but I thought you were dead. I had to move on. It was too hard to dwell on the past." Thalia said. Jason sighed.
"I would've made contact." He said "But I didn't even remember that you were my sister and that sucks so much." He said. Thalia and Jason gave each other a side hug.
"I'm sorry that you ran away from home because of me." Jason said
"I'm not. I hated that place. It was abusive. You were the only reason that I stayed in the first place. And on the run I made friends." Thalia said. She, Annabeth and Grover exchanged small smiles though they were a little sad.
Zeus was frowning at the thought of Thalia being abused. He wasn't too happy about separating Jason and Thalia either but he knew that it had to be done as Jason was born Roman and Thalia was born Greek and though he wasn't fond of the thought of Thalia being on the run at such a young age, he thought that perhaps it was for the better as her mother was abusive.
Hestia was smiling at her brother. She knew that there were some changes in him and he just wasn't being too visible or vocal about it but she did notice him occasionally smiling or looking proud. She was hoping that he would become like he used to be before and the thought that he might just become like that made her extremely happy.
Hera was glad about the fact that she had taken Jason. Even she knew that Thalia and Jason had to be separated because of the Greek and Roman division and Hera still wasn't fond of Thalia. She wasn't liking that her husband was starting to try to become closer to his children but she didn't say anything yet. Hestia sighed as she understood what Hera was thinking. She hoped that she would also get her old sister back and she would continue to hope for that.
Hera had taken those memories…that made him even more resentful.
Hera grimaced at that.
The Greek demigods sighed. The roman ones gave Jason a worried look. They were not used to him being this angry and had never thought that he would have such angry thoughts but then again they couldn't blame him. His memories had been taken without his permission or his will.
Even Zeus shot him a worried look. He didn't like that even Jason had such thoughts even though it was just for a few seconds but even he understood that having no memories could be a pain and that it could be very frustrating to look for a piece of information in your head and you just couldn't grasp it. Then Castor voiced out what everybody was thinking.
"It's not your fault for having such thoughts. Your memory was taken without your permission and without any warning whatsoever. And now you're supposed to go to save the person who put you in this position." Castor said
"It's… frustrating to know that I have no memories. The memories that Leo and Piper have at that point of time is purely out of the mist and they have no real memories of me. It hurts to know that I know I have a sister and that the book me has no way to find her. Even though all this isn't happening to the current me, it still hurts." Jason said
Thalia gave him a side hug and slung an arm around his shoulders. Zeus resisted to go and join the two of them though he wasn't sure that he wanted to resist it. The demigods looked worried and so did some of the gods. The gods gave him small sympathetic smiles. Chiron sighed.
"Look man, we don't know how our relation started because of the travel back in time thing but we will get some fuzzy memories of them back once we finish the book and I think that they will become relatively solid once we go back to our time but we know that you're our brother and that we do love you. You don't have to worry about it right now as none of this is happening right now." Percy said gently.
"He's right." Leo agreed. The demigods nodded.
"You're our half-brother too." Apollo said. Hermes and the younger gods nodded.
"Our nephew." Poseidon said. Hades, Demeter and Hestia nodded.
Jason gave them all a smile and grateful looks. Even Zeus looked a little grateful which the demigods and gods did not miss this time. It did surprise them but they did feel a little glad inside that maybe even he was changing.
"Thanks guys. I love you too." Jason said. The demigods and gods grinned and smiled and nodded at him.
Reyna smiled and continued.
"Hey." Piper touched…more he wished it had been real.
Jason shakily ran a hand through his hair.
Stop that, he told himself…wouldn't mix with Camp Half-Blood
"Not at that point, no." Reyna said "Even if at that point we wouldn't have had a problem, Octavian would freak." She said
"Where is he? Wasn't he supposed to come for this set of books?" Percy asked "Though it is much better without him." He added.
"Well this note says that he will come only when his role actually matters and that he will not be turned into a god." Nico said, reading the note which appeared "The word 'not' is in italics." He said amusedly. A few chuckles and snickers.
After this quest, who knew…present she was hoping to open.
"Those looks and smiles are sounding really wrong and unnerving." Will said
"This is the throne room,"…was not the same as his.
"I'm fairly sure that it isn't." Hermes said "And I don't think that anybody wants to find out what her definition of fun is." He added
"What's your definition of fun?" Percy asked Jason
"Parties or games or stuff. Bungee jumping." Jason shrugged "Definitely not killing people." He said
"Yeah. Agreed." He said "Though mine is more outdoorsy kind of thing. Skating, Surfing, swimming and water sports." Percy said. Jason nodded.
"If you murder a murderer then the number of murderers remain the same." Katie said
"There is a huge flaw in that." Nico said. Katie raised an eyebrow at him. "Kill two murderers." Nico said. Everybody snorted at that.
Hades snickered. Persephone chuckled.
"Bro, lets not publicize those thoughts." Hazel chuckled.
"I'm just saying." Nico shrugged.
"Um, okay," he managed…So blissfully ignorant."
"Sorry to break it to you but I don't think that we're going to be huge fans of you." Percy said
Piper rested her hand…What's your name?"
"She wouldn't like it much that you do not recognize her." Ares grimaced.
"Oh uh well…" Piper sighed.
The girl sniffed with distaste…big, fluffy flakes as soft as cotton
"The drama though." Thalia said
"Had to make sure they all understood." Nico said
"Now, come," Khione said…survive your little talk."
"Wow." Dakota muttered
"Done." Reyna said
"Makes it my turn." Dionysus sighed.
