The gods are falling.
It started with Pan but the other gods can't pass their domains on so informally.
The demigods who survived the fall of the planet have gathered in the remains of the Big House. They taste the stale air. Annabeth, with a cut that will surely scar if she survives long enough tracing her jaw, takes the lead.
"We don't have time. What is happening?" She searched the faces in front of her. Nico stepped forward.
"They have -had- heirships. Has anyone been given a heirship? Greek and Roman heirs are the same." Athena and Poseidon had given Annabeth and Percy their heirships. Elaborate crowns in gray and teal respectively appeared on their heads. A circlet replaced the one Thalia had lost in an earthquake.
Even with just three domains restored to order, the world sort of settled. The Mist was still out of order.
Crowns started appearing on Nico's head. A tall, simple, dark gray one. Many almost-identical gray tiara-crowns. A red circlet from Hestia. A flobby green cap from Thanatos so much like Bianca's that another track of saltwater made its way through the dirt on the faces of the people who had met her. Even Eros sent a small pale red tiara.
Piper got all four winds, Aeolus, and her mom's crowns in the span of fifteen seconds.
Travis took on the Hermes crown. This was one thing he and Connor couldn't share.
Kymopleia gave Percy a green coronet. Will got Apollo. Katie got a daisy crown from Demeter.
Hazel got Hecate, Iris, and Persephone, and she set to work with Katie to regrow the world.
Leo got a crown from Hephaestus and, surprisingly, Khione.
Clarisse got a helm from Ares while Frank got Hera's diadem. Jason inherited Zeus's laurel wreath.
These were consolation prizes for the deaths of their friends, their family.
Every single verita knew it.
