Jason slowly opened his eyes, his vision was blurry at first, but his eyes adjusted to his surroundings.

he was lying on the grass and his clothes were covered in dirt. he slowly got up and looked around. nothing could have prepared him for what he saw. just in front of him, was camp half_blood.

"this is... weird."

Jason didn't know why, but he started walking towards the cabins. he looked up to the sky, and noticed the dark clouds that were approaching the camp.

after two minutes of walking, Jason reached the cabins. he looked around and was a bit surprised when he didn't see anybody. he started walking faster.

"um... hello... anybody here?"

nothing. it seemed like the camp was abandoned.

"this is impossible." Jason said to himself."chiron would never..."

before he could finish his sentence, a lightning struck the ground and the wind started blowing faster and faster. rain started pouring down and thunder rumbled.

"what the...? I'm pretty sure the camp borders keep the weather sunny. something is definitely wrong."

suddenly, the earth started shaking and distant howls filled

Jason looked back and saw an army of monsters, consisting of hellhounds, cyclops, Drakons and Gegeines.

one of the cyclopses shouted"look. a demigod son of Jupiter. kill him."

Jason had no time to think what were all these monsters doing at camp, or how did the cycops know he was a son of Jupiter. he just had enough time to run.

the monsters started running after him. he was surrounded. they were running to him in all directions. so he did the only thing that came to his mind. he ran to the closest cabin; Zeus's cabin.

he quickly closed the doors behind him. he knew the door wasn't going to hold the monsters.

he turned around and started searching the cabin for something to use as a weapon. this was his cabin, at the time he stayed at camp Half_blood. he knew he didn't stand a chance against all those monsters, but he had to try.

Suddenly, Jason heard a deep voice "You disappointed me, son."

Jason saw it. the zeus statue. it was...alive.

The statue moved, getting closer to Jason.

"You dishonered our legacy, Jason. you made me so disappointed, my son."

Jason backed away, still staring at his father's statue "the feeling is mutual, father."

"you dare mock me, child?"

the statue raised it's hands into the air, electricity emitting from it's fingers.

"I will kill you. you shall set a great example for all those who dare insult the king of gods."

Jason didn't know what to do. stay and be reduced to ashes by his father's lightning or run outside, where a whloe army of monsters were waiting for him.

as zeus preapared to throw lightning at him, Jason decided that dying when fighting monsters was better than dying by Zeus's lightning.

he opened the doors and literally, threw himself out, right before the lightning could hit him.

he hit the ground, hard. he thought he was going to pass out.

Jason quickly got up. only to find himself on a certain flying ship.

"you got to be kidding me."

Argo 2 was moving through the sky, but Jason could tell that something was definitely wrong. first, argo 2 was destroyed, as he remembered. second, there was a thick fog in the sky and it was deathly quite. like really quite. not even the sound of wind could be heard. third, no one was on board.

suddenly, he heard a loud, screeching noise. he looked up at the sky, only to find stymphalian birds diving towards him.

"this shit is getting worse and worse every second."

Jason ran to the the door that led to the bedrooms. he didn't have a weapon, and facing off against these birds with nothing to use as a weapon, it was literally suicide.

he managed to reach the door just on time. he closed it behind him, the birds scratching it and trying to get in.

Jason noticed a green light glowing from underneath a door. he reluctantly let go of the door, no longer feeling the stymphalian birds trying to force their way into the hallway.

Jason slowly approached the door which the green light was coming from.

Jason thought "well, great. all I needed was to relive such memories."

He was standing at Piper's bedroom. he didn't want to go in. that would mean remembering his worst memory. it would mean facing the truth that he was denying during his last days

eventually, he decided to go in and investigate the light.

Jason opened the bedroom's door and found it empty. he noticed the source of the green light immediately.

on Piper's bed, katoptris was shining an emerald green. Jason slowly approached the bed and picked it up. the light faded quickly, and soon various images flooded Jason's mind.

the first image was a black sword, like Nico's, but there were some red markings on it. the second image was an army of demigods, attacking some monsters. the third image, was the most shocking.

it was him. Jason saw himself. he was clad in a dark armor. his hair was white instead of blonde and cascaded down to his shoulders. his face was covered in blood and he was missing an arm.

"this has to be a bad dream. or maybe I'm going mad."

Jason dropped the knife and turned around to leave, only to find himself in the wolfs house.

"I must be going crazy. what is the meaning of this?"

Jason started running to the door. he needed to get out of this place.

he pushed open the doors, only tto be greeted by a legendary female wolf he recognized : Lupa

the wolf stared down at him and said :

"congratulations, Jason grace, son of Jupiter. you did it."

Jason didn't know what to do. he looked into the eyes of his former trainer and said :

"ummm... can you tell me exactly what I did?"

"you sacrificed your life for the one who you loved. you accepted your fate. you didn't fight it. like a true warrior."

"well, I didn't have anything to lose. I lost everything. there was nothing I wanted to live for"

Lupa only chuckled and motioned Jason to follow her.

"tell me Jason. do you know why do wolves hunt in packs?"

Jason answered uncertainty" because they have a better chance at catching their prey?"

"correct." Lupa lead Jason into the woods and after some minutes, she stopped and Jason did the same.

"wolves hunt together because by working together, we achieve what we can't achieve alone. your father, for example. he is the strongest god, but you know what happened when other gods trapped him and made him to promise to be a better king.

"yeah. I heard that story."

"then never forget it's lesson."

"and what was the lesson?"

Lupa didn't speak, but she smiled at Jason before she disappeared. Jason wasn't surprised at all. he had gotten used to disappearing or waking up in another place.

suddenly, he found himself leaning against a tree. it was midnight, and the only source of light was coming from a campfire in front of him.

around the campfire, some people were laughing while sitting on a tree trunk. Jason looked closely, and recognized them. first, there was Percy, who was roasting some marshmallows with Annabeth. next to them were Hazel and Frank, laughing together. Nico and will were talking and next to them, Leo was sitting with a girl who Jason didn't recognize.

suddenly, Jason felt jealous. all of his friends, having a good time and enjoying each others company. what happened to him before he died?

everything fell apart in his life. the girl he loved left him and a stupid prophecy that foretold hihis death.

someone placed a hand on Jason's shoulder. Jason quickly turned around and Saw something he never expected, or rather, someone.

Piper was standing there, smiling brightly.

she was staring at him with those intense kaleidoscopic eyes. Jason was unable to speak. he had mixed feelings.

First, he was happy. he was happy to see her again, smiling at him like nothing happened. like they never broke up.

then, he felt sad. here he was, standing in front of the girl he loved, but he knew he would never be with her.

"what's the matter, sparky? did you miss me already?"

Jason just shrugged "maybe."

Piper took his hand in hers "come on. let's go for a walk."

they headed to the woods, holding hands.

Jason's mind was racing and his heart was beating fast. he used to have similar dreams after they broke up.

Piper noticed Jason's uneasiness.

"is something wrong, Jason?"

Jason took a deep breath and said : "Piper, can I ask you a question?"

"anything, Jason. what is it?"

"would you ever break up with me?"

Piper was shocked. she didn't expect this question.

"Jason, what kind of question is that?"

"please, Piper. just tell me."

Piper's eyes were filled with tears "Jason, I would never do such a thing."

she then hugged him, burying her face in his chest. Jason hesitantly hugged her back and let himself enjoy this.

then, he heard laughter. Jason looked around. he couldn't see Piper. in fact, he couldn't see anything. everything was white. it was like he was standing in nothing.

"even in death, you are a failure, Jason grace."

Jason turned around. this time, he didn't see Piper. he saw Caligula.

Jason ran to him, intending to kill him with his bare hands. it was Caligula who killed him. he wanted revenge.

but before Jason could reach him, he was hit with something and fell to the ground. he slowly got up and noticed that he wasn't hit, but rather, he ran into something. something like an invisible wall between him and Caligula.

Caligula laughed again "you couldn't see that? well, that wasn't a surprise. you could never see the truth."

Jason didn't look at him" shut up."

"you couldn't see that that daughter of Aphrodite didn't love you. she was just using you. you couldn't see that you, as always, failed."

Jason shouted "shut up."

he aimed his fist at Caligula's face, but couldn't hit him because of the invisible wall.

Caligula smiled "your efforts are in vain. you can't do anything. as always, you are a useless, stupid boy."

Jason punched again. although he didn't hit Caligula, the invisible wall cracked, like a glass. Jason, now aware that he could break the wall, started punching it. he wanted to shatter it, only to kill Caligula. he smiled mentally.

"
