Jason POV

My head swam in circles as I got to the light. Was she safe? Could she have possibly survived? A growling stopped me in my tracks and I turned to see a massive three-headed dog. Cerberus, I recognized. And that was the last thing I remember before I blacked out.

When I woke up again, I was in a large, comfy king bed. On the nightstand next to me, a notecard read: Welcome to Elysium! The Home of Many Heroes! I groaned and fell back onto my pillow. Exhaustion kept me from asking myself, "How did I get here?"

A voice jerked me awake. My first hope was Piper, but it turned out to be a wind spirit, fetching me my dinner. I took this chance and asked, "Excuse me? Have you happened to meet a girl named Piper McLean? She's around my age, and-" Before I could finish, the wind spirit cut me off.

"The Girls' Corridor is down the hallway, second left." The spirit said. I raced out of the bed so fast that I blew away all of the napkins on my room service meal. The exhaustion had suddenly worn out- I could see her again. The two of us, in Elysium. The FAMOUS Elysium. Maybe being dead might be a good thing- at least if it meant the two of us could be together for eternity, happily.

Following the directions the wind spirit gave me, I reached the girls' hallway. I walked down the corridor, hoping there was a nametag that read "Piper McLean". My heart grew heavier with every step and questions flashed through my head. "What if she's not in Elysium?" "Or what if she's still alive, and alone?" No. I couldn't bear it. My luck couldn't be that good. I sank to the floor with my head in my hands and started crying. Suddenly, a voice, soft but shaky, brought me back to reality. "J-Jason?"

I glanced up. Our eyes met. I saw her beautiful smile and her vibrant irises as she crouched down next to me. Shocked, I looked up into her grinning face. We both stood up and embraced tightly. Pulling apart from the hug, I looked into her eyes again. It was truly her. The love of my life. Our lips met and I suddenly felt alive again.

Piper POV

I woke up and the first thing I noticed was the sore pain in my back. I tried to sit up, but my attempt was unsuccessful. Looking around, I noticed I was in some type of hotel room. The king bed I laid upon was comfortable and surrounded by fluffy pillows. A plasma-screen TV was on the wall opposite of the bed, and I glanced over at the chestnut-wood nightstand. A notecard read: Welcome to Elysium! The Home of Many Heroes! Elysium. I was really in the Underworld. I was really dead. And, I had made it to the famed Elysium! But what about Jason? Where was he? He had to have made it to Elysium as well. I had to go find him, because without him, I would never find happiness.

I sat up slowly and blinked. Outside my window I saw a beautiful green valley with a sparkling river running through it. "Paradise," I whispered, marveling at the beautiful sight. The reds and yellows of the sunset casting a red glare over my room, I got up out of bed and walked out the door. I frowned- there was a sound. Someone crying. I walked around the corner to see a figure slouched in the corner, head in hands. I could recognize those hands anywhere.

"J-Jason?" I asked, my voice soft and shaky. The figure glanced up and I ran towards him. My eyes met his ice-blue ones, and my mouth broke out in a grin. His muscular arms embraced me in a long hug and he pulled apart. Neither of us said anything. I leaned in slowly, and our lips met in the most passionate kiss, my hands running through his dirty blond hair.

He smirked. "Let's go to your room."
