Pushed out of his own existence,

A pawn, a piece to a game he never wanted to play

He stood

Pushed into the darkness, he watched

The grim water surging to life with a glance of his skin

He watched

He watched the fading heart of his love

He watched the gray streak against the gold

Watched how it became darker and duller as they ventured farther away from the world

He watched the emptiness in front of him and wondered what horror would come next

What nightmare would become a threat against his life

To end hers

He held her hand in his, tracing along her scars

He watched her tense face relax, if only for a moment

And Perseus Jackson, the fallen hero, fell once more into the darkness


This one is also really emotional at least to me. I am so excited HoH is coming today. Don't you guys just love Amazon preorder because I do. Well, now I need to prepare myself for HoH so that I don't start crying when I open the book.
