itd been 11 years. 11 years since nero, and lester. 11 years since nico lost the only one he truly felt he could call a friend as a child.

jason..

and now the crew sits, 2022. aging, jason was gone and some of them werent willing to open up about it. piper had accepted it. she was sad, upset, she still loved him as a friend. but she now had a wife, carrying her child. her wife, maggie. was holding her. every year the crew honored jason.

apollo rose the sun high, for a prefect sunny day as jason would want. and percy held annabeth a little closer. they sat in a circle. talking of storys of their quests.

ages 7..to 30. 20+ years of every day battles. years of being a demigod and they all had scars.

percy and annabeth had two kids. piper on her first. nico and will didnt desire nor want babys. leo and connor on their first. travis on his 80th. clarrise and chris had a couple of sets. frank had a new girlfriend who was on her first and hazel was content in her job. reyna and thaila both in the hunters.

everyone talking about their lives to the kids.

11 years and jason was still honored deeply by this tradition. despite nico knowing. 10 years ago jason came home already. and his ten year old self was sitting in his fathers lap. percy smiling as his son traced a scar on percys arm.

then the boy touched percys camp jupiter tattoo. asking about that camp again. asking about the story of jason grace and percy jackson and how they got switched.
