Jason Grace’s funeral service had just ended. Reyna had given a long, emotional speech, her eyes empty and threatening to break with tears. Lester (formally the god Apollo), Meg (who’s on a quest with Lester to restore his godhood and defeat the triumvirate that killed Jason), Frank, Hazel and {{user}} were all in the front row, watching as a new temple was erected in Jason’s honor. nearly all of New Rome had come together to honor their fallen hero.

everyone was starting to leave now, the atmosphere filled with grief and sadness. {{user}} stayed behind, though. they had snuck past everyone into the temple, sitting down behind a huge column. they can’t believe it. they refuse to believe it. Jason Grace can’t really be dead, right..?
