Epilogue

Space, vast and border-less space, nothing to be seen in the vast open space of, well, space.

It's quite intriguing how the Universe works, or the Fates perhaps. Very intriguing indeed. Apparently, all of my accomplishments are worth nothing in their eyes and judgment. But do I care? No I do not. Although yes, I do feel that sometimes it's quite sad that I never got the opportunity to have my life with Annabeth, how could me being dead and all the people that I love and care about are alive, how could that mean anything but good?

Am I stupid? Well, honestly I prefer being called "Seaweed Brain" but in a term yes. Am I delusional? Well, I did get hit at the head for about the billionth time so you could consider that but all of that doesn't even matter. I am a new man because I grew up, I pushed all the hatred away and now I am as happy and as giddy as an Amity boy.

Will I ever get a chance to go back home? To Annabeth, well, I don't know, I'm not sure if I'll see my family again but I know that I'm always with them because I live in them as they continue to live in me. To the people out there wondering 'What is he doing?! That idiot, didn't he know that she broke his heart?', well, they know the reason and the fact that my heart has only been captured by her and herself only. Only she, Annabeth, has the right to break it, only Annabeth has the right to break my heart a thousand times even.

Besides, it's only hers to actually ever to break.

She stole my heart and I, absolutely, had no intention of stealing it back. Do I regret being like this? Being a martyr, I mean. That's quite easy of a question, you know? No. Even though I won't have the chance to go back to Earth or back to life, I know that I'll continue to live as this passing light, making an appearance right in front of you. I was once a star who refused to shine because of hate and coldness.

That's gone now. I'm ready to shine as bright as the other stars out there. Why? Because I opened my heart to reason. The moment I forgave them and myself, I was free (which was the exact moment I died). Now, I have no regrets of whatsoever. I fought a war and I saved lives. I know to myself that I have accomplished much therefore I lay myself to rest, I let myself achieve the peace I know I deserved right from the beginning.

So, if you see a flash of light across that deep and dark blue sky, know that it's me. That's me right there saying hello to you. So tell everyone this, "Percy says hello." Okay? One day, I'll them myself. I'll tell Bob, Zoe and all of my friends who died and who are alive. I'll tell them what I've been needing to say all these years.

"I'm back and I'm here to stay."

One word, sequel?
