The morning two days after Eric told his story, life at camp was getting a little out of control. Nothing happened for those two days. Well, that pertained to the war, that was going on.

Except, after the last two battles, Jason with the rest of the seven talked. Annabeth found it strange that no one got hurt, not even a little. For two whole attacks, not one injury. None of them could find an explanation, so they put it in the back of their minds. Everyone knew nothing of who they were up against, except Perseus, who only had an idea.

That morning, Jason found himself in the dining pavilion while Alyssa and Dakota were in the middle of a fight.

"-HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!" Alyssa shouted, looking hurt and offended.

Dakota scuffed. "She told you. And, I, for one, believe her." She stated calmly.

Alyssa had a betrayed look on her face. She sniffed and stood strait with her chin held high. "Of course. Of course. My best friend lost someone close to them, and she blamed me. Her mental state turned dark. A few weeks later, she disappeared. Then, I became friends with her replacement, around that time. And, both left me." She said, she turned to leave, but Gracie came out of the woods.

"Alyssa?" she asked, concerned.

Jason, along with what he thinks is many others, felt as if he was witnessing a private moment. Alyssa and Dakota started fighting out in the open in the dining pavilion. And, Jason suspects the fight just happened in the moment.

Alyssa sniffed, again. "Yes, Gracie?" She asked, still holding back tears.

Gracie moved forward and pulled Alyssa into a hug, where she collapsed and started crying.

Dakota stepped back in, as Jason can see as, shock.

To Jason, Alyssa seemed like someone who was always strong and didn't care what others think. Seeing her crying from her past friendships, Jason knew that she became stronger due to her past. 'Like Reyna...' Jason thought.

As Alyssa's tears dried up, Jason's sister, Thalia stood up from Artemis' table. "Who's your godly parent, Gracie?" She asked.

Gracie smiled, and pulled off her hood, revealing black hair and blue eyes. "Zeus."
