What makes the tragedy of Jason's death so goddamn well written is that it is that there were three loopholes to his death prophecy, but for each of these loopholes to work requires people to be out of character.

The Syble tells Jason that if Jason and Piper went to find the emperor one of them would d__.

The first and most obvious way for Jason not to die is to simply not help Apollo and not go after the emperor. Unfortunately Jason is heroic. Even worse he never shirks his duties. He won't be able to overlook Caligula's crimes and turn away. It's not in his nature.

This book somehow, despite Piper and Jason breaking up, sold me on their relationship. Those two are ride or die for each other even if things are rocky right now. They aren't going to run and leave the other to face the emperor alone. Their friend might die anyway. Also Piper also gave me the impression that she believed they wouldn't actually die just like with Leo's death prophecy and the general lack of permeant death in Heroes of Olympus.

Now the third way Jason could have survived. Turning into a dog. You might be laughing but I am dead serious. Apollo, god of prophecy, brought up this possibility and while he might be grasping at straws this could easily work. Turning into a dog would allow Jason to dodge Caligula's blow, and in the confusion he has a chance to escape. This happening is entirely feasible in the pjo universe. It is extraordinary common for gods in myths to turn people into animals. It is confirmed that the gods are watching. It could happen.

Unfortunately, no god is going to interfere. Hera is on thin ice after the stunts she pulled in Hero's of Olympus, Zeus was throwing lighting bolt at her and not the giants he was so angry at her. I got the impression that it could easily be her thrown to earth not Apollo. Hera can't interfere without risking it all.

The minor gods won't disobey Zeus either even if it means losing a priest.

Zeus on the other hand can interfere he just won't. It would be a politically sound decision to save his son. Jason is the former leader of New Rome and current priest for minor gods. By saving Jason Zeus would regain the support from both demigods and minor gods that he is clearly lacking. The Olympian council would support this, this might help Apollo's quest so Artemis is on board, Hera's support goes without saying, Aphrodite daughter is also on the line here, and I can't think of a god that would oppose this. This isn't beyond Zeus's capabilities. He turned Thalia into a tree in similar circumstances. Blatant favoritism. There is a possibility that he just didn't think about it, but I really doubt it. Not only did Apollo bring up this as a loophole Athena is Zeus's advisor she would tell him it's at least a possibility. Zeus has a lot of flaws being an idiot isn't one of them. If he really wanted to save Jason he could have.

So why wouldn't he? Jason disobeyed Zeus standing up for Apollo when he was punished. Zeus really hates being disobeyed especially when it is a son doing it. He gets very paranoid about it in fact. Jupiter gave Jason to Hera/Juno and their only conversation is Jason questioning his father's decision in the coliseum. They do not have a close relationship. They have the least bonding moments of any godly parent beating even Luke and Hermes. Zeus doesn't care about Jason that much. It's not worth justifying the interference especially when his son is rebellious. His paranoia tends to make Zeus shoot himself in the foot.

Besides it's not like Zeus mourned his son's death or lost anything with his inaction. Hera mourned Jason, not Zeus.

The other thing that made Jason's death iconic is how it's effects are handled but that's another post.

#Did I write this because people keep blaming Apollo for Jason's death when Apollo nearly killed himself trying to stop it? Maybe #The other reason is people not reading Trials of Apollo because Jason died. Come on it's the best written part of the book #pjo #toa #trials of apollo #Apollo pjo #piper mclean #hoo #lester papadopoulos #jason grace #heroes of olympus #zeus pjo #hera pjo

no idea what the specific trigger was but I really do love how things like dracula daily and goncharov have in the past few months really encouraged this website to come back to its roots as a proper art and writing blogging website to the point that now after the 1-2 days of complaining about the new velma theres droves of people now just making art and writing out of love for scooby doo no more cynicism no more hatred we all know corporations and capitalism are withering the planet and it's people but we will use our gifts of art and communication to create and share with others peace and love and commuity on planet earth

#dracula daily encouraged people on here to read more classics and goncharov was a social experiment psyop that proved people love to create #and now all the criticism of velma has died out nearly overnight and people are making fannarts and aus for their own scooby doo concepts #genuinely? i feel like we're entering a golden age resurgence of artists whove all come back

Being on the back of that creature was weird. They'd only been there for about a week, yet Keith had seen his mother's memories. He'd seen the moment his parents had named him, and both of them fawning over him as a baby. It was... oddly sweet to see it, how his mother loved him.

In turn, Krolia saw his memories. Both of the times he'd lost Shiro, how he meet Shiro (Krolia was laughing for a good few minutes at how Keith had stolen Shiro's car) and some of the memories he had of Adam and, perhaps most embarrassingly, Keith ranting about Lance to Adam and Shiro.

So it was fair to say that they were on even footing, really.

And the more time they spent there, the more they saw each other's memories and the more they learnt about each other.

And then there was his wolf. He was stuck on a name for his wolf, so he just called it Wolf for ease.

"What do you think is on the other side?" Keith asked. Krolia hummed in thought.

"I'm not sure, but I hope that we can figure out what the source of the energy is," she replied. Keith sighed.

"What about the source? Any ideas as to what it is?"

"No," came the reply. He groaned and laid back on the ground. Wolf came up and sniffed his face.

Keith was thrown into the future, if the appearance of a hospital room in the Garrison of all places was any indication. Looking to his side, he saw Krolia there, too.

"The girl's cutting off the supply," a voice said. Keith looked behind him and gasped.

There was an incubator of sorts in the room, made of black, white and blue Altean technology. Standing to the side, was him and Lance. Lance, who he knew he liked. Lance who, in this vision of the future, was tucked into future Keith's side, a golden ring standing out against his skin.

"She'll be okay," future him said.

"What is she's not though? Allura said that the incubator won't prevent any illnesses or anything like that from forming in them. They could be born with a heart condition!"

"It's not likely, love." Lance huffed, watching as Colleen Holt and a few other scientists worked together to reach in and pull something out of the incubator.

A baby, covered in slime. A baby girl. As soon as she was able to breathe, she started to wail. Colleen took her and cleaned her off, weighing her and then wrapped her up.

Colleen walked over to them, the child that Keith guessed was his and Lance's daughter, cradled in her arms.

It was Lance who reached out for their daughter. He started to coo to her, calming her down enough. Her cries turned to whimpers in his arms.

"What's her name?" Colleen asked. Future Keith said something, but current him couldn't hear it. Colleen smiled.

"That's a beautiful name for her. Powerful, too."

Keith didn't know how long he stood there for, watching his future self and Lance hold their baby. Then-

"The boy's cutting his supply off now," a doctor said. The same process, then a baby boy was lifted from the incubator. He cried too, but not like his sister, his twin, did. Colleen did the same thing, and it was future Keith who took the boy into his arms.

Current Keith watched as the doctors did tests on the babies, then laid them side by side in a crib.

Krolia's future self chose that moment to enter the room. The doctors and Colleen smiled at her, then left. Krolia just nodded at them before going up and hugging Keith's own future self, as well as Lance. The three of them, as one, turned around to look at the babies.

"They're beautiful," Krolia's future self said.

"They are," Lance agreed.

"What are their names?" Future Keith told her, but the names weren't heard. Krolia smiled.

"Those are wonderful names for them. I have no doubt that they will be strong in the future."

The vision faded, leaving Keith standing there, in shock.

"Keith?" Krolia asked. He looked at her.

"I'm going to be a father," he said. "I'm going to have twins in the future."

"Is that a bad thing?" Krolia asked. Keith shook his head.

"No, it's not. It's... it's wonderful. It's amazing. I- I can't wait to meet them," he said. He could feel the disbelieving smile on his face. Krolia pulled him into a hug. He returned it, laughing. "I'm going to have children with Lance!"

"I'm happy for you, Keith," Krolia told him. Keith buried his face in her shoulder.

"Thank you, Mom," he whispered. It felt natural, and so right. Krolia tensed up, but ended up hugging him tighter.

________

He had more visions of the future on that whale. He saw a glimpse of a boy standing in Black Paladin armor, a girl in Red Paladin armor. Then there was an image of him holding out two knives, identical except for the black wrapping on the grip on one and the red wrapping on the grip of the other.

Mostly it was memories coming to him, though. One of them was of when he was younger, and had asked Shiro and Adam if they ever wanted kids.

"I'd like to adopt," Shiro confessed.

"I don't mind what we do. I think that I just want to be a parent to a child before I die," Adam replied. Keith was curled up into Adam's side, sketchbook open and the beginnings of a drawing of his family on the page.

"Besides, we have you right now, and that's all that we really need," Shiro said.

That particular memory ended with Keith crying as Shiro and Adam held him.

"I need to thank them for all they've done for you when I meet them," Krolia said.

"You don't have to," Keith said.

"No, I do. They took care of you for some time. They gave you a family. I must thank them for helping you, for caring for you when I was unable to," Krolia insisted. Keith nodded, a lump in his throat making it impossible for him to say anything else.

The next time they saw a vision of the future, they were eating some meat that they had hunted with the help of Wolf.

Keith found himself in a market place filled with people who came in all sorts of colours, but dark, and wearing pale robes in comparison. They all wore jewellery made of crystals. Keith noticed that the most simple crystals the older people wore were glowing faintly.

They were following a girl, who had black hair that was tied up in a ponytail. It fell down in gentle curls. Her skin was only slightly lighter than what Lance's skin was, and Keith realised that she was wearing his red jacket. A belt around her waist revealed a knife with a red grip.

She carried a bag on her back, and she walked with a purpose. She was looking for something, but Keith didn't know what it was. She seemed interested in the people around her, listening to people shouting about food and clothes and other merchandise, trying to sell their goods.

"Come and get Soul Crystals here! Perfect gift for married couples and parents!" One of the vendors shouted. The girl stopped, seemed to think of something, then walked to the vendor selling the 'Soul Crystals'.

The booth was covered in those simple crystal necklaces that Keith had seen. None of these ones glowed, though they came in all different kinds of colours. Pink, purple, blue, green, red and many others. The vendor grinned when they saw the girl.

"Well, hello there, traveler! May I interest you in a Soul Crystal for your significant other? Or perhaps as a gift for your parents?"

"What do they do?" The girl asked.

"Well, these are an ancient tradition among our people. They are linked to two people's Quintessence. It allows for couples to feel each other's emotions, as well as acts as a compass of sorts for them, so that they always know where each other are, and how they are feeling."

"Is that why they glow?" The girl asked. The vendor nodded.

"Precisely," they said.

"How much would it be to get a couple for my parents?"

"Fifty VIC," the vendor replied.

"Here," the girl said. She pulled out a wallet and pulled out a note, which Keith noticed upon further inspection was a 100 VIC note. He wondered what VIC stood for.

The vendor took the money.

"Now, just close your eyes, and search for the crystals that match your parents. It's easier for those who have Quintessence sensitivity." The girl closed her eyes. She opened them again.

"Those two, that blue one with white swirls and that red one that has gold in it, those match perfectly," the girl said, pointing at the crystals on basic black strings. Keith's breath hitched.

The blue one she mentioned looked like the ocean, and the red one looked faintly like fire. He turned to get a better look at her, and saw that her eyes were purple, like his own. There were flecks of brown in them.

The vendor packaged the crystals and tied the boxes closed with ribbons.

"I wish your parents a wonderful and fulfilling life, Young One."

The vision ended there. He turned to face Krolia.

"That girl," he said. He couldn't continue the sentence.

That girl was his daughter, the one he saw being born in another vision.

"She's beautiful," Krolia said, apparently either having read his mind, or having come to the same conclusion as Keith.

"She is," he said, a smile on his face.

He knew that his future would be wonderful. He decided, then and there, that he would win this war and survive, so that he could see these visions come to fruition.
