    Summary

    Side characters, if you really think about it, lived very easy lives.

    It's easy when the spotlight's not on them. They got to show up, brush with the main character for a brief moment, then fade away peacefully into the background. Side characters didn't have development, or goals, or aspirations. They weren't burdened with pesky things like thoughts or dreams, but went on as the faceless silhouettes that were drawn en-masse, the crowds meant to be defeated by the hero. 

    That's the nice, comfortable lie she tells herself, anyway, the rule of nature she can't break. That, no matter how hard a side character may try, they were ultimately doomed to fail. They would play their part, act their role, then bow out to let the protagonist shine. 

    ---

    In which a side-character wonders how she could ever stand up to a protagonist.

    Summary

    Summary

    ~~ He was caught in a nightmare from a scene that happened only a few years ago. His eyes settled on the young Bianca di Angelo, clutching onto her brother tightly as they lay on the snow, unknowing of what was destined to happen.

    His heart broke.

    "No." He groaned, pushing him up weakly. His arms gave out on him, and he collapsed back on the frozen ground. He reached a shaky arm out toward he beast he recognized as the Manticore, core warmed with hatred and vengeance of the monster who brought Nico and his sister so violently into their world. He didn't deserve to live. "No." ~~

    OR: TOA mid book 5 will, nico, rachel, apollo & meg time travel back to PJO beginning of book 3 and change the timeline as we know it 😎

    Summary

    “When will you feel that you can join us?” They asked. He didn’t answer, because he did not know the answer to give them. “When you forgive yourself?” StarClan prompted.

    “Yes…” Blackstar muttered, because that was the correct answer. And he would never forgive himself.

    “Then live.”
    -------------
    At the end of his life and the beginning of what he perceived as eternal torment, Blackstar finds himself faced by StarClan. Their wanton love sends him back to the old forest, and he resolves to himself that he will make things right.
