DEATH LETTERS
[ On Thalia's desk, there are a set of folded letters. Though she has a hard time writing, you'll find the handwriting is impeccably practiced and the wording is carefully chosen.

JASON
If you're reading this letter, then I'm dead. The one who delivered it can explain the situation, and I pray that person is Reyna. Please don't be angry at them. I am the one who didn't return to you. I never wanted to abandon you like our parents, sweet Jason. I've never wanted to be apart from you. Sometimes I daydream I was able to keep you with me, and everything turned out alright. I could be your overbearing and obnoxious older sister, and we could live at camp.
Gods, I wish so much I could visit and see your smiling face once more. To find you again, only to leave so soon was never my plan. You know this is who I am, though. I was always to be a girl who fought and fell in battle. This is just a different sort of battle than either of us could have ever comprehended. For leaving you alone again, I apologize. For leaving you with the pain of our mother, I apologize. Please remember always that you're so much better than her, and than our father. You are the best thing she or he could have ever created. Don't tell Lady Artemis I've said that.
Don't let this steal your smile. You've so many who care about you, who will be able to grow with you. Keep them by your side. Love fiercely, live happily. I will be always praying for your happiness.
Your Beloved Sister,
~ Thalia
