#a hero

This is Chaya. She is 14 years old. She was shot in the leg while shielding two young children during the shooting at Bondi Beach.

rick took the time to mention “his gladius in his hand” (301), and maybe i’m reading too far into it because of course it could just be details. but it was no doubt a heroic death that impacted many, including apollo himself.

trials of apollo takes place at the same time as magnus chase. in the final chapter of the ship of the dead, magnus can sense annabeth is crying. maybe rick was just trying to make us cry over jason once more, but then i can’t help but think about the connection in the tower of nero.

Chiron casually mentioning being acquainted with two other pantheons and “discussing a mutual problem” (328). This makes me at least expect a connecting book/series - especially with rachel living next door to the brooklyn house.

magnus has never met jason. never heard of him, let alone know he’s dead. valhalla has so many different faces and stories, and one of them could be jason’s.
