WORLDS BEYOND ( pjo )

ooo. the ending

hey everybody! i hope you're all well, especially those of you who've had this book in your library since the very beginning. i'm very sorry to disappoint, but this isn't an update to notify everybody about the story's update.

i won't be continuing this fic. i loved writing it and i definitely didn't think this was going to end up as one of those unfinished stories that i wished would never end. percy jackson still holds a really big part of my heart, but it's come to a feeling of nostalgia rather than the excitement of having read it for the first time. when i first wrote this fic, i was a sophomore in high school, and now, i'll be starting university in the fall.

it's so nice to see that people still read and liked this little book. i'm glad because i liked it too. i wouldn't say i've grown out of it, but i think my interests have just evolved a bit. i love to see people still interacting with this fic, and i wont be taking it down because i know people still like coming back to old fics for that punch of nostalgia we all need sometimes.

i know how much i hate not knowing the end of everything, though, so here's all my notes on what i had planned for the story and stuff. some of it is also kinda cringe so please excuse that too, lol. i have not changed anything about the notes from how they were two years ago. sorry for the mess and how disorganised it is, but i figure someone out there might wanna read them and imagine it all up for themself. for you, i hope you enjoy this.

so like. ethan idea
— he thinks he's gonna die in boo or hoh for some reason
— and he says to kia 'if i don't make it—'
— she has a hard look on her face. 'you will. i wont let you die, ethan.'
— he looks like he wants to say more but doesn't
— he thinks about that moment after kia does the Thing

'there's things i want to say, but i'll just let you live.'

'mr. brain, i presume?' 'please, call me seaweed.'

in moa, she has a vision. she won't tell anyone what it is or what happened. she's just completely stubborn about it and won't tell anyone—not even ethan. in boo, it's revealed in a flashback what she saw. it was ethan sitting by a grave, and annabeth coming up and standing beside him. he starts to cry, and annabeth tries not to, to stay strong in front of ethan, but she ends up crying too. she falls down and wraps her arms around ethan, whispering raggedly, 'it's okay, it's okay.' but it's not. he's full on weeping in her arms, coming completely undone against her shoulder. kia gets a closer look at the grave. it's her own. it's that moment that she knows. she knows that she's going to sacrifice herself—and fulfil the prophecy—'Be deceived by the one you call friend, Eternal sacrifice the means to an end.'

the word you're looking for: boisterous

lmao isn't it funny that hua mitsuho was all 'roots have meaning' while naming her daughter but retained about zero percent of her daughter's greek heritage

i feel like kia would suck at using a gun but like she tries to use one in the middle of battle. when she runs out of bullets she just shrugs to herself and hits the monster with the back of the gun

- 'Frank, you are not weak. More power runs through your veins than thousands of others out there, and more power runs through your heritage than you can imagine. You can dislike Mars all you want, but do not forget that his power is your power, and the best way to make the most out of it is to accept it.' — Kia

- Kia had died, and along with it, a piece of Ethan—the piece of Ethan that became wholly Kia, to love her and cherish and never to be parted from her, the part of him that the love for Kia was a driving force of life, the part of him that had become Kia herself. It was dead.
