May Castellan

(So I'm thinking that the curse of Hades would have been lifted when Rachel took the burden of the oracle so wouldn't May been stable and such? Sorry that it's short but I'm tired and this is all I can write right now.)

"Luke?" May looks around her house. Suddenly everything rushes back. What she had done, the pain she put her son through. The oracle had possessed her and torn her apart. Guilt was the first emotion she felt after remembering this. Hermes had warned her what would have happened if she took the curse and she ignored that. Putting Luke through all that.

"Hermes? Hermes!" She yelled. She had to talk to him. Ask him what had happened to her son. Nothing, of course he wouldn't see her. Her next best option was to go to Camp Half-Blood, that's where Luke would be, that's where she would find him.

How had the curse even been broken? What had happened?

Looking around the house again and outside she frowned. There was burnt chocolate chip cookies and moldy sandwiches filling the kitchen and dining room. Then stuffed animals or Greek monsters outside. She ignored that though had grabbed her car keys and started driving. It didn't matter how she got there, all she had to do was get to camp.

Running through camp to the Big House she was filled with anxiety.

"Chiron!" She called out as she rushed inside. The centaur wheeled himself into the room and froze when he saw her.

"May Castellan? How are you here?"

"I'm wondering that to but that's not important now. Where's Luke?"

"May, I'm sorry to tell you this but two years ago Luke died."

She didn't say anything, to shocked by the news. Her son was dead, she was never able to apologize or see him. Her last true memory of him was when he was five.

"How did he die?"
