You. Who's been studying blastia since you were a kid. [ okay like that's fair, they didn't know, but come on. ] What is with people going around and stealing your stuff?
[ but there's an approving nod. ]
Hopefully "what was coming to him" means you absolutely kicked his ass.
Then that's what matters. [ i was gonna give you a matching tone one because sometimes your mentors really do just manipulate the shit out of you, but the story's disjointed so instead, panels appear. ]
rita's never known that kind of grief, that kind of loss. and she really doesn't know any of the right words to say to someone who has. so it takes a while before she says anything. ]
For a while, I was living in the forest outside of camp. And then the Underworld for a while...that's where Minos found me and started teaching me how to use my powers. He said that if I learned how to control them and could trade a soul for a soul, I could bring Bianca back. So he taught me a lot of what I know now.
You're not supposed to, really. [ which doesn't quite answer her question. ] And in the end I didn't. I released Daedalus's soul and sent him to the Underworld, and I banished Minos to go back to my father's court.
Yeah, you could say that. [ it's not even a brag, it's just "yeah i guess that would be a correct assumption." ] Children of the Big Three tend to be more powerful than others, but...I'm still learning everything else I can actually do. Sort of feels like I find new ways to use my powers all the time.
I've seen them come up in texts I've read from ancient civilizations... It seems too specific to be a coincidence, but I don't know what else it would be.
Oh. No, those are the same gods. They've just been moving with Western civilization for years. They're real and they're very much present where Will and I are from. Everything you've read about them is probably true, too.
Most mortals have no idea what they're dealing with or that the gods are even real. They try to explain everything away with logic and science most of the time. [ shrug. ] I almost wish it were that easy.
