"Sounds like the gods, then," he said with a shrug. The gods were always doing stuff like this, screwing around with their lives. Like when the dragged Percy to New Rome and erased his memory. Or when they erased Jason's memory and plonked him down in Camp Halfblood. Or when his dad put him and Bianca into the Lotus Casino for what seemed like a month but turned out to be seventy years. "They're always screwing with us. Making things difficult. We're just their playthings, after all."
His tone was bitter, not someone who was talking of faith but someone who was talking about something he'd experienced.
"And I don't understand much of that, but if I'm right, then you're saying there's a timeline somewhere...where Bianca didn't die?"
