Since Homeless Runaway and Immortal Hunter haven't worked out for me as career choices, I guess I should start thinking about what else I can do. What kind of jobs are open to dyslexic teenagers who don't have a high school diploma but are really good at shooting lightning out of a spear?
[Private to Luke]I'm talking like I'm going to be here for the long term, but we've seen that people are taken away and brought back all the time, and every time it happens they have to start over. And then I started thinking about how much I was still hurting over losing you to Kronos and thinking I hated you for it when I got brought over, and I don't want to go through that again. I don't want to put you through that again either. If it does happen, though, I want some record of what we've gone through that you can point me at, so I can read through it and figure out where to go from there. So here it is:
I love you. I've loved you ever since you almost knocked me over at the dragon's lair. Even when you'd gone over to Kronos and I convinced myself that I hated you, I still loved you. I love you now for managing to find the best parts of yourself again after Kronos tried to stomp it all out. I love you for the tireless way you put yourself into making other people happy. Most of all, I love you because it's you and me against whatever the world throws at us, and nothing, least of all a shiny blue cube, is going to take that away from us again.
