If Clarisse refuses to listen to reason, I guess there's only one thing I can do. I can only hope it works. I'm not proud of it, but it's the only way. The only person her cabin will listen to... is her.

The armour is too big and her spear feels too heavy, and I'm scared they'll know it's me. I have to try though. The drakon I know Luke plans on sending, only a Child of Ares can defeat it.

I told him that the Ares Cabin isn't with us.

I have to fix my mistakes.

I'll do it. For Charlie.

I know that I won't be able to kill the drakon, but the Ares kids can, and if they listen to me, I'd they believe that I'm her... then maybe we have a chance.

Clarisse would charge the monster head on. I... I have to do the same, despite the fact that I have no chance of defeating it. I don't think there's any way I'm going to get out of this unscathed.

I think that I'm going to die today. It's not the worst thing that could happen, though. I'll get to see Charlie again, my siblings and friends that fell in this terrible war.

I think that I'm okay with dying. Is that a bad thing?

Probably.

But it's also the right thing to do, and after so long being too scared to fight for what I believe, at least in the last moments of my life, I'll be fighting for my family.

I'm sorry, I know it's depressing! But it's the end, so you better deal with it. If it makes you feel better, I cried writing it...
