"I still can't believe you're a goddess" Beckendorf said as he ate his chicken "And daughter of Titans on top"

Thea laughed and shook her head.

They were in her temple having lunch, she went to his house and teleported him there to enjoy a meal together.

"I would tell you that I'm getting used to it very fast, but I didn't even experience the full life of a goddess yet so, I can't" she said with a grimace and raised her hands in the air "But today, we continue to talk about any of that. Tell me how are your college applications going"

"Good. It's still a little early to send them, but I already chose the colleges I will apply to" he nodded and a smile appeared in his face "MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley-"

"Berkeley?! Isn't that in San Francisco? That's a little far from Camp Half-Blood, don't you think?" She asked concerned "What if there's an emergency and you need to escape from monsters and go to camp? It's all across the country!"

"Liz, not a lot of monsters come after me, I'll be fine" he comforted her and gave her a reassuring smile "Plus, if I have any problem, I know a goddess that'll come to my rescue"

"Ha-ha, very funny" she looked at him annoyed "You know that my brother doesn't allow any of us to interfere with the demigods. He will never let me help you"

"But you're with me now" he argued.

"Only because I'm not a full goddess yet" she rolled her eyes and sighed tiredly "Once I get my powers, I don't think he'll let me spend a lot of time with you, any of you"

"I'm sure you'll find a way to be with us" he snorted and kept eating "By the way, I'm going to camp tomorrow"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I made plans to meet with Jake. His sister's birthday is coming and he wants my help with her present"

"Aw, so sweet"

"Yeah" he agreed and drank some water.

Thea closed her eyes and took a deep breath when a scent of cookies reached her nose.

Hey Liz, guess what, I passed a math test with a C+. I hope you're doing good. Bye, love you aunt

Thea laughed and smiled proudly.

"What?" Beckendorf asked confused.

"Every day, when Percy makes an offer to me, he uses it as a way to deliver a little update of his life" she laughed and rolled her eyes "It's cute"

"And a good idea, I'm gonna start doing that as well" Beckendorf smiled and crossed his arms over his green hoodie "If your brother doesn't let you spend time with me, then at least you'll know what's going on in my life"

A smell of apple crumble reached her nose and a smooth female voice sounded in her mind.

Love you

Thea smiled at Annabeth's offer.

"Hey, I just remembered!" Beckendorf brought her attention and she looked at his brown eyes "Didn't you have something to tell me?"

She looked confused for a second, trying to remember what she wanted to tell him.

"Right!" She suddenly remembered. She leaned over the table and crossed her arms over it "I need your help with Vaoç"

"With Vaoç? In what?"

"I have a Project in mind for Vaoç. Come with me"

They left the living room and went to her room. There, Thea had a desk where she kept maps and a notebook with her ideas. She opened the notebook and showed him the first pages of it.
