Green mist and teddybears

What the future awaits

.
Rachel rested her head on Octavian's shoulder. Octavian smiled and stroked her hair softly.

They sat against a tree having a picnic, they needed some rest from the adventure they had just had. A lot of emotions, re-encounters, not enough kissing and horrifying prophetic paintings tire you.
Plus, dying was not fun.

But finally, there was peace.

Octavian looked at Rachel, wondering why he was so lucky to have a girl like her. Rachel looked back at him, smiling. "What?" Octavian smiled. "Nothing, I was just thinking how lucky I am."

Rachel sat up and turned around to look at him. "Lucky about what?"

"You know what."

She sat up and turned to fully face him. "I'm lucky for having you, you taught me a lot of stuff, especially something very big."

Octavian looked at her "What?"

She smiled "You taught me that people can change."

He leaned back on the tree "I guess you are right, I did change, but so did you."

Rachel turned her head to the side, confused. "In what way did I change?"

Octavian smiled. "Well for one thing, you were the hero of a prophecy, not only the giver, and for another thing-"

He leaned in and kissed her. "You were willing to help me change and to let me take my time to do so and for that I am so grateful."

Rachel laughed "You actually thanked someone."
Octavian stuck his tounge at her and then laughed. She stood up and pulled him up, intertwining their hands.
"We went through a lot of challenges, but we wnt through them together and we survived."

"Mostly," Octavian added "You did die for a while"
Rachel rolled her eyes "Well yes, that's true, but the point is that we manage to survive a battle and we managed to survive it together. I have learned and felt a lot from you, Octavian. You taught me that there is mkre to someone that what meets the eyes and I am so grateful and happy about that. I wouldn't want to live in a world withough the greek gods and Camp-Half-Blood, and I wouldn't want to leave in a world without you."

She leaned in and kissed him.

Octavian smiled into the kiss, thinking of how their life was going to be like now that there was peace.

He knew that peace may not necessarily last, so he knew to enioy the moments he had with Rachel.

He just had to enjoy this while the future awaits.
