There is a glorious imbalance in the force and I know that something is both oh so horrible and oh so wonderful.
She remembers me.
And she loves me.
And somehow I know these things.
I scream into the night.
"TELL HER I LOVE HER BACK! SOMEBODY TELL HER MY LAST REQUEST MY LAST REQUEST PLEASE I LOVE HER BACK... I AM DEAD GRANT ME THIS ONE LAST THING!" I scream until I go hoarse. I hope as my tears fall onto the coals and turn into steam. I beg silently
I close my eyes for a moment, when I open them the burning pain is still there, but there's something else.
Something better.
Something gorgeous.
At first I think it's Rachel, but her appearance keeps changing, latching on to the parts of Rachel I love the most, but swapping features in between.
"Venus."
"This is a matter of the heart, not a matter of Greek or Roman, and after all, you are a blue shirt kind of person. I am Aphrodite. Greek goddess of love. And I have recognized a worthy quality in you that of course Mr. Heartless Hades would overlook in dealing out punishment. You have true love." She finished her quick monologue then squealed.
"And oh my goodness Octachel is the cutest I thought I was all gaga for Percabeth but forbidden love, identity crisis and the final admittance of feelings when it seems too late?! This is by far the best romance novel I've ever read!" Then she studied me.
"Okay, I understand the handcuffs, but must he be dressed in rags?" I looked down at myself. My hands were encased in burning handcuffs, and my clothes were what I'd been wearing previously, my blue shirt in rags, torn and scorched. She waved her hand over me and everything fixed itself. Sort of.
Now my hair was proper and my wounds were healed, the cuffs remained but I was in a tuxedo now. There was still the soft blue shirt though, and that comforted me.
"Look, child. Apollo has said you have proven yourself a hero. I understand why you are being punished so and deserve to be, However I also believe... I also believe that this true love that you and Rachel have between each other is beautiful and deserves to be realized. Realized by both of you, together. I cannot allow you live again and be with her, as sad as that makes me, but I can allow you one more moment, one more day to make this love real, before the furies claim you again." It takes my mind a few seconds to realize.
"I can see Rachel again. Those green eyes, once more. Really? Really?"
"My son, my precious baby boy, tries to make love out as this thing to be feared, this thing that can manipulate and destroy, he only sees the vicious side of it. But love can also create and change. And there you are, different, new. You are not the Octavian that killed and murdered. Love changed you. I wish you could have your happily ever after Octavian, but your love can't change everyone. The gods have decreed that you will suffer Tartarus for at least a thousand generations. I am so sorry for that."
"I get to see Rachel again, I get to see her face for real, and no one will disrupt me, for a day? For a day I can tell her I love her? I can kiss her and hold her? And she will know? Yes? Yes?" My disbelief was evident.
"Yes, Octavian. Yes. This is going to be so cute to watch... I wish you could have a happy ending..."
"I will. Just as long as I can spend even one more second with that girl I will be eternally happy, no matter what punishment they put me through."
"That is the kind of love I wish my son understood, I doubt he ever will, but I am glad that you can. Are you ready to see your love?"
"I can already see her."
"Good luck Romeo. This is going to come as quite a shock to Miss Dare." There was, I imagine, a goofy grin on my face, and I vanished.

Hello, boys and girls!
Today's update has a bittersweet taste to me. I'll just jump to the important bits cause there are no news regarding my personal life and such, so the news about the stories it is!
Today, with both a heavy and ecstatic heart, I announce the ENDING (I wrote it in caps so there are no misunderstandings between us, but I'll say it again, ENDING) of THREE (again, THREE) of my stories. It is sad for me, but don't worry. I won't quit writing. Here's why:
1) I still have Sis/Bro! Your Shadow is Hot! and Quest: Matchmade to post and finish.
2) I have embarked myself in two collaborations (none of them will appear in my profile, sorry), so I'll be busy for a while.
3) If you keep looking down, I left you a link to my newest poll! So, please vote there (vote will only count from there or my poll in FanFiction, so please no comments about it)
