PLAY GOD || pjo au ¹

❝ when we are gods, we act like fools. and when we are fools, we act like gods. sometimes, we do both. never do we do neither. ❞

Estelle Blofis strikes a deal with Time and a son of Hebe to wind back the clock to get to the bottom of her older brother's demise; Percy Jackson thought he was making a difference by choosing the prophecy that would end him. Celeste Grace comes from a long line of ancestors who've died early, agonizing deaths--she holds a grudge against one god responsible for it: the Lord of the Tides and the Protector of Demigods; to him--the Lord of, and a personification of, the tides--godhood serves numbness and ichor choking alongside the guilt and regret not as intensely felt as he should-a hermit of a god is who he will always be. As the timeline twists and warps, runs parallel and converges, mixes and matches the future for the better or the worse, one thing is clear: happy endings are rarely in a demigod's books. And when a god falls, when death is challenged, when love prevails, when time ticks...the impact is all the greater.
