Dear Bia,

It has been seven months since the world fell to fire, and seven years since you passed. Ever since then, I've been hurting. Transporting the Parthenon statue took a lot out of me, and I was out for two months after the war ended. Recovery's been a...painful process. I've had a fever since waking up because of how much godly food they've been giving me. But Will has an idea. The food of the gods above ground might not work as well as the food from below.

So today, we're going to head to Los Angeles and take a trip to Hadestown. Wish me luck, cause I'll be taking a drink from the river of fire soon.

This. Day. Has. Sucked.

It turns out, even for the current heir to the Underworld, the fire water still hurts. A. LOT. We were down under by the time noon hit the East Coast. A short while later, Will, Percy and I sat down at the edge of a trench filled to the brim with teal fire.

"Now, this is going to be painful beyond belief, but you will be perfectly safe. But you're sure you haven't done this before?" Percy asked.

"I'm sure. I was taken before I had any reason to."

"Well. Percy and I are here to make sure you're fine. Are you ready?" Will had questioned.

In response, I scooped up a palmful of the fire and chucked it down my throat, and at first, it didn't hurt. Then, starting at my toes, a fire began to burn me. It rose up through me, and I swayed for a moment before falling backwards, muscles locking up.

I fell backwards, feeling Percy catch me. He placed me on Will's lap, before coating me in some chilled water. Through the haze of pain, I could hear Will humming something about angels and shotguns.

When I woke up, I was perfectly fine. My powers were back, everything felt fine, and I felt... Happy.

Dear Bia,

As I told you, earlier this year, Will asked me to be his boyfriend. So technically, this was our first Valentine's Day together. I planned a vacation to Italy, and we spent the week traveling to all of our favorite spots. I made sure that we packed a picnic for today and hiked to our 'spot'.

It was just as beautiful as ever. We entered the cave and found ourselves in the grotto, with the waterfall cascading down a wall and the clear water covering the floor.

Stripping off most of our clothes, leaving us with only our swimming trunks on, I pulled Will into the water. He sputtered, but I dragged him to the waterfall falling from the ceiling like a curtain. We kissed, and the room seemed to glimmer in happiness as the light shifted.

I showed Will everything. The shell collection, still decorating the walls like paintings, the swing we had set up so long ago, as well as the crannies we used to hide in.

I took him and dove underwater, taking Will through the tunnels with me until we surfaced on the island, a picnic waiting for us on top of the grass.

We spent the rest of the day talking about the past. I talked about my memories of you and mom, and of our life back then.

I really miss you Bia. But, I hope that wherever you are, you are happy.
