REBECCA rushed to Jason's limp body.

"Jason!" She shook his body. "Wake up right now, I swear to the gods Jason-."

His body was fizzling, his eyes stared blankly at her, she couldn't even tell if he was breathing.

Piper, Leo and Hera stared in shock at Jason's body, (and Rebecca showing some sort of emotion- specially for Jason Grace).

Rebecca couldn't believe it, Jason couldn't be dead, not after everything they had gone through.

She softly touched his face, to see if that woke him up, she remembered he had tickles under his jaw. He didn't wake up.

"It's no use, child." Hera stood over them in her simple black robes and shawl.

Rebecca hadn't seen the goddess go nuclear.

Thankfully she'd closed her eyes, but she could see the aftereffects. Every vestige of winter was gone from the valley.

No signs of battle, either. The monsters had been vaporized.

The ruins had been restored to what they were before-still ruins, but with no evidence that they'd been overrun by a horde of wolves, storm spirits, and six-armed ogres.

Even the Hunters had been revived. Most waited at a respectful distance in the meadow, but Thalia knelt by Rebecca's side, her hand on Jason's forehead.

Thalia glared up at the goddess. "This is your fault. Do something!"

"Do not address me that way, girl. I am the queen-"

"Fix him!" Rebecca snapped. "You have done nothing but to ruin! You fix him." She gritted the last word.

Hera's eyes flickered with power. "I did warn him. I would never intentionally hurt the boy. He was to be my champion. I told them to close their eyes before I revealed my true form."

"Um..." Leo frowned. "True form is bad, right? So why did you do it?"

"I unleashed my power to help you, fool!" Hera cried. "I became pure energy so I could disintegrate the monsters, restore this place, and even save these miserable Hunters from the ice."

"But mortals can't look upon you in that form!" Thalia shouted.

Leo shook his head in dismay. "That's what our prophecy meant.
Death unleash, through Hera's rage. Come on, lady. You're a goddess.
Do some voodoo magic on him! Bring him back."

"Please do something!" Pleaded Piper.

Rebecca half heard their conversation, but mostly she was focused on Jason's face. "He's breathing!" she announced.

"Impossible," Hera said. "I wish it were true, child, but no mortal has ever-"

"Jason," Rebecca called, and for once she had emotion in her voice. "Listen to me. You can do this. Come back. Come back and shout at me but please come back.

Nothing happened. Had she imagined his breath stirring?

"Healing is not a power you may have" Hera said regretfully. "Even I cannot fix this, girl. His mortal spirit—"

"Jason," Rebecca said again, and she imagined her voice resonating through the earth, all the way down to the Underworld. "Wake up please."

He gasped, and his eyes flew open. For a moment they were full of light-glowing pure gold. Then the light faded and his eyes were normal again. "What—what happened?"
