Excerpts from the journal of Remus Stone:
January 15, 2013
So I embarrassed myself today. Just another reason I should never get involved in social activities or anything of the sort. I talked with Felicity Weingarten today for the first time, unofficially at least. There was the time last summer, but that was something else entirely. I’d never just talked with her, you know? It was an interesting meeting though. She was talking with Remus. Like the legitimate, ancient Roman Remus. Romulus’ twin. So I guess I have the old guy to thank for our friendship starting at all. And it was fascinating to talk to Remus as well. Though I agree with Felicity, it’s still confusing.
February 12, 2013
I’m really not sure what to do. I got a letter today. Delivered by Cupid, from Felicity. She has a crush on me. I don’t know what to do. I mean, I do like her, but I never imagined she would like me that way, you know what I mean? It’s kind of… startling. I’m still trying to sort out how I feel about her in return. She’s a great girl and all, I just haven’t really thought about that before.
February 14, 2013
I think I’m going to puke or something. Which might be a good excuse to stay in the principia. Cupid just had to pair me with Felicity Weingarten for the dance.
Now I have nothing against her of course. It’s just that the more I think about what she wrote, the more I wonder how I really do feel about her. I just don’t know. Girls are confusing. But Cupid is my half-brother if you think about it, so he wouldn’t do anything bad to me, right? I hope not. Maybe he knows something I don’t here. I guess time to just trust him. But to be honest, I’ve never been this nervous in my life. Well, maybe when I first faced Lupa, but, come on, who isn’t nervous to face Lupa? Anyway, I have to get ready to go pick her up for this dance. I’ll probably write more after.
*****
Well, I didn’t ruin it. I almost did. Or at least, I would have sworn I did about a hundred times over. It was actually fun, believe it or not. Don’t tell anyone, but I hope we do something like this again. And I’ll definitely invite Felicity. Might even try wearing a tie this time.
May 10, 2013
I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. Things have been very busy indeed. But not always in a bad sense. Felicity and I have been dating for a few months now (I lost track. Since Valentine’s Day maybe? Does that even count?) Well, if it does, that would be convenient to remember. And I heard girls are big on that remembering important dates thing. So I guess I better watch myself. Anyway, like I was talking about before. I’ve never been so happy. I mean, there’s rumors of war and everything, trouble stirring and whatnot, I just need to find Felicity and I feel better. No matter what. She’s my rock. And I love her with my life.
June 12, 2013
She’s been chosen by the gods to go on a dangerous quest. I hate to part with her, but I have to. I just pray she does alright. She’s been acting different lately too. Colder, more distant. I don’t know what to think. I want to help her, but I don’t know how. It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever known, being so helpless. I should be there for her, support her. But even when she’s at camp, I can’t. Now she’s going halfway across the world. Not alone, albeit, but not with me either. I hope she comes home soon. I’m going to really miss her.
December 20, 2013
I don’t know what to do. This is officially the worst day of my life. Earlier in the day, Felicity came home from the quest. Which is supposed to be happy, right? Well, it wasn’t. She dumped me. Then she disappeared somewhere no one knew for hours. I know; I looked everywhere for her. Wanted to plead my case, to get her back, but she was nowhere. And then she shows up at the infirmary with no memory of who she is or anything. No memory of me. Though on the same note, no memory of Saturn either.
January 6, 2014
She’s been dishonorably discharged. I suppose it’s for the best. Her memory is slowly improving, which is good. I suppose it’s best to thank the gods for the little things at this point. I’m going to miss going to see her in the infirmary though, but I know she wasn’t happy there. Wasn’t content with letting people help her. Even had Hunter steal her records for her; caught her red-handed. I wish my help would be good enough for her. I’m really trying. But at least now she has a place of her own, paid for by the camp until she can get a job. Not a bad offer really. At least she wasn’t kicked out.
January 25, 2014
She wants to leave. Heck, she even offered me up as bait. I don’t know what to do. I still love her of course, but… why? Why is she doing this, I mean. Everything was going fine before Simons disappeared. Now she doesn’t care about anything, even me. It’s like I’m nothing to her anymore. I don’t think I can handle it. First she stole from the Principia under my nose while I was trying to help her, now she basically is okay with me being murdered by Saturn if it brings Simons back. I guess I know who’s playing second fiddle nowadays. And we were so close. So close to being happy again. She’d started smiling at me again, like she used to. She was happy. I was happy. Almost together again. Everything was going so well. And then… this. But fine, I’ll get Simons back for her. If that’s what it takes to make her happy. I’ll find a way. Even if it kills me.
January 26, 2014
She loves someone else. I can’t do this anymore. Though why didn’t I see it coming? She talks about him so much, spends so much time with him, even admitted to remembering him first (yeah, ouch). How far off the deep end she went when he went missing. I should have seen this coming. I should have been more prepared. Well, I didn’t; I’m not. And now I’m dead inside. Sounds like a good time to go back to burying myself in my work. For the rest of eternity. Though that moment when she looked at me, pleading in her eyes, I just couldn’t be angry with her. Just broken. Just broken.
January 28, 2014
Like night and day. Well, the Fates smiled on me today. Or rather, Venus did. She came to visit me today while I was trying to bury myself in work to avoid thinking. She helped me to understand what was actually going on. I’d misinterpreted the entire thing. But it’s okay now. I went to see Felicity after Venus left and now… well, we’re dating again. Now if Saturn would trip and fall off a cliff, the world would be perfect.
February 7, 2014
Well, I was wrong about things not being able to get any better. I proposed to her today. She said yes. Excuse me while I go pinch myself.
