There’s something so intriguing to me about how Rachel has stronger “prophecy powers” than Octavian, but she can’t control when she speaks prophecies, yet Octavian’s “prophecy powers” are much weaker, but he can control when he reads them.
#idk. it just feels like theyd be such interesting friends/rivals in any other universe#like. him being jealous of her being chosen by apollo to give prophecies. and her not needing to perform auguries#(..which octavian doesnt even do. but thats a thing for elsewhere)#(because auguries are reliant on birds. not cutting open animals. stuffed or otherwise)#vs. her being jealous of him having the freedom to decide when he wants to give prophecies and if he even wants to give the#*them#he has the freedom to quit. she essentially sold her soul to be an oracle until death. when she was 15.#of all her friends. shes one of the only people forever unable to fully leave camp behind..#rachel my beloved <3#(and octavian my beloved <3)#i just want them to be friends#and also she could befriend his fluffy cat. aristophanes (because who else would own a cat called ‘aristophanes’??)#theyre just so perfect to be friends/rivals#and yet.#rachel elizabeth dare#rachel dare#octavian pjo#octavian hoo#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#hoo#heroes of olympus#riordanverse
