Now I have an honest theory about that one.

And you're going to hate it for me Chrys.

Now I don't hate Piper, far from it...however. He sole power from her heritage is to be able to make anyone do what she wants just by asking. Now am I saying she used her charmspeak to make Jason fall in love with her? NO!....at least not consciously. After all her powers are fueled by her feelings and she had a crush on Jason a mile-wide before they actually got together...so maybe subconsciously some of her power leaked out, warping his mind just ever so slightly. I mean Lost Hero ends with him questioning if getting with Piper is a good idea because of his memories bringing forth new feelings and hints of a former romance and by Mark of Athena he won't even give Reyna the time of day...or it was just a case of bad writing.

Also no way in Tartarus did Octavian not deserve the death he got. Unlike Luke he wasn't manipulated or abused by the Titans/the Gods. He was just a power-hungry little monster that worked his way into Gaea's trap out of pure brashheaded stupidity and a refusal to listen to reason. And this is the kid descended from Julias Ceaser, a man killed by betrayal. I bet he flipped out from Elysium seeing what his descendant had done.
