If Annabeth’s mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn’t Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff?

Food!” It was terrifying, man.

Looking at the elementary schoolers in their colorful T-shirts from various day camps, Percy felt a twinge of sadness. He should be at Camp Half-Blood right now, settling into his cabin for the summer, teaching...

Monkey bar,” Annabeth said. “I’m great at these.” She leaped onto to the first rung and start swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from...

They all ordered massive plates of eggs, pancakes, and reindeer sausage, though Frank looked a little worried about the reindeer. “You think it’s okay that we’re eating Rudolph?””Dude,” Percy said, “I could eat Prancer and...

I was beginning to feel better, so Ithought I would talk with you a bit. You always manage to annoy me.”Uh, thanks.

The most dangerous flaws are those which are good in moderation,” she said. “Evil is easy to fight. Lack of wisdom… that is very hard indeed.

Leo smiled nervously. Maybe he and Percy did share something else – a stupid sense of humour. ‘Yeah, I bet that would totally be against her sponsorship deal. THOSE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL SHOES OF...

You promised you would protect her Nico said. He might as well have stabbed me with a rusty dagger.It would’ve hurt less than reminding me of my promise.

You’re cute when you’re worried, your eyebrows get all scrunched together.

Dude.” Jason gave Percy a bear hug.”Back from Tartarus!” Leo whooped. “That’s my peeps!

Nothing?” Favonius cried. “The one you care for most… plunged into Tartarus, and you still will not allow the truth?”Suddenly Jason felt like he was eavedropping. The one you care for most.

My mother was gone. The whole world should be black and cold. Nothing should look beautiful.

not giving people a second thought…that can be dangerous.

We need to hurry.

Right before the game, she strolled up to me. “Hey, Seaweed Brain.””Will you stop calling me that?”She knows I hate that name, mostly because I never have a good comeback. She’s the daughter of Athena,...

Annabeth came up to me. She was dressed in black camouflage with her Celestial bronze knife strapped to her arm and her laptop bag slung over her shoulder—ready for stabbing or surfing the Internet, whichever...

Percy’d heard stories about amputees who had phantom pains where their missing legsand arms used to be. That’s how his mindfelt—like his missing memories were aching.

Seriously, who curses you with their dying breath and says, I hope your eye twitches!

His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never looked more handsome.Percy & Annabeth

Yeah…we’ve been having conversations like that all night. I still don’t know what she’s talking about.

I love you.”She wasn’t sure he could hear her—but if they died, she wanted those to be her last words.

I past another telkhine, who was so startled he dropped his Lil’ Demons lunch box. I left him alive – partly because he had a cool lunch box…

Please?

The older lady harrumphed. “I warned you, daughter. This scoundrel Hades is no good. You could’ve married the god of doctors or the god of lawyers, but noooo. You had to eat the pomegranate.””Mother-“”And get...

Annabeth:My fatal flaw. That’s what the Sirens showed me. My fatal flaw is hubris. Percy: the brown stuff they spread on veggie sandwiches?Annabeth:No, Seaweed Brain. That’s HUMMUS. hubris is worse.Percy: what could be worse than...
