Rick Riordan Quote

Athena stood in the middle of the road with her arms crossed and a look on her face that made me think . She'd changed out of her armor, into jeans and a white blouse, but she didn't look any less warlike. Her gray eyes blazed.Well, Percy, she said. You will stay mortal.Um, yes, ma'am.I would know your reasons.I want to be a regular guy. I want to grow up. Have, you know, a regular high school experience.And my daughter?I couldn't leave her, I admitted, my throat dry. Or Grover, I added quickly. Or-Spare me. Athena stepped close to me, and I could feel her aura of power making my skin itch. I once warned you, Percy Jackson, that to save a friend you would destroy the world. Perhaps I was mistaken. You seem to have saved both your friends and the world. But think very carefully about how you proceed from here. I have given you the benefit of the doubt. Don't mess up.Just to prove her point, she erupted in a column of flame, charring the front of my shirt.
