Rick Riordan Quote
Bianca, camp is cool! It's got a pegasus stable and a sword-fighting arena and… I mean, what do you get by joining the Hunters?To begin with, Zoe said, immortality.I stared at her, then at Artemis. She's kidding, right?Zoe rarely kids about anything, Artemis said. My Hunters follow me on my adventures. They are my maidservants, my companions, my sisters-in-arms. Once they swear loyalty to me, they are indeed immortal… unless they fall in battle, which is unlikely. Or break their oath.What oath? I said.To foreswear romantic love forever, Artemis said. To never grow up, never get married. To be a maiden eternally.Like you?The goddess nodded.I tried to imagine what she was saying. Being immortal. Hanging out with only middle-school girls forever. I couldn't get my mind around it.
