Rick Riordan Quote
Kronos couldn't have risen if it hadn't been for a lot of demigods who felt abandoned by their parents, I said. They felt angry, resentful, and unloved, and they had a good reason.Zeus's royal nostrils flared. You dare accuse-No more undetermined children, I said. I want you to promise to claim your children-all your demigod children-by the time they turn thirteen. They won't be left out in the world on their own at the mercy of monsters. I want them claimed and brought to camp so they can be trained right, and survive. Now, wait just a moment, Apollo said, but I was on a roll.And the minor gods, I said. Nemesis, Hecate, Morpheus, Janus, Hebe--they all deserve a general amnesty and a place at Camp Half-Blood. Their children shouldn't be ignored. Calypso and the other peaceful Titan-kind should be pardoned too. And Hades-Are you calling me a ? Hades bellowed.
