Rick Riordan Quote
My faithful companion, Zoe Nightshade, has passed into the stars. I must have a new lieutenant. And I intend to choose one. But first, Father Zeus, I must speak to you privately.Zeus beckoned Artemis forward. He leaned down and listened as she spoke in his ear.A feeling of panic seized me. Annabeth, I said under my breath. Don't.She frowned at me. What?Look, I need to tell you something, I continued. The words came stumbling out of me. I couldn't stand it if… I don't want you to—Percy? she said. You look like you're going to be sick.And that's how I felt. I wanted to say more, but my tongue betrayed me. It wouldn't move because of the fear in my stomach
