Huh, said Percy. Never seen Jason fly before. He looks like a blond superman.
How flattering, I grumbled. My soul glows.
How did you decide when someone was irretrievably lost—when they were so evil or toxic or just plain set in their ways that you had to face the fact they were never going to change? How long could you...
