But not like this: not withthe house just an afterimage, and my mom a spirit, and my dad...recycled.Carter Kane, Chapter 41
But how do we even get to the land of the dead? I asked. I mean…without dying.
Burrito fight!
Brother dear, I said, did your soul leave your body while Amos was talking, or did you actually hear him? Egyptian gods real. Red Lord bad. Red Lord’s birthday: very soon, very bad. House of Life: fus...
Boy, Annabeth interrupted, I'm sure you both would've been wonderful at killing each other. But right now you need some rest.
At this point, most people would have thrown themselves down on the ground and given up hope. And by most people, I mean me.
At first I was protecting you two because I promised. Now even if I hadn't promised, I would. You two are like kittens to me. I won't fail you again.I'll admit I got a lump in my throat. I'd never bee...
Are you kidding? She looked at me as if I'd just dropped from the moon. Her cheeks were bright red.What's the problem now? I demanded.Me, go with you to the...the 'Thrill Ride of Love'? How embarrassi...
Annabeth’s hand slipped into mine. Under different circumstances I would’ve been embarrassed, but here in the dark I was glad to know where she was. It was about the only thing I was sure of.
Annabeth jogged towards us, giving me one of those annoyed expressions like, If you get yourself killed, I’m going to murder you.

Annabeth and I were relaxing on the Great Lawn in Central Park when she ambushed me with a question.You forgot, didn’t you?I went into red-alert mode. It’s easy to panic when you’re a new boyfriend. S...
And yes,Percy,of course they are now in our United States. Look at your symbol,the eagle of Zeus. Look at the statue of Prometheus in Rockefeller Center,the Greek facades of our government builidings...
And now, sis. Transportation for the Hunters, you say? Good timing. I was just about ready to roll.These demigods will also need a ride, Artemis said, pointing to us. Some of Chiron's campers.No probl...
And flash him! Annabeth’s face reddened. That came out wrong. But yeah, good idea.
And do you know what a full-fledged war would look like, Percy?Bad? I guessed.Imagine the world in chaos. Nature at war with itself. Olympians forced to choose sides between Zeus amd Poseidon. Destruc...
All invincible and stuff
After all the dangerous adventures I'd had, I couldn't die like this. Sadie would be devastated. Then, once she got over her grief, she'd track down my soul in the Egyptian afterlife and tease me merc...
A demigod! one snarled.Eat it! yelled another.But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters.Back off! I yelled at the rest, tryi...
Zeus did not answer. He was probably too busy recording my humiliation to share on Snapchat.
