I'll be back with the sandwiches," she said. "But I had some leftover seven-layer dip." "Yum." Percy dug in with a tortilla chip. "She's kinda famous for this, guys." Sally ruffled his hair. "There's guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, salsa--" "Seven layers?" I looked up in wonder. "You knew seven is my sacred number? You invented this for me?" Sally wiped her hands on her apron. "Well, actually, I can't take credit--" "You are too modes..

Gods know about fading. They know about being forgotten over centuries. The idea of ceasing to exist altogether terrifies us. In fact- well, Zeus would not like me sharing this information, and if you tell anyone, I will deny I ever said it-but the truth is we gods are a little in awe of you mortals. You spend your whole lives knowing you will die. No matter how many friends and relatives you have, your puny existences will quickly be forgo..

A Styrofoam egg carton caught his eye. He opened it and found a single silver orb with little blinking red lights. "This is cool, too!" He dropped it into his backpack. "Dan, no!" "What? They've got plenty of other stuff, and we need all the help we can get!" "It could be dangerous." "I hope so."

The driver got out smiling. He looked about seventeen or eighteen, and for a second, I had the uneasy feeling it was Luke, my old enemy. This guy had the same sandy hair and outdoorsy good looks. But it wasn't Luke. His smile was brighter and more playful. (Luke didn't do much more than scowl and sneer these days.) The Maserati driver wore jeans and loafers and a sleeveless T-shirt. "Wow" Thalia muttered. Apollo Is hot." "He's the sun god,"..

Otis and his brother, Marvin, pulled the god's chariot. They also provided Thor with a never-ending supply of goat meat. Each night, Thor killed and ate them for dinner. Each morning, Thor resurrected them. This is why you should go to college, kids--so when you grow up you do not have to take a job as a magical goat.

Annabeth]I might have a plan. It'll be your turn to keep Serapis distracted.' Sadie frowned. 'Did I mention I'm out of magic?' 'That's okay,' Annabeth said. 'How are you at bluffing, lying and trash-talking?' Sadie raised an eyebrow. 'I've been told those are my most attractive qualities.' 'Excellent,' Annabeth said.

You wrote this right?" he said. "It tells how to defeat Set." Thoth unfolded the papyrus pages. "Oh, dear. I hate reading my old work. Look at this sentence. I'd never write it that way now." He patted his lab coat pockets. "Red pen--does anyone have one?" Isis chafed against my willpower, insisting that we blast some sense into Thoth. One fireball, she pleaded. Just one enormous magical fireball? I couldn't say I was tempted, but I kept he..

They'd welcomed him aboard their ship. Nico had never allowed himself the luxury of friends, but the crew of the Argo II was as close as he'd ever come. The idea of any of them dying made him feel empty - like he was back in the giants' bronze jar, alone in the dark, subsisting only on sour pomegranate seeds.
