c7b9120 Let me explain: there are dragons, and then there are drakons. Drakons are several millennia older than dragons, andmuch larger. They look like giant serpents. Most don't have wings. Most don't breathe fire (though some do). All are poisonous. All are immensely strong, with scales harder than titanium.

a07662f When Nico had arrived at Camp Jupiter, Reyna didn't trust him. She'd sensed there was more to his story than being an ambassador from his father, Pluto. Now, of course, she knew the truth.

Strangely, that made Reyna trust Nico more. Rick Riordan

Look at the statue of Prometheus in Rockefeller Center,the Greek facades of our government builidings in Washington.

"I'm not mad because I'm a woman," I say. "I'm mad because you're an asshole." Margaret Atwood
