Wisdom´s daughter walks alone
The
Mark of Athena burns trough Rome,
Twins snuff out the angel´s
breath
Who holds the key to endless death,
Giants´ bane stands
gold and pale
Won trough pain from a woven jail
“Did
someone just call me the wine
dude?”
he asked in a lazy drawl. “It’s Bacchus, please. Or Mr. Bacchus.
Or Lord Bacchus. Or, sometimes, Oh-My-Gods-Please-Don’t-Kill-Me,
Lord Bacchus.”
- Baccus/ Dionysus
He was rewarded with a silver-and-red can of soda. He brandished it at the dolphin warriors as if spraying them with bug repellant.
"Behold!" Percy shouted. "The god's chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!"
The dolphin-men began to panic. They were on the edge of retreat. Percy could feel it.”

i The mark of athena återförenas
Percy och Annabeth, när skeppet argo II anländer till camp Jupiter.
Efter att Leo blivit besatt och attackerat lägermedlemmar så
tvingas Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Jason och coach
Hedge att fly från hämndlystna romare.
På jakt efter
information och planuppläggning om hur de ska besegra Gaea och
hennes giganter, dras gänget in i ett äventyr över hav mot Rom.
Där de behöver befria Hazel´s bror, Nico DiAngelo, från
tvilling-giganterna Ephialtes och Otis, för att få informationen om
hur man stänger dödens dörrar.
Samtidigt har Annabeth ett eget
uppdrag, att finna Athena Parthenos-statyn och hämnas i sin moder,
Athenas, namn. Ett uppdrag som ingen har återvänt från.
En totally awesome efterserie av, Rick
Riordans, Percy Jackson-serien. Lättläst, rolig, spännande,
händelserik och stundtals romantisk bok som verkligen håller upp
måttet. Var kul att se hur alla karaktärerna skulle förhålla sig
till varandra nu när de äntligen träffats
“What
are you talking about?" Narcissus demanded. "I am amazing.
Everyone knows this."
"Amazing
at pure suck," Leo said. "If I was as suck as you, I'd
drown myself. Oh wait, you already did that.

“They
had a silent staring contest, but Percy didn’t back down. When he
and Annabeth started dating, his mother had drummed it into his head:
It’s good manners to walk your date to the door. If that was true,
it had to be good manners to walk her to the start of her epic solo
death quest.”
- Percy Jackson
Leo
took out a pen and autographed the arm of one of the nymphs.
“Narcissus is a loser! He’s so weak, he can’t bench-press a
Kleenex. He’s so lame, when you look up lame on Wikipedia, it’s
got a picture of Narcissus—only the picture’s so ugly, no one
ever checks it out.

“Percy
looked at Coach Hedge and Frank. “A trap?”
“Probably,”
Frank said.“She’s
not mortal,” Hedge said, sniffing the air. “Probably some kind of
goat-eating, demigod-destroying fiend from Tartarus.”
“No
doubt,” Percy agreed.
“Awesome.”
Hedge grinned. “Let’s go.”
“Coach
Hedge came pounding up the stairs with Hazel at his hooves.
“Where
are they?” he demanded. “Who do I kill?”
“No
killing!” Annabeth ordered. “Just defend the ship!”
“But
they interrupted a Chuck Norris movie!”
- Coach Hedge och Hazel Levesque
Neither
torch nor dagger," Annabeth said firmly. "There is a third
test, which I will pass."
"A
third test?" the pater demanded.
"Mithras
was born from rock," Annabeth said, hoping she was right. "He
emerged fully grown from the stone, holding his dagger and
torch."
The
screaming and wailing told her she had guessed correctly.
"The
big mother knows all!" a ghost cried. "That is our most
closely guarded secret!"
Then
maybe you shouldn't put a statue of it on your altar, Annabeth
thought.
