He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn’t answer that one.) If Annabeth’s mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn’t Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend?

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.

there is power in killing innocence. Terrible power.
“Dad,” I said. “Help us. Get the Ophiotaurus and Grover safely to camp. Protect them at sea.” “A prayer like that needs a sacrifice,” Thalia said. “Something big.”
he has to sacrifice stuff to get a favor from his dad?
THIS IS LITERALLY JUST PERCY MAKING HIS DAD PAY UP IN CHILD SUPPORT C'MON
