Death is happening to us all.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Percy, let me go" she croaked. "You can't pull me up."
    His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless.
    "Never," he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above.
    "The other side, Nico! We'll see you there. Understand?"
    Nico's eyes widened. "But-"
    "Lead them!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!"
    "I-I will."
    Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess.
    Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth's wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never looked more handsome.
    "We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."
    Only then did she understand what would happen. A one-way trip. A very hard fall.
    "As long as we're together," she said.
    She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw sunlight far, far above- maybe the last sunlight she would ever see.
    Then Percy let go of his ledge, and together, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    Rick Riordan
    “Percy smiled at her - that sarcastic troublemaker smile that had annoyed her for years but eventually had become endearing. His sea-green eyes were as gorgeous as she remembered. His dark hair was swept to one side, like he'd just come from a walk on the beach. He looked even better than he had six months ago - tanner and taller, leaner and more muscular.

    Percy threw his arms around her. They kissed and for a moment nothing else mattered. An asteroid could have hit the planet and wiped out all life, and Annabeth wouldn't have cared.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    Rick Riordan
    “Being a hero doesn’t mean you’re invincible. It just means that you’re brave enough to stand up and do what’s needed.”
