That was Hera. Her Majesty, the Loose Cannon.
Rick Riordan
Yeah, flattering. Percy raised Riptide. But actually I'm the son of Poseidon. I'm from Camp Half-Blood.
Rick Riordan
No doubt Carter would describe the underground city in excruciating detail, with exact measurements of each room, boring history on every statue and hieroglyph, and background notes on the construction of the magical headquarters of the House of Life. I will spare you that pain. It's big. It's full of magic. It's underground. There. Sorted.

Traitor! Hera shouted. You meddlesome, D-list goddess! You aren't worthy to pour my wine, much less rule the world.
Rick Riordan
[Percy] kept hoping things would get better for Annabeth and him, but their lives just got more dangerous, as if the Three Fates were up there spinning their futures with barbed wire instead of thread just to see how much two demigods could tolerate.

Our camels plodded along. Katrina tried to kiss, or possibly spit on Hindenburg, and Hindenburg farted in response. I found this a depressing commentary on boy-girl relationships.
Rick Riordan
I suppose with so many things suddenly getting better, the things that were still missing hurt even worse.
