The weight of the sky dropped onto Atlas's back, almost smashing him flat until he managed to get to his knees, struggling to get out from under the crushing weight of the sky. But it was too late.

Um, Grover said. Percy? Yeah? I thought you'd want to know. Yeah? Cerberus? He's saying we've got ten seconds to pray to the god of our choice.After that...well...he's hungry.

Do you have a favorite constalation, Percy?' I was still kind of wondering about the little green snakes he'd shoved into his jogging shorts, but i said. 'Uh, I like Hercules.' 'Why?' 'Well... because he had rotten luck. Even worse than mine. It makes me feel better. The jogger chuckled. 'Not because he was strong and famouse and all that?' 'No.

I remembered the last time Annabeth and I had parted ways, when she'd given me a kiss for luck in Mount St. Helens. This time, all I got was the hat.
