Grover and Nico came back from their walk, and Grover helped me fix up my wounded arm. It's green! Nico said with delight.
Rick Riordan
Oh, my dear! I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for someone else! My name is Rhea Silvia. I was the mother to Romulus and Remus, thousands of years ago. But you’re so kind to think I look as young as the 1950s.

He could't have survied a hundred foot drop. I'm sorry Annabeth.
Rick Riordan
We choose to believe in Ma'at. We create order out of chaos, beauty out of ugly randomness. That's what Egypt is all about.

Annabeth came up to me. She was dressed in black camouflage with her Celestial bronze knife strapped to her arm and her laptop bag slung over her shoulder—ready for stabbing or surfing the Internet, whichever came first.

Rick Riordan
