“You can do this" I murmured. "You are my brother. I love you. All the embarrassing bits, all the annoying bits, which I imagine is most of you--a thousand Zias might run away from you if they knew the truth. But I won't. I'll still be here.”

“Excuse me, have you seen Death? Big guy with black feathery wings? Likes to reap souls?”

“What was I up to, you may ask? I certainly didn't want to meet Monsieur Evil again or creepy old Lord Salamander.”

'Because I have so many qualities to praise!”

“Twelve minutes. I can give you that.”

“Boy," Annabeth interrupted, "I'm sure you both would've been wonderful at killing each other. But right now you need some rest.”

“Her freckles were orange, as if somebody had spray-painted her face with liquid Cheetos.”

“Annabeth glared at me like she was going to punch me. But she did something that surprised me even more…

She kissed me.”

“Get closer," I told Blackjack. "I need to talk to the statue."he muttered, but he flew as close as he could, dodging the flying statue.”

“How does Galdoila know about the reward?" i asked.
"He reads the signs," Grover said. "Duh."
"Of course," I said. "Silly me.”

“My eyes were gray—more like my cousin Annabeth’s than my mom’s.”

“No doubt she was thinking, Who dressed this poor girl like a traffic light?”
