    Summary

    Odysseus looks at the map.

    He looks out the window.

    He looks at the map again.

    “This,” he says at length, “cannot be the way.”

    He risks a glance at Athena, who is white-knuckling the steering wheel, unblinking eyes fixed on the road ahead. It takes a brave man to tell the goddess of wisdom she’s wrong. It takes a braver man still — or perhaps just a foolish one — to do so from the passenger seat while she’s driving.

    ***

    Odysseus, Athena, and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.

    Summary

    'The events of the afternoon — the arena, her attempts to persuade the others to release Odysseus — have been wiped away. It does not make sense, but there it is. Was it a vision? Possible, Athena supposes, but doubtful. She’s never had any talent for prophecy — and from what she knows of it, she wouldn’t want to. Prophecies are glimpses of fate, hazy and distorted past the point of comprehension. Only in hindsight do they click, uselessly, into place.

    Whatever happened just now was no prophecy. It was too clear. Too real. Right up until it wasn’t.'

    Summary

    "I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.

    Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

    James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."

    Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.

    But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.

    Or

    Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

    Summary

    “Your mother would never have let me take you."

    “Why didn’t you just take us both?” Hazel crossed her arms and tried to look as stern and detached from the conversation as he did. “You tried to take Nico’s mom down here.”

    Pluto stared at her and said in a clear but quiet voice, “Because your mother raped me.”
