They lined the perimeter of the room, blocking the exits.Hades bellowed, "Do you think I want war godling?"I wanted to say, 'Well, these guys don't look like peace activists'. But I thought that might be a dangerous answer. "
129 " And tell me, Perseus Jackson"--I flinched when he said my real name, which I never told anybody--"what will people think of your 'science' two thousand years from now?" Mr. D continued. "Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo. That's what. Oh, I love mortals--they have absolutely no sense of perspective. They think they've come so-o-o far. "
130 " They must really like olives.""Oh, forget it.""Now, if she'd invented pizza-that I could understand. "
131 " So if the gods fight,' I said, 'will things line up the way they did with the Trojan War? Will it be Athena versus Poseidon?''I don't know what my mom will do. I just know I'll fight next to you. "
132 " You drool when you sleep "
133 " A faint smile played on his lips. "Obedience does not come naturally to you, does it""No...sir""I must take some blame for that, I suppose. The sea does not like to be restrained. "

135 " I nodded, disappointed, but then I got an idea. "Hey, Grover. You want a magic item?"His eyes lit up. "Me?"Pretty soon we'd laced the sneakers over his fake feet, and the world's first flying goat boy was ready for launch."Maia!" he shouted.He got off the ground okay, but then fell over sideways so his backpack dragged through the grass. The winged shoes kept bucking up and down like tiny broncos."Practice," Chiron called after him. "You just need practice!""Aaaaa!" Grover went flying sideways down the hill like a possessed lawn mower, heading toward the van. "
136 " La laguna Estigia está tan contaminada. Durante miles de años habéis ido tirando todo mientras la cruzabais: esperanzas, sueños, deseos que jamas se hicieron realidad. Gestión de residuos irresponsable, si vamos a eso "
137 " You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end "
