Ah, Senor Zhang," Leo said, "you know how you're always saying, 'Leo, you are the only true genius among demigods'?""I'm pretty sure I never said that.

Correct." Kekrops sounded bitter, like he regretted his decision. "My people were the original Athenians--the gemini.""Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo.""No, stupid. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.

We got lots of secrets, Will. You Apollo guys can't have all the fun. Our campers have been excavating the tunnel system under Cabin Nine for almost a century. We still haven't found the end. Anyway, Leo, if you don't mind sleeping in a dead man's bed, it's yours-Jake Suddenly Leo didn't feel like kicking back. He sat u, careful not to touch any of the buttons. The counselor who died-this was his bed-Leo Yeah. Charles Beckendorf-Jake Leo imagined saw blades coming through the mattress, or maybe a grenade sewn inside the pillows. He didn't, like, die IN this bed, did he-LeoNo. In the Titan War, last summer-JakeThe Titan War, which has NOTHING to do with this very fine bed-Leo"The Titans," Will said, like Leo was an idiot. The big powerful guys that ruled the world before the gods. They tried to make a comeback last summer. Their leader, Kronos, built a new palace on top of Mount Tam in California. Their armies came to New York and almost destoyed Mount Olympus. A lot of demigods died trying to stop them-WillI'm guessing this wasn't on the news-LeoIt seemed like a fair question, but Will shook his head in disbelief. You didn't hear about Mount St. Helens erupting, or the freak storms across the country, or that building collapsing in St Louis-WillLeo shrugged. Last summer, he'd been on the run from another foster home. Then a truancy officer caught him in New Mexico, and the court sentenced him to the nearest correction facility-the Wilderness School. Guess I was busy-LeoDoesn't matter. You were lucky to miss it. The thing is, Beckendorf was one of the first casualties, and ever since then-JakeYour cabin's been cursed-Leo

What if we promoted, like, Adidas shoes?_ Percy wondered. __ould that make Nike mad enough to show up?'Leo smiled nervously. Maybe he and Percy did share something else _ a stupid sense of humour.__eah, I bet that would totally be against her sponsorship deal. THOSE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL SHOES OF THE OLYMPICS! YOU WILL DIE NOW!

He was making a brave attempt, but Jason could see the sadness lingering in his eyes. Something had happened to him... something to do with Calypso.

Oh, by the way_ Jason glanced at Percy. __ resigned my office, gave Frank a field promotion to praetor. Unless you want to contest that ruling._ Percy grinned. __o argument here._ __raetor?_ Hazel stared at Frank. He shrugged uncomfortably. __ell_ yeah. I know it seems weird._ She tried to throw her arms around him, then winced as she remembered her busted ribs. She settled for kissing him. __t seems perfect._ Leo clapped Frank on the shoulder. __ay to go, Zhang. Now you can order Octavian to fall on his sword.

I know, I'm an idiot!" Leo moaned. "A brilliant idiot, but still an idiot.

If the statue engulfs people in fire, we should send Leo._ __ love you too, man._ __ou know what I mean. You__e immune. Or, heck, give me some of those nice water grenades and I__l go. Ares and I have tangled before.

Leo smiled nervously. Maybe he and Percy did share something else _ a stupid sense of humour. __eah, I bet that would totally be against her sponsorship deal. THOSE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL SHOES OF THE OLYMPICS! YOU WILL DIE NOW!_ Hazel rolled her eyes. __ou__e both impossible._ Behind Leo, a thunderous voice shook the ruins: __OU WILL DIE NOW!

You must forge your own path for it to mean anything.

Annabeth gripped the hilt of her dagger. __ bounty on our heads . . . as if we didn__ attract enough monsters already.___o we get WANTED posters?_ Leo asked. __nd do they have our bounties, like, broken down on a price li

Correct." Kekrops sounded bitter, like he regretted his decision. "My people were the original Athenians--the gemini.""Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo.""No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.

Lots of death, huh? Personally, I'm trying to avoid lots of death, but you guys have fun!

Like your zodiac sign? Percy asked. 'I'm a Leo.'No, stupid,' Leo said. I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.

I still don't understand what a sea god would be doing in Atlanta."Leo snorted. "What's a wine god doing in Kansas? Gods are weird.

[Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered__ll hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch. Frank__ Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement. Hazel__ hair was all blown to one side as though she__ walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. His T-shirt was in charred tatters. His arms were smoking.

Oh, yeah?" Leo growled. "Well, maybe you got the smoke, buddy, but I've got the fire.

Festus just detected a large group of eagles behind us__ong-range radar, still not in sight.__iper leaned over the console. __re you sure they__e Roman?__eo rolled his eyes. __o, Pipes. It could be a random group of giant eagles flying in perfect formation. Of course they__e Roman!
