Answer 66

yeahh, about that...

Question 67

(poseidon) ...but you have your mother's strength. she was a queen amoung women.

Answer 67

then why'd you let her get stuck with a jerk like gabe?

Question 68

(poseidon) i thought you'd have figured that out by now. she chose to be with him, to protect you.

Answer 68

like... he has some sort of magical power?

Question 69

(poseidon) ...seriously, you've heard of hercules and the aegean stables? that guy smells worse.

Answer 69

i failed, dad. the oracle was right, i couldn't save what matters. i couldn't save mom.

(sally) you haven't changed at all.

Answer 75

okay, this is the weirdest family reunion ever.

Question 76

(poseidon) my brother will want his bolt back now. should've been the god of drama, that guy. but... i'll see you around.

Answer 76

so that's my dad.

Question 77

(sally) that's your dad.

Answer 77

he told me about gabe. mom, you don't have to stay with him for me.

Question 78

(sally) ...but you saved my life. it's time i figure out how to live it.

Answer 78

i know you'll be strong, mom. but if gabe does give you any more trouble...

Question 79

(sally) "care of aunty em's garden emporium?"

Answer 79

it's a do-it-yourself sculpture kit. (sally starts to open it) It's medusa's head.

Question 80

(annabeth) so what now?

Answer 80

as my official protector, you can officially escort us back to camp.

Question 81

(luke) ...join me. we'll make the gods pay for what they did to her. to all of us.

Answer 81

Question 82

(luke) it's not over yet. well, it is for percy.

Answer 82

Answer 83

wise girl?

Question 84

(chiron) ...i can't tell you want to do. but if you choose to remain here, know that you'll have the full protection of the gods.

Answer 84

no. luke was right about one thing. we can't hide at camp waiting for our parents to fix things. we have to do it ourselves - out there, in the real world. that's where the monsters are.

Question 85

(annabeth) the gods will say we're impertinent.

Answer 85

we are impertinent.
