“Very slowly using two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.

Octavian made a squeaking sound. "What was that for? I didn't say toss it! That could've been evidence. Or spoils of war!"

Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.

"You other two..." He pointed his blade a Hazel and Piper. "Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus--"

All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.

"You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”

“Down in the water, Octavian yelled, “Get me out of here! I’ll kill you!â€�
“Tempting,â€� Percy called down.”

“Yay!â€� Tyson went around the couches and gave everyone a big hug—even Octavian, who didn't look thrilled about it.”

“Percy grunted. ‘Probably something to do with that creep Octavian. Maybe he was so bad at telling the future that he broke Apollo’s powers.”

“As Hazel marched down the hill, she cursed in Latin. Percy didn’t understand all of it, but he got son of a gorgon, power-hungry snake, and a few choice suggestions about where Octavian could stick his knife.”

“You dropped this,� he said, totally poker-faced.
Annabeth threw her arms around him. “I love you!�
“Guys,� Hazel interrupted. She had a little smile on her face. “We need to hurry.�

“Octavian menjerit-jerit dengan suara melengking—mungkin memerintakan Kohort I agar bertahan dengan gagah, mungkin sedang mencoba menyanyi sopran—tapi Percy menghentikannya.”

“About this time he had the sarcophagus and body of Alexander the Great brought forth from its shrine, and after gazing on it, showed his respect by placing upon it a golden crown and strewing it with flowers; and being then asked whether he wished to see the tomb of the Ptolemies as well, he replied, "My wish was to see a king, not corpses.”

“Exista un risc al vorbelor frumoase. Sa ne obisnuim cu ele si sa le repetam din rutina. In loc sa iubim, ne declaram iubirea. Iar acest risc este si mai grav cand totul decade in retorica de circumstanta. Nu cred in cei care isi vocifereaza dragostea pe toate raspantiile. Poate ma insel, dar am fost totdeauna convins ca adevarata dragoste te strange de gat, nu te impinge la triade. Ea prefera soapta si uneori chiar tacerea, iar daca e nevoita sa iasa in scena, sub reflectoare, se simte stingherita. Nu pentru ca nu i-ar placea sarbatoarea, ci pentru ca se teme sa nu para teatrala.

Fireste, stiu ca o dragoste trebuie totusi marturisita din cand in cand. Nu neaparat pentru altii, ci pentru bucuria de a o marturisi.”
― Octavian Paler
