ā€We did all the standard numbers: ā€˜Down by the AegeanĀ“, Ā“I Am My Own Great-Great-Great-Great-GrandpaĀ“, Ā“This Land is Minoā€™s LandĀ“. The bonfire was enchanted, so the louder you sang, the higher it rose, changing colour and heat with the mood of the crowd.ā€�

Sounds like a really nice night at Camp Halfblood, right? I mean who wouldnā€™t want to sing ā€œThis Land is Minoā€™s Landā€�? (On a side-note: Uncle Rick if you read this, can I please have the lyrics for those songs? *lol* Iā€™d love to read them!!!) Unfortunately not everything is as it seems, and Percy isnā€™t only plagued by strange dreams of his best friend wearing a bridal gown (Hey there Grover, youā€™re looking good! ;-P) but also by a few ancient monsters that apparently feel a need to attack his home.

But worry not! We all know that for every problem there is a solution and of course Annabeth already figured it out. I guess to have a daughter of Athena at your side really comes in handy sometimes. ;-) Especially if youā€™re a very practical and down-to-earth person like Percy.

ā€Iā€™ll give you a hint. What do you get when you skin a ram?ā€�
ā€œM±š²õ²õ²ā?ā€�

See, very practical indeed. *lol* Otherwise he probably would have never figured out that you donā€™t only get messy but also get a ā€œGolden Fleeceā€� as well. (Of course only if your sheep actually happens to be a golden sheep, but thatā€™s another story for another day. ;-P) Anyway, moving on. Camp Halfblood is in trouble and the only thing thatā€™s able to help them to restore their protective barrier is the Golden Fleece. So our favourite demi-gods do what they do best: They go on a dangerous quest! XD

ā€I thought about it. It did seem a little weird, but, I mean, doughnut shops werenā€™t really high on my list of sinister forces.ā€�

I totally agree with you Percy, but what about the dangers of the sea? Sirens, hydras, a sinister sorceress, a woman with six dog heads or a sea monster that swallows entire ships? What about guinea pigs? Guess they all count as sinister forces. (Yes, even the guinea pigs! *lol*) Well, Iā€™m pretty sure by now you all realized that Percyā€™s quest is rather adventurous and I admit it, even perilous. Our favourite hero wouldnā€™t be our favourite hero if he wouldnā€™t be able to circumnavigate all those lethal dangers though, (pun, totally intended! XD) and in the end ā€�

Well, what did you expect? Did you really think Iā€™d spoil you? *lol*
Nope, I wonā€™t. Youā€™ll have to find out for yourself. ;-P
Iā€™ll only tell you as much: It was a fun ride once again and after that mean cliff-hanger I canā€™t wait to get a hold of the next book! =)

ā€Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that weā€™re related, for better or worse ā€� and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.ā€�
