Summary: This is my interpretation of the Lotus Casino in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This takes place in book one and a little of book three but if you only read book one I still advise reading this. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the wonderful characters that Rick Riordan created.
The Lotus Casino
I have been here for what seems like only a week. Nevertheless, I know the truth about this horrible place. The only thing that prevents me from leaving is the fact that other kids are being trapped here without realizing it. My mother, Athena sent me here so I could watch out for other half-bloods that fell into the hands of the hotel manager. He is a son of Dionysus and is the most evil because he uses his power to attract people, mortal and half-blood alike, to this horrible place to stay forever and forget their quest. I observed a young boy come in with a girl and a satyr come in. With my wisdom, I could tell that the girl was also born by my mother. I helped the boy, Perceus Jackson remember his true quest to help our parents settle their dispute. Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky.
I first noticed this place when my mother took me to go with her and hunt down some Stymphilian Birds that were terrorizing some farmers in Kansas. She knew exactly how to kill them and brought me along to teach me. If you remember correctly, my mother was the one who told Heracles how to kill them for his twelve tasks. When I asked her what the place was, she only told me that it was a place of evil that should be avoided at all costs.
Another time, I saw two kids who I recognized as a son and daughter of Hades! When I told my mother, she started talking about things I did not understand. Finally, she explained to me that it was actually all right but she told me that after the war going on, World War II, Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon were going to promise not to give any more offsprings. Therefore, since it was my duty, I tried to figure out a way to get these two, Bianca and Nico, out of here. It took a long time to figure it out, but I got a friend of mine who is the son of Hermes, to disguise as a lawyer and take them out. I am not sure what happened to them, but I hope they are okay.
Now that I think about it, this Lotus Casino is pretty addicting and tempts me to stay here forever. They have great room service and the food is really good, too. They are very decorative and have expensive furniture and other luxuries. I think the most tempting one is all the games and how they are free. Oh man, I think I am starting to think like one of those people who are trapped in here. I hope I do not forget the time and that I can remember my quest to help people.
