Summary of Important Events Prior to The Rise and Fall of Percy Jackson
The Lightning Thief:
-While facing off against Medusa, Percy is caught in her gaze, but he fails to be turned to stone. He assumes this is a fluke, but keeps it in mind for the future.
The Sea of Monsters:
-Again, in another straight of luck for Percy, the Sirens fail to seduce him with their singing voice, and he is able to move around freely without covering his ears.
-Percy becomes good friends with Silena following their meeting at the stables. Throughout the entirety of the three books before the Last Olympian, their friendship grows. Oftentimes, they will wrestle or play capture the flag together, or make jokes at Beckendorf's expense.
("But Charlie, it's totally okay because you know we both love you!")
("I was aware that one of you loved me… I'm not sure I want to get in the middle of you two, though. I mean, if this is gonna tear your friendship apart…I don't want to die being fought over!)
The Titan's Curse:
-Percy meets Silena's uncle/godfather, a bespectacled man by the name of Crowley. He feels the man to be kind and warm, but gets a hint of the man's darker side when Crowley falls into a state of depression as they leave.
-Later on, Kronos is revived, but he is weak and must regain power. Luke lives despite Kronos' arrival on Earth, so at the beginning of this story, he is still alive.
The Battle of the Labyrinth:
-Daedalus is in this version of events much more resistant to giving up his own life to destroy the labyrinth, but ultimately, after Percy watches him struggle with a strange dream, he vows to surrender his life, and tells Percy that he believes Percy can bring the gods back together. Afterwards, he sacrifices his life to save the camp. Much of Kronos' army is destroyed.
