#31. "What if we promoted, like, Adidas shoes?" Percy wondered. "Would that make Nike mad enough to show up?"

Leo smiled nervously. Maybe he and Percy did share something else – a stupid sense of humor. "Yeah, I bet that would be totally be against her sponsorship deal. THOSE ARE NOT THE OFFICIAL DEAL OF OLYMPUS! YOU WILL DIE NOW!"

Hazel rolled her eyes. "Your both impossible."

Behind Leo, a thunderous voice shook the ruins: "YOU WILL DIE NOW!"

#32. "Oh, come on!' Percy complained. 'I get a little nosebleed and I wake up the entire earth? That's not fair!"

#33. "No one can hate you with more intensity than someone who used to love you."

#34. "To my wonderful readers. Sorry about that apology for that last cliffhanger. I'll try to avoid cliffhangers in this book. Well, except for maybe a few small ones... because I love you guys."

#35. "He forced his fists to unclench. "Look, lady, we're not going to go all Hunger Games on each other. Isn't going to happen."

#36. "Catch that last episode of Doctor Who? Oh, right. You were trudging through the Pit of Eternal Damnation!"

#37. "I … what? Why would you want a son of Hades in the same room with people you're trying to heal? Why would anyone want that?"
"You can't help out a friend? Maybe cut bandages? Bring me a soda or a snack? Or just a simple How's it going, Will? You don't think I could stand to see a friendly face?"
"What … my face?"
The words simply didn't make sense together: Friendly face. Nico di Angelo.

#38. "Atlantis?" Jason asked.
"That's a myth," Percy said.
"Uh...don't we deal in myths?"
"No, I mean it's a MADE-UP myth. Not like, an actual true myth."
"So this is why Annabeth is the brains of the operation, huh?"

#39. Some pain shouldn't be wished away so easily. It had to be dealt with, even embraced.

#40. You can't choose your parentage. But you can choose your legacy.

#41. Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her...long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone`s heart whole; that was a much better test.

#42. "Will they cower?" Kym asked.
"Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure."
"No!" Polybotes wailed. "Not merchandising rights!"

#43. "There are too many of them." Reyna wondered bitterly how many times she'd said that in her demigod career.
She should have a badge made and wear it around to save time. When she died, the words would probably be written on her tombstone: There were too many of them.

#44. "Good. So you may be dense, but you're not an idiot."
"How can you even talk to me like that? Don't you know I can summon zombies and skeletons and –"
"Right now you couldn't summon a wishbone without melting into a puddle of darkness, di Angelo," Will said. "I told you, no more Underworldy stuff, doctor's orders. You owe me at least three days of rest in the infirmary. Starting now."
Nico felt like a hundred skeletal butterflies were resurrecting in his stomach. "Three days? I – I suppose that would be okay."

#45. Our desires reveal us. They show us for who we really are.

#46. "You will suffer, son of Hades!"
What else is new? Nico thought.

#47. "This is the Valdezinator, of course!" He puffed out his chest. "It works by, um, translating your feelings into music as you manipulate the gears. It's really meant for me, a child of Hephaestus, to use, though. I don't know if you could -"
"I am the god of music!' Apollo cried. "I can certainly master the Valdezinator. I must! It is my duty!"

#48. Then she did something so unexpected Nico would later think he dreamed it. She walked up to Nico, who was standing to one side in the shadows, as usual. She grabbed his hand and pulled him gently into the firelight. "We had one home," she said. "Now we have two." She gave Nico a big hug and the crowd roared with approval. For once, Nico didn't feel like pulling away. He buried his face in Reyna's shoulder and blinked the tears out of his eyes.

#49. He hated when his own advice applied to himself.

#50. Leo's voice boomed over the loudspeaker: "SURRENDER! YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY ONE SPANKING HOT WAR MACHINE!"
The giant Enceladus howled in outrage. "Valdez!"
"WHAT'S UP, ENCHILADAS?" Leo's voice roared back. "NICE DAGGER IN YOUR FOREHEAD."
"GAH!" The giant pulled Katoptris out of his head. "Monsters: destroy that ship!"

#51. "Decapitation is not a healthy lifestyle choice."

#52. He looked at the silver pocketknife in his hand. An idea came to him – possibly the stupidest, craziest idea he'd had since he thought, Hey, I'll get Percy to swim in the River Styx! He'll love me for that!

#53. "Nico scowled. "It's none of your business, but I don't belong. That's obvious. No one wants me. I'm a child of -"
"Oh, please." Will sounded unusually angry. "Nobody at Camp Half-Blood ever pushed you away. You have friends – or at least people who would like to be your friend. You pushed yourself away. If you'd get your head out of that brooding cloud of yours for once -"

#54. "No," Nico said. "Getting a second life is one thing. Making it a better life, that's the trick." As soon as he said it, Nico realized he could've been talking about himself. He decided not to bring that up.

#55. "I don't define myself by the boys who may or may not like me"

#56. "A wind that blows aimlessly is no good to anyone."

#57. Travis: "What do you mean we set land mines on the wrong hill?"

#58. "The winds Jason said. "Father, can't you unleash the winds to send our ships back?"

Zeus glowered. "I could slap you back to Long Island."

"Um, was that a joke, a threat, or -"

"No," Zeus said. "I meant it quite literally. I could slap your ship back to Camp Half-Blood, but the force involved..."

#59. "This is for Phoebe," she snarled in his ear. "For Kinzie. For all those you killed. You will die at the hands of a girl."

#60. "Will Solace stood in the doorway of the Apollo cabin, a stern look on his face. He pointed to the ground at his feet, like You. Here. Now.
"Jason," Nico said, "Would you excuse me?"
