Percy's POV
Apollo assigned us speech topics a few days ago. Jason's is on the Sky, mine is on the Sea, and Hazel's is on the Gods. I guess Hades didn't want her spilling all of the Underworld's secrets.
Here's my speech:
The sea is a mysterious thing, powerful but soothing. It can be calm or angry. It is as though the sea has emotions and chooses to display them at different times.
The symbols of the ocean are three: trident, water, and Posideon himself.
The trident represents protection and power. Protection for underwater creatures and the power that the sea itself holds.
The water is one of the physical building blocks of the ocean and without it the sea has no physical basis.
Posideon, my father, is the ultimate symbol. He is the ocean itself and will forever be.
The ocean is the only place where I feel true bliss. I hope you feel the same.
I'm pretty surprised that I came up with this. It's actually decent which is WAY better than my usual writing.
You're not buying it are you? Oh, alright, Annabeth helped me. Hey, the gods didn't say anything against people helping you write it.
Two days until the ball. I can't wait to sweep Annabeth away on the dance floor. Maybe we can find a secret balcony to be alone.
Annabeth looks gorgeous in that dress. No wonder Aphrodite was the one to pick our finery for the ball.
I don't know why I keep thinking about the ball. Maybe I'm just nervous. Maybe I'm just expectant. I wonder if Clarrise will have to wear a dress. (Stifling a laugh.)
Oh by the way did you know that Nico's date is a daughter of Ares named Monica? Death and war do go good together.
