The Son of Sobek Text!

I got a comment saying that many sites that had The Son of Sobek preview on them are getting blocked. In case you haven't read it [or want to read it again], here you go!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANTHING PERCY JACKSON RELATED! IT IS STILL OWNED BY THE GREAT AND POWERFUL RICK RIORDAN!
ENJOY!

The surface of the river churned with bubbles. The crocodile was gone, but standing in the marsh about twenty feet away was a teenage guy in jeans and a faded orange T-shirt that said CAMP something. I couldn’t read the rest. He looked a little older than me—maybe seventeen—with tousled black hair and sea-green eyes. What really caught my attention was his sword—a straight double-edged blade glowing with faint bronze light.

I’m not sure which of us was more surprised.

For a second, Camper Boy just stared at me. He noted my khopesh and wand, and I got the feeling that he actually saw these things as they were. Normal mortals have trouble seeing magic. Their brains can’t interpret it, so they might look at my sword, for instance, and see a baseball bat or a walking stick.

But this kid . . . he was different. I figured he must be a magician. The only problem was, I’d met most of the magicians in the North American nomes, and I’d never seen this guy before. I’d also never seen a sword like that. Everything about him seemed . . . un-Egyptian.

“The crocodile,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm and even. “Where did it go?”Camper Boy frowned. “You’re welcome.”

“What”

“I stuck that croc in the rump.” He mimicked the action with his sword. “That’s why it vomited you up. So, you’re welcome. What were you doing in there?”

I’ll admit I wasn’t in the best mood. I smelled. I hurt. And, yeah, I was a little embarrassed: the mighty Carter Kane, head of Brooklyn House, had been disgorged from a croc’s mouth like a giant hairball.

“I was resting,” I snapped. “What do you think I was doing? Now, who are you, and why are you fighting my monster?”

“Your monster?” The guy trudged toward me through the water. He didn’t seem to have any trouble with the mud. “Look, man, I don’t know who you are, but that crocodile has been terrorizing Long Island for weeks. I take that kind of personal, as this is my home turf. A few days ago, it ate one of our pegasi.”

A jolt went up my spine like I’d backed into an electric fence. “Did you say pegasi?”

He waved the question aside. “Is it your monster or not?”

“I don’t own it!” I growled. “I’m trying to stop it! Now, where—”

“The croc headed that way.” He pointed his sword to the south. “I would already be chasing it, but you surprised me.”

He sized me up, which was disconcerting since he was half a foot taller. I still couldn’t read his T-shirt except or the word CAMP. Around his neck hung a leather strap with some colorful clay beads, like a kid’s arts and crafts project. He wasn’t carrying a magician’s pack or a wand. Maybe he kept them in the Duat? Or maybe he was just a delusional mortal who’d accidentally found a magic sword and thought he was a superhero. Ancient relics can really mess with your mind.

Finally he shook his head. “I give up. Son of Ares? You’ve got to be a half-blood, but what happened to your sword? It’s all bent.”

“It’s a khopesh.” My shock was rapidly turning to anger. “It’s supposed to be curved.”

But I wasn’t thinking about the sword. Camper Boy had just called me a half-blood? Maybe I hadn’t heard him right. Maybe he meant something else. But my dad was African American. My mom was white. Half-blood wasn’t a word I liked.

“Just get out of here,” I said, gritting my teeth. “I’ve got a crocodile to catch.”

“Dude, I have a crocodile to catch,” he insisted. “Last time you tried, it ate you. Remember?”

My fingers tightened around my sword hilt. “I had every-thing under control. I was about to summon a fist—”

For what happened next, I take full responsibility. I didn’t mean it. Honestly. But I was angry. And as I may have mentioned, I’m not always good at channeling words of power. While I was in the crocodile’s belly, I’d been preparing to summon the Fist of Horus, a giant glowing blue hand that can pulverize doors, walls, and pretty much anything else that gets in your way. My plan had been to punch my way out of the monster. Gross, yes; but hopefully effective. I guess that spell was still in my head, ready to be triggered like a loaded gun. Facing Camper Boy, I was furious, not to mentioned dazed and confused; so when I meant to say the English word fist, it came out in Ancient Egyptian instead: Khefa.

Such a simple hieroglyph:

You wouldn’t think it could cause so much trouble. 

 

God of the Week 1!

I have now decided that every Monday, I will be doing "God of the Week!" This weeks god is Poseidon!

God: Poseidon

God of: The Sea, Storms, Earthquakes, and Horses

Demigod Children*: Percy Jackson and Tyson (Frank Zhang is a descendant)

If you have any preferences in who you want to see be featured as God of the Week, comment or email me, and it'll happen!
*When I say "demigod children," I am only referring to main characters

Do You Believe This?

I always see this, but keep forgetting to post about it. Rick Riordan claims to have never seen The Lightning Thief Movie. Like seriously?!

He's said it countless times, on Twitter, on his Blog, and even on the official website!

[here is the question from his website under FAQ] http://rickriordan.com/about-rick/faq.aspx

Q: I have a question or comment about the Percy Jackson movie.

A: Sorry, that’s not my department! I can only tell you that the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, released Feb. 12, 2010 and directed by Chris Columbus, was based on my book The Lightning Thief. Understand that I did not write the script or help make the movie. I didn't even see it, because I didn't want the movie version to change the way I saw my characters or settings in the series! I just write the books. I can’t comment or provide any additional information about the movie version.

I'm sorry Rick, but I do not for one minute believe there is a chance in the Underworld that you didn't see it! I know I'm not a famous author, but I do not see it possible that you would not see a movie made because of you! I mean, I just don't believe it!

What do you think: Truth or Lie?

 

P.S. I hope your all still writing for the contest! I haven't gotten nearly enough entries!

Fun Demigod Facts!

Many demigods' last names seem to relate to their Olympian parent in Riordan's series!

Here is a list of what I'm talking about:

Castor and Pollux, twin sons of Dionysus - They share the same names as the twins of the Gemini

Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares - In French, Rue is to regret, as Clarisse inflicts regret to all who face her in battle. Also a LaRue OBR is a type of rifle.

Connor and Travis Stoll, sons of Hermes - 'Travis' is a pun on the word 'travel', since Hermes is the patron of travelers, and 'Connor' is a pun on the word 'con', since Hermes is the god of thieves and con men, which was brought up in the Sea of Monsters. Also, their surname is a homonym for 'stole', again, since Hermes is the god of thieves.

Frank Zhang, son of Mars, legacy of Poseidon- Frank name means bow and spear and his dad is the god of war. Zhang is Chinese for 'Master of Bows', as mentioned in The Son of Neptune.

Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto - She is named after jewel which her dad controls.

Jake Mason, son of Hephaestus - Mason means "one who works with stone".

Jason Grace, son of Jupiter - He was named after the original Jason to appease Hera's wrath, because Jason was her favorite hero.

Katie Gardner and Miranda Gardiner, daughters of Demeter - Demeter is the goddess of the harvest and their last names refer to one who gardens or works with plants.

Lee Fletcher, son of Apollo - A fletcher is someone who makes archery arrows.

Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus - Leo is the zodiac sign for a lion, and the element for Leo is fire. It may also be a reference to Leonardo Da Vinci, a famous inventor.

Micheal Yew, son of Apollo - Yew is a favorable choice of wood to use for longbows.

Nico di Angelo, son of Hades - Nico is most likely derived from the Greek prefix Necro, to mean "dead". Di Angelo means "of angels" in Italian

Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon - Percy claims his mother named him Perseus, after the son of Zeus. Perseus is a Greek name which means "destroyer". The name has a reference to Poseidon, who is known to cause destruction like storms, earthquakes, shipwrecks, etc., when angered.

Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite - Piper was named "Piper" because of her charm speak, bestowed by Aphrodite.

Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite - Beau regard is French. It literally means "good looking."

Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus - The name of one of the three Graces (and nine Muses) is Thalia. She too, was a daughter of Zeus. The Muse Thalia sired the Corybantes, with Apollo. This Thalia was also attracted to Apollo, saying that he was "hot."

Will Solace, son of Apollo - Though Solace really means "to comfort in distress", just as Will comforted and healed Annabeth when she was injured, Solace could also be a play on the word "Solar".

Isn't that cool?

There You Go!

I got an email saying I wasn't creative enough! I'm not sure if it was a joke or not, but it got me thinking. I don't make many things that are on my blog, besides the posts, of course, so here you go!

I know, I'm not funny at all :). But you said you wanted to see me make somethings, and that's what I did.

**This is not my post for today. I will have another post posted later. I just did this to prove a point!**

The Son of Sobek Review!

WARNING: CONTAINS THE SON OF SOBEK SPOILERS!

In the beginning, I thought, Well...it could be better. However, throughout reading, I progressively began to love it more and more!

Let's talk about what we know:

1. It will only involve the main characters Percy Jackson and Carter Kane. No other main characters will be involved.

2. Some kind of fight is going to happen based on the end...and seriously Rick?! A cliffhanger ending to a preview to a short story which will just end in another cliffhanger!?

3. It will be told from the POV of Carter Kane. There may be Percy's also, but I doubt it.

4. Well that's about it...nothing else is evident.

Now, what I think:

1. Carter is going to be very sorry that he messed with Percy...it usually doesn't turn out well!

2. That crocodile was The Son of Sobek -- kinda obvious since Sobek is the Egyptian god of crocodiles.

3. Horus will be of a help to Carter in some way--Sobek was thought to be an aspect of Horus.

4. Poseidon will be of a help to Percy--Crocodiles=Water=Poseidon.

5. Poseidon and Horus will not meet -- I just think that would cause to much controversy for a 40 page story.

Well..that's it. Not much happened, but just the idea that all this is going to happen is amazing!
