The Olympians Read The Books

Three Old Ladies Knit the Socks of Death (Percy)

"Three Old Ladies Knit The Socks Of Death," I read.

[I was.... since Christmas]

"That would suck man," Leo commented

"'Suck' doesn't even begin to describe it, dude. It was pure torture, I thought I was going crazy."

All the demigods plus Rachel winced in understanding, knowing what that was like,

[Every.... psycho]

"Sorry man," Grover apologized with a guilty expression on his face.

"Dude, it's fine. Besides, you were sort of reassuring."

"What do you mean by that?" Jason asked confused with others looking just as confused. I didn't bother answering, instead choosing to continue reading.

[It got... the museum]

Everyone who was confused went 'ah' at that in understanding.

[I didn't.... that year]

"Something big must be going on," Frank said.

"That's for sure," I muttered under my breath before continuing.

[I started... sounded good]

All the book smart people burst out laughing at that.

"What does it mean?" I asked curiously.

"It means an old drunk," Annabeth explained after calming down enough to speak. 

At that, the rest of the room, minus Mr. D, cracked up. After a good couple minutes, I was able to continue.

[The headmaster..... poker parties]

"But, Paul-" Nico started.

"This is before me, Nico," Paul replied simply.

It was then that the room noticed mine and my mom's expressions. After a few minutes, I felt like I could continue.

[And yet.... believe him]

A small smile graced Chiron's face as he heard that. 

[The evening.... and Charon]

Annabeth, Grover, and I all started laughing at the irony there. 

"What's so funny?" Hazel asked confused.

"That would be spoilers, my dear friend," I replied cheekily.

[or Polydictes.... my shirt]

Everyone gave a shudder at the thought of that feeling.

[I remembered.... hadn't tried]

"I wouldn't have thought that, but for what it's worth, I'm proud of the work and effort you put into that final test," Chiron told me.

"Thank you, that means a lot," I said.

[I walked.... an adult]

All the teen or teen-like people nodded in understanding, knowing they'd do the same

[I inched.... next fall-"]

"Yikes. That's gotta hurt," Thalia said, wincing in sympathy.

"Yeah, no kidding."

[The mythology book..... winter solstice"]

"What happened at the winter solstice?" Jason asked.

"You'll find out," Grover answered this time.

[Mine either.... all night]

"So, you can act but not lie?" Nico asked incredulously.
