The Acrangel of God (Percy Jackson story) (OC Not Percy)

Chapter 9

They have been driven for some time 

The tow truck ran out of gas at the edge of a river canyon. That was just as well,because the road dead-ended. 

Thalia got out and slammed the door. Immediately, one of the tires blew. "Great. Whatnow?" 

Then they saw a river

"There's a path," Grover said. "We could get to the river."  

a tiny ledge winding downthe cliff face. 

"That's a goat path," Percy said.

"So?" Grover asked.  

"The rest of us aren't goats."  Said Percy

 "We can make it," Grover said. "I think." 

"May the gods help us for this" said Ronan and he Notice Thalia Pale face and he understood it that she fears height even Percy Notice her

"No," Percy said. "I, uh, think we should go farther upstream."  

Grover said, "But—"  

"Come on," Percy said. "A walk won't hurt us."  

"Percy's Right it won't hurt" said Ronan

"I'm with these 2" Said Bianca as she walk towards them

Both Percy and Ronan looked at Thalia in her eyes it would say Thank you to them

they  followed the river about half a mile before coming to an easier slope that led downto the water. On the shore was a canoe rental operation that was closed for the season

"We need to go upstream," Zoe said  "Therapids are too swift."

"Leave that to me," Percy said and they put the canoes in the water.

Thalia pulled Percy aside as They were getting the oars. "Thanks for back there."  

"Don't mention it."  Said Percy

"Your Welcome Thals" Said Ronan

Travel to upstream and even have encounter with the Naiads and they even hit zoe in the face with a water

The naiad Help them sped up their travel by boosting the river making the Canoes moved faster

This was as far as they could take Them. The river was blocked. A dam the size of afootball stadium stood in our path.

"Hoover Dam," Thalia said. "It's huge."  

"Truly huge" said Bianca as looked at how the Dam large

They stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between thecliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.  

canoes floated backdownstream, swirling in the wake from the dam's discharge vents. 

"Seven hundred feet tall," Percy said. "Built in the 1930s."  

"Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.  

Graver sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States."  

"And a great architecture too... Completed in 1936 5 years of hard work of 5,000 people" said Ronan

"Wow you people really know how it built" Said Bianca

Zoe stared at Them. "How do you know all that?" 

"Annabeth," Percy said. "She liked architecture."
