Hey guys,
It's me, Pratsie here again! Before I begin writing about anything, I have to say!!! SPOILER ALERT! This post is about one more of my addictions... PERCY JACKSON!!! This book series is written by Rick Riordan. I only read it because my best friend was ready to kill me if I did not read it. I really started reading it half-heartedly, but soon... I fell in love with it.
I finished reading all of the PJO (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) as well as HoO (Heroes of Olympus). My favourite character was Annabeth Chase and now she is my second favourite... My favourite is Leo Valdez from HoO. He is the absolute best. To me, sense of humor matters a lot. And Leo is the definition of humor. I'm so obsessed with Percy Jackson that I have a folder in my laptop full of oneshots. Here is one! Hehe
HAHAHAHAHA! I just can't get enough of one shots. But I just realised I still haven't told you guys what PJO is about, well Percy Jackson is about Greek Mythology. Greek gods start having kids with mortals, these kids end up in like a half state. They are known as Demigods or Half-bloods. There is nothing wrong with their appearance, they can be seen or hunted down my Greek Mythology monsters.
To stay alive they have this special camp called as Camp Half blood. This place is a home for demigods. Monsters cannot enter the camp. In this place they train, and even go on quests. Quests are little jobs or things for gods.
I want to talk (write) about the wonders of Greek mythology. Here are 12 olympians: the main gods so far:
- Zeus:The main dude😉 - the sky god
- Poseidon : The brother of Zeus - god of seas
- Hades : One brother of Zeus - god of underworld
- Hera : Wife of Zeus and goddess of Family
- Hestia : Sister of Zeus and goddess of hearth
- Demeter : Sister of Zeus and goddess of harvest
-Apollo : Son of Zeus and god of Sun
-Artemis : Sibling of Apollo, god of Moon
-Ares : God of war - ummm.. I forgot the relationship
- Hephaestus: God of blacksmith and that kind of stuff…
- Hermes : god of travel, messengers, thieves.
- Dionysus : God of wine
So like mentioned above, each of the gods and goddesses have a role. But in the book, some are depicted as rude, mean and so on…(mostly bad qualities)
That aside, let's talk about the story! In the first book, Percy Jackson is just getting introduced to the world around him and goes on a quest for his dad (Poseidon).
The big three - Poseidon, Zeus and Hades made an oath not to ever have children with mortals, but with then being gods and all, for them it is natural to break that oath!
The other two found out that Poseidon had a kid and that being Percy! Hahaha! OBVI. But, really the other 2 had also broken the oath.
But anyway, Zeus thinks that Poseidon stole his lightning bolt, but because there is a rule among gods that one of the god’s can’t steal another’s ones weapon, Zeus believes that Poseidon had asked Percy to steal it from him. At the sideline, Percy goes developing a small crush on Annabeth who goes with Percy on the quest along with Grover who is a satyr (half goat, half boy) #Percabeth. Zeus being the meanie is, says that by some solstice, if his bolt is not returned, then he will launch a war!
Naturally, because Percy's life is so messed up, there is only 5 more days to the solstice. So that is what the quest and the book is all about. Comment down below if you want me to explain the whole story in detail.
So guys, that is it for this post and I will surely c u soon!!
Singin' out!
Pratsie
