"percy?" annabeth asked. "are you okay?"
looking at her was disorienting. the "percy" part of me saw my usual awesome girlfriend. the "nekhbet" part of me saw a young woman surrounded by a powerful ultraviolet aura—the mark of a greek demigod. the sight filled me with disdain and fear. (for the record: i have my own healthy fear of annabeth. she has kicked my butt on more than one occasion. but disdain? not so much. that was all nekhbet.)
"a kiss in the sunset and the promise of a good bacon cheeseburger—with that kind of payoff, who needs immortality?"
she scanned my memories. i saw my own past from her dry, cynical point of view: i stood in the throne room of mount olympus after the war against the titans. zeus offered me a reward: godhood. i turned him down flat. i wanted justice for other demigods instead. i wanted the gods to stop being jerks and to pay attention to their kids.
a stupid request. a naive thing to wish for.
i gave up power. you never give up power.
i grumbled about the gods all the time, but i'd never regretted my decision to stay mortal.
i had a girlfriend.
i had a family.
i had my whole life ahead of me.
"annabeth rubbed the clay beads on her necklace, the way she does when she's thinking. she looked beautiful. but i digress."
"someday maybe i'd have a little girl who looked like annabeth and acted like me—a cute little hellion of a demigod, stomping through puddles and flattening monsters with magic camels."
annabeth exhaled with relief. "i am so glad to see you." she gave sadie a big hug.
carter and i looked at each other.
"hey, man," i said. "i'm not going to hug you."
Carter şapkayı taktı ve ortadan kayboldu. “Vay canına, tamam. Görünmezim, değil mi? "
Sadie alkışladı. “Hiç bu kadar iyi görünmemiştin, sevgili kardeşim.”
sadie hummed to herself, twirled like a little kid, and occasionally pulled random things out of her backpack: wax animal figurines, some string, a piece of chalk, a bright yellow bag of candy.
she reminded me of someone..
then it occurred to me. she looked like a younger version of annabeth but her fidgeting & hyperness reminded me of.. well, me. if annabeth and i ever had a daughter, she might be a lot like sadie.
whoa.
"annabeth knit her eyebrows. even with her blond hair plastered to the side of her face, she looked cute. her eyes were the same color as the storm clouds."
