"a kiss in the sunset and the promise of a good bacon cheeseburger—with that kind of payoff, who needs immortality?"
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.
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.
"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.)
"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."
