So, most of you have read the first chapter, and have a few tanong about it.And some things in there I don't quit get.
First off. Why was Percy alone? I find that a bit unfair. Look at Jason! He had friends(who he never knew)and was escorted safelly to camp(minus the falling in the lake). And what does Percy have? NOTHING! He woke up, and I repeat,in the courtyard of a burned out mansion in the middle of the woods. He was barefoot, freezing and confused, when Lupa decided to ipakita up. Yes, she told him where to go and what to do, but besides that? No help.It's a good enough thing he had Riptide!And what's with this whole traveling to camp thing?Not only does he wake up alone, but having to walk all the way there.It's been taking him TWO MONTHS. Where is this mansion supposed to be at.Is it the lobo House?If it is, then did he appear there after Jason, Piper, and Leo did? If so, where was he before?
Memory: We all know Percy Nawawala his memory. But there are a few things that stayed. One, he knows Riptide. Or just remembers it enough to know how to use it. Plus, it not like he won't have his sword. He can never lose it.Another thing is his name.Percy's going to wake up alone, why not know his name.Which brings me to another thing. If Chiron knows Jason, will Lupa know Percy. She must if she knows his godly parent.Then the thing we were all hoping for. Annabeth. To tell the truth, my puso was beating out of my chest when I read that. Was Hera in a good mood? Who knows. Her doesn't like Annabeth, and since Percy is dating her, I figured she would leave Annabeth out. Percy may not know her completle, but least he knows her name.
The thing that really gets to me is the cover. Based on the picture, it looks like Antarctica. But that doesn't make any sense. I can't think of any other place that looks like.And those buildings in the background, they look greek to me. So where could he possibly be? And is it just me, or are those people falling down the cliff. If you look closly, they look like little figures with arms. Some say their pieces of the buildings, but they just don't look like that.
Now, some think the person on the cover is Jason, sinse he is holding a staff with what looks like a eagle on it, and is wet. But this is the sSon of Neptune we are talking about! If the book is mainly on Percy, why have Jason on the cover. He has blond hair, and even though the hair color gets darker when wet(trust me, I have blond hair), doesn't seem a bit toodark. And maybe the water is falling off of him, since he doesn't have to get wet.
While anyone understand these? Maybe, maybe not. But hopefully all tanong will be answered wheen the book comes out.
