The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Annabeth,” he said hesitantly, “in New Rome, demigods can live their whole lives in peace.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z ‘You’d wipe out half the demigods in the world, half the gods’ legacy, to heal them? Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘Those three cohorts are in trouble! If they don’t merge with the rest of the demigods -’ ‘On it!’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z But, for all its impressive discipline, the Twelfth Legion looked pitifully small, a splotch of demigod valour in a sea of ravenous monsters. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “I’ve sailed these waters for centuries, waylaying any demigods foolish enough to explore the Mare Nostrum. This is 'my territory now. And all you have is mine.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The only absent demigod was Piper, who was taking her turn at the helm with Coach Hedge, their satyr chaperone. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z New demigods were popping up all over the place—not just in America, but in a lot of other countries as well. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “And now, off with you, demigods! Good sailing!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Mortals and demigods came here at their own risk. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Percy, there were only a few demigod warriors aboard that ship, and they all chose to batde for Kronos. Perhaps some heeded your warning and escaped. If they did not... they chose their path.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She thinks Annabeth is the most levelheaded demigod ever to hit eighth grade. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z “Bold talk,” Kelli said, “for two demigods lost in Tartarus. Lower your sword, Percy Jackson, and I’ll kill you quickly. Believe me, there are worse ways to die down here.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The evil demigod was gone - but he had made a lasting impression. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “The constellations are mostly demigods,” I point out. Challenger Deep 2015-04-15T00:00:00Z She gazed across the courtyard—past the panicked tourists and fighting demigods—to the edge of the battlements, where a large mortar pointed out to sea. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I cannot, demigod. I do not have a finger gun to win this game.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Besides, monsters could smell demigods—especially powerful ones like Percy, son of Poseidon. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Apparently somebody thought the children of Hades were vampires, not demigods. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z You couldn’t put two demigods in a fight and not have them wonder who was stronger. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Ha! Good one, child of Mars. I suppose you’re right. No point talking about it. Even if the demigods found that map in Charleston, they’d never make it to Rome alive!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I don’t want them fighting out of jealousy any more, or taking out their frustrations on demigods.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Not until we see this other demigod. Please.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Mostly they’d been covering uptown, where we didn’t have enough demigods. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She couldn’t be defeated by two demigods—at least not two demigods using force. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z And when demigods use cell phones, the signals agitate every monster within a hundred miles. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Now his consciousness was trapped inside a charred crispy husk of demigod roadkill. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The screams of demigods were silenced, and the earth moved on. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z He stood in a gas station parking lot, surrounded by black SUVs and Roman demigods. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z They stopped a few yards from the Argo II. The leader looked up and studied the demigods. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Michael moved in front of the machine, interposing himself between Octavian and the two Greek demigods. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Could be a problem for another generation of demigods,” I agreed. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z The problem was, there just weren’t that many demigods out there. The Titan's Curse 2007-05-11T00:00:00Z She didn’t want the demigods under her command to think she was controlling them, or that she’d become a leader because she had some special magic. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z While each demigod looked at it, Piper had a ridiculous memory of show-and-tell in elementary school. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The three demigods would never make it to the tunnel. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Because I attend a large public high school in a state where football is idolized and jocks are demigods, I've had my fair share of abuse. Geeks: How Two Lost Boys Rode the Internet Out of Idaho 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z The stuff was deadly to demigods as well as monsters. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Have you ever met a demigod like us before? A guy in a purple shirt, with marks on his arm—” “Hazel.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z The other demigods stared at their plates, except for Percy, who continued to enjoy his pizza. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The job of the seven demigods aboard the Argo II, Chiron reminded them, was to finish the quest and come back safely. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “It’s impossible. I’m the son of Hades, and even I barely survived. Gaea’s forces overwhelmed me instantly. They’re so powerful down there...no demigod would stand a chance. I almost went insane.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Everyone’s eyes were on me— all the gods, the demigods, the Cyclopes, the spirits. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She tried to look confident, though the scowling purple ghosts and the demigod skeletons at her feet made her want to turtle in her T-shirt and scream. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Most demigods had vivid nightmares about what was going on in the world. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Well, obviously, we need only one set of demigods alive,” Pasiphaë said. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The nearest onager was a hundred yards downhill, encircled in spiked trenches and guarded by a dozen demigods. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “I have no use for demigod boys—always so full of themselves, so brash and destructive.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z To his right, the flatlands of Berkeley and Oakland marched west—a vast checkerboard of neighborhoods, with several million people who probably did not want their morning interrupted by two monsters and a filthy demigod. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z ‘Actually,’ he said, ‘you’re not far off. Uncle Leo brought some toys for all you good little demigods.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The others were a little surprised when Piper came back on a pegasus with two unconscious demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Hazel looked again at each swirling gateway: a demigod war, the destruction of the Argo II, disaster for herself and her friends. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He’d heard that most human civil wars started as fights between Greek and Roman demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “The bigger the spell, the easier it is to resist. If you want to sleep millions of mortals, you’ve got to cast a very thin layer of magic. Sleeping demigods is much harder.” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “Forty demigods attract an awful lot of monsters. You really want us hanging out in your lobby?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “It was designed by Roman demigods,” Jason said. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Hercules, the most famous demigod of all time, and Percy didn’t get to meet him either. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It could heal the rift between Greek and Roman demigods. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The Mediterranean was too dangerous for demigods and their allies. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The eagles circled overhead, crying out as if to alert their brethren: Hey, some tasty Greek demigods over here! The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Until that morning, her brother Nico had been the most powerful demigod she knew. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Urvashi was, like, a heavenly nymph queen, and Hanuman, who was the son of the god of the wind, was a powerful demigod. Aru Shah and the End of Time 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z It felt important—not just for Annabeth and him, but for all the other demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I’m sorry, my girl. I’m not a demigod anymore. I don’t do quests.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He mediated between demigods, listened to all sides of an argument, found compromises. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Annabeth caught a few unkind words about female demigods and Athena. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Maybe he’d dropped this care package here years ago to help demigods like her with this quest. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z It happened almost every night, and every night more demigods straggled over the property line with the satyr guides, usually with some nasty monsters pursuing them, but almost all of them made it through. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z He imagined Gaea laughing at his weakness—a demigod too softhearted to kill monsters. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z She remembered all the times she, Luke, and Thalia had relied on highway rest stops when they were homeless demigods, trying to survive. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Would you still have the demigod Percy Jackson? The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “You must really hate demigods,” Hazel said, trying to mimic Pasiphaë’s cruel smile. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z It made Jason wonder about the fauns back at Camp Jupiter—whether they could be like that if the Roman demigods expected more from them. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Kronos couldn’t have risen if it hadn’t been for a lot of demigods who felt abandoned by their parents,” I said. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z The monkey demigod Hanuman materialized in his throne. Aru Shah and the End of Time 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z The three demigods stared up at the buildings <5f drizzly downtown Portland. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “This is amazing. In the old days, the children of Vulcan would come here in secret to consecrate demigod weapons. This is where Imperial gold was enchanted.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Circe was a wise and generous employer. I had room and board, a good health plan, dental, pet leopards, free potions—everything! And this demigod with his friend, the blonde—” “Annabeth.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “It must be like the Mark of Athena. I can only see it when I’m alone. It won’t show itself to other demigods.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z If Annabeth had been one of those demigods, where would she have put it? The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Even my demigod eyes couldn’t make out its exact form through the ash and fire, but it was vaguely humanoid and so huge it could’ve used the Chrysler Building as a baseball bat. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z ‘The Argo... back when I was a demigod, I sailed on the original ship, you know. Ah, to be a carefree adventurer again!’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “I was just wondering. So ... a satyr is always assigned to guard a demigod?” The Lightning Thief 2005-07-01T00:00:00Z With this demigod gig, you never knew what you’d run into. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Veteran demigods from the city had joined the battle, and were pushing their shield wall against an onslaught of wild centaurs. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z The three demigods were running through the woods. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Tartarus swallowed Titans and demigods and kittens indiscriminately. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Besides, her dad had taken a potion that had erased all of Piper’s demigod secrets from his memory. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Shrouded demigods, both Greek and Roman, were burned at the campfire, and Chiron asked Nico to oversee the burial rites. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z After all, that’s what being a demigod was all about—not quite belonging in the mortal world or on Mount Olympus, but trying to make peace with both sides of their nature. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Percy, traveling in the Mediterranean is a different level of danger altogether. It’s been off limits to Roman demigods for centuries. No hero in his right mind would go there.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The demigods scattered as the winged lady pig swooped down. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z Jason rose on the wind, but all around him monsters and demigods alike started to sink into the ground. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She’d met some of the other demigods who were fighting the Titans and their allies. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “July First, the Kalends of July, sacred to Juno. That’s when Mother wants to destroy those stupid demigods and really rub it in Juno’s face. Besides, I’m not paying overtime for those gladiator ghosts!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z They were the original dynamic duo: Gilgamesh the demigod warrior king, and Enkidu, the wild man with hair down to his knees and kin to the animals. City of the Plague God 2021-01-12T00:00:00Z Even though his memory was erased, he knew he was a demigod the same way he knew his name was Percy Jackson. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z The demigods backed toward the water, shouting insults about ballet—which was kind of a challenge, as Percy didn’t know much about it. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z She carried herself with such confidence the other demigods backed away and averted their gaze. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “My queen, these demigods—” The queen shot to her feet. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z I wondered how many other Olympians were thinking about their demigod children right now. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z You cant win, little demigod, she seemed to say. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z A dozen of Luke’s assorted goons—snake people, Laistrygonians, demigods in battle armor—had gathered to watch us get some “hospitality.” The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z Frank stumbled up behind them, which made the hallway pretty jam-packed with demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Yes, blow your little horns, demigods. Soon, the legacy of Rome will be destroyed for the last time!” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Just am. I’ve got a good instinct for what people can do—demigods, anyway. Hecate wouldn’t have picked you if she didn’t believe you had power.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He looked so much like a teenage demigod it was unnerving - no more than seventeen, wearing jeans and a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, with a bow over his shoulder and a sword at his belt. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z She remembered what the giantess Periboia had said in her dream: that the demigods would find friends in Athens as well as enemies. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z You could see it in the faces of the demigods and satyrs and naiads coming up the hill. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z But, after what happened with Bryce, the idea of cutting down another demigod in cold blood - even Octavian - didn’t sit well. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z If each of them carried a Roman demigod...that was a lot of enemies. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He imagined a bunch of demigods in dark robes trying to quietly roll a scorpion ballista through the front doors. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He’d thought his trip to Alaska had been pretty exotic, but now he was in the heart of the old Roman Empire, enemy territory for a Greek demigod. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “Well... most demigods are. Or dyslexic. Just being a demigod means that our brains are wired differently. Like you—you said you had trouble reading.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z With a final nod at Boo, the monkey demigod disappeared. Aru Shah and the End of Time 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z “You’re going to let Luke destroy our camp, kill hundreds of demigods, and then attack Olympus? You’re going to bring down the entire world so you can get what you want?” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z ‘Together, a goddess and a demigod can kill a giant.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z ‘The American Revolution. Most of the Colonial leaders were Greek demigods. The British generals were Roman demigods.’ Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z It bared its fangs at the group of demigods. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z She had no idea what it was doing here, but Hermes delivered all sorts of useful stuff to gods, spirits, and even demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “It has been millennia since I fought at the side of a demigod, but Hazel Levesque has proven herself worthy. What do you say, Clytius? Shall we play with fire?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Each boat was packed with demigods in full Greek armor. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z The air was acid, and demigods could be turned into smoky corpses. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Yes, my dear. I didn’t think such selflessness existed in mortals...especially in demigods. No offense.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z On the roof of Jason’s building stood his old comrades from Camp Jupiter: an array of demigods in combat armor, their Imperial gold weapons and shields glinting in the dark. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Did you, perhaps," he said "capture this demigod near the galley?” The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z “You’re not so different from me, demigod. Even when I’m out of the water, the water is within me. It is my life source.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “The demigods of Camp Half-Blood have already been working with Camp Jupiter,” Percy said. The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z The hardest part was afterwards, when Nico and the six demigods from the Argo II met on the porch of the Big House. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z If he freaked out on a regular playground with regular bullies, how would he act at a training camp for demigods? The Sea of Monsters 2006-04-01T00:00:00Z And if they succeeded, and turned themselves into the deathless demigods they’d always dreamed of becoming ... Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2011-06-07T00:00:00Z “Who puts a dining table on the beach where innocent demigods can crash into it? Who does that?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The demigods ran, tripping over stones, leaping over crumbled walls, dodging around columns and informational placards. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Exposed to too much heat or pressure, the stuff would explode with devastating impact, and of course it was deadly to demigods as well as monsters. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z "Mom," I said, “you know demigods and phones—” “I know,” she said. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z The demigod Cadmus had slain a dragon that happened to be a child of Ares. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z He’d spent enough time thinking he was a mistake—as a demigod, on this quest, in life in general. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Now you see why I never lose, demigod!” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z Even this old sea god must be smart enough to realize they were the demigods with the bounty on their heads. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z The creatures—maybe half a dozen, Annabeth guessed—had paused just on the other side of the boulder, but still they gave no indication that they’d caught the demigods’ scent. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Bob is different! But they can smell demigods, yes. You two smell very strong. Good strong. Like...hmm. Like buttery bread!” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I’m only going to say this once, demigods. Get back in the maze now. Before it’s too late.” The Battle of the Labyrinth 2008-05-06T00:00:00Z “What have the demigods given you? They have erased your old self, everything you were. Titans and giants...we are meant to be the foes of the gods and their children. Are we not?” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “I’m glad someone in your group is smart. The pinecone is a fearsome tool of destruction! I was a demigod myself in the first Giant War, you know. The son of Jupiter!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Reyna was one demigod who hadn’t seemed to change during the war with the giants ... at least not on the outside. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Come down from your schist, demigod. We must take you to our mistress’s army. They will reward us. They will kill you slowly!” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z ‘It’s deadly to demigods. It’s only a matter of time before ‘He’ll be all right,’ Piper insisted. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z The more Piper learned about being a demigod, the more convinced she was that Cherokee legends and Greek myths weren’t so different. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “If this begins the ancient prophecy, we don’t have resources to send an army to these Doors of Death and protect the camp. I can’t imagine even sparing seven demigods—” “First things first.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z Together, the giants picked up a fake mountain as big as Percy’s New York apartment and hurled it at the demigods. The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z I ran for the nearest stairs while all around me monsters and demigods shouted orders and strapped on their weapons. The Last Olympian 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z The blood of a female demigod, Gaea had said, and the blood of a male.

I’ll see you at feeding time!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z “I—I’m not sure. Are all Amazons demigods?” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “Help me kill the giant,” Percy said, “and this will all be over. A god and demigod working together—that’s the only way to kill him.” The Son of Neptune 2011-10-04T00:00:00Z “But we already have what we want from you, and we have other agreements to honor.

Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Unfortunately, that’s not the worst of it. I saw images of a possible future—the camp in flames, Roman and Greek demigods lying dead. And Gaea...” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The U-shape would soon be a complete rectangle, and the demigods had really taken to the new task with gusto.

The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “No, definitely Ares. Otrera lived long before Rome, in a time when all demigods were Greek. Unfortunately, some of our warriors still prefer the old ways.

This ship might conceal us somewhat, but not completely—not from them.” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z Zeus had destroyed an entire hotel to eliminate two demigod children—just to save his own skin, because he was scared of a prophecy.
