through the mist, a mystical object in the air that made god-like stuff look normal. So Percy drew his sword, Riptide, she could actually see the celestial bronze. That attracted a whole squadron of armed monster. Since everyone was either a human or demigod, they were all vulnerable to bullets. They ran to the center of the dam where there were many statues of babies with wings. As the skeletons were closing in, Percy used his quick thinking to remeber that if Thalia, Zeus daughter, prayed to…

Casting a silencing spell mid battle was the riskiest thing I could have done during the peak of the Exalted War. Though this was the only unwavering chance I had at having the upper hand against the throne’s demigod challenger, Sahli; the destroyer of man and conqueror of southern lands. “You think that my father’s wizardry will work?” before tauntingly adding, “…against me, Evelyn?” Mockingly I smirked; instead focusing my life-force on just that. Meditatively I raised my hands to my chest,…

Special snowflake Bruh was a demigod child of a goddess named Hecate and a mortal dude named Charlie. Since Bruh was the child of the magic goddess he could like do the magic thing well and thought was a special snowflake, and Bruh was very prideful and often a jerk because no one liked Bruh.

supernatural side of the story is split up with different methods in both books. In Percy Jackson “the mist” is used to trick humans to “wrap their mind around things and fit them into their own vision of reality”. Instead of seeing a battle between two demigods they will see what ever makes sense to them. This could be two kids fighting with fake swords.
