Their leader, a fierce-looking girl named Reyna, steps forward. If that wasn’t spectacular enough, the old lady Percy is carrying transforms into the goddess Juno and disappears, leaving him with a bunch of astonished Roman warriors. He summons giant hands of water that force the gorgons below the surface, where they disintegrate to dust. People on the far side of the river come running, but it’s Percy who saves the day. He’s partway through the river when the monsters get their talons into the baby-faced boy guard. With the guards taking potshots at the gorgons with arrows, Percy makes it through the tunnel. They yell at him to hurry because-oh, good, the gorgons are back. He scoops her up and charges toward the entrance, which is flanked by two Roman guards. If all he has to do to get his memory back is carry an old lady through a river, he’ll do it. Percy has no recollection of who he is and where he came from. She gives him a choice: carry me through the entrance and over the river on the other side and you’ll get your missing memory back, or leave me here knowing the world will end because you did so.Īs far as decisions go, it’s a no-brainer. But before he can reach it, an old hag calls to him. After days killing the same gorgons over and over, he spies the entrance to a place of safety. Percy Jackson knows how to make a dramatic entrance.
