    “Very slowly using two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.

    Octavian made a squeaking sound. "What was that for? I didn't say toss it! That could've been evidence. Or spoils of war!"

    Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.

    "You other two..." He pointed his blade a Hazel and Piper. "Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus--"

    All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.

    "You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”

    “It's okay,” he said. “We're together.” He didn't say you're okay, or we're alive. After all they'd been through over the last year, he knew that the most important thing was that they were together. She loved him for saying that.”

    Rick Riordan
    “Percy, let me go" she croaked. "You can't pull me up."
    His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless.
    "Never," he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above.
    "The other side, Nico! We'll see you there. Understand?"
    Nico's eyes widened. "But-"
    "Lead them!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!"
    "I-I will."
    Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess.
    Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth's wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never looked more handsome.
    "We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."
    Only then did she understand what would happen. A one-way trip. A very hard fall.
    "As long as we're together," she said.
    She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw sunlight far, far above- maybe the last sunlight she would ever see.
    Then Percy let go of his ledge, and together, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.”
    Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

    He pushed the statue over and turned back to Percy.

    "Yeah. I've been here before. I...I don't know. I think I was looking for my girlfriend."

    “Will they cower?' Kym asked.

    'Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure.'

    “Right before the game, she strolled up to me. "Hey, Seaweed Brain."
    "Will you stop calling me that?"
    She knows I hate that name, mostly because I never have a good comeback. She's the daughter of Athena, which doesn't give me a lot of ammunition. I mean, "Owl-head" and "Wise Girl" are kind of lame insults.”
