                              "The Journey starts Now "  



   This book is  just  still full of mysteries and every time just gets better and better .Since Thalia’stree got poisoned and borders were failing the camp wasn’t very safe as it used to  . Campers had to be alert all the time making protection turns , day and specially night . But they tried to act as normal as possible .  Chiron , the activities director had been fired  by the because of the incident and so was replaced by a mean guy named Tantalus . But there was another shocking thing too that Percy hadn’t found  , Tyson was a Cyclops . Tyson was the only Cyclops at the camp , no one knew  what god was his father or mother which means he is undetermined and is staying at the Hermes cabin which gives hospitality to the undetermined. But one  day at the camp Tyson was near the lake and a huge wave was behind him in shape of a trident as a sign that Poseidon is claiming him as his son . Percy and Tyson were now relatives.     To  distract the campers from the recent event Tantalus decided to do a chariot race which was a dangerous Greek sport  that consists on persons on a chariot , one driver and on fighter all pulled by a horse around a determined circuit. The race ended up being a catastrophe because insane amount of wild pigeons attacked the campers even racers , but Anabeth and Percy defeated the with loud noises.    After that Percy and Anabeth were talking they figured out how to save the camp , the golden fleece .  Its an object made by gods that can fix anything which could cure Thalia .  Percy and Anabeth offered themselves as tributes to go on a quest to search the golden fleece and bring it to the camp , but Tantalus denied their offer and instead sended  Clarrisse daughter of Ares and winner of the chariot race . Percy and Annabeth knew this would go wrong and is why they escaped from the camp to save it . The beginning of a new journey to save camp Half Blood .



QUOTES
“Keep him safe. The prophecy - remember it !” Its what said Chiron to Anabeth just before leaving the camp. After reading this quote it kind of confused me and so I made an inference with the last book read to help me understand it.  The character said “Keep him safe. The prophecy - remember it !” and I already know that in the last book all of the oracles prophecies always   became true so I think that maybe for some reason Percy is in grave danger and has to be protected for his own good , being alive , something big is about to happen . This second quote also  confused when I read it but then I remembered and made an inference that made sense. “Eventually” , muttered Tantalus , staring at Dionysus’s  Diet Coke , “Do have any idea of how dry one’s  throat  gets after three thousand years ?”  .   The character Tantalus said, “Eventually” , muttered Tantalus , staring at Dionysus’s  Diet Coke , “Do have any idea of how dry one’s  throat  gets after three thousand years ?” and I already know that there is a Greek myth of  a man in the fields of punishment that stands in a lake with a fruit tree hanging over him but can’t eat or drink at all so I think Tantalus is that man that now has a new punishment  and that is being the camp’s director just like Dionysus punishment .

CONCLUSION
In conclusion , I think that its going to be very interesting the fact that 2 teams are going on the quest to save the camp .I’m wondering who will come back first or if they will all survive or maybe one team gets trapped  while the other succeeds . I can’t wait any   longer to keep finding  other shocking mysteries and how the story goes .
