Hi :) So I figured not all of you may have seen Rick Riordan's tour. Someone took a video of it and put it on Youtube link
Rick Riordan reads part of Percy Jackson and The Singer of Apollo from an anthology called "Guys Read"

I tried my best with the easy ones but it didn't work out pretty well. Here's some lines (There's way more in the video)

I know what you're gonna think, what you're gonna ask. Percy Jackson, why are you hanging from the Time Square billboard without your pants on about to fall to your death? You can blame Apollo. God of Music, Archery, and Poetry. Also, the god of making...

I had a miserable day. It all started with waking up to my room being all packed up. My dad walked into my room. “Dad, why is all my stuff packed up?” I asked. “Get in the car; you’re going to Crest Water boarding school.” I walked into the foyer. Standing in it I saw my brother, Matthew, with red puffy eyes and tangled hair. Obviously he’d been crying. I went back to my room and grabbed my bags. We all trudged out to the car. The car was silent the whole hour drive to Crest Water. It broke when we pulled into the carpool lanes. “We’re here.” Dad stated quietly.
We started...

"A note for me?"

"Well it has your name on it." Hermes replies to my idiotic question. This time he was disguised as a secretary just doing his "business".

Of course Martha and George were with him.

Hey, have you ever heard of a rat, because I really like...

George would just shut up and stop bothering her, Martha pleaded.

But I'm hungry!, George complained.

"Would you guys please be quiet?!" Hermes asked while he looked down at his efficiant clip board. I couldn't help but to stare at his fancy outfit. And his striped tie and his leather shoes and his... ok I'm getting off topic.

"Here",...

“SHE’S WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!” yelled Nico.

“I said she’s a daughter of Kronos.”

“SHE’S A DAUGHTER OF WHAT?!?!?!?!”

“Kronos.”

“SAY WHAT?!?!?!?!”

“KRONOS YOU FREEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Oh ok sorry, took me a long time to get that through my head.”

“Now that I’ve told you my story, will you please leave?” said Katie.

“Not just yet.” Was I supposed to take Jesslin? Katie wouldn’t want us to. She said if she ever gave away Jesslin, she would die. Katie also said death was her greatest fear. But if Jesslin was put in the wrong hands, with her kind of power, something...

    Everyone in Camp knew about my quest by 4 a.m. I never managed to go back to bed. In the big house, Annabeth, Percy, Rachel, Nico, and I sat in the living room quiet.
“Well. I guess you’re gonna have to choose you goes with you on your quest,” Said Percy, breaking the silence.
“Well I’m gonna bring Nico, because the prophecy said the iris and the helmet would work together. And I’m the iris, and Niko’s the helmet. The iris is the symbol of my mom and the helmet is the sign of Hades. “
“Who else are you gonna take?” asked Rachel.
“I have a feeling I...

Hape you enjoy! :) Again, needs to be edited.

I Have a Dark Dream

When you’re a demigod, your dreams are really important. They send you messages about the past, present, future, and just important things you need to know. Tonight I had a horrible dream, three wonderful animals- an eagle, a horse, and a ram- were fighting in a huge, stormy beach. The eagle swooped down to try to pluck out the horses eyes, when the ram jumped in front of it and tried to kill them both. Suddenly, a huge wave of darkness came over them and the dream went black. The scariest thing about the dream was I knew...
