”You got through it,” she noted. “You always do.”

”I guess…but it was like all my progress, all those years of getting older and learning how to survive…Hebe took it away with a snap of her fingers. I was a helpless little kid again.”

”You are a lot of things, Percy. But helpless isn’t one of them.” She put her hand on my shoulder. “When you were little…whenever you got scared, you might back away for a second, but then you would march right up to whatever was scaring you. You’d stare it down until it went away, or until you understood it. Thinking about you as a toddler makes me feel…”

“Sick to your stomach?”

She laughed. “It makes me feel hopeful. You’re still moving forward. You’ve grown into a fine young man, and I’m proud of you.”

The lump in my throat was the size of a kiwi fruit.

”It’s also okay to doubt yourself,” my mom added. “That’s completely normal.”

“Even for demigods?”

”Especially for them.” She pulled me over to her and kissed my head, like she used to do when I was actually eight.
