Passage:
"On the deck of the Argo II, Percy and Jason stood together, their swords crossed. Annabeth got a tingle down her spine as she realized the boys were working as one, summoning the sky and the sea to do their bidding. Water and wind churned together. waves heaved against the ramparts and lightning flashed. Giant eagles were knocked out of the sky. Wreckage of the flying chariot burned in the water, and Coach Hedge swung a mounted crossbow, taking potshots at the Roman birds as they flew overhead.

Comments and Response:
This scene depicts amazing imagery and it is one of my favorite scenes in the book. I can picture it perfectly as the two boys stand tall and have there swords held high in the air forming a cross with each other, as the sea and wind come together to form a storm. Being the strongest people in the group when the two of them worked together I had a mental though of "oh hell, y'all in big trouble now." It was right to think that too because the enemies got battered around like flies. On a side note this is how I want teen fiction to be depicting awesome quest stuff not all about romance.
