"Annabeth, syukurlah, akan tinggal di New York. Dia mendapat izin dari orang tuanya untuk menghadiri sekolah asrama di kota sehingga dia bisa dekat dengan Olympus dan mengawasi upaya pembangunan kembali. "Dan dekat denganku?" Saya bertanya. "Yah, seseorang punya arti besar tentang kepentingannya sendiri." Tapi dia menjalin jari-jarinya di jari saya. Aku ingat apa yang dia katakan padaku di New York, tentang membangun sesuatu yang permanen, dan kupikir — mungkin saja — kami memulai awal yang baik."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Annabeth, thank goodness, would be staying in New York. She'd gotten permission from her parents to attend a boarding school in the city so she could be close to Olympus and oversee the rebuilding efforts. "And close to me?" I asked. "Well, someone's got a big sense of his own importance." But she laced her fingers through mine. I remembered what she'd told me in New York, about building something permanent, and I thought—just maybe—we were off to a good start.
