The Blood of Olympus Chapter XLIV Summary

How It All Goes Down

Piper

  • Fighting, fighting, and more fighting.
  • It's all going well…until it's not.
  • Piper and her friends tire, and the tide of battle turns against them.
  • Percy's nose is bleeding and everyone freezes as one drop falls from his face onto the ground.
  • The earth groans "as the Earth Mother woke" (44.35). Way to go Percy. You shoulda stuck some bacon up there.
