The Lightning Thief ending

***Book Ending Spoilers***

Percy and his friends travel to the entrance of the underworld. There they meet a man at the podium. He inquires how they died, but they are soon discovered to be lying. Charon is bought however by the large amount of gold drachma they possess. He allows them to come onto the boat. As he leaves, the lobby and leads them to the boat, his appearance changes.  The somewhat pleasant figure that stood before them is now a figure whose appearance is dreadful. Black robes, a transparent face, and eyes filled with darkness. 

The boat travels, through the underworld and they see the spirits of the deceased. River Styx is polluted, a dark black and lifeless river with items in it.  Soon they depart from the barge and reach their next challenge. Cerberus the three headed hellhound, soon sniffs at them. He begins to growl, but Annabeth is able to distract him. She throws him a ball, which he chews on allowing them to pass through the line undetected.  They walk through the Fields of Asphodel, in which Grover is almost sucked into the pit of Tartarus.  The furies are overhead, watching the lines as Percy becomes ever anxious to leave. 

The approach the palace of Hades, a dark and ominous structure.  Once there they see the dead soldiers from all different time periods. All of them are guarding the entrance to the palace.  They are given permission to enter. Inside stands Hades, Lord of the Dead.  He is none too pleased to see them, and accuses Percy of being a thief. He reveals that his weapon the Helm of Darkness is missing in addition to the lightning bolt of Zeus. Hades becomes angry as Percy denies his involvement in the theft of those objects. Hades instructs him, to look in his backpack, inside lies the weapon of Zeus. He gives them an ultimatum return his property and the bolt and he will set them free, with Percy’s mother as well.

With only three pearls, they decide they will come back for his mom. Now Percy knows who tricked him, and is determined to confront him. They are brought to shore, as their adversary arrives. Ares the charlatan is waiting for them. He is not satisfied to see Percy still alive. There he reveals the plan to start the civil war among the gods. He takes out the helm, and quickly returns it. Percy is able to deduce that another more sinister force was responsible for formulating the plan to send the bolt to the Underworld.  Percy challenges Ares to combat, at first he denies him, but he accepts. Percy and Ares duel, resulting in the police showing up and a crowd gathering to watch the spectacle. 

Ares doesn’t anticipate a strike, in which Percy is able to wound his heel. The god is wounded and bleeding golden ichor. He warns Percy of his curse in battle, before transforming to his true form. The furies arrive, and he turns over the helm. Percy begins to realize what is in the pit.  The news report comes out, entirely different from the events that occurred. In this version Ares is a lunatic, who abducts them, and Percy is the victim who fights him off. They are able to get tickets to a flight in New York. Percy and his two faithful friends separate as Percy goes to Mount Olympus. He enters the lobby of the Empire State Building. There he is given a key card, a red button appears and he is on his way to his appointment with destiny. 

Mount Olympus is a marvel, to Percy. Percy is amazed at how large, Olympus really is and begins to pity the god of the Underworld. Percy walks into the throne room; there he sees twelve large thrones. Zeus sits atop his platinum throne, as Percy begins to feel small and lesser, in the presence of such beings. Next to him, was the undoubtedly, the brother of Zeus. His throne was very different; Percy approaches the throne and addresses his father.  Percy tells the entire story to Zeus; after he is done he tells them he believes another force was influencing Ares. Zeus as an act of gratitude spares Percy. Poseidon his father tells him exactly what lurks in the pit. Kronos the Titan Lord was cut up into a thousand pieces and cast off into the pit of Tartarus. Percy is convinced however, that he is beginning to rise once more.  Poseidon tells him that when he returns home, he will have a package waiting.  Percy returns home, and is happy to be done with the ordeal. Once home, he tells his mother the entire story. Gabe his stepfather strikes his mom, and in that instant he starts to loathe him even more. As they leave and head to Percy’s rooms the package, is sitting on his bed.

He realizes without opening it, what it contains. He offers his mother the chance to get rid of Gabe for good. She refuses, and Percy leaves for Camp Half-Blood. A feast is held in their honor for returning from their quest. They have the admiration of mostly all the camp, with the exception of the Ares cabin. Percy receives a letter one week later. Gabe, had disappeared mysteriously, and his mother had sold a life like sculpture to an art gallery. Grover leaves in July to begin his expedition for Pan the nature god.  Overhead as they say their goodbye’s fireworks explode commemorating the Fourth of July. July disappears as summer begins to leave.  Percy is satisfied with the work he has done, completing the quest and returning the stolen objects. Yet he still feels tense and not at ease.

The last night of summer has come, and the campers gather around. They celebrate Percy, for completing the quest and he receives a bead for his first year. A letter arrives the next day informing Percy that he must make his decision on whether or not he will stay or go to live with his mother.  The campgrounds have become deserted as campers prepare to leave or to stay and clean their cabins.  He sees Luke practicing on dummies and is in awe at his skill. Luke convinces Percy to come with him into the woods. He seems flustered as he begins to speak. There he tells him he is leaving the camp. He summons a scorpion and warns him not to reach for his weapon. Percy finally realizes what the last line of the prophecy meant.  

Luke is a traitor; he buys time by beginning to hold conversation with him.  He reveals that he has hid a hate for the gods, and is angry for what they did. Luke tells Percy that it was him that stole the lightning bolt, and the helm. Ares was influenced by him and let him go. Punished by Kronos for his failure, he bide his time until Percy arrived. Summoning the hellhound he made it appear as if the camp was unsafe. Luke leaves Percy and the scorpion lunges. He kills it but the damage has been done. He has been stung and soon fall unconscious, he is lucky enough however that two nymphs bring him to safety. 

Percy awakes, alive and well. He tells Chiron and Annabeth of Luke’s betrayal and his devious plans to destroy the gods.  Annabeth tells Percy that she will not be staying the year at the camp, instead at her dads over the year. Percy looks over the Long Island Sound, for the last time before he departs.  He has made his decision and hopes it is the right one, but only time will tell as he prepares to leave the camp.

The Titans Curse ending

***Book Spoilers***

Percy and his friends reached to Mt Tamalpais to liberate Annabeth and Artemis. While driving to the mountain they see the Princess Andromeda, their nemesis Luke’s ship. Percy, Thalia and Zoë reach the peak of the mountain. There they see Atlas where Zoë reveals that the titan is in fact related to her and is her father. 




Annabeth and Artemis have taken the burden of holding the sky. Luke appears and tries to sway his former friend Thalia to his side, recalling their memories together and how he and she can still be friends if she sacrifices the Ophiataurus. 


Thalia refuses, lunging ferociously at her former buddy.  While she is locked in combat, Percy takes on a much stronger and powerful opponent the titan himself Atlas. He attacks first and with that the titan can now draw his full force to kill the demigod. 


Zoë is damaging her father from afar using arrows, while Percy keeps him busy fighting him with his sword, dodging his javelin to avoid being killed. Knowing he can’t defeat him, he decides to carry the weight of the sky. 


Artemis comes from under and brings the fight to Atlas, fairing much better than the son of Poseidon. Her agility is matched to Atlas’s brute force. She gracefully dodges his javelin but she is swept under and his javelin is directly above her waiting to strike and execute the goddess. 


Zoë intervenes and saves the life of her. Atlas hits her and sends her flying. Artemis sees the opportunity and forces back under the burden of the sky.  The goddess goes looking for her lieutenant, as Thalia has overcome her enemy Luke. With Luke on the edge grasping the cliff, he reaches for his spear. Thalia kicks him off and he goes falling down into the rocks. 


The attention quickly changes to Zoë, as the hunter is critically wounded. The army waiting below watches as their master falls, and are now enraged. They begin to advance and the heroes see no way out. With the prospect of their deaths looming in the forefront, they prepare for a fight. 


Dr. Chase swoops down and cuts down the minions of Luke. The surprise doesn’t last very long, as they start to recover and retaliate at this bold action. A chariot summoned by Artemis comes and they load the wounded Zoë aboard with the heroes as well.  


Annabeth’s father escorts them safely to the airfield, as they lay Zoë on the floor. She cannot be helped and dies. The body disappears and silver dust flies up and takes the form of a girl with a bow, Zoë.  Blackjack and his comrade pegasi Guido and Porkpie arrive. 


Percy orders to take them to Mt. Olympus. They set them off and fly away. The trio enters the throne room where Grover is giving his report to the King of the Gods. Upon seeing them, he runs over and hugs them. Artemis tells them the Gods know what they accomplished and are taking action. 


Hermes starts a vote deciding the fate of the demigods to which the majority accepts. Content with the decision, they move on to the fate of the Ophiataurus, the creature that could bring the end to the reign of the gods if Thalia or Percy sacrificed the entrails. 


Most agree to dispose of the creature, until Percy steps in and convinces his father that it's inhumane and wrong. Poseidon tells his brother he could protect under the sea. Zeus is unhappy with his brothers reasoning, which they ultimately decide to build a tank for the creature on Olympus.  


Artemis then makes an offer to the daughter of Zeus, saying if she would be her lieutenant and join her as a hunter. She accepts and with that becomes immortal and 15 forever unable to destroy the gods. A party is held in their honor. 


During the party, Percy speaks to his father. Athena disapproves of his relationship with her daughter Annabeth. Percy Iris messages his mother, but sees a man. After the man leaves the room, he asks if she is happy. His mom says yes. Percy is content, and then he ends the message. 


Percy and Annabeth are now back at the camp. They assemble in the Great House along with others.  Percy informs Annabeth that Luke somehow still lives even after the fall.  Nico enters and inquires the whereabouts of his sister. 


Percy goes on a walk with Nico, giving him the bad news. He tells him that his sister Bianca gave her life to save them and the quest. Nico is infuriated, angry and bitter at Percy because he promised to keep Bianca safe.  


As Percy tries to comfort him, skeletons appear from a rupture in the ground. Percy tries to defend the demigod, but there are too many. Nico yells and the skeletons recede into the ground. He runs off into the woods and out of sight. 


Percy grabs the statue and examines it. It is Hades - the god of underworld.  He realizes that Nico is son of Hades. He tells Annabeth. She tells him to keep it a secret, as this could heat up tensions. Grover runs out of the Great House and tells them he must leave immediately. He says that Pan contacted him. The book ends on that note.
