The Great Escape, or How to Ditch a Minotaur and Catch a Bus
Let's start with the obvious: they didn't exactly have a choice. One minute, Percy's chillin' at a boarding school that's basically a front for demigod training, and the next, a Minotaur is chasing him down the subway. Talk about a Monday morning surprise!
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
After a whirlwind adventure involving a magical sword, a talking tree, and a whole lot of running, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover find themselves in a less-than-glamorous bus station. Now, you might think they’d hop on a Pegasus or something, but nope. Demigods gotta be practical too. So, they buy bus tickets like normal people and pray they don't run into any Hydra-infested rest stops.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
The Lotus Casino: Where Time Stands Still and Your Wallet Empties Fast
Now, this is where things get really interesting. Somehow, the bus ends up taking a detour through the Lotus Casino. It's basically a magical dimension where you can eat, gamble, and party forever. Sounds great, right? Well, not if you have a quest to save the world.
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
After what felt like years (but was probably only a few hours), they managed to escape the clutches of the Lotus Eaters and back onto the bus. Talk about a serious case of FOMO.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

The Final Stretch: Ares and a Free Ride
Just when they think they're in the clear, they get a visit from Ares, the God of War. And no, he didn't come bearing flowers. He wanted a favor, and that favor involved retrieving his magical shield from a water park.
So, after battling mechanical minotaurs and a few other mythical creatures, they finally get their hands on the shield. And what does Ares do? Gives them a lift to LA in his fancy chariot, of course. Talk about a VIP experience.
And there you have it! Percy and his friends’ epic journey to the City of Angels. It wasn’t your typical road trip, that’s for sure.
