A few rules to live by :)

When Things Get Better Than Normal. :')

The beautiful sights make me smile, the beautiful things in life make me happy. Those stupid jokes make me laugh and those stupid memories, they make me cry (because I laugh that much, of course.).

Well, a few days back, my life got back to normal, things fell into place. There were a few twists and turns and now, I've been taken to a world that is beyond amazing. Things here, are better than normal. What goes around, comes around. After every storm, comes a rainbow. Who ever knew that all these sayings are true? Who ever knew that true happiness actually did exist, even though temporary. But it is the sad things that make us realize the value of the small but priceless happy times, isn't it?

Well, here's to the significance of ups and downs in life :) 

Again.

Hands over my head thinking, 'What else could go wrong?'

Would've stayed in bed, how can a day be so long?

Never believed that things happen for a reason

But how this turned out, removed all my doubts,

So

 That for you I'll do it all over again,

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you,

So I'd do it all over again, for you.

I missed the first train, stood out in the rain, all day

(Little did I know) When I caught the next train,
There you were to sweep me away,

Guess that's what I've waited for.

Never believed that things happened for a reason

But how this turned out, removed all my doubts, 

So

 That for you I'll do it all over again,

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you,

So I'd do it all over again.

Oh, who ever thought a day gone so wrong,
Would turn out so lovely?

I'm so glad I found you

Even though the day went so wrong,
I wouldn't change a thing,

I'd do it all over again

Do it all over again

All I went through, led me to you

So I'd do it all over again

I'd do it all over again 

Do it all over again 

All I went through, led me to you 

So I'd do it all over again.

Who ever thought a day gone so wrong, could turn out so lovely?

Who ever thought a day gone so wrong, could turn out so lovely?

The Mark Of Athena.

So in the previous book, The Son of Neptune, Percy with a forced amnesia (by Hera, of course), found himself in a new place. He found himself in Camp Jupiter. He was among Roman Demigods and was soon sent on a quest with Hazel Levesque (daughter of Pluto) and Frank Zhang (son of Mars) to help defend themselves from the Earth Goddess, Gaea, and her vicious forces.

In the next book, 'The Mark Of Athena', Percy gets his memory back and gets reunited with his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase.
'The Prophecy of the Seven' quest begins in this book and the chosen seven- Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena), Jason Grace (son of Jupiter), Piper McLean (daughter of Aphrodite), Hazel Levesque (daughter of Pluto), Frank Zhang (son of Mars), and Leo Valdez (son of Hephaestus) begin their quest. They have to rescue Hazel's brother, Nico from the Giants, find the Doors of Death, fight a lot of monsters and bring the Romans and Greeks together to defeat Gaea and her minions. Annabeth here, has been assigned with her own personal quest, to find out about the legend of the Mark of Athena and follow where it leads to. A significant part of the story takes place on Argo II, a ship designed by Leo Valdez.
Out of the seven, six of the demigods are in relationships with each other (Percy-Annabeth, Jason-Piper and Frank-Hazel) which gives this story a touch of drama, but I'm thankful it isn't overdone.
Even Tyson, Percy's half-brother and Ella, a red harpy, though an unusual couple are said to be in love with each other though they aren't a significant part of the book.

The story unwinds slowly, leaving the reader in a thirst to know what is going to happen next.
Well, I was reading the book till two hours past midnight and was so anxious to know what happened next. I just couldn't stop. And the end, MY GOD, THE END. I just couldn't stop after that too! I just had to think of what was going to happen next. I guess all the information I've given you is just enough. If you haven't read the book till now, PICK IT UP RIGHT NOW, AND READ IT.

P.S. You may not understand the book unless you've read all the books in the 'Percy Jackson' and 'Heroes of the Olympus' series, so I suggest you read those awesome books too!
