My anger swelled. I couldn’t believe I’d come this far…

“My anger swelled. I couldn’t believe I’d come this far, lost Tyson, suffered through so much, only to fail—stopped by a big stupid monster in a baby-blue tuxedo kilt. Nobody was going to swat down my friends like that! I mean . . . nobody, not Nobody. Ah, you know what I mean.” quote by Rick Riordan
