So, remember the first swordfighting lesson, where Luke was using him as an example, and Percy was getting pulverized? Well, let me tell you: at this point in the book, Rick Riordan pulled a J.K. Rowling.
When they were taking a break, Luke poured some water on his head. Percy thought that looked like an excellent idea so he did too. Suddenly he felt a ton of energy and he was ready to get started again.
Do you realize what just happened?! Want to know what we find out later? We find out that Percy is a son of Poseidon, the god of the sea! Percy poured water on his head and he felt better! Ahh! We find out later in the books that water can heal him and give him strength. But at this point we had no idea who Percy's parent was! He was foreshadowing, half of us didn't even know it the first time or the only time we read it! It was one of those that's harder to catch! This might be one of the reasons that Percy Jackson is placed next to Harry Potter as one of the most loved fandoms. Percy Jackson is so good, there's just no denying it.
