The Last Olympian
Percy Jackson is miraculously still alive, still alive fighting for a reason, fighting to save himself, fighting to save olympus.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and Percy planned a holiday with Rachel's parents, Percy knows that his 16th birthday is near and the last thing he wants to do is get his friends and family hurt. Charlie Beckendrof came over with black jack (Percy's peagasus) and informed that the time has come to sink princess andromeda where Luke, or Kronos (same person) and their clan is there. Percy succeeds destroying the ship, but fails saving Beckendrof's brave sacrifice.
Under the sea, in poseidon's palace, the water titan and poseidon is having a war, no where is safe.
Goes back to camp, they earned some time but not enough, the fall of beckendrof was a shock, the hephaestus' cabin leader.
The great battle is near, the Ares cabin is not helping after an argument between apollo cabin. The numbers are going down, the hunter's need help, the god's need help. Nico, Hades son then comes up with a clever plan.
A plan that involves following Luke's footsteps a plan that involves "about to die" process, a plan that involves bathing in the river styx, taking the curse of the achilles heel.
The pain burnt percy's skin, such powerful force urged to cut his life, a power that can be defeated by a powerful memory, (like a patronus in harry potter) a memory which Percy chose: Annabeth pulling Percy up the water. He was now invincible, only his small part of his back held his life.
Kronos has a spy, he knew that the ares cabin wasn't there, he sent out a Drakon which can only be slayed by the child of Ares.
Just in time, The Aresn cabin attacked, The position where Clarisse was supposed to be standing. Stood a thin girl in Clarisse's armour, she striked but no scars were made. Up in the chariot, there stood CLarisse, Who was the other girl?
Silena Beaugard The daughter of Aphrodite, dying "she was a spy for Kronos, She came back to save us all"
With Rage, Clarisse striked filled with the blessing of Ares, she single handed defeated the Drakon.
Up in olympus Hestia the goddess of Hearth: The last olympian.
Poseidon left his castle and helped the other gods defeat typhon, Hades came helping the demi gods. And Luke who was taken over by Kronos, Was the real hero, he killed himself, saving the others. Kronos was gone for now.

A 636 paged fantasy, It's thrilling, you can't predict of what will happen next. J.K Rowling has made another master-piece of the World of Hogwarts.
Harry wakes up from a nightmare- this starts the whole book with questions and excitement, this makes the reader lost- but this also makes the reader read more. Harry witness' the death of an old man. who harry has never witnessed- Frank Bryce. He also sees Wormtail in great horror. His scar pains, but this only happens when Voldemort is near, but how can he be alive- maybe he could be alive but weak, very weak.He then receives a pleasant news, his favourite sport- quidditch. The quidditch world cup is near, and his best friend Ron Weasley has invited him.
The excitement is all over the place, just as Harry imagined it would be. It's Bulgaria versus Ireland, Ireland reached there Victory. As everyone was celebrating, a dark mark is casted from an anonymous wand. Harry realizes just as he was fleeing like the others from this chaotic situation, that his wand is no longer in his pocket. There's fire everywhere and he sees Draco Malfoy, as cool as ever, resting by the tree, not showing any kind of fear. "There after muggles." he recalled. Ofcourse, Malfoy's dad was a death eater.
back at Hogwarts, they are introduced with a new defense the dark arts teacher. Alastor Moody, a.k.a Mad-eye moody. Not only that, the Triwizards tournament is stationed at Hogwarts. 3 17 year-old champions from 3 different wizard schools can enter. The 3 schools are Hogwarts with the headmaster: Albus Dumbledore, Durmstrang with the headmaster: Igor Karkaroff, Beauxbatons with the headmistress: Mme Olympe Maxime.
the goblet of fire will choose the most qualified member from the 3 schools, drawn by the age line, only 17 and above will enter. For those who puts their name down on the Goblet of fire will need to be aware of the dangers they will pass by.The 3 competitors are Cedric Diggory for the representative for Hogwarts. Viktor Krum for the representative of Durmstrang. Fleur Dealacour for the representative for Beauxbatons.And Harry Potter for Hogwarts. Harry didn't put his name down the goblet, he clearly knew that, but who would put his name down? As always, they believed Harry but also new the fact that everyone (even harry) is not able to resist the prize money. Harry as always who tried his best to avoid fame, was lost, angry, and scared.He realized that entering the competition might harm his life, he needed to find out the first task, and get ready. Hagrid has helped him with this situation, secretly bringing Harry into the deep woods, Harry witnessed the Dragons. The task was to pass the dragon which will be guarding the golden egg and obtain the golden egg for the 2nd task's clue. Of course, Harry passed on this information to Cedric. Professor Moody was quite fond of Harry, giving the key information to the task (the summoning charm) Harry was now ready. Although he was ready, Ron, who was his best friend refused to speak to him.So he only had Hermionie to help him practice the spell.e battled the hungarian horntail, summoning his broom, he won 2nd place. This was great.
Harry gained ron's trust and the best friends re-united.
He received the egg and when he tried to open it on land a terrible scream screeched the common room. Just like Harry helped Cedric on the first task, Cedric decided to help him. Harry opened the egg underwater and got the clue. Mermaids, Harry had to find his dearest ones (under water) and rescue them in an hour. But how? It was Dobby the house elf. At the last minute, dobby gave harry the gillyweed. Gillyweed was a type of plant which will provide the eater fish like adaptations, the eater will be able to breathe under water as well as gaining a web feet. The second task went on well, but Harry saw that Fleur was no where to be seen , Gabrielle (fleur's younger sister) was left alone, without anyone by the mermaids. Harry rescued both ron and Gabrielle then. This got him 2nd place.
The third task was a maze, he was told that he'll meet danger. But as he stepped into the dark maze- and touched the trophy with Cedric Diggory (to get in tied 1st place), they realised that the cup was a portkey. They ended up in a graveyard, the graveyard of Voldemort's father. Cedric was struck with the killing curse at once. Harry was alone- and he witnessed Voldemort coming back. He was forced to duel- as he dueled with Voldemort, 'Priori Intacantem' As Voldemort's and Harry's wand met, harry saw all the innocent people Voldemort has killed. Cedric, the old man, even his parents. They each spoke to him. Just as Harry's dad told him during this duel, Harry released the bond between Voldemort and him, summoned the portkey and brought Cedric's body back. He was safe. sobbing in sadness and pain, Harry refused to let go of Cedric's Body. Moody came over and forcefully brought Harry to his class, dazed- as moody locked the door and started to look for a potion, Harry told him everything. Moody asked: "Did the dark lord forgive the ones who betrayed him?" The bolted door flung open and dumbledore stood. Snape stepped forward and handed moody (who's face was changing) a potion. The man drank him and told the truth to everyone. He was a death eater, the real moody was hidden, The dark lord has returned.
