you know the drill, space/tap Next: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/802551246 Previous: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/693267743/ First: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/504689987/ So this is 7.5 because I decided to cut chapter 7 in half, both because it went way longer than I though and so I could get it out earlier. But I don't think it's actually any shorter than an average chapter. Edit: **ERROR** Zara is a silly little muffin and this chapter is supposed to be 7. The next one will be 7.5. Footnotes: *Me too, Keefe. Me too. I like dialogue. **at this point Percy has been kidnapped and captured and had other encounters with villains that he's just done Percy is such a muffin and I adore him. Couple things on that note - (a) it's been a loong time since I read PJO so he's probably a bit out of character - but he's also two or three years older now than he was in canon, and he's grown. (also I'm ignoring ToA.) That said, if there's anything in particular here that seems out of character, do let me know. (b) he's a lot smarter than fandom gives him credit for! (c) ...actually this is probably its own bullet point but I have a headcanon that he becomes The Older Brother™ at camp and helps out new campers and stuff and is surprisingly good at advice (with his fellow Older Sibling Annabeth of course). Anyway the Keeper gang is in dire need of an Older Brother™ and he's gonna be that. I didn't really like Stellarlune, I think my standards have been raised too much so I'm not a fan of the writing anymore, but Ro was awesome and Hope was awesome too. Anyway I told myself I could write a better book 9 so this is now my attempt at that. (oh wait does that mean I have to write the whole thing in less than a year -) oh yeah, and Isle of Ryth can be found here: @--ChildOfLlumenn-- I highly recommend it. As always, I would LOVE feedback of any sort, from 'hey there's a typo' to 'too much description' to 'I'm confused' to 'nice LotR reference' Next up: Lady Gisela makes her appearance. (so does Blackjack (sort of)) If you've come this far through my ramblings, you deserve a butterblast! *hands you virtual butterblast* I like talking. But only online because PeOpLe ArE sCaRy
