Not all powers are spectacular. Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding.

Do you believe me?

I warned the other one not to follow my path. Now I will warn you.

Do not do this. It will make you powerful. But it will also make you weak.

Your prowess in combat will be beyond any mortal, but your weaknesses, your failings will increase as well.

Because Hope survives best at the hearth. Guard it for me, and I won't be tempted to give up again.

I thought you were a bad father. I thought you abandoned Luke because you knew his future and didn't do anything to stop it...

But you knew more than just the bad stuff - that he'd turn evil. You understood what he would do in the end.

You knew he'd make the right choice. But you couldn't tell him, could you?

No one can tamper with fate, Percy, not even a god. If I had warned him what was to come, or tried to influence his choices, I wouldn't made things even worse.

Staying silent, staying away from him... That was the hardest thing I've ever done.

You had to let him find his own path, and his part in saving Olympus.
