Percy Jackson

My love for Greek Mythology is huge. Especially the 12 Greek Gods, among them are the big 3: Zeus, King of Gods. Poseidon, God of sea and Hades, God of Underworld. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are brothers. After the World War 2, the big three swore on their oath, to never have any children with the mortals. But Zeus and Poseidon broke it, Hades had 2 children before the oath, so he didn't break it. However, Hades is excluded in the 12 Greek Gods because he's the god of Underworld and he never visit Mount Olympus.
The other 8 gods were known as Hera, queen of gods, goddess of marriage, birth and women. Demeter, goddess of harvest and fertility of the earth. Athena, goddess of wisdom, warfare and divine intelligence. Dionysus, god of wine. Apollo, god of sun, music and poetry. Artemis, goddess of hunt and moon. Ares, god of war. Aphrodite, goddess of love. Hephaestus, god of fire. Hermes, messenger of gods, god of thieves. 
Zeus had a daughter, Thalia Grace, whilst Poseidon had a son, Percy Jackson.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE LIGHTNING THIEF - BOOK ONE
Percy Jackson had to go to Camp Half-Blood as soon as he got attacked by a Minotaur. Grover, his best friend, a satyr and his mum drove Percy to Camp Half-Blood. Percy discovered his ability and managed to kill the Minotaur and retrieved its horn.
 Soon after his very first game of capture-the-flag, and his encounter with his rival, Clarisse, daughter of Ares, he was claimed by his father, Poseidon, god of sea. He was set to go on a quest to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt along with Grover, the satyr and Annabeth, daughter of Athena.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE SEA OF MONSTER - BOOK TWO
Grover was missing. Grover contacted Percy through their telepathy link, he was held in captive by a Cyclop. Grover was captured by the cyclops while he was searching for Pan, god of wild and satyrs. And now Camp Half-Blood is under attack, Thalia's tree is dying. Luke poisoned the tree. Percy has to get the Golden Fleece in order to save Camp Half-Blood. Problem is, he wasn't assign on this quest. Clarisse was. Percy, Annabeth and Tyson, Percy's cyclop brother still went on the quest to save Grover. Grover was rescued and the camp was saved. The most shocking thing was that Thalia had come alive, she wasn't a tree anymore (she died and her father, Zeus, turned her into a tree to preserve her soul). The daughter of Zeus came alive once more.

PERCY JACKSON AND THE TITAN'S CURSE -BOOK THREE
Annabeth went missing, Artemis was chained up. And this time, 5 campers will rescue Artemis. Thalia, Grover, Percy and two Artemis's huntress, Zoe and Bianca. Bianca and Nico Di Angelo were the children of Hades but Bianca joined Artemis and the huntress. The Oracle predicted that not everyone will be safe. Bianca died sacrificing herself to defeat a monster. Zoe was killed by her own father, Atlas, the titan. Annabeth was captured by Luke and Artemis was supporting the weight of the sky. Luke was thrown over the edge of Mount Othrys. But he was still alive after the god's party upon the demigod's victory. 

PERCY JACKSON AND THE BATTLE OF LABYRINTH -BOOK FOUR
Luke wants revenge now. He and his army planned to invade Camp Half-blood via an ancient labyrinth created by Hephaestus. Percy, Grover, Annabeth and Tyson(Percy's cyclops brother) were set into the labyrinth to find Daedalus's workshop before Luke does. With the help of Briares, a.k.a. the Hundred-handed one cyclops and Hephaestus, God of fire and forges. Meanwhile, Grover was also on a quest to find the lost god, Pan. Pan spoke to Grover in the labyrinth, he asked Grover to tell the other satyrs that he is dead. The labyrinth had to be destroyed, and Daedalus is willing to die along with the labyrinth. Both of them are connected as one because Daedalus created the labyrinth. 

PERCY JACKSON AND THE LAST OLYMPIAN -BOOK FIVE 
THE FINAL BOOK OF PERCY JACKSON SERIES
Percy Jackson is turning sixteen and the fate of the whole world depends on him. Kronos (or Luke since he gave his body as a host to Kronos) is strong now and he is preparing for the final battle. And the awful Typhon is heading their way. The gods are busy batting with Typhon while camp half-blood prepares for Kronos. Problem is, they are only 40 campers against hundreds of enemies. Percy found out that Luke bathed in the River Styx, down in the Underworld. That is why Kronos was so strong. Percy ended up bathing in the River Styx as well, but before he bathed, he had to choose a weak spot on his body. He chose his lower back, one strike at that spot and he's dead. Everyone battled, Thalia and the hunters, even Clarisse and her cabin. The enemies were strong, but the campers were stronger. Percy and Annabeth was then faced to faced with Luke. He's soul is poisoned by Kronos. He told Percy that he must be perished in order for Kronos to die. Since Luke is in his body form. Percy handed Annebeth's blade to Luke and Luke stabbed himself in the weak spot, killing him and Kronos.
Back at Olympus, the heroes were rewarded. Percy got to talk to his dad and Athena. Though Athena warned Percy to stay away from her daughter, Annabeth. Percy and Annabeth were happy together and they went back to camp half-blood, awaiting their next quest.
