Quotes from the son of sobek series#
All Myths Are True: Classical Mythology and Egyptian Mythology, thanks to the two series this work is a crossover with.Afterwards, the four agree to keep in contact in case anyone else tries to combine Greek and Egyptian magic. Together the four agree that the best way to fight Setne is to use his own strategy against him and mix their powers together. The four realize that Setne is trying to make the crown of Ptolemy and will soon try to take the goddess Nekhbet's crown the hedjet, to complete the crown of Ptolemy and consume her essence as well. Thankfully, the Kane siblings finally show up, forcing Setne to retreat. He does, however, consume Percy's sword Riptide and began to try and suck everything in. Setne, now done with the goddess, turns towards Percy and Annabeth to consume them too in order to grow in power, but thankfully fails. After summoning Wadjet, Setne took a selfie with her (much to the goddess' irritation) just before taking her crown and consuming her essence. However, their attack doesn't work, with Setne quickly defeating them with his magic and then summoning the goddess Wadjet. Unfortunately, the Kane siblings don't answer forcing the two demigods to attack Setne themselves. "The Crown of Ptolemy" (2015) starts off with Percy and Annabeth trying to summon Carter and by extension his sister Sadie with the hieroglyph he was given in "The Son of Sobek", to help them fight Setne. Unable to allow him to succeed, Annabeth and Sadie put a stop to him and his goals. Once inside they meet the risen god Serapis, who claims to be trying to recreate the old empire he was supreme god in and to drain the power of the other gods. The two are then forced to follow it towards a magical storm creating a lighthouse. Eventually the two come to the conclusion that the monsters are in fact the remains of a staff trying to fix itself, but unfortunately the part of the staff that they captured escapes. Unfortunately, the monster Annabeth was following escapes, but the two manage to capture the monster Sadie was fighting and introduce themselves and discuss what is happening. While following it, she figures out that the monster is made up of 3 pieces and is missing a part of itself, before she encounters Sadie fighting the third piece of the monster at the first Brooklyn stop, which looks like a black labrador retriever with the back end of a tadpole. Much to Annabeth's surprise, though, the monster doesn't attack her and boards the A train, leaving her to pursue it. It starts with Annabeth trying to catch the F train to Percy's place after having a rough day, or at least until she spots a weird looking monster, which looks like a lion and wolf stuck together and wedged into a hermit crab shell. "The Staff of Serapis" (2014) is the story in which Annabeth Chase meets Sadie Kane. At a diner afterwards, Percy and Carter give the rundown to each other, and Carter draws a hieroglyph on Percy's hand in case they need to contact each other again. Finding the monster in a cul-de-sac, the two fight against it and defeat it. While running towards the monsters the two introduce themselves to each other, and Carter reveals that the crocodile is a petsuchos a son of Sobek. Through a misunderstanding, the two get in a fight, which ends in a truce once they are reminded about the monster crocodile. Thankfully however, he is saved by Percy, but the monster escapes. The story starts with Carter revealing that he was eaten by a giant crocodile he was looking for, and an introduction. "The Son of Sobek" (2013) is the story in which Percy Jackson meets Carter Kane. During his The Sword of Summer book tour in 2015, Rick Riordan declared the completion of the short stories as their own book. These stories take place the summer after the end of The Kane Chronicles and The Heroes of Olympus series. The short stories are called "The Son of Sobek", "The Staff of Serapis" and "The Crown of Ptolemy". Demigods & Magicians is a collection of three short Crossover stories between The Camp Half-Blood Series and The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan.
