The Lost Chapter of The Lightning Thief

Image
Some of you may have read it, some of you may not. So I’m just going to post this. This is a scene that supposed to be a part of Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief but he said that it would be better if this scene was deleted and I can't understand why.  Personally I do think this scene is very interesting. Really, I don’t know why he’d deleted it. But enough for the talk. Enjoy! When everybody had returned to their seats and finished eating their meals, Chiron pounded his hoof again for our attention. Mr. D got up with a huge sigh. "Yes, I suppose I'd better say hello to all you brats. Well, hello. Our activities director Chiron says the next capture-the-flag is Friday. Cabin Five presently holds the laurels." A bunch of ugly cheering rose from the Ares table. "Personally," Mr. D continued, "I could care less, but congratulations. Also, I should tell you that we have a new camper today. Peter Johnson." Chiron murmured somet...

Waiting for The Mark of Athena

Image
October 2nd, the date of The Mark of Athena published.  But not in Indonesia.  I still have to wait for weeks until I get the book in my hand. Not the translated version, no. the English version. But still I have to wait for  weeks ! Oh, God, this is killing me.  But fortunately I've found some sneak peek that -makes me more anxious about the book, yes, but also washed a bit of thirst of Rick Riordan's stories- maybe you want to see. If you're as anxious as I am. But I warn you, this could caused a heart attack.  Don't say I didn't warn you. You can go to Barnes & Noble to read the sneak peek. They are so kind to let anxious helpless readers from faraway land to read the 1st, 2nd, and... the 3rd chapter.  What? You don't believe what I say?  Follow this link and washed your thirst! :)  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/9781423140603

The Daughter of the Sun, Vala Velreya

Hello, readers!   It's been quite a long time since my last post. So, here we go. I will introduce you to a demigod. A daughter of Apollo with the gift of the sun.   Her name, is Vala Velreya.   Full name Vala Gwirith Velreya. A daughter of Kenna Velreya and Apollo. Born June 21st. (I'm not telling the year because I'm not sure my self). She used to have a twin sister named Zala, but she died when they were 11. She was killed by a sea-dragon named Zounero.   Kenna Velreya, Vala's mother had also died. She was killed by an unknown monster when Vala and Zala were only 7. The day Kenna and Zala Velreya died was both rainy. So Vala never like a rain, and she has astraphobia (she is afraid of lightning). I personally think it's connected with her being the daughter of the sun god.   After her mother died, Zala provided all they need. From food to money. But later on Vala finds out that it was her father Apollo who provides all they need and trusted Z...
