Chapter 2: The Vice Principal Gets a Missile Launcher | The Titan's Curse

Last chapter, the bad guys had phones. This chapter, the bad guys are pulling up with the might of the modern military industrial complex!? This book is really taking off! In this chapter, Percy Jackson and friends are engaging in a cliffside duel with the manticore, Dr. Thorne before the unexpected arrival of the Hunters of Artemis. Thalia rushed into the battle with her Aegis held high toward her foes, so join us for today's myth section where we're discussing the origins of the shield(?) of legend.
