“Now I know what you’re thinking. “Oh, no. Percy’s in a cage. How did this happen?” Well, sometimes you have to get captured just to get a straight answer out of something. It’s a long story. Basically, I’m a bit of a hero. See, I’ve fought some monsters, saved the planet a couple of times. That’s when I came across a path of death, and destruction. Which led me all the way here into this cage…where I met you. How much longer do you think we’ll be in here?”
