mythlology: (get on the hydra's back)
seventh skill / day 140 / jabberwock / Water affinity III: Fire resistance
form: raw meat; one use

So Percy can survive having lava thrown at him and the only real consequence is that the hair that isn’t on his head burns off. I… guess I will figure out how to roll with that here.

twenty-ninth memory / day 142 / three / “We Hitch A Ride With Dead Confederates,” “Clarisse Blows Everything Up” (SOM 10+11 )
form: rice paper; one use

Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth escape from the Princess Andromeda on their lifeboat and go to a hide-out Annabeth, Luke, and Thalia used to have. They end up fighting hydras. Clarisse saves them in a Civil War-era boat staffed by zombies. They pass through Scylla and Charybdis and… the boat explodes and it seems like Tyson is dead…

The point of this memory is Scylla, Charybdis, and THREE YOU’RE GOING HYDRAS WRONG. THREE COME BACK HERE AND LET ME LECTURE YOU; IF I HAVE TO FIGHT HYDRAS I AT LEAST WANT DONUT STORE CHAINS.

thirtieth memory / day 143 / peter pan / “Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades” (Demigod Files)
form: gold stick; one use

Percy, Thalia, and Nico have a ka-fucking-waii Christmas adventure. Persephone drags them all to the Underworld, because she’s been secretly forging a sword for Hades with one of his keys in it, so it you poke someone with it they’ll die or come back to life… and then it got stolen. The Little Three have to follow a magic flower to catch the thief. They encounter Sisyphus and also monsters, and Melinoe shows up and scares everyone except Percy has no ghosts because he is at peace with all the dead people in his life? Percy gets a Titan Lethe’d, they find the sword, the Kindly Ones fly them back to Hades’s palace and… I forget how the short story ends, should probably reread it before Persephone intros.

thirty-first memory / day 143 / green knight / “I Open a Coffin”
form: citrine ribbon; five uses

TRAUMA MEMORY.

I stood over the coffin. The lid was decorated even more intricately than the sides—with scenes of carnage and power. In the middle was an inscription carved in letters even older than Greek, a language of magic. I couldn’t read it, exactly, but I knew what it said: KRONOS, LORD OF TIME.  )
