#a task that will certainly come with things they deem acceptable and unacceptable

[screechingfromthevoid]

Something I find deeply interesting about Percy setting Gwendolyn up as a spy in order to find the gods is that it comes on top of the layer of "I'm getting old".

Percy is constantly staring his mortality in the face and he is still so curious about the world. Which is a wonderful thing. Except. He is passing these curiosities on to his children. Going to the moon would be a fine thing to give them. But tasking one of them to find the gods? That is an obsession.

If this is what Percy wants for Gwendolyn, she is going to do it. She is going to hone her skills. She will get very close to her uncle Vax. She will meet gods and. Who knows what they will do with that information.

What is a human man going to do with the knowledge of the gods first reincarnation? Will he even live long enough to see their first resurgence? Will he funnel money to the gods and their parents. Some sort of Whitestone scholarship? Does he think something like that will matter once they come back to themselves?
