Conflict

       I finished reading my book Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan, but while I was reading it I noticed a pattern in the characters roles and backgrounds. They had all been through something really bad and it all comes back to haunt them in some way during their quest. Hazel was born in 1941 and she was a daughter of Hades or in Rome, Pluto. Hazel had a curse that allowed her to contact diamonds and natural minerals in the earth, whenever she gets stressed or really nervous diamonds start popping up around her but the catch is that these diamonds are poisonous. Whoever touches them will die in a horrible and extremely unpleasant way. Her mother Marie Levesque was haunted by Gaea or as she is more commonly known "Mother Earth". When Marie was haunted Gaea forced her to produce diamonds that she would then pile into this pit and speak these odd incantations. This was all to raise a powerful giant that wanted to wipe out the human race, when Hazel found this out she destroyed the cave and slowed the giants growth process down a few decades. Hazel and her mother died in the process and they were banished to the underworld. Hazel sat down there for seventy years until Nico di Angelo (her godly half brother) came looking for his full sister Bianca di Angelo when he found Hazel. Thanatos literally known as "Death" had been captured and chained and the Doors of Death stood wide open. People who had been dead for forty years could walk straight out those doors and immediately be alive again and walk the Earth just like you and I. Hazel grasped her second chance at life and held on to it dearly, she didn't want to die again.
       In the book the giant Hazel had raised had finally been born and was planning on destroying Mount Olympus and human civilization. Percy Jackson, Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque all had to go to Alaska on foot (technically) to save the world. If they got to Alaska they had a chance of defeating the treacherous giant and saving the Roman World, the Greek World, and every other World there was. Hazel was always finding herself blacking out and disappearing into her past life reliving any moment that she thought about for an extended period of time. When Hazel had to face the giant he kept bringing up heart wrenching facts about her past life to emotionally compromise her and when it started working he started to slowly beat them but she let it all go and became really strong and was able to conquer this giant that she had single handedly created with her own powers and strength.
