one of the greatest things that happened in the 3rd book of PJO was that you get this scene right, the scene where the villain (Luke) is weakened and one of the heroes (Thalia) has him cornered, and this is when the villain is like “ha… you will never do it…. you dont have the.. guts!!” and you think, oh man she’s gonna give up, and he’s going to kill her. But then,, THEN.. Thalia is basically like “lol… bye Luke” and fucking kicks him in the chest and he falls off a cliff………… honestly…. iconic
