Percy glanced over. He saw the fallen giant and seemed to understand what was happening. He yelled something that was lost in the wind, probably: Go!Then he slammed Riptide into the ice at his feet. The entire glacier shuddered. Ghosts fell to their knees. Behind Percy, a wave surged up from the bay-a wall of gray water even taller than the glacier. Water shot from the chasms and crevices in the ice. As the wave hit, the back half of the camp crumbled. The entire edge of the glacier peeled away, cascading into the void-carrying buildings, ghosts, and Percy Jackson over the edge.
Percy Jackson realized the gravity of the situation as he saw a giant fall, prompting him to yell an urgent command that was drowned out by the wind. In a decisive move, he plunged his sword, Riptide, into the ice beneath him, causing a massive tremor through the glacier. This disturbance affected the ghosts around him, bringing them to their knees as a powerful wave surged ominously from the bay, even taller than the glacier itself.
The relentless wave unleashed water from various cracks in the ice, resulting in chaos as it struck the camp. Buildings crumbled, and the glacier's edge began to break apart, plunging everything—including Percy and the ghosts—into the abyss. The intense scene highlighted the precariousness of their situation, combining elements of danger and urgency in Percy's quest.
