In the passage, Tyson, with his large, expressive eye, expresses relief and pleasure at seeing Percy alive. Meanwhile, Ella, a creature who seems whimsical and curious, descends to earth and excitedly shares her discovery of a large dog and a Cyclops, hinting at her own bashfulness. The interactions set a lighthearted tone, showing the dynamics between the characters.
Suddenly, Percy is surprised when his hellhound, Mrs. O'Leary, leaps on him playfully, causing a commotion and startling even Arion, the horse. Percy affectionately acknowledges Mrs. O'Leary, which prompts Hazel to express her astonishment at Percy owning a hellhound. Percy’s response suggests that the story behind his pet is complicated but adds to the adventure and depth of his character.
