Percy and Annebeth go into the doors of death, but someone has to press the elevator button after 12 minutes in order for them to leave the doors. If someone does not press the button they just vanish forever. So their friends are battling through the monsters to get to the button.
Figurative language
example 1: strange wailing sounds filled her ears-millions of heart broken voices, as if the river were made of distilled sadness
example 2: Percy gripped her hand and jolted her back to reality.
Characterization
The author describes Hecate very well by talking about the ghostly mist that surrounds her and the sandles she wares. Also describing hazels horse, Arion, how he looks like black blur while he runs. And how his coat shines.
Dialogue
"My feet are on fire! Not shiny! Not shiny at all." this shows how the dwarves talk.
Also to show one of many examples of how the brainwashed titan talks, "Bob will name kitten little bob". or also, "Bob doesn't like cures."
