Riptide, as a sword
One of the main characters is Percy. He is Poseidon's(Greek god) son. Percy goes on a quest to find Zeus's master lightning bolt, and as a tradition, when a god's child goes on a quest, the parent gives the son a gift. Poseidon gives the gift to Chiro, the camp leader at Camp Half- Blood.( the camp Percy goes to) The gift is a sword called Riptide. Riptide is originally a blue pen, but when Percy opens it, it turns into a sword. This sword also can never get lost because it has the magical powers to come back to it's owners. Percy uses Riptide multiple times when he kills monsters on his quest. It helps Percy kill Mrs.Dodds, and start to realize his powers.
