As the sun rose, Percy continued on his quest for the magical, hidden feather. Under the scorching-hot sun, Percy was beginning to regret offering to help. His clothes were sticking to him like glue: the sweat was pouring from his tired body. Percy's shoulders were aching from his heavy rucksack, which felt like it was viciously cutting through his skin. His tiny feet were throbbing with pain through trampling over the treacherous stones and sticks on the floor of the mysterious forest. "I'm glad you're here Puggle!" exclaimed Percy to his faithful sidekick, Puggle the grasshopper. "Without you, I would have definitely given up by now."

As the sun disappeared and the moon rose, Percy and Puggle arrived at dwarfs' hamlet, they were greeted like kings - news of thier bravery had spread.
