Mr. Brunner reveals that Percy Jackson is now the only hope to stop an impending war between Zeus and Poseidon that could bring the world of humans to an end. The master bolt, the symbol of Zeus’ authority has been stolen by someone. Since Poseidon resents him, Zeus thinks that his brother stole the bolt and gives him an ultimatum of one week to return it.
