What was Rick Riordan's favorite part in The Son of Neptune?
"When one of the characters whose name is Hazel, she meets this magical horse whos name Arion. Arion is from Greek Mythology, he's not as well known as Pegasus. But, he's an amazing horse. And I don't want to spoil the scene for you, but when you find out what he's capable of doing, that's just a scene that I still think... "that is so cool I wish I had a horse like that!"
