She wondered what her father was doing right now. It would be the middle of the night in California. Maybe he was asleep, or doing a late night TV interview. Piper hoped he was in his favourite spot: the porch off the living room, watching the moon over the Pacific, enjoying some quiet time. Piper wanted to think he was happy and content right now…in case they failed.
She thought about her friends in the Aphrodite cabin at Camp Half-Blood. She thought about her cousins in Oklahoma, which was odd, since she'd never spent much time with them. She didn't even know them very well. Now she was sorry about that.
These lines are incredibly sad. But I don't want to focus on that. I want to focus on Piper having cousins in Oklahoma. Do you know why I want to draw your attention to that line? It's because I think it's ripe with potential for exploration in a spin-off series. The Cherokee have their own mythology, right? They have their own gods and deities? If so, it's very possible we could try to get a book written about Piper's cousins out in Oklahoma.
If just focusing on the Cherokee is too little, we can even have some focus be paid to the other native tribes in Oklahoma. I don't know all of them (since i'm not from the US), but I see potential for some sort of story here. I can't be the only one, can I? There's just gotta be something here.
