Hey all! Today is Saturday, which means it's time for me and Caroline's second Percy Jackson discussion!
Today's Topic: What Would You Do If had the Golden Fleece?
Now that is a good question. For those of you who don't know, the Golden Fleece as healing powers beyond imagination, potentially even rivalling the gods' healing powers. Even poison from the depths of Tartarus doesn't stand a chance against it.
I think if I had the fleece, the first thing I would do would be to heal myself (the fleece is guarded by Polyphemus and a flock of man-eating sheep, so stealing the fleece would have been no easy feat) while travelling back to Camp Half-Blood. Obviously I'd heal Thalia's tree first, and once that was all good, I'd casually sneak off and do my stuff.
My first stop would probably be to the hospital, where I would heal the most severely ill or injured. A stop to the children's wing would be a must, too. Though I'm not quite sure how I would go about choosing who to heal first...
I think after that I would shift my attention to the environment. Cleanse brownfields (areas that used to have factories, but upon being shut down, was not properly dealt with and thus has contaminated the environment around with toxic waste and whatnot), cleanse polluted waters, heal coral reefs, and such. I'd also maybe even try to see if the fleece would regrow trees and vegetation. You never know, right?
What about you guys? What would you try to heal if you had the fleece? Let me know in the comments!
Wow we actually have really similar answers! C: At the same time, I feel like having it would be such a huge responsibility, it would be hard to manage... It’d still be awesome though! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm sure we can spilt the responsibility! That way, it won't as taxing on either of us ;)
DeleteI think other than saving the Earth and helping people, I would most likely use it to heal and help animals!
ReplyDeleteI would want all my little pets and also other people's to live happily and healthily!!

Ooooh, you're totally right! Helping animals is definitely something I'm going to add to my list! Especially all the endangered animals in the world, they definitely need our help! Great idea! :D
DeleteI have a very similar answer to you! Obviously I would save Thalia (duh), but after that I would heal my Mom from her auto-immune disease and then try to save as many kids as possible! Maybe I would try and see if the Golden Fleece had properties that could be put into something else that would contain the same magic so I could heal more in less time? After that, it's off to save our environment!
ReplyDeleteAw, that's so sweet of you. I truly wish your Mom the best.
DeleteOooh, that's a good point! Healing things in less time means you can heal a lot more things! I never thought of that! Great idea :)
