Percy enters The Unknown when he arrives at Camp Half-Blood, an unfamiliar world where he is forced to train and understand his powers (Chapter 5). Finally, he meets Annabeth, who acts as The Mentor, helping him prepare for his quest and teaching him what he needs to know to survive as a hero (Chapter 6-8)."
