In the Percy Jackson series, Percy has a Pegasus named Blackjack. On many occasions during the series, Percy mounts Blackjack and flies away. At one point during the Sea of Monsters, Percy is trapped on board the Princess Andromeda, a ship full of monsters and evil demigods. When there seems to be no way out, Blackjack shows up, and Percy flies away to safety. This flying away from danger and from the confinement of the ship signifies Percy's freedom from evil. Another effect that that flying has in the Percy Jackson series is that it makes Percy appear more Godlike.
