Katie I mean, Annabeth is like a main character, plus Rick Riordian knows most of his fans love her and Percy so I don't think he would kill her. Plus it's not like the book hints that she is going to die. Plus, I don;t get why people don't think she's already one of the seven. Because she is one of the seven half-bloods. First of, the book is called the mark of Athena! and second, she's going on the ship to camp Jupiter. If you remember in the lost hero at the end, she asks Jason if she can come


Percyjacksonrox!!! ya but with all the prophecies about her and how hera said that she was gonna cause percy trouble it kinda makes it seem like something bad is gonna happen to her.


message 203: by Katie (new)

Katie causing Percy trouble doesn't equal her death though. Plus, he's tried to trick us before, remember in The battle of the labyrinth, he made us think she was going to die but she didn't. And there isn't a prophecy directly about her


message 204: by Zeke (new) - added it

Zeke I think this prophecy about 'daughter of wisdom walks alone, the mark of Athena burns through rome' means Annabeth isn't one of the seven and Nico is and she's to remain at Camp Jupiter to help rebuild the place.


message 205: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca i dont think nico is one of the seven because isnt he like missing? and he hasnt really played that big of a role in the book, and hera mentioned annabeth and the prophecy says its a daughter of athena.
but what i think could happen is annabeth dies but then the book ends with some big cliff hanger saying that she really is alive.


message 206: by Katie (new)

Katie Nico isn't one, it's Percy, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, and Annabeth


message 207: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca ya i think its been made sure that those are the seven


Percyjacksonrox!!! I don't think its annabeth, Im not sure y, I just don't think she is- plus she's like the only one who doesn't have a power, other than being smart


message 209: by Katie (new)

Katie What does leo have? and it already said she was one. She asked Jason to take her and he said that he wanted her to come. plus in chapter one, ANNABETH is on the ship with only Leo, Piper, and Jason!


Percyjacksonrox!!! He does that fire thingy, and jus cus she's on d ship doesn't mean she's has to b one of the 7, I mean, coach hedge is there


message 211: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca ya but its her pov to, dont you think if someone else was one of the seven they would have a the pov and not annabeth? and the mark of athena is about a child of athena,right, so why would RR just throw in anouther random child of athena to do it and not annabeth?


message 212: by Katie (new)

Katie he would have too many upset fans if he did that(like me) and I forgot about the fire thing. Well Annabeth has the invisibility thing even if she has to use a hat. Beside smartness should count I mean what other power could a child of athena have?

she still could be the one that the prophecy was talkin bout just not one of the 7

ya, ur rite


message 215: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca well i also said in the first chapter that she got a scary gift from her mom, something like that. i wonder what that is?


message 216: by Katie (new)

Katie idk but the first chapter is in 3rd person POV not annabeth's


Percyjacksonrox!!! well, its third person limited in annabeths POV


message 218: by Katie (new)

Katie no because the first line is "Until she met the exploding statue, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything." so it's third person since it said Annabeth not I


message 219: by Alyssa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Alyssa But it's in annabeth's head with her thoughts so it's third person with a certain narrarater each chapter.


message 220: by Katie (new)

Katie not in the first chapter of MOA


message 221: by Alyssa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Alyssa What do you mean? The first chapter of MOA is from annabeth's head.


message 222: by Katie (new)

Katie no its 3rd person meaning its not in any character's perspective


Percyjacksonrox!!! well its giving her thoughts for everything and not anyone elses


message 224: by Laura (new) - rated it 4 stars

Laura isn't that how it was done in the son of neptune and in the lost hero? So it is in third person but it has that persons thoughts and feelings?

Alyssa Yes that's how it is.


message 226: by Marinella (new)

Marinella Hello! I just wanted to put the link for the full chapter of MoA up here so people can read it. It doesn't stop at "The Romans had spotted them." It actually goes on for a few more pages. So, here's the link. :) http://disney.go.com/disneybooks/hero...


message 227: by Katie (new)

Katie you have no idea how much you made my day. even if Percy and Annabeth still haven't meet. Are any of you mad that the romans and greeks are going to battle in the next book?


message 228: by Chess (last edited Jun 09, 2012 09:14AM) (new)

Chess Oh my gods it actually made me want to cry when I first saw the cover for MoA!! It's so obviously Jason and Percy fighting, and the owl makes it look like its Annabeths fault! And when I read the first chapter of MoA, I actually sat in my room literally screaming with annoyance... my throat hurts:P but anyway, when it mentions houw she can't pray for her mum and the present thing, I think it means she might have got one of those mark things that Daedelus got?

Alot of people have said that they think Annabeth is going to die, and my thoughts are somewhere along those lines. Theres been hints that Percy's relationship with Annabeth are going to end the world since the third book when Athena tells percy she doesn't approve of him knowing Annabeth, and then things keep coming up about how Percy is going to have to make a sacrifice he can't make. People have said that what Hera said about Annabeth means that she's going to be bad, but I think that it just means its going to cause trouble for percy not being able to give her up. I think that she's going to have to go through the doors of death to close them, and the scary present thing shes got is the only thing that has the power to close them. Because Percy won't let her go, Annabeth runs through in the confusion of battle or something. Then I think that just as the doors are about to close, Percy goes crazy and runs through them (cause he's impulsive) and drags Annabeth out, and worse case senario they both get stuck in the underworld, or percy pushes annabeth but then he might get trapped himself, or (Hopefully!!) they both get out safely. And I think that Gaea trapped Nico by the doors of death or something. And I think Leo and Frank aren't going to get along cause of Hazel, and then Leo will loose control and accidentally set fire to Franks driftwood and nearly kill frank. or something. Also, Thanatos said to Frank that they would meet again in worse circumstances, which means that Frank will have to expirience death again, whenther it's his own death or someone's close to him. And I think Leo might try to bring his mother back from the dead and get sidetracked when they are trying to close the doors of death. And when they are at the doors of death,, Hazel might get pulled in because of being so close to Hades, and he can't let any escaped souls go free if he knows about them. And then theres going to be a Reyna - Jason - Piper love triangle which will be interesting, cause Piper and Reyna are both really strong women in really different ways. Annabeth is definitely one of the 7 I think cause its in her PoV in the first chapter of MoA, right? Also, what happens if "foes bear arms at the doors at death" means that the Romans and the Greeks fight at the doors of death cause Gaea gets in their minds, rather than them working together to fight Gaea? Ahhhh, all these thoughts are making my head explode!!! And btw, Percy is way better than Jason. PERCY IS AMAZING!!!! I love him :')

ARRGGHHHHH, WHY ISN'T THE REUNION IN THE FIRST CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -.- ugh, my impatience is killing me. Sorry for going on for so long, I've been thinking up all those ideas for so long, I really needed someone elses opinion on them!!

Okay, I think I'm floating back down to the real world now...


message 229: by Chess (last edited Jun 09, 2012 09:09AM) (new)

Chess also, I love Leo... I don't know why... I just do :3


message 230: by Katie (new)

Katie I LOVE PERCY AN:D PERCABETH CAN'T END like i said before Roirdain would have to many upsets fans (like me) if he killed annabeth and/ or percabeth


message 231: by Chess (new)

Chess oh yeah, and katie, I think what Alyssa is tring to say is that even though it's in third persom, we are still reading form annabeths pov. It was like than in the other HoO books, wasn't it? So she has to be one of the seven (hopefullyyy!!!):)


message 232: by Katie (new)

Katie she is one of the seven, that was decided in the first book and yes i get what she meant now . . .


message 233: by Chess (new)

Chess i swear,if he kills percy or qannabeth or has them break up, he will have alot of very angry fans stop by his house to beat him up!!


message 234: by Katie (new)

Katie that is why i beleve he will not do either or i will be one of those fans


message 235: by Chess (new)

Chess Yeah, he will probably make everyone think that something like that is going to happen, but the it won't


message 236: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca ok i dont think percy is going to kill annabeth, but in the first chapter of the MoA it said annabeth doesnt trust jason,so maby she will cause trouble by geting percy not to trust jason, then they start fighting ect.


message 237: by Alyssa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Alyssa That would explain why they're fighting on the cover.


message 238: by Marinella (new)

Marinella Yeah, but hopefully Jason and Percy don't end up fighting, because they're my two favourite characters. D: Maybe it's just to show when they come together they might have a few disagreements, but hopefully not major ones because then Gaea will win.

And I think the reason why so many people hate Jason is because Jason is like the Roman twin of Percy. Has anyone noticed how alike they are? It's like Jason is a parallel version of Percy in the Roman world. And because Jason is so similar to Percy, it's like...it's like the thing with Thalia. You know, "You will either be best friends or you'll try to strangle each other." Or whatever it actually was. It'll be like that, and I think people see Jason as a threat to Percy or something. I don't know, but I can't wait to see what Riordan comes up with! :D

HURRY UP AND PUBLISH, RIORDAN! D:<


message 239: by Alyssa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Alyssa Yeah they're both leaders so I can see how they're similar. Except for like, Jason is a total rule follower and Percy doesn't mind breaking the rules. And have you noticed that Percy doesn't make really good first impressions? When he first met Rachel, he slashed her with a sword. When he first met Dionysus, he insulted him. And the list keeps going...
Anyways, I know Rick Riordan said that that picture is an actual scene in the book. It says on his blog.


message 240: by Marinella (new)

Marinella Yeah...Percy's first assumptions of people aren't always correct. Percy thought Rachel blowing her nose was the sound of skeletons' teeth. xD But, I think Jason and Percy are alike because of their leadership skills, and the way they treat people...I don't know, just reading from both of their POVs they just seem really similar. Whatever, it may just be my brain being strange. :P


message 241: by Eli (new)

Eli Well I think annabethy will die. Wait! Percy will try to save her. She now will be alive but it will screw up the quest

I can see that. Probally why I like both characters.

"Everyone knows that by now," Eli said (still mad that the books come out so slow.):'(


message 245: by Eli (new)

Eli I'm mopeing around now


Percyjacksonrox!!! well, i had read somewhere that while the 7 r fighting Gaea in Europe, camp half blood and camp Jupiter r having a war and annabeths the only thing that'll stop them, so i think she'll have to leave percy and go back to america


Percyjacksonrox!!! i found the article:
"In a fantastical ship called the Argo II, seven demigods journey by air across the United States and by sea to Rome on their quest to defeat the earth mother, Gaea. Meanwhile, war is breaking out between the Roman and Greek demigods they left behind, and only Annabeth holds the key to restoring peace."

Binali omg i had this really stupid idea... but some how fits...about why on earth jason and percy would be fighting in MoA (if u don't know wat im talking about lok at the cover)

isnt annabeth going to cause percy and crew trouble or something and so jason wants to punish her or something but percy being the adorable boyfriend he is is not going to let that happen

that my weird theroy wat do u guys think


Percyjacksonrox!!! ya, i think jason is gonna hate percy and what if he like takes it out on annabeth and then percy gets mad at him or something
