When he was twelve, Percy was the lost boy, frantic at almost everything, especially when he saw his mother gone in that flash of gold. He was determined to find and bring her back. He was the lost boy, even though he's already loyal, brave, and impulsive. As the years went by, he turned from the unsure follower to the confident leader. He never thought that he could lead two people when he was twelve, but he lead forty demigods, dozens of Artemis' Hunters, the Party ponies, and the nature spirit. He turned from the one who needed the water to help him won the duel with Luke, to the one that could defeat an entire army without breaking a sweat. People used to respect him because he's a son of Poseidon, now, people respected him as their leader, no one is worthy enough to replace him, not even the praetor of New Rome, Jason Grace, son of Jupiter. He'd come far, but there's one thing that cannot be changed no matter what, that his fatal flaw, is loyalty.
Annabeth used to believe that the real world was where she could prove herself. She used to believe that she knew everything, that she could beat everyone and anyone. Well, that was until she met Percy. That son of Poseidon proved to be impossible to conquer. She managed to go on a quest, and after a few quests, Annabeth realized that the real world was not where she needed to prove herself. She needed to prove herself in the heart of her friends. After the Battle of Manhattan, after Percy turned down immortality for her, she realized that she never did know everything. There's always something new to explore, and sadly, something new to defeat. She had study and excel at a lot of things, but she still need to master one thing, the art of love. She thought that their sacrifices and suffering are enough, and they couldn't had anything worse, when Archane brought her to reality, everything can always get worse, and she fell to Tartarus. She never thought that a titan can help them, but Bob did. Damasan, a giant fought his own father to save them. She was thought that everyone can have a second chance. Annabeth learned to be humble throughout the years.
