Here I am again, I am sure you are all thrilled.
Southern food is amazing, and so is country music!
So, before we start, one little thing:
bluechoc told me:
Also, you know how it's seven demigods for the quest, I think there might be an argument of who is the seventh because it's an uneven number and one side ( Greek or roman) would be more than the other side. For some reason, I think it's another Greek demigod, and Percy would be revealed to be both Greek and roman. Maybe I've been reading too much fan-fiction
Yup, well, I thought that this deserved some talking about here. Your argument(as some may have figured out) applies to Jason as well. While we don't know that much about Jason, he has been living at Camp Half-Blood for more than six months, which is kind of like two summers. But your thing about being both Greek and Roman is something that I would like to point out.
Nico is the Ambassador of Pluto in Camp Jupiter. He is son of Hades in Camp Half-Blood. He spends his time split between his father's realm, the Greeks, and the Romans. See where this is going? He was never, and will never, be welcomed fully in any of these three places, yet they are all a large part of him. He is Greek. He is Roman. He is Nico, son of the Underworld. And he is the seventh.
Sorry about the theatrical writing. Couldn't help it. (^v^)
Tenth order of thought: Jason's dilemma: a memory, a reality, or neither?
Jason Grace has a dilemma before him. One that many a-fan-girl is watching closely. When he woke on a school bus, there was Piper McLean, who had been given false memories that told her that they were boyfriend/girlfriend. She came to terms with the fact that they hadn't been, and focused on becoming his friend, and maybe more, during their quest and the Argo II project.
As he begins to remember his past, his mind brings up the topic of one Reyna, who was his fellow praetor, friend, and they might have, in time, been more. In SoN, Reyna certainly wishes for a relationship, thankfully backing off of Percy, but still yearning to fill the gap that Jason made. I, personally, hope that Piper finds someone better, because I, personally, don't like Jason. However, I know that many people are interested in this, so, of course, I will bring it up.
xFP21 told me:
I hate Reyna/Jason/Piper. I think Reyna and Piper would be good friends in the end.
Another theory I have in mind but I think this is most likely not to happen..
Jason is still in the middle but he has stronger feelings for Reyna .. But Reyna dies in the end and tells Piper to take care of Jason for her .. and there will be an emotional scene there where Piper would be like 'No Reyna, Don't die yet.. '. Lol. Yeah. I watched too much movies with those endings..
That's most likely not to happen but if it does, I will literally sob the whole day then make a shrine of Reyna in my room.
This is a fine idea, and thank you for the, well, anything to put in this! Reyna and Piper do seem to be compatible, though there will of course be tension at first because Piper happens to want to make Jason her boyfriend. Thank you for the review, I know I didn't put all of it in, but this was all I needed for now.
I believe that the popular vote lies with Jas-per. But Reyna, despite possibly needing a visit with counselor or psychiatrist, is a good person, and she should have some chance! There will probably be some sort of scene when Jason and Reyna are alone and catching up(at least, that is what Jason thinks it is, I mean, he is a boy) where they kiss. That should leave Jason confused and weirded out. Piper will be as flirtatious as ever, only he might start figuring out that she's flirting. He might even try kissing her to see if what he feels then can help him figure out his feelings.
Hope this is enough of a touch on that for you! :-)
Tenth order of thought: What on Olympus is the Mark of Athena?
Okay, honestly, there isn't much evidence for us to figure this one out. The whole basis for this comes from two short, little, and very, very incomplete lines of prophecy that were in that book thingy(I'm not in the same state as my books, sorry) and that Ella the harpy said during SoN:
-Wisdom's daughter walks alone,
The Mark of Athena burns through Rome-
So, yes, it is incomplete, so we cannot entirely analyze the prophecy. Oh, now I think I remember the name of those books :-( sorry. The Cybilline(?) books. There are, as usual in this fandom, many theories. Something someone(bluechoc actually) said to me in a review helped me come to my current belief.
Quote of bluechoc:
Also, I think the mark of Athena, not the book title, has something to do with Percy because all the book titles had something to do with him. The lost hero was referring to perches unknown whereabouts and the son of Neptune is technically referring to Percy - pretty obvious. Athena might have branded him for some reason - just saying.
Wow, makes you think. Is anyone getting ideas from this? I did and am. I want to mention something for bluechoc: The Lost Hero could have been Jason. He was lost too. But yes, it is kind of referring to Percy as well.
Now, what this makes me think of is: if Athena marks Percy in a way as to cause him to break up with Annabeth, or her with him, "wisdom's daughter" will be alone. She will be alone, and then she won't go with him on the quest, or rather, go with him further on the quest. If all of my theories are true, then: Annabeth uses Percy's loyalty to go on the quest, Athena has to get her out of the quest because she isn't the seventh, so Athena decides to get Percy to break up with her daughter, he does, she is heartbroken and leaves, "walking alone", oh, but I found a bit of a flaw in my thoughts.
The use of the word "burns" in the prophecy. The Mark may well have to do with Frank. Remember he has a thing about duty. Or rather, Mars wants him to have a thing about duty. If he has some sort of mark, he might "understand the wisdom of needing to not have Annabeth here" and somehow get her to go. I have a feeling that he won't last through all the way to Greece, now that I noticed the word "burn" in the prophecy. That is all for now!
Thank you! I wrote this entire thing while waiting for an airplane. Took me about an hour and a half. This is great practice for me to help with fast output of words! I don't let myself post anything under nine hundred words. Hope you enjoyed, or more, hope you thought! That is my goal here, to make you think. Reviews are always welcome, I could use your thoughts about what you want me to talk about, I only have one left on my list that I made.
Also, could someone please PM me to explain what a beta is? Lots of people say that they have one, but no one says what on earth they are...
