The Mark Of Athena Predictions

                    As of recently I have began to read the Mark of Athena and have been trying but have not been able to put it down. Annabeth has recently just left to go find the Mark of Athena where she consults a giant spider who is guarding the Mark of Athena. She is one of the first to find it but she doubts she'll be the first come back alive with it. Frank, Hazel, and Leo have also recenlty left the Argo II to go find where the captured Nico de Angelo is. If they successfully find it, they will find there first group challenge since there are giants and traps there. And if they get caught, there will be no way any one will be able to capture Gaea. These spirits of Gaea called Eidolons have been recently following them on the quest trying to possess their bodies and take over them. They have done that on the Argo II to Jason, Percy, and Leo. But Piper charmed speaked them to stop coming on this ship and it has seemed to work.

                    But there quest has barely started since they have only made it Rome which is one of there destinations but if they succedd against Rome, they will have to go Greece to defend the original Mount Olympus. All the giants have risen from Tatarous and the Doors of Death that are somewhere near Rome and Greece is here and they have to seal the original ones to keep the giants in there good and hopefully put Gaea to sleep for good. But if they fail, Gaea will have one boy and one girl get there blood splattered and water Mount Olympus to help her become fully awake. And if that happens GAME OVER.

                    I want to predict that this quest will be successful in this book and the books that follow, but their crew is not doing so well. Annabeth broke her ankle and has to face a giant spider with sharp legs against her little dagger. Frank, Hazel, and Leo have just met Eidolons and have to find where Nico di Angelo is and find where that is without being captured by the giants and get their whole crew over there. Jason and Piper have to defend the Argo II in the middle of Rome, one of the original home of the gods and monsters. Percy has been thinking about what Athena had said to him in his dream which completely relates to this quest. It was that he would be too loyal to his friends when it came time and would save his friends instead of saving the world. Coach Hedge wants to straight out fight every monster but when that happened it just hurt the crew. Everyone on the ship has some secrets that are important but they are keeping them to themselves. And if they want to be a big team. They must know there team. Also they don't have a god with them since there is about to be a War between the Roman and the Greeks so the gods are splitting there two forms when they are about to battle. So killing the giants is not going to work and they need a huge miracle.

                   So I predict that Annabeth will probably not make it out like the other children of Athena trying to find the Mark of Athena. As Percy, Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, and Hazel go to try and rescue Nico, they will be captured and they will be tortured but will fight trying to get out alive which they won't and Gaea will wake. Causing the world to be over and Game over for the Roman and Greeks because instead of trying to keep Gaea sleeping, they fought each other which was a distraction big enough to wake Gaea.

                   Sorry to be so negative but their crew right now needs a huge miracle to pull this off. And without the gods who are in America and they are in Rome and Greece,  this is gonna be a long shot for them.

Rick Riordan

                         Rick Riordan is the author of the series: Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and the Kane Chronicles. His books have been sold in 35 countries and there are least 35 million of his books from these three series in print in the United States. He started out being a full-time teacher but later on he switched to being a writer and is now a full-time writer.

                         His first novels were mystery books for adults which he wrote while he was being a teacher. Those books went on to win the top three national awards in the Mystery Genre. Before the series of the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif, he would read bed-time stories to his son. From that is where he got the idea to write Children's Stories and what came from that was the Percy Jackson series, the Kane Chronicles, and the Heroes of Olympus. He also wrone the Maze of Bones in the 39 clues series. Now he lives in Boston with his wife and two sons. His newest book, the House of Hades comes out 10-7-14 which will end the Heroes of Olympus series which is a step-off series of the Percy Jackson series.

                         I have already read the Percy Jackson series and am on the Mark of Athena in the Heroes of Olympus series. With the seven demigods about to go to Rome in the end of the Son of Neptune, the Romans think that the Argo II coming from Camp Half-Blood is a threat. When actually it's coming to get the other three demigods from Camp Jupiter and go to Rome and Greece to defend the original Mount Olympus.

                        The Mark of Athena is about how the seven are working there way to Rome and Greece in the Argo II to defend Mount Olympus. But Annabeth doesn't know what she is supposed to do about Percy. She is afraid that she won't need his old friends anymore and that he may like the Roman ways better now. Added onto that, Annabeth is carrying a demand from Athena which is to follow the mark of Athena and avenge her. But what is Athena trying to say to Annabeth? With Percy and Annabeth constantly among her thoughts, what is she supposed to do on this trip to Rome?
