I do not own PJO or HoO, Rick Riordan does!!

In book one of the series, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson is selected to visit the Oracle and to lead the quest to discover Zeus' stolen Master Bolt. When he meets the mummified oracle, he receives this prophecy:

You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,

And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.

The meaning:

1. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover travel west to find Zeus' Master Bolt. While in the west, Percy faces Ares on the beach. We learn he allowed the bolt to be stolen and was following orders and recieving dreams from Kronos.

2. Percy finds the Master Bolt and Hades' Helm of Darkness and returns them safely.

3. Luke, son of Hermes, betrays Percy by revealing he stole the Master Bolt and the Helm of Darkness for Kronos.

4. Percy fails to save his mother from the Underworld, forced to leave without her and instead with Annabeth and Grover. He also failed in saving his friend, Luke.

However, Percy's mother is returned to Percy at the end of the book.
