Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus Prophecies

The Battle of the Labyrinth

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

In book four of the series, The Battle of the Labyrinth, Annabeth is given the prophecy as follows:

You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze,

The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise.

You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand,

The Child of Athena's final stand.

Destroy with a hero's final breath,

And lose a love to worse than death.

The meaning:

1. Annabeth, Grover, Percy and Tyson enter the Labyrinth to find Daedalus.

2. Nico, son of Hades, raised the dead; Ethan Nakamura, the traitor, was spared; and Pan's spirit and message is raised

3. 'The Ghost King' was Nico (since he is a son of Hades, god of the Underworld), who decided to help Annabeth and the rest of the campers.

4. A child of Athena's final stand refers to Daedalus, one of Athena's children, because he dies during the Battle of the Labyrinth.

5. The Labyrinth was destroyed with Daedalus's last breath, as he and the maze's life force were tied together.

6. Annabeth loses Luke to Kronos, since he becomes Kronos' host body, which is worse than if she would have lost him if he died.
