Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus Prophecies

The Son of Neptune

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

Frank's prophecy, given to him by Mars, his father, in The Son of Neptune:

"Go to Alaska.

Find Thanatos and free him.

Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die."

This prophecy isn't like any others (probably because of Mars' inability to rhyme words well, as well as the fact that it appears more like an order or instruction than a prophecy to serve as a guide) It is unfolded throughout the story as follows:

1. Frank, the leader of the quest, Hazel, and Percy make it to Alaska after several different trails and close calls.

2. Frank, while being protected by Percy (who has made another personal hurricane), is able to free Thanatos using his piece of "life wood."

3. They make it back to Camp Jupiter, are able to defend the camp from invading forces, and live.

The real prophecy though, as recited by Ella started off with this:

"To the north, beyond the gods, lies the legion's crown.

Falling from ice, the son of Neptune shall drown."

The next part of the prophecy was burnt before Ella could read and memorize it. The story pertaining to this part of the prophecy is:

1. In Alaska, beyond the Gods sphere of control, the Roman Eagle is frozen in ice.

2. The prophecy, since incomplete, becomes quite unclear. It may refer to either of the following:

Percy feels that it may refer to him drowning in Gaea's territory (land) when he fell in the muskeg in Alaska.

As Frank assumed, Percy drowned in Alaska when he fell of the glacier while battling the shades; or

As Hazel suggests, that Percy may drown his enemies, like he did at the frozen Roman camp with the shades.
