Annabeth is ready for college and whatever lies ahead of her. She can face anything with her best friend by her side, but on her own she might not make it out the front door. Sure she can do things for herself, fix problems, understand difficult situations, anything that is necessary. If she needs to talk to someone she isn't well acquainted with for more than a few minutes, expect some shaking. She knows she is able to do it on her own, but until then she will need the strength of her best friend, Desiree. Mattithias can't wait to get away as soon as he can. If it takes going to college and slowly moving away as he gets into bigger colleges, then that's what he would do. He didn't want to be a wizard, he would prefer to be human, so that's how he tries to live his life. Be as human as possible and get away from the world he was born into, which would be a lot easier if his little brother didn't follow him to the same college. Malachai couldn't let his twin leave him all alone and was going to try his hardest to keep Mattithias at home.
