Throughout the journey, tensions rise between Hazel, Frank, and Leo, especially when Leo discovers that Hazel's previous boyfriend was Leo's identical-looking great-grandfather. When the demigods meet Phorcys and his sister, Keto, at the Georgia Aquarium, they turn out to be hostile, and the demigods are forced to battle them. but they are repelled by Piper's charmspeak. Gaea sends Eidolons to possess Percy and Jason in Kansas. Then, the group heads to Kansas, where Percy, Jason, and Piper disembark to find Bacchus, who tells them that they should find Phorcys. While there, Leo meets Nemesis, who gives him a fortune cookie that will help him if he breaks it, though doing so has consequences. The seven demigods escape Camp Jupiter and briefly land near the Great Salt Lake. This causes the paranoid augur, Octavian, to convince the Romans that the Greeks are a threat and have to be destroyed. Their conversation is interrupted by an Eidolon, who possesses Leo and forces him to attack the Roman camp. The statue can only be retrieved by the demigod children of Athena through the help of the Mark of Athena, and no one has succeeded. Camp Jupiter's praetor Reyna tells Annabeth that in order to unite Greek and Roman demigods against Gaea, they have to retrieve the Athena Parthenos, a giant statue of Athena that was stolen by the Romans from the Greeks in ancient times. He, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Annabeth Chase, accompanied by Coach Hedge, arrive at Camp Jupiter to rendezvous with Percy Jackson and Roman demigods Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque. He manages to self-administer the cure, which brings him back to life, and he flies to the island of Calypso, the girl he loves.Īnd-say it with us-everyone lives happily ever after.Six months after the events of The Lost Hero, Leo Valdez has constructed a flying trireme named Argo II, for use in the quest to Greece and Rome to stop Gaea from awakening. Leo flies in on a giant mechanical dragon, hauls Gaea's dirty butt into the sky, and blows her up. Percy and Annabeth are injured, and their blood awakens Gaea. With the cure in hand, they reach the Parthenon where, yep, they end up feeding into the prophecy. Along the way, Jason is impaled, Percy is poisoned, Annabeth gets really scared, and everyone does battle with a statue demanding to see their health insurance. They retrieve the ingredients on their journey. Le gasp! But she advises them to seek out the physician's cure, which can bring someone back to life. She mentions yet another prophecy: one of them…will… die. They're advised to seek out Nike, the goddess of victory, along the way. Jason, Annabeth, and Piper learn that the strait of Corinth is chock full of death, and they have to go around the entire Peloponnese in order to reach Athens. Wait, how did that happen? Let's go back to team one. (Don't worry, sis is fine.) Orion catches up with Reyna near Camp Half-Blood, and Reyna summons her inner strength to defeat him.Īs Nico sabotages Octavian's efforts to attack Camp-Half Blood, Reyna delivers the statue just in time…in time for Gaea to awaken, that is. Orion wipes out most of the Hunters of Artemis before Reyna can escape. In Puerto Rico, Reyna's home, Reyna reluctantly reunites with her sister, Hylla, who wants to use her as bait for Orion. Along the way, they fight hordes of undead and hordes of werewolves and are pursued by a psychopath named Orion. They travel through Pompeii, Portugal, a cruise ship in the Atlantic, Puerto Rico, and South Carolina, all exotic locales in their own rights. With Nico's handy dandy shadow-travel ability, they're able to zip between time zones with the statue in tow. Our other group is made up of Nico and Reyna who, along with Coach Hedge, are trying to get the Athena Parthenos statue back to Camp Half-Blood as a symbol of truce between Greeks and Romans…and hopefully stop Octavian from launching an onslaught against the camp. (Of course, as goes with prophecies, trying to stop it is totally going to make it happen.) That's where Gaea, the Earth Mother, is supposed to awaken, and they need to stop it. They're on the Argo II and they need to make it to the Acropolis stat. The first group is made up of Jason, Piper, and Leo (along with Percy, Annabeth, Frank, and Hazel). Picking up after the events of House of Hades, our heroes are divided into two groups.
