But you seem to be giving the Fates a lot more credit than they deserve. The Fates see things as they must be and things as they can be. If something must be, then they say so and everything listens (gods, Titans, ect). For example, the Fates knew Leo would be one of the seven so Gaea couldn't kill him because if she did, reality could unwind. The gods however were the ones that decided to keep their Roman and Greek children apart. The Fates really have nothing to do with it. They simply cut a person's life string when the time is right. I'm pretty sure they don't just sit around and wait for demigods to leave Camp Jupiter and go "There goes another one. *cut*"
