POVs As much as I want Nico to have a POV, I think HoH will be told from the Roman side of things. It just makes sense since MoA was told from the Greeks, except SoN uses Roman names in the title and is told from the Roman side ( with the exception of percy, who is Roman at the time ). And MoA is told from Greek side, and uses Athena in the title. Because HoH uses Hades, not Pluto, does that mean it will be told from the Greeks? Who Stays Knowing Rick, it'll probably end in an awful cliffhanger involving someone being left behind and the rest of the group leaving. I think it will be Frank or Percy, because Percy is the strongest and would never let Annabeth there alone. Also, Mars told Frank that Percy would face a sacrifice he could not make. And Frank would have to help him. I hope that Frank would be able to take Percy's place, because that would make him a more important character, because right now he's a bit overlooked ( most people think of Percy or Jason or Annabeth when they think of the best ). Random Other Predictions Rick said something about Calypso. I never really thought of her as a big character, but if she's in this book that could twist around the story a bit. Also, I think Luke could be in HoH. Kronos was able to use him, what if Gaea is too? That really wouldn't affect anyone but Percy and Annabeth, because they didn't know him. But my guess is that, even if it wasn't included in the story, the other five know what happened with Luke and Kronos and all. I don't think Rick will tell us what's happening at Camp Half Blood. I think he'll leave that for the last book, maybe the seven return to CHB and CJ to see the damage? Deaths I'm not sure what's going to happen with the deaths. I don't think Rick would kill one of the seven, but you never know. If he did, I think it would start a huge war, because I think Gaea still might have some way to control them and make them kill each other. Maybe not by eilodons, but some other way. Nico might die, because he seemed really fragile. Then Hazel would be upset, and so would Frank, and that might delay them for a while. But if Nicocouod bring Hazel back, couldn't she do that for Nico? And if Nico was hurt so badly and his dad is Hades, what'll happen to Percy and Annabeth? I don't think both of them will be hurt, but I do think something will happen to one. Great Prophecy Ok most of the prophecy is figured out. The part "an oath to keep with final breath" isn't, but I think it will be about piper and Jason. I mean, there was a lot of clues in MoA. Remember when percy and annabeth were in the stables part? And they were talking about FALLING TO THEIR DEATHS FROM DOORS OPENING?!? How did we not catch that one?!? But anyway, piper is really worried about that part, maybe an unknown scene from her knife ( not sure how to spell it ) that showed that line and Jason. That may be a bit obvious though. And what about the whole percy and annabeth never-leave-me-again thing? That seems a bit like a promise. This is really long, but I've been thinking about HoH since I finished MoA, so I had A LOT of ideas.
