i have a couple of theories on the prophecy

Seven Ha......i'm gonna skip this line

To Storm or fire the world must fall

well this has to mean Gaia. Given Sobek happened after HoO (Either that or RR has no grip on his own time line) the world is still around which means Gaia isn't. as for who its is..Well the boys of course Possibly all four. I mean Alone Percy and Jason aren't really Storm but together they are. and Leo and Frank can represent fire alone thanks to Leos powers and Franks life line. however i feel it will be Leo, I have another thought for Frank and his stick. if I had to reduce it to two I would pick Leo and Percy. not only are they by far my favourite characters they also make the most sense. Hera feels Gaia is scared of her and the special intrest she took in him from birth backs this up and given the prophecy its obvious why she is scared. as for Percy, well Gaia feels she is her pawn (A role with Percabeth (That is a horrible name!) in Tartarus and Basically in her clutches to be sacrificed at Olympus to wake her, i feel is fulfiled) and well, As Son of the sea god, Percy does not like being controlled (He is even begining to resent the olympians now). the complex parts are the OR and the FALL part. i mean if only one/two of the boys can do it does that not defeat the purpose of the team. and how can they truely kill Gaia? they can't, hell they can't even trap her. they gotta lure her to sleep which i felt was Pipers job. Obviously more info needed so i guess we will get more in the next 2 books.

an Oath to keep with a final breath.

at this stage it could mean any number of things. at this stage we aren't even sure if somebody will die with this line and after making 6 likeable characters and Piper, RR might be reluctant to kill em off. I feel however somebody will die and i feel it will be Hazel and Frank. Especially Frank. almost Certainly Frank. which is pretty sad cause he is defiantly the most Likeable of the seven. i feel they will take Percabeths (Still hate that name......ima just call em Percy and Anabeth from now on. hurts my soul less) place in Tartarus closing the Doors on that side. I mean every door needs a seal. in the US Cover (Why do we Irish get the lousy uk Cover?) the Door is held up by Chains, probably the same kind that Chained up Thanatos. So they close the door, Franks burns off the chains (killing himself in the process) and Hazel puts them on the door in such a way to keep them closed so they cannot be reopened, which is the biggest problem. Even if they close the doors, whats stopping the Gigantes from re-opening them? a near unbreakable chain won through sacrifice? sounds right. This ties into this line due to Franks promise to do his duty and Hazels to keep the wood safe. also Frank is confirmed to die annd since she is back from the dead Hazel has to die. i also feel this will be the choice Percy won't be able to make. besides Annabeth these two are his best friends on this quest (He has potential with Jason, still dislikes Leo after New Rome and barely seems to notice Piper nor has he had interaction with her) so letting them take his place will be too much. he will wanna stay, he may even suggest taking Franks wood and burning the chains himself. This is the greatest test i can see RR putting Percy through even greater than Tartarus. Not to mention Hazel may live and get Captured meaning Leo suddendly becomes a sacrifice target (Gaia is obviously targeting Couples/Lovers and Leo seems as Close to Hazel as Frank already.) and if Percy is Storm than Mars Comments about the war going sideways would be correct. not to mention if he and annabeth stay Gaia wakes up and civalisation goes boom. again it could also mean Nico but i doubt it. it doesn't seem liike a promise he would need to die for.

and Foes Bear arms at the Doors of Death.

Ok this could mean a number if things. Maybe Gaia or a giant brings the Greeks and Romans to The doors to fight and die there and screw up the sevens plans (I mean if Greeks romans monsters and the seven were in a brawl nobody would leave alive) this is unlikely as the raid on CHB would lose its emotional weight due to well not happening. Maybe the Two armies fly there to meet them somehow. Another possibility is Kronos coming back and fighting with the Demigods although i'd more likely be Luke (I can't see Kronos ever fighting with Olympians.) most likely i see it being THEE confrontation of HoH and the Climax of the Gigantomachy 2, leaving book 5 to solve what is honestly the nigger, more emmotional question which is the war back in the US between the two Camps.

other things

"The Son of Neptune shall drown" (Yeah that line)

with the ghostly watery stuff on the cover Percy may very well drown (Hell he has already nearly drowned twice) although this would contradict my other theories. it may also refer to him drowning in sorrow after deaths (Deaths will happen in this book. there is no way they wont) i feel this is most likely. we do need this line in context however, i feel that is the prophecy for HoH.

i think thats it. feel free to critique. i may be anon but i will watch this thread (and others!)
