They died OUT OF GUILT. No other reson. not courage or honesty or bravery just guilt. You might say how do i know this. Rick Riordan tells us. In the Last Olympian he drops hints of Silena's guilt. Now for Luke, how do think you would feel if someone said you were going to make a difference but they possess your body, try and kill the ones you love (annabeth), and destroy your hometown. If I was that person I would feel majorly guilty
