after re-reading the Blood of Olympus again, I just mulling over how everything wrapped up, I had a though, which had more to do with the original storyline, from the first 5, which may have been discussed before, idk, but I was thinking about the original prophecy. A half-blood of the eldest gods, that kinda thing. In the first story arc, the only demigod children of the eldest gods we ever knew about were Thalia(Zeus), Percy(Poseidon), Nico(Hades), and Bianca(again, Hades). We got to see what happened if the child of Poseidon was the hero. That made me think of what would have happened if it wasn't Percy, based off of powers, and personalities.

3 questions:

1. What if Thaila had not died/been used as miracle-grow at her last stand on Half-blood hill, and and had reached 16 before Percy even entered the picture, thus making her undoubtedly the hero of that prophecy. How would the story have panned out differently if she had been the one.

2. What if Bianca becomes the one to reach 16 first, assuming she hadn't died defeating Talos jr., meaning that Percy must've been slain at some point, and the same with Thalia(unless she choses to join the hunters still, as she did in the The Titan's Curse). How could that've worked?

3. Finally, Nico. Let's assume the other 3 had been slain, or the girls became hunters, and Percy has met some kind of demise, or something(maybe he stays on Ogygia?). How would he've done?

Just some food for thought...
