Remember from all the quests in the PJO series? Only 3 people can return from a quest alive. I don't like how that pans out for seven people; one loner and 3 couples. I think Jason lives because of Piper's charmspeak-prayer to Aphrodite, Hazel dies because she was already dead and the rules of death must be followed, Piper dies for trying to cheat a prophecy, Frank has been said to die holding his stick, Percy dies because he can't make THE sacrifice without Frank's sense of duty, maybe Leo kills himself in order to live forever with Calypso as a God? "An oath to keep with a final breath" his oath on the River Styx to return to Ogygia and save Calypso. Only the Gods have been able to return to Ogygia. Besides the prophecy said "Seven Halfbloods shall answer the call" so far nine have answered: Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo, and Reina. Maybe the "Oath" is Nico's vow to never return to Either camp after he takes the other Demigods to the House of Hades and he gets trapped just outside of Camp Halfblood taking the Athena Parthenos to camp and gets attacked and turned into a black Poplar out of Hades' pity.
