Hey, people. I have two things to say.

1) I noticed something similar in the plot in PJO/HoO and KC:

a) The seemingly forever lost parents:

Percy's mom was thought to be dead, but was alive as a hostage. Also, his dad wasn't MIA, but a god.

Carter and Sadie's mom was dead, but could still talk to them, since their dad is hosting Osiris(who also died...ish).

b) The bad guy who isn't the bad guy(at least, is on their side, sort of)

Hades wasn't the "Lightning Thief", and actually got something of his stolen.

Set, though he is evil, helped in the final battle, and wasn't the true enemy, as revealed in RP.

c) A connection to the gods:

Percy and everyone else, are demigods(from demos,which means man, plus god)

The Kanes and the other magicians have the power to host the gods.

I think these three similarities will show itself in the Norse series, like this:

a) THeir mom/dad is in Valhalla, preparing for Ragnarok

b)Loki is not the bad guy

c)I don't know. Seriously. Please, anyone who reads this, put your own theories about the connection to the gods here. Thanks.

2) Show of hands: when the Norse series comes out, who here is going to help create, edit, design and join the community for the series' wiki?
