Well this went off on a tangent extremely quickly. Back to the topic at hand, I'd like to see a few things commence in our big finale.

Firstly, the Prophecy being sorted out. It happens every time we get a cryptic prophecy. Someone (usually Annabeth for the first series) sits our survivors down and explains what each line meant, just clarifying the crazy riddle to any confused readers/campers. Next, Frank and Hazel dying in a blaze of glory. Frank's lifespan is supposed to be short, and he's going to die while holding that piece of wood; why not use the last of it as a quick power-up to save Hazel from something? Hazel is living on borrowed time, anyway. Leo, however, is going too. Unless someone's going to promise something out of nowhere in the new book, or the line is referring to the Roman Legion's oath to protect New Rome, Leo's down for the count. Maybe him dying moves Aphrodite to lift the magic of Ogygia? And that leaves us with Percy, Annabeth, Piper, and Jason. Percy and Annabeth are probably going to save the world and make out (as usual), while Jason dies, finally doing what he always complains about not being a part of: The heat of battle.

Moving past the Seven, Nico is going to find himself a man in the short aftermath of battle. Maybe he sees Piper's brother, Mitchell, or Butch, that kid from the Iris Cabin? Either way, I don't see him dying. Not after Rick unleashed his sexuality to make kids feel accepted. Hard to feel accepted when the author kills off what might be your only relatable character. Not saying people don't relate to the other demigods, but hey, hard to relate to a bunch of breeders who make out all day. (kidding, by the way)

Reyna will return to New Rome, most likely, and finally kill Ocatavian for trying to upstart war. Eventually, both camps will open up an 'exchange program' where campers can go see how the other culture lives; Long Island will be magically expanded by the gods, and New Athens will be contructed, giving Greeks a place to grow old.
