I was just going to write that RR did announce the parents of the demigods, I went looking for it and re-read it. It could be interpreted differently I guess. It doesn't flat out say that the Olympian Week gods are the parents of the 7 chosen demigods, it's just implied.

Straight from RR's blog: "Disney-Hyperion Books is holding a contest to pick seven locations around the US -- one for each of the seven Great Prophecy demigods -- that will host a live event with me, October 4-10, for the launch of Son of Neptune."

If I tried really hard to think about it, maybe it might not be a child of Athena/Minerva. It could be someone Athena chose to represent her? Lol. Far-fetched idea. There's a 99.9% chance it's Annabeth.

Whether it's her or not, I think the 7th demigod is going to be a girl. There's already 4 guys. I want it to be Nico, but he's a guy and he'll probably just lead them to the DoD.

Another one of my far-fetched interpretations would be that in order for RR & Disney to call it Olympian Week, it could only have had the names of the Olympian gods. Since Athena/Minerva is the Goddess of War, she might just be *representing* a "Daughter of War", which could give us more runnings for the spot, like Reyna who is a Daughter of War. I think RR did say the other 4 would be introduced in the 2nd book, technically speaking, Annabeth was introduced in the 1st book and she wasn't there in the 2nd aside from Percy's dreams.

This is just me stretching my imagination. It is heavily implied that Annabeth will be the 7th, but RR might just be trolling us again.
