I think everyone is ignoring whats right in front of their faces. Annabeth was heavily hinted in Son of Neptune to be the seventh. She had a prophecy regarding her and Hera spoke to Percy about her. What more could anybody need? We know from Olympian Week that the last demigod will be a Child of Athena/Minerva. We know from the prophecy that it will be a daughter of Athena "Wisdom's daughter walks alone, the Mark of Athena burns through Rome". For those of you saying Wisdom doesnt necessarily refer to Athena, your crazy. Wisdom the noun isnt a physical thing and couldnt posssibly have a child and so obviously the line refers to someone/thing who represents Wisdom i.e Athena. What else could it mean? For those saying that it will be another child of Athena I believe you are also mistaken. I seriously doubt Rick Riordan would have two demigod main characters of the same godly parent, gender and aspect of that god (Greek/Roman). We know its a female child of Athena and there is already one of those: ANNABETH! I dont understand why she would have a prophecy referring to her, why the queen of the gods would speak about her or why the next book, where logically we will meet the 7th demigod would refer to her mother. Some people were trying to relate Athena being the god of crafts to Hazels ability to manipulate dirt before SoN came out, which is not only ridiculous but just proves people try to bend the circumstances to point towards what they want to happen in the book.
