@GreekFreak1333 I think that the choice Athena told Percy he needed to make, that will decide the Fate of the World or the Fate of his friends, will happen in this book. I think Percy would want to stay to close the door so then Annabeth could leave, but I think Annabeth will convince him to leave her, saying that he is more valuable to the team than she is. He will remember what Athena told her and see that Annabeth is right. So he leaves her behind and immediately regrets it. I think he will hate himself or have some emotional problem that might mess up the quest but get it together in time to save the world and find a way to save Annabeth too. Proving to Athena that she was wrong and that Percy is willing to make the tough choices in life. That is what I think.
