Kronos is blown to dust and scattered by the wind, and Luke dies a hero's death.
Right after that, the gods arrived after successfully defeating Typhon and are shocked to see Luke's dead body on the ground. Through deaths and betrayals, the demigods stand victorious. Percy is offered the gift of becoming a god, but declines due to his feelings for Annabeth.
He remembers how he felt when Annabeth might have become a Hunter of Artemis and notices Annabeth looks about the same way that he did then. Because of this, he declines their offer in favor of a request.
He requests that the gods claim their children by the age of thirteen and that Camp Half-Blood construct cabins for Hades and the minor gods so their children have a place at camp. When he comes back to Camp Half-Blood, he finally expresses his feelings for Annabeth and they kiss twice, the first time in Camp Half-Blood's mess hall, and the second time being underwater, due to which a group of eavesdroppers tosses them into the lake, the latter which he describes as 'pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.
Percy celebrates Grover 's birthday party alongside Juniper and other dryads at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. After gifting Grover aluminum cans, the satyrs suggest playing Pin the Tail on the Human, frightening the only human present - Percy. However, before the game could begin, Apollo arrives and greets Percy and Grover. They attempt to tell him that they're taking a day off to celebrate Grover's birthday, but Apollo interprets this as a day off to help him.
Apollo takes Percy and Grover to the side in order to introduce them to the Celedons , a trio of golden automatons who sing in beautiful harmony and will perform with the god in a concert at Olympus. Grover protests that they sound fine, but Apollo reveals that the Celedons are a quartet and one had gone rogue after Hephaestus ' two-thousand-year warranty expired.
Percy complains that Apollo could retrieve the celedon himself, but he explains that he needs to perform a soundcheck for the concert and that heroes are supposed to run the gods' errands. He suggests for the two to search at the Theater District of Manhattan as Celedons are always looking to be "discovered.
Apollo reveals he likes Percy and that his experience with the Sirens during the Sea of Monsters is a similar challenge. He summons his personal lyre and tells Grover that his immunity to magical music and the ability to play the lyre's magic will aid in the capture the celedon. He sets the rendezvous at the Empire State Building by sunset before vanishing. Percy and Grover who doesn't bother to disguise himself take the subway to Times Square as it is located in the middle of the Theater District and filled with tourists and Broadway performers.
While searching, Grover bumps into a hot dog vendor cart and clutches the lyre protectively. Percy questions the use of the lyre, but Grover explains that if the right song was played, it could create anything. Percy expresses doubt as Grover's skills on the reed pipes waver between days.
The satyr spots the celedon approaching a mic on an outdoor stage and it prepares to sing causing Percy to stuff wax in his ears. He explains the difficulty in fighting automatons with mortals and manipulates the Mist to show a presidential motorcade to the cops in order to block off the area.
As the police block off the exit, Percy uncaps Riptide and attacks. However, the Celedon's song resonates through the earwax and causes mortals to weep in depression.
Grover frantically imagines a cage around the celedon while playing the lyre, but instead summons a brick wall between Percy and the celedon.
The momentum causes Percy to crash into the wall and topple it over the celedon who regains her composure and begins singing a song about Apollo and the sun. Percy begins wrestling with the automaton but notices that the heat resonating from the song has melted his earwax and signed his shirt.
Grover attempts to think of a cage for the celedon, but random shifts occur due to him being nervous. With no other choice, Percy swings Riptide forcing the celedon to stop singing and transform into a quail who flies to the top of Times Tower. Percy and Grover ride the elevator to the top of the tower and climb stairs to reach the roof.
Grover protests that birds should be free, but realizes Percy's plan and promises to try. Capping Riptide, Percy asks Grover for the blindfold he was going to use on Pin the Tail on the Human and approaches the celedon.
As she finishes singing her song, Percy jumps on her back and gags the Celedon as Grover strums the lyre for a birdcage. The Celedon, however, attempts to throw Percy off the roof of Times Tower while Grover nervously tries to think of lyrics. A birdcage of Celestial Bronze begins to form, but the Celedon spins Percy off her and pushes him off the tower. A metal rung catches his pants belt, but the momentum causes Percy to slip out of his pants and continue falling.
The demigod snares onto a billboard to prevent himself from falling and reveals that he wears plain blue boxers claiming they're more comfortable than briefs. The Celedon smiles down at Percy and begins singing about Percy letting go of the billboard and falling.
Percy wills himself not to listen and thinks of Annabeth and his saving of her from the Sirens. He imagines her anger and resolves that it is scarier than monsters, breaking the automaton's spell.
Percy realizes that the Celedon would only transform into a bird if she was startled and uses the Empathy Link to tell Grover his plan. He asks the automaton for an autograph and Grover tells her to check his pants for a pen. The Celedon complies and uncaps it only to be startled by the appearance of Riptide. She transforms into a bird, but Grover grabs her and shoves her inside the birdcage. He laments that he scratched Apollo's lyre and imprisoned a bird, deeming it to be the worst birthday ever.
Percy reminds Grover of his situation and the satyr, now focused as the Celedon is imprisoned, plays a tune that summons a rope for Percy. Upon noticing the sun starting to set, Percy states that they have to meet Apollo at the Empire State Building, but Grover suggests for him to put his pants back on. They arrive at the lobby where Apollo literally brightens upon seeing them.
He exclaims that he'll have Hephaestus fix the Celedon, but notices the lyre's scratch. Percy intervenes and tells him to have Hephaestus fix it causing Apollo to lighten up. He invites the two to watch his concert, but Percy lies, claiming they're not worthy of his music and might explode. Apollo buys the excuse and leaves with the Celedons for his concert in a flash of light.
Percy winces at the mention of the sing-along but agrees to go for the s' mores, claiming that they may still have time to turn Grover's birthday around. While celebrating their one-month anniversary, Annabeth asks Percy what he had planned for their special dinner that night.
Percy, who never remembered promising something like that, stalls for time just as Hermes arrives. Percy takes Hermes into his truck to talk, where the god reveals that while he was delivering packages to Janus , Cacus snuck into his truck and stole his caduceus. Because Hermes doesn't want to be seen looking for it, as the other gods would never let him live it down, he sends Annabeth and Percy to find it for him. Annabeth takes out her Video Shield and at first when she said 'Let me see Cacus,' the shield shows her the city of Seacacus, New Jersey.
After she rewords the sentence and finds that the giant Cacus is in the meatpacking district. When Percy and Annabeth get there, they climb down a ladder into the sewers and find an underground cavern. There they meet Cacus and he tries to sell them watches and clothes, which Annabeth quickly notes are fake.
When Percy asks for the caduceus back, Cacus claims he will figure out how it works and become the god of traveling salesmen, mostly by forcing George and Martha to listen to him. Annabeth and Percy go on the attack, with Annabeth stabbing him in the back of the knee and Percy stabbing his leg. However, Cacus backs her and Percy into a corner, destroys Annabeth's shield, and is about to turn her to stone when George and Martha turn into a cell phone. They escape the cavern when Percy calls thousands of gallons of New York sewage to him and it pushes them to the surface.
Annabeth then comes up with a plan and runs to a crane, knowing how to operate it as she observed them on Olympus. Percy lures Cacus under the crane's large hook and Annabeth drops it on his head before picking him up and swinging him into the air, where Percy destroys him with the caduceus' Laser Mode.
Percy and Annabeth then return the caduceus to Hermes , who is very grateful. When questioned what other enemies the gods have and what exactly Zeus has been threatening, Hermes dodges the question. As a reward, however, Hermes transports them to Paris for special dinner gourmet foods. Their night ends with Percy and Annabeth walking by the river and Annabeth wondering what Percy has planned for their two-month anniversary, which makes Percy happy that she sees a future for them in a month.
Even though Percy does not appear in this book, it is revealed that he and Annabeth are officially dating and that the whole of Camp Half-Blood was extremely worried about him.
For most of the book, his location was unknown with the only clue being that he disappeared around the same time that Jason Grace , a son of Jupiter , first physically appeared. Alabaster C. Torrington mentions the son of Poseidon when telling Dr. Percy with the Eagle on the cover of The Son of Neptune. He meets up with June , a goddess disguised as an old lady and she gives him a choice: carry her to the other side of the road, or leave everything and go to the ocean, creating a new and invincible life for himself.
Percy chooses to carry June to the camp, even though it means that he will lose the Curse of Achilles. After reaching the borders of the camp, he uses water from a nearby river to create two giant hands that destroy the sisters as the water breaks their connection to the Earth.
The waters of the river seemed to have also washed away his Curse of Achilles , as after the waters receded, Percy felt like he had been in an acid bath and he felt vulnerable.
June introduces him as a son of Neptune and Reyna seems to know Percy somehow when she hears his name which confuses him. June then shows her true form as Juno and the campers bow in respect, except for Percy who thinks that because he carried her all this way, he didn't feel that she deserved his respect and also because Percy didn't particularly like Juno in her Greek form Hera though he didn't remember that at the time.
Reyna then orders Hazel to take him inside where she could question him. During their conversation, Percy noticed that Reyna had feelings for Jason Grace , and considered him to be more than just a co-worker. When the conversation is over, Reyna believes that Percy is telling the truth about losing his memories and lets him go. Percy then meets Octavian in the Temple of Jupiter and then meets Nico di Angelo , who he does not remember, but he does think that he knows him from somewhere.
From then on, he is initiated into the Roman camp where he impresses some of the campers with his battle prowess during that night's War Games , managing to help the Fifth Cohort win their first War Game's in a long time.
At the end of the game, Mars himself appears and selects Frank, his son, and Percy for the quest to free Death. Percy vaguely remembers his antagonism towards his Greek counterpart, Ares.
He somewhat visualizes that they had a fight in the past. They embark on their quest using the only vessel in the Roman Navy, a pathetic rowboat named the Pax. They sail to upper California where they meet Iris and see the Giant 's army. They then move to Portland where they encounter Ella and the wicked king and seer, Phineas who also appears to have knowledge of the past, present, and future although he is blind. Ella was wanted by Phineas as he thought she was a very precious harpy because of her knowledge.
His intentions were to tie her up and keep her like that but the three friends find it cruel and make a bet with Phineas. They find the location of Thanatos when Percy gambles with Phineas using poison and healing Gorgon blood. By tricking Phineas, with Gaea's help, Percy is able to take the healing vial, from then on his memories begin to return. They eventually reach Seattle and the Amazon company which is run by Hylla , Reyna's sister and also the former secretary of Circe.
After escaping the Amazon compound with great difficulty, the group fled to Frank's house in Canada where his grandmother lived, who, unfortunately "had an appointment with death" as the house burst into flames. She had told Frank that he was a descendant of Neptune and he could turn into anything.
This had a great effect on Hazel as she was told by Pluto that she would be freed by her curse blackouts about her pasts whenever she thought about them and finding cursed jewels wherever she was by a descendant of Neptune. She had thought it was Percy but now she had no idea who would free her.
Hazel had also kissed Percy on the cheek for his moral support. From there, they went to Alaska as more of Percy's memories returned. After arriving on the Hubbard Glacier, Frank was able to free Thanatos by burning a piece of wood which contained Frank's life. When the wood burned out Frank would die but only after Frank played a big role.
He had entrusted his life with Hazel. Meanwhile, Percy fought off a legion of Roman undead warriors, using his powers to create a hurricane and a massive tidal wave. This caused several fissures to materialize, culminating in Percy and the undead soldiers falling from the glacier into the sea below. After Frank and Hazel killed Alcyoneus, they retrieved Percy who had the Roman standard and was waiting on a block of ice for them to return.
Percy eventually saves Camp Jupiter from Polybote's attack and is raised on a shield to become Praetor. The following day, Percy tells the senators that he is Greek and that a warship is arriving with their former praetor Jason. Percy tells the Romans not to attack, and Reyna eventually agrees to his request.
The senate meeting ends and Reyna confides to Percy that she hopes Jason is on the warship. Reyna also said she missed Jason Grace. Percy then wraps his arms around Hazel and Frank and wants to introduce them to his other family. Percy and Jason on the front cover of The Mark of Athena. They begin their journey to the ancient lands, making a few necessary stops and visits to certain gods in the U.
S before they can leave. After many obstacles, they get to Rome. In Rome, many more monsters attack, with the worst to come. When the demigods of Camp Jupiter realized that Rome was their destination, they resolved to instead go to war with Camp Half-Blood, and they march toward New York.
This, however, isn't their only problem. Annabeth, assigned a mission from her mother Athena to recover the Athena Parthenos , must go her own way and thus Percy becomes extremely worried. Furthermore, he still has to face his own problems, including drowning. After he battled with the twin giants Otis and Ephialtes succeeding by working together with Jason and Bacchus , the Roman form of Dionysus , Percy goes on to help Annabeth, even though the child of Athena must go alone.
Though he finds her in a workable situation, that quickly changes, and Percy and Annabeth go down to the stables to catch up. Guarding the Athena Parthenos was Arachne , who Annabeth tricked into trapping herself. As Arachne falls into the abyss of Tartarus she and the Athena Parthenos were over the void of Tartarus , she shot out silk spider webs, one of which wrapped around Annabeth's ankle.
Annabeth gets dragged towards to Tartarus, and Percy desperately holds onto her. As a result, Percy and Annabeth, both, fall into the dark abyss clinging onto each other. Percy and Annabeth have been falling for 9 days into Tartarus.
They see the ground and a river rushing up to them, which Percy uses to catch them in their fall. The river was the river Cocytus , the River of Lamentation. It gave the two thoughts of giving up and drowning but Annabeth manages to get them to shore.
The air in Tartarus is poisonous, and according to Annabeth, smells and tastes like styrofoam peanuts, which Percy remarks, smells like his stinky ex-stepfather, Gabe Ugliano. To enable them to survive the horrors of Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth drink from the flaming river, the river Phlegethon , which allows monsters to endure the punishments in Tartarus.
After drinking from the Phlegethon, Percy and Annabeth feel much better and are able to journey through Tartarus. They come across various reformed monsters and Titans, such as Hyperion , and to their surprise, an old friend of Percy comes to help, the good-turned Titan, Iapetus.
Iapetus, known as Bob, help them on their quest and allow them to find and close the Doors of Death. However, along the way, complications start to unfold as Bob starts to remember who he is. As they pass a golden bubble, in it the reformed Hyperion , Percy asks Bob to burst his golden bubble since Bob is the only one with a weapon. They then come across the arai. Percy pleads with Bob for help, but Bob hesitates and allows him and Annabeth to get hurt because he realized that they were the ones who wiped his past memories.
Seeing Annabeth in deep despair and blindness, Percy has no choice but to battle the arai , resulting in him getting the curse of slowly dissolving. This stretches back to the previous book, The Son of Neptune , where Percy had a bet with Phineas , resulting in Percy surviving after he prayed to Gaea. Phineas then cursed Percy to die a painful death through dissolving. However, Bob finally decides to help after seeing who his true friends were. Together with Annabeth, he takes Percy to the giant Damasen 's hut, to get him healed.
With that, Percy is restored to his original health and the trio continue their journey to the Doors of Death. However, they are soon faced with great difficulty as the Death Mist fades and they can be seen by the hordes of monsters present at the Doors of Death. On top of that, the primordial of the pit, Tartarus , also takes on a physical form and begins his attacks on them. Percy intends to battle Tartarus, but is stopped by Annabeth, who feels that Tartarus is way too powerful and is a 'class by himself'.
Bob and Damasen both agree with Annabeth. With much reluctance, Percy gets into the elevator with Annabeth and journey back into the mortal world, with a promise he makes to Bob to say 'hello' to the stars for him. Percy and Annabeth meet the other five demigods in Epirus and back on the Argo II , he fulfills his promise to Bob, by looking in the starry sky and saying "Bob says hello," before the Argo II continues sailing in the night.
A few days after his return from Tartarus, he asked Jason to protect Annabeth for him when she was accompanying him to Ithaca , since he was staying behind to watch threats from the sea. Jason squeezed his shoulder and promised she would return to her safely.
Two days later, Percy met the seven for breakfast to discuss subduing Nike while eating blue waffles, sitting next to Annabeth, who chided him for using too much syrup. Percy was okay with fighting Nike, and suggested that the combinations of the demigods that went to fight her would spark greco-roman rivalry.
Percy agreed not to go with Jason, since they might kill each other, and agreed to go with Hazel, Frank, and Leo. Percy and Leo scouted the museum and then sat on a bridge overlooking the Kladeos river, skipping rocks.
Leo was very intimidated by Percy after surviving Tartarus, his reputation at Camp Half-Blood, and his relationship with Calypso. Percy realized that Leo was mad at him and tried to discuss it, but they were interrupted by Frank and Hazel. The four walked around the ruins of Olympia and stopped at the Temple of Zeus, after Leo realized Nike was probably there. Percy suggested promoting adidas shoes to make Nike angry enough to show up, and he and Leo began insulting Nike, causing her to show up.
Percy suggested fighting Nike instead, but she refused, saying if they don't want to fight each other she will persuade them. The Nikai forced them into the arena, and they discussed a plan to defeat them. Percy was against fighting and Hazel using the Labyrinth , but he reluctantly agreed. After five minutes, the fighting began and Percy pretended to fight Frank and Hazel.
He fired popcorn grenades and as Nike taunted him, he wanted to drown her in a river. He managed to cut a Nikette in half, making Nike angry. He and Leo escaped by jumping behind a wall, and he finally decided to talk about Calypso. He apologized for failing Calypso and said he knew about her and Leo.
He explained that he was reminded in Tartarus about not following through with his promise to her and assumed the gods would free her, and between everything that happened in the series, he forgot about her. He then said he was glad Leo found her and if they survive, he would do anything to help him.
Leo was shocked and exclaimed he can't hate him for being perfect and apologizing, making Percy smile. Suddenly, Percy heard Hazel in pain and ran to help her. He then fought a Nikette who almost killed him, but Leo saved him. After their victory, Percy was okay but sore and bruised.
He then discovered that one of the seven would die. A few days later, the Argo II arrived in Pylos. The seven discussed what to do after Piper and Frank returned from getting the mint, and Percy suggested setting Leo on fire after they heard about a statue.
He then suggested for the ship to fly instead of use the sea to avoid a nearby sea serpent. The next morning, Piper recounted her dream about the giants to Percy, and he became so scared the plumbing exploded, which scared her.
He insisted that Annabeth and Piper cannot face Mimas and the Makhai alone, wanting to go with, but Annabeth was against it since they may use his blood to summon the giants. Annabeth kissed him, then left. On July 27th, there was a huge storm harming the ship, and Percy stood at the masts, keeping the Argo II from being capsized or destroyed.
Jason went towards Percy, appreciating that he wasn't trying to protect him or force him to return to sickbay. Percy told him something was causing the storm and wanted him to go underwater with him, though he couldn't breathe underwater. Percy jumped overboard and Jason followed, using a bubble of wind around him to give him oxygen to breathe.
Percy greeted him, and the boys followed a green light further underwater. They arrived at a palace, and Jason suggested it was Atlantis, but he said it was a myth. Jason pointed out that they deal with myths and he could see why Annabeth was the brains of the operation, and he then told Jason to shut up.
They were suddenly greeted by Kymopoleia , who said she was Percy's sister and wanted to see him die. The three talked, and Kym was offended when he didn't recognize her. Percy asked her to stop the storm, but she refused.
He was also happy when he found out she was married to Briares , and asked if she was around. Suddenly, Polybotes recognized Percy and vowed to crush him once and for all. Serpents lunged to attack him, who sliced them in half as Jason tried to reason with Kymopoleia.
Basilisks then closed in on Percy, who tried to push them away, but they kept circling. After Jason saved him, he drew his sword and ran to face Polybotes. But the giant created a pool of black, oily poison, which Percy ran into without hesitation.
Percy began choking on the poison and dropped Ripide, falling to the floor as a weighted net dropped over him.
Jason urged Polybotes to free him, but he laughed, saying Percy would die very slowly, wanting to see him suffer. Percy's face turned green as he writhed in the net, and Jason ran to help him, but he was blocked by the giant. Eventually, Jason saved his life by agreeing to honor Kymopoleia and all the minor gods, so the two killed Polybotes and freed Percy. Jason cut him out of the net and put him in his oxygen bubble to expel the poison. He thanked Jason, though he was cross eyed and fuzzy, and immediately threw up.
After the ordeal, Percy bid his goodbye to Kymopoleia and told her Briares was a good man and to give him a chance, but she refused. She also told him the gods will want his blood and that he has yet to face his fatal flaw: being unable to step away. She said he would face a sacrifice he is unwilling to make and it would cost him the world. He insisted he would not run when his friends needed him.

While getting ready to land at Camp Jupiter , Annabeth Chase prepares by making sure the backup plans are ready in case something goes wrong, as well as the back-ups to the backup plans. While Leo Valdez is flying the Argo II with a control system that involved Wii remotes, a dubstep soundboard, a keyboard, and a monitor, and much more complicated things.
Annabeth tries to keep Gleeson Hedge from attacking the first thing he sees by making him watch reruns of mixed martial arts championships in his cabin. Jason Grace prepares by putting on a purple toga over his orange Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and Piper McLean practices her lines for the landing.
As Annabeth watches Jason , she wonders if this could all be a trap, as she was still a bit distrusting of Jason because he seems too perfect. She is also reminded of how much she misses Percy Jackson , her boyfriend, every time she looks at Jason. Annabeth also mentions feeling a mysterious chill, as if "a psychotic snowman had crept up behind her and was breathing down her neck. Athena also had given Annabeth the worst present of her life during this meeting.
Annabeth Chase is amazed by the size of Camp Jupiter, which is twice the size of Camp Half-Blood , in the shape of a capital G, and notices the landmarks that Jason had told her about. She sees evidence of the Romans' recent battle, including the cracked dome of the Senate House. He shrieks that he will not allow any weapons inside the Pomerian Line , and grumbles at Jason for consorting with the enemies of Rome, referring to the Greek demigods.
He is specially against Annabeth , becuase she is a daughter of the Greek goddess Minerva, who would be known as the Roman goddess Minerva, who is not worshipped in Rome. Piper tries to charmspeak Terminus , but he slaps Katropis her dagger out of her hand with magic for her impertinence. Since New Rome is still recovering from the recent battle, Terminus announces that if he was at his full strength, he would have already blasted the " flying monstrosity " out of the sky, to which Leo takes offense to.
Annabeth tries to regain control of the situation and calm everyone down by introducing herself to Terminus , but the god finds Annabeth being the daughter of Athena , the Greek form of Minerva , to be "scandalous. Terminus instead tells them to "surrender, then leave," and slaps Leo's face for asking if they surrender or leave.
Terminus makes Leo drop the screwdriver, announcing "weapons are not allowed on Roman soil inside the Pomerian Line," which includes the Argo II itself, as the whole ship is a weapon. Annabeth spots Percy walking with Frank and Hazel as if they were best friends, and Annabeth knows she had to reach him, as she was so close.
She also notices that he is now a Praetor, as he is wearing a purple cape just like Jason's. Annabeth orders Leo to stop the ship as she asks Terminus whether there is a rule against the ship hovering over New Rome, to which Terminus says there is not. Annabeth then tells Terminus that they will keep the Argo II up in the air over New Rome and use a rope ladder to reach the forum.
She also promises Terminus that all the weapons will stay on the ship, as long as the legion reinforcements will honor the same rule, which Terminus agrees to as he cannot tolerate those who break the rules. When questioned by Leo who asks if this was a good idea, Annabeth clenches her fists to stop them from shaking. She feels the cold presence, which seems to be laughing at her and the bad choices she is making.
But she knows that Percy is down there and that she has to reach him. She replies that it will be fine and Terminus will make sure that both sides will obey the rules, if Terminus agrees. Terminus sniffs, but agree with a simple "for now," and allows them to climb down the ladder to New Rome, but pleads them to not destroy his city.
The five demigods climb down a ladder and walk through the crowds of Romans to Reyna, the praetor, and Percy. Reyna starts to speak, but Percy and Annabeth run into each other's arms and kiss each other. She then suddenly slams Percy into the stone pavement, sending the Romans into a fury, and tells him to never leave her again. Jason then introduces the rest of the demigods.
After the introductions, Reyna calls forth the Centurions to discuss something and tells the spirits in the kitchen to prepare a welcome feast.
Octavian is flabbergasted that Reyna is letting the "intruders" into camp. Reyna dismisses him to go read his auguries and they go to the feast. Reyna calls a toast for friendship, and soon after all parties start to exchange stories about what they had been going through for the past year. Eventually, Octavian recites the Prophecy of Seven , but Annabeth interrupts him and finishes the sentence.
Tyson then calls for his brother, Percy, to tell him that Ella is scared. Ella starts mumbling about different ships that have sunk and notice Annabeth. Once she does she starts reciting a prophecy.
Because no one except for Percy, Hazel, and Frank know that she had once read the Sibylline books, they attempt to make it sound like she is spouting nonsense. After having convinced Octavian it was not a prophecy, Tyson and Ella shadow travel with Mrs. O'Leary to somewhere safe. After the ordeal, Octavian still does not trust the Greeks. In order to prove to Octavian that the Argo II is not dangerous, Leo takes Octavian on board the ship and shows him around.
Jason then asks Reyna if it is alright for him to show Piper around, oblivious to the tension between Reyna and him. Percy, also wanting to show Annabeth New Rome, attempts to leave, but Reyna stops Percy and tells him that she wants to talk to Annabeth privately. The girls discuss the differences between Minerva and Athena. Reyna denotes there are no children of Minerva at Camp Jupiter, and that if they were to come there, they would be artists — not warriors or leaders on quests.
Annabeth then realizes that she has met Reyna before at Circe's Island. They walk all the way to the Garden of Bacchus , which is Reyna's favorite place in Camp Jupiter, and appreciate the view. Reyna explains that she had wanted to talk to Annabeth to learn the truth. Instead of Annabeth feeling bad about her not being able to trust anyone at Camp, she talks about her family, growing up, and adventures in Camp Half-Blood.
Throughout the conversation, Reyna mentions that while she was on Circe's Island, she met a son of Athena, who washed up on the shore and rambled about the Mark of Athena. Then, a sudden, large explosion makes a crater in the forum of New Rome. The Argo II then proceeds to attack the city. Reyna and Annabeth rush down to the forum. Since Roman's are not allowed any weapons inside the Pomeranian Line, they start to throw food, rocks, and plates at the Greeks.
Piper and Jason try to calm the angry mob by telling them they would never attack New Rome, but fail. Annabeth then sees Percy using water from a fountain to dose the angry mob of Romans. Octavian comes down the ladder screaming that Leo has fired on everyone. Percy asks if Hazel and Frank are coming with them on the ship, to which the two say yes. Hazel calls for Arion and distracts the crowd by riding straight through it. Frank, in attempt to let Percy and Annabeth climb the rope, changes form into a dragon.
Once Percy and Annabeth are up, they are shocked to see a dazed and confused Leo reloading the weapons to continue firing.
Leo is tackled to the ground by Percy and falls on his head. Annabeth then takes charge of the ship and leaves Camp Jupiter as quickly as possible. Once Leo finally wakes up, he is questioned by Annabeth about why he set aim at the Roman Camp. Leo responds by saying that he has no idea why he did it. Leo talks about how he had felt a cold presence and does not remember anything from then on. Frank comes from below deck to aboard the Argo II and tells Annabeth that she should really come downstairs.
Before Annabeth leaves, she asks Frank to watch Leo. After a brief silence Frank asks Leo if he is sure that his name is not Sammy. Leo gives him a questioning look and tells him no. Leo tells Frank that he needs to do a damage report with Festus.
The two proceed to go check on Festus. As they walk up to Festus, the head does a degree turn to look at them. Frank, startled, screams that "it's alive". Leo continues to receive the damage report from Festus and states that they need tar, lime, and Celestial Bronze.
Festus notices that "AY-zuhl" is down below. Frank tells Leo that they need to land to pick up Hazel and Arion. Before they land, they do a scan to make sure they can find all the items in a nearby area. While the scan is happening, Annabeth and Percy walk back up to report that Jason is doing well and that Piper is watching over him.
While Leo is telling Annabeth about the damage report, Festus finds an area where all the items are. The area is Salt Lake , Utah. While descending everyone went downstairs to strap themselves in for an ugly landing, except for Coach Hedge who continues screaming, "Bring it on, Lake! Piper stays on board and waits for an unconscious Jason to wake up, alongside Coach Hedge. While searching for the bronze, Hazel and Leo encounter Nemesis , who gives Leo a fortune cookie, telling him to open it when he really needs her help but says that the help will also have a high price.
Hazel and Leo continue on, and come across Echo , who is trying to save Narcissus as both of them had been brought back from the Underworld. Narcissus is being obsessed over by nymphs, while he is staring at the reflection of himself through the lake, into a large sheet of Celestial Bronze.
Piper continues to take care of the unconscious Jason. Piper looks into her dagger, Katoptris , and sees many unsettling images such as a vision of a man in purple next to a Topeka 32 road sign and another man dressed in purple clothes.
