“You shall go west to face the god who has turned, you shall find what was stolen and see it safely returned, you shall be betrayed by the one you call friend, and fail to save what matters most in the end.” This is the prophecy Percy Jackson must unravel and solve. Percy Jackson is a hero; not only does he follow the hero’s journey but also he is brave and loyal. He never gave up no matter how many trials and challenges he had to face and in the end, it truly paid.

I had to stop the war. She would never forgive me if I saved her instead. I thought about the prophecy made at Half-Blood Hill, what seemed like a million years ago.
