The Mark of Athena-- Conspiracy Theories

posted by universalpowa

The Mark of Athena Official Cover. Ohmicheese.

*WARNING- SPOILERS*

Heyoooo! So what’s this? :O Ricky already released the sneak peek chapter? Percabeth reunion? Answer to first: Yes. Answer to second: No.
Yeah, I was pretty upset about the whole -No-Percabeth-reunion-Rick-how-could-you-I-am-so-mad-at-you-and-want-to-read-that-book-so-flippin’-bad thing. Oh well. Rick loves to troll us.

So yeah, I’m totally psyched and pumped for this book...I mean, really. This one is supposedly “Rick’s favorite” as he said on the HoO Disney/Hyperion website.

So, looking at the cover, all I can think is OMG BLACKJACK IS BACK! Yeah that’s me...

Omega. What the Hades does it mean?

posted by Amphitrite

Omega Centauri

Omega. The last letter in the Greek alphabet, and the symbol (or so it seems) of the new Camp Halfblood series, The Heroes of Olympus. I was asked what the symbol could mean in terms of the series, and let me tell you, I have theories.

The Omega stood for many things in the (Ancient) Greek speaking world. It was a letter, a syllable, and a number (800). The globular cluster, Omega Centauri, as you can see, has Omega included in it's name. It has a deeper meaning, though. What am I talking about, you ask? There can be only so many things that one symbol could stand for, you say? Well let me...

Who is Reyna?

posted by Phoenix_Stone

We know nothing about her!
I want to know if people have any theories.
So, I shall ask some unanswered questions..
..unless they have been answered already, and I've just forgotten.. xD
These questions could possibly be answered in the next 3 books. ;)

So here are the questions:

1. Who was Reyna's father, and why was she at Circe's Island and not with him?

Bellona had two children from the same man, so maybe it's normal for Roman demigods...
I think he could've died when they were children, so Bellona sent them to Circe's Island.
...Or maybe their father had arrived at Circe's Island when Hylla and...

Rick Rioradan reveals some things about HoO series, Percabeth reunion, Nico's role and Calypso.

posted by Reyna4ever25

So for all those people who have been yearning for that Percabeth reunion. Rest assured that it will be coming in MoA.
And guess what? Rick says he usually doesn't write cliffhangers all the time. But this time MoA has a cliffhanger ending. Imagine how that would be! If some of his not so cliff hanger endings seem like worse cliffhangers to us - imagine how that would be!
And finally we know Nico has a key role in MoA! Yay!
And for those in this club who have been recently pondering about Calypso. Rick has an answer.

Here is the exact way he answered questions. Said he usually doesn't but since...

Myth Behind the curse of Frank

posted by _Aphrodite_

I have a book about Greek Mythology. It talks about heroes and monster and of course the gods. But I notice one story was similar to Frank Zhang.

I'm going to summarize it for you.

A women name Althaea, daughter of King Thestius and Eurythemis.Althaea had five sons, but one named Meleager was cursed when he was a baby. The Fates visited Althaea and told her that the wood in the hearth is her son Meleager's life span. After the Fates leaved, Althaea took the wooded from the hearth and placed it in a wooden chest.

After many years have past, Meleager killed his two brothers in an argument. So Althaea took the wood of her son life span and placed it in the fire. Then, Meleager died.

But, it has also said Meleager was mention as one of the Argonauts like Frank.

Differences:

In RR story, it was Hera that warned them.
Second, Frank mother is not going to kill him.
Frank might die in the Giant War.

Like Only Yesterday (fanfiction)

posted by hisblueeyes

“Bianca? Bianca, honey, where are you? Come down this instant!” I heard my mother’s voice say from downstairs. I rolled my eyes and continued doing my makeup. Straightening my thick, dark curls was no easy task, and I had been up at dawn to do it. My strange grey eyes were absolutely hideous from my point of view, so I always used a colorful array of eye shadow so my eyes wouldn’t call attention. But of course, all these touch ups on my appearance took nearly forever, and my mom would usually get mad. Fortunately for me, my dad never did. I could hear him telling her to calm down, that...

There's Trouble Brewing! Who is the Mistress? (Week 1, H of O article series)

posted by Amphitrite

Eris

Have you ever heard of a bad apple? Well, the Olympians have one of those and she's even worse than her brother, Ares, believe me. This woman caused the Trojan war, she was the mother of all the evil little things that popped out of Pandora's box, and she helped a group of women murder their husbands! I'm talking, of course, about Eris (known in Roman myth as Discordia.) This woman is pure evil! She's like your bratty little sister, except a trillion times worse! It can safely be assumed that she could be the Mistress everyone is talking about.
I'll make this easy (on myself.) Lists. That's...

Songfic A thousand Years Christina Perri

posted by fusshi123

(HEYYYY umm this is a songfic about the percyxannabeth reunion(: The song really fits. This is a continuation from the mark of athena official chapter 1. Oh and please read the lyrics or listen to it first if you haven't. Enjoy~)

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will...

Enchanted with a story within the song

Hello my fellow friends, not friends, and people I don't know!!! I'm bored!! And I was listening to music on my phone when this song came on!!! I love the song! Its by Taylor Swift and its called Enchanted!!! I love it so I did this!!! Enjoy!!!
___________________________________________________________________

There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tiered lonely place

Walls of insincerity
Shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

You eyes whisper, "Have we met?"
Across the room your silhouette
Starts to make its...

Aphrodite's Blessing

posted by Blaze_of_Ares

Aphrodite's Blessing is usually classified as the claiming of a child of Aphrodite.

The Blessing:

Piper McLean, the only child of Aphrodite that is seen being blessed by Aphrodite in the series.
On Aphrodite's children, the demigod is enveloped in a thick, pale red haze, and when it clears, the demigod's hair, face, clothes, etc. becomes perfect. No matter how the demigod tries to mess up his/her appearance, it automatically becomes perfect again. The blessing lasts anywhere from a day to a few weeks. When girls get the blessing, she will go under a pink haze and will then look the way that Aphrodite...

Jason, Piper, and Leo's Mexican Dog Trouble

posted by 8xchristellax8

Jason, Piper, Leo

Piper~

My heart raced and felt like it was trying to eat itself. The barking and screaming from the dogs, Jason, and Leo faded behind me as sweat rippled down my face. Jeez, hope they're not dead. But Jason promised to keep them from danger, then started performing something that really could've scarred me.

This is the story of our trip to Mexico.

(Three days ago)

I was excited. This opportunity never really happens to a demigod! Three sweet days for a free vacation? Fine by me!

Long story short: I asked Chiron if Jason, Leo, and I could take a break. We'd been everyone's go-to for the last month...

Percy Jackson and Harry Potter Crossover Chapter 1

Chapter 1
The Wand

    “No, Dad, please!” I screamed into my hands, my eyes full of tears. Hogwarts wasn’t a normal school, not that my family was normal, but I didn’t want to have any part in it. First we had to move all the way from New York to England, then a letter came telling me I’d been accepted at a school “for witchcraft and wizardry,” a boarding school, none the less.
    My dad held me on his lap. Being eleven, I was a bit old for that, but he’d let me anyway, “just this once,” he’d said.

The House of Hades: A Random Information Article

posted by Phoenix_Stone

So, The House of Hades is an underground temple in Epirus, Greece. That's where the Doors of Death are, in the mortal world, right?
Anyway, I have done some pointless research. So here you go:

I found out that the temple is called The Necromanteion, which means Oracle of Death. It's a temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone.
The site was believed to be the Doors to Hades, which lead to the realm of the dead (kinda like the Doors of Death).
People used to come here to call upon their dead ancestors and talk to them. O.o
According to tradition, the temple was located on the banks of...

Demi-Gods 10K: Arena of Chaos

posted by Blaze_of_Ares

I'm rewriting the 'Arena of Chaos' Would you guys read it?

Here is the summary:

It was the year 10000, the two Demi-God camps, Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood, have combined, after the Giant war, and was renamed Camp Demi-God. The Greeks moved to Camp Jupiter as Camp Half-Blood was small so they went there. The camp has gotten bigger, with the help of the Gods. The entire camp was rebuilt. New Rome is now Athome, Athens and Rome. It is a city with a mixture of Greek and Roman structures. The Gods trust their kids now and fire users are common. Terminus still guards the borders. Romans still...
