Cover for Mark of Athena. Hehe

This is a fan-made cover for Mark of Athena. Of course, it's not the real cover. The real cover hasn't even been made yet... I don't even think the book is finished!

Mark of Athena Not-So-Much News

"For those waiting for Mark of Athena news, it will probably be the end of May or June before we reveal anything -- cover, sneak peeks, etc. We like to focus on one book at a time, so The Serpent's Shadow is up first in early May. After that, we'll get back to you on all matters Heroes of Olympus. Never fear though, I'm hard at work on Mark of Athena, though there is still much to do. Fingers crossed, it should be released on time this fall, but there is absolutely no chance it will be released earlier!" -Rick Riordan
:(
Oh well...

Robbery

http://rickriordan.blogspot.com/2012/02/looting-of-olympia.html

As you may know, Greece has been going through some major economical issues lately. A museum in Olympia got robbed. That's like, tons of history, right down the drain.

My Mark of Athena Hunches

Warning! May contain Last Olympian, Lost Hero, and Son of Neptune spoilers!

Hey! Sorry I've been neglecting the site lately :(.
But anyway, I have some new hunches for what's going to happen in Mark of Athena.
  • "An oath to keep with a final breath." I predict that that is referring to the oath that Chiron was talking about. He said something about swearing on the River Styx to never talk about the Roman camp. Well, now that is gonna be a little problematic since the camps are joining together. Chiron will be forced to break his oath, and an breaking an oath sworn on the River Styx is punishable by death. :( This makes me sad, because Chiron is cool.
  • Now that the Doors of Death are opened, LUKE might be smart enough to sneak through. I think he would be smart enough to find a way through. He could come back and help everyone fight Gaea. But I'm not sure how that would affect Annabeth and Percy's relationship.
  • Here's what we've all been wondering. HOW THE HECK ARE SAMMY AND LEO THE SAME PERSON? I think I've got it figured out. When Sammy died, he went to Elysium, but chose to be reborn so he could try for the 3 times reborn/Isles of the Blessed thing. So, Sammy, now Leo, looks exactly like he did before, but remembers nothing from his past life (River Lethe, remember?).
  • Then there's the issue of Reyna/Jason/Piper. Hmm.... What will happen? Catfight? LOL, NO, these aren't chick novels and I don't think RR would sink that low. Yeah, maybe Piper and Reyna will have a... Minor Disagreement. Then again, there was that thing with Piper and Drew. I mean, Piper basically claimed Jason! Just imagine her with Reyna! I'm Team Reyson/Jana.
  • Frank/Hazel/Sammy/Leo. Hazel will be broken. Seeing Sammy (or at least someone who looks like him) is just too much for her. It's gonna take her time, but I'm Team Frazel/Hank.
  • Jason/Percy praetor? Really, I think Reyna will vouch for Jason, cause you know, there are subtle references of them dating in the book. I don't think it will matter because they're going to Greece anyway. I believe Jason will respect Percy and Percy will respect Jason. No problems here, so no teams, haha:)
  • I just realized all this "Team" stuff sounds like Twilight (epic fail), but oh well.
  • The prophecy of the seven is obviously about Jason, Piper, Leo, Percy, Frank, Hazel, and Annabeth. (Most likely Annabeth, but you never know. I'm 100% sure about the others)
  • I'd like to share these suggestions written by "Lord Voldemort" (wow...) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111006091839AAbo136 I found this through Google and it's genius (mostly). I'm not a fan of his (or her, because this is DEFINITELY not You-Know-Who) Leo/Sammy theories though, although they could be true. I think his/her theory about Luke is a good one, but I don't think Luke would EVER fight on the bad guys' side again. He'd already been through the whole Kronos-fuse-with-your-body thing, and I don't think he would like to go through anything like that again. If Gaea did bring him back, he would probably play along, but later turn on her.
What are your predictions? What "teams" are you? (I'm not really into the whole team thing, but it is a cool idea.)
