Sorry for the wait, and it still may continue...like I said in my last post: I will continue my regular posting schedule on January 3.
Prophecies play a key role in the story. As you can see, to the left and to the right of this post, there is a picture of every book, followed by the prophecy it contains. Let's take a few minutes to talk about all of them!
The Lightning Thief
You shall go west, and face the god who has turned
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover travel west to find Zeus' Master Bolt. While searching, Percy faces Ares on the beach. We learn that Ares allowed the bolt to be stolen, and was following orders from Kronos
You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned
Percy finds the Master Bolt, and Hades' Helm of Darkness and returns them safely
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you friend
Luke, one who Percy views as a friend, betrays Percy by revealing he was the thief and was working for Kronos
And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end
Percy fails to save his friend, Luke, from Kronos' ways. It also may be that Percy failed to save his mother from the Underworld in the end
The Sea of Monsters
You shall sail the iron ship with warriors of bone
Clarisse sailed the CSS Birmingham with skeleton warriors
You shall find what you seek and make it your own
Clarisse, Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson find the Golden Fleece and take it from Polyphemus
But despair for your life entombed within stone
Clarisse is trapped in Polyphemus' stone caver with no way of escape
And fail without friends, to fly home alone
Clarisse would have failed without Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson, but she flew back to camp alone to get there faster
The Titan's Curse
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains
Zoe, Thalia, Grover, Bianca, and Percy (supposed to be Phoebe) go west to find Artemis (the goddess in chains)
One shall be lost in the land without rain
Bianca sacrificed herself in the desert to save everyone else against Talos (a defective prototype of Hephaestus' robot)
The bane of Olympus shows the trail
They followed the Ophiotaurus (the person who sacrificed him would have the power to destroy Olympus)
Campers and Hunters combined prevail
The only way the quest would be successful is if Campers and Hunters worked together
The Titan's curse must one withstand
The curse of holding up the sky must be taken by someone (Atlas--Luke--Annabeth--Artemis--Percy--Atlas)
And one shall perish by a parent's hand
Zoe was killed by her father, Atlas
The Battle of the Labyrinth
You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze
Annabeth, Percy, Grover, and Tyson enter the Labyrinth to find Daedalus
The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise
Nico raised the dead, Ethan Nakamura, the traitor, was spared, and Pan's message is raised
You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand
Nico decided to help Annabeth and the rest of the campers
The Child of Athena's final stand
Daedalus dies
Destroy with a hero's final breath
The Labyrinth was destroyed when Daedalus died
And lose a love to worse than death
Annabeth loses Luke to Kronos (very similar to last line of The Lightning Thief prophecy)
The Last Olympian (The Great Prophecy)
A Half-Blood of the eldest gods
Percy is the son of Poseidon (one of the eldest gods/big three)
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
Percy reaches sixteen despite the fact that he was almost killed numerous times
And see the world in endless sleep
Percy finds the entire city of Manhattan asleep from Olympus
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
Percy handed Luke Annabeth's knife, the knife Luke gave her when she was little
A single choice shall end his days
Percy had to decide if he should give Luke Annabeth's knife, or try to kill Luke himself
Olympus to preserve or raze
Percy's choice would result in either the destruction of Olympus or the preservation of Olympus
The Lost Hero
Child of Lightning, beware the earth
Jason, son of Jupiter, has to beware the awakening of the Earth (Gaea)
The giants' revenge the seven shall birth
The Giants rise to defeat the Olympians and cause the appearance of the seven half-bloods of the Great Prophecy (Prophecy of Seven) to begin to appear
The forge and dove shall break the cage
Leo, son of Hephaestus (the forge), and Piper, daughter of Aphrodite (the dove) work together to break the cage entrapping Hera
And death unleash through Hera's rage
Hera goes into her Divine Form and kills the monsters
The Son of Neptune
Go to Alaska
Frank, Hazel, and Percy traveled to Alaska
Find Thanatos and free him
Frank frees Thanatos by using his "life wood"
Come back by sundown of June twenty-fourth or die
The three returned to Camp Jupiter, and defend the camp from the invading forces
**This is not the actual prophecy, but is just something ordered by Mars**
The real prophecy was in the sibylline books, but was burnt. Part of it was read by Ella and recited as:
To the north, beyond the gods, lies the legion crown
In Alaska, beyond the gods sphere of control, the Roman Eagle is frozen in ice
Falling from ice, the son of Neptune shall drown
Since the prophecy is incomplete, this part is unknown. Some possibilities are:
As Percy believes: it refers to him drowning in Gaea's territory (earth) when he fell in the muskeg
As Frank believes: it refers to Percy drowning in Alaska after he falls off the glacier while battling the shades
As Hazel believes: it refers to Percy drowning his enemies, like he did with the shades
The Mark of Athena
Wisdom's daughter walks alone
Annabeth, daughter of Athena, must complete her quest alone
The Mark of Athena burns through Rome
The Mark of Athena (a coin) led Annabeth through Rome

Who holds the key to endless death
Nico has information about the Doors of Death (that the Underworld side is in Tartarus)

Won through pain from a woven jail
Annabeth won the Athena Parthenos by defeating Arachne. She did this by getting Arachne to weave a large finger trap in which she got stuck (a jail)
