Death Part 1!

I've actually been wanting to do a post about this for a while now. Not neccessarily about who has died, but about who will die.

I think most, if not all of you will agree with me on this: At least one person will die in Heroes of Olympus Book 5. The main reason we all assume this is line 3 of the prophecy, An Oath To Keep With A Final Breath. Who will it be is the question.

Main Characters (7)

• Percy: I don't think Percy is high up on anyone's list of "who should die?" The only oaths I can remember Percy making are the one with Phineas (and that doesn't really apply anymore), and telling Annabeth that he'd stay with her/protect her forever (however, if this oath was to be broken, Annabeth would die); also, most authors do not kill off their main characters, so I would assume this line does not apply to Percy
• Annabeth: Annabeth is probably right next to Percy on that list of "who should die?" all the way at the bottom. I can't remember Annabeth making any oaths per say. The only thing that could be applied to Annabeth is what I said above: maybe, it isn't the person who says the oath that dies, maybe the oath is the cause of death; maybe Annabeth will be left by Percy for a minute, and she'll die (although extremely unlikely); all in all, however, I would assume this line does not apply to Annabeth
• Leo: I don't think it would be in Rick's best interest to kill Leo either. Although we've only known him for 2 years, he is definitely up there with Percy for "fan-favorite." He may be involved in something though, with his pyrokinesis, but we'll just have to wait and see.
• Piper:The only thing I can see with Piper is that she makes someone make an oath, or something along those lines. You know, with her charm speaking and such.
• Jason: Hmm, I don't really see anything here. I really dos doubt Jason will die, I don't see how he could. But we'll probably learn more about him in The House of Hades, assuming he gets a narrating role.
• Hazel: Hazel is definitely the one everyone is assuming this line refers to, and for good reasons. Everyone assumes Hazel will be the one to close the Doors of Death from the inside, therefore, dying, however, what oath does that keep? Unless in The House of Hades, she promises she'll do it, but that'd be too obvious. The other thing with Hazel is Frank's stick. She promised Frank that she'd protect it. What if this is it? What if she closes the Doors of Death with Frank's stick in her pocket? Would that release Frank from his curse?
• Frank: The only thing I can see with Frank is what I stated above, only in the reverse. The only oath he has been involved in thus far was with Hazel in regards to his stick. What if she gets it burned by accident? That would break the oath, and someone would die. That would technically work. Another thing with Frank could be involving Percy. Hera/Juno did say [along with a bunch of other people] that Percy's fatal flaw was he was too trustworthy/cared too much about his friends. What if Percy has to kill Frank, what if the only way to complete the quest is to light Frank's stick?

Please realize that more oaths could be made in The House of Hades

I'm going to post all of these characters tomorrow!
