The Marked Hero of Olympus, Book 3

Annabeth is terrified. After being apart from Percy for six months due to Hera's interference, she is about to be reunited with him, but it appears that Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, they can understand the Roman demigods' suspicion of the ship, with its steaming bronze dragon figurehead and Leo's fantastical creation. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

However, Annabeth's worries go beyond the potential conflict. In her pocket, she carries a gift from her mother, Athena, accompanied by an unnerving command: "Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me." This adds to the weight of the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find and close the Doors of Death. Annabeth cannot help but wonder what more Athena wants from her.

Annabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he has become attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but she never wants to be without Seaweed Brain by her side again.

The impending arrival at Camp Jupiter is filled with tension and uncertainty. Annabeth is torn between the joy of being reunited with Percy and the dread of what may come. She must navigate the delicate balance between the Greek and Roman demigods, all while carrying the burden of Athena's command and the prophecy that looms over them.

The Argo II approaches the Roman camp, and Annabeth can't help but feel the weight of the situation. Will the Roman demigods accept their Greek counterparts, or will the tensions escalate into all-out war? Annabeth's heart races as she prepares to face the unknown, determined to find Percy and ensure their reunion is not overshadowed by the brewing conflict.

As the Argo II touches down, Annabeth takes a deep breath, knowing that the fate of both camps rests on their ability to overcome their differences and work together. With Athena's guidance and the support of her friends, Annabeth is ready to confront the challenges that lie ahead, hoping to reunite with Percy and find a way to avert the impending war.
