![]() Nevertheless, Annabeth had spent every spare moment scouring all sources for any rumors of Percy. Rachel the Oracle had tried to read the future, and while she couldn’t see much, she’d been certain that Leo needed to finish the Argo II before they could contact the Romans. He seemed to have disappeared from the planet. Jason had remembered his old camp’s location more or less, but all the Greeks’ magic-even that of the campers of Hecate’s cabin-couldn’t confirm that Percy was there, or anywhere. By then, Annabeth had reason to hope Percy was alive, since Hera’s plan seemed to involve sending him to the Roman side, but she couldn’t be sure where he was. During those long months when Percy was missing, Annabeth made the trip at least once a week-partly to give Sally Jackson and her husband Paul an update on the search, and partly because Annabeth and Sally needed to lift each other’s spirits and convince one another that Percy would be fine. ![]() Annabeth had been riding the subway back from the Upper East Side after visiting Percy’s mom. Even after so many weeks, the words still stung. She didn’t want to, but she recalled her argument with her mother. But the more she thought about the Mark of Athena, and the old Roman legend Reyna had mentioned, the more nervous she got. Now she might get her wish, if they lived long enough to reach Greece. She’d always yearned to visit it, both because she loved architecture and because it was the most famous temple to her mother. She sat on her bunk, using one of Daedalus’s 3-D-rendering programs to study a model of the Parthenon in Athens.
