But she can’t allow them to distract her from getting the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood before war breaks out between the Romans and Greeks. Reyna fears the ghosts of her ancestors, who radiate anger. He will complete his line of the prophecy: To storm or fire the world must fall. He may not know how he is going to prove himself as a leader, but he does know that he will not break promises like she did. Jason’s ghost is his mother, who abandoned him when he was little. But that might be better than the alternative: allowing someone else to die, as Hades foretold. Nico may actually become a ghost if he has to shadow-travel with Reyna and Coach Hedge one more time. Going through the House of Hades would stir the demigods’ worst memories.
