Percy Jackson and The Olympians - The prophecies unravel throughout the story.

The Lightning Thief-
1. The group, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth, travel west and Percy fights "the god who has turned", Ares.
2. Percy finds and returns Zeus's Lightning Bolt. (Percy finds Zeus's lightning bolt in a backpack given to him by Ares and returns it to Zeus, as well as Hades's Helm of Darkness, which was also in the possession of Ares.)
3. Percy is betrayed by Luke, a son of Hermes, who stole both Zeus's Lightning Bolt and Hades's Helm of Darkness.
4. In the end, Percy fails to save his mom, but only because he'd let her save herself, and he knew that was the right thing to do.


The Sea of Monsters-
1. Clarisse sailed aboard the CSS Birmingham with dead confederates.
2. She finds the Golden Fleece and takes it from Polyphemous.
3. She was imprisoned inside a stone cavern and could not escape.
4. She would have failed without Percy and the rest's help, and she flew back to camp alone to get there faster.


The Titan's Curse-
1. The group consisting of Zoe, Thalia, Grover, Bianca di Angelo, and Percy (originally Phoebe) go west to find the goddess in chains, Artemis, and eventually find Annabeth
2. Bianca sacrificed herself in the desert to save the group against Hephaestus's robot, Talos .
3. They followed the Ophiotaurus, which was the Bane of Olympus because of its power as there is power in killing the innocent.
4. The group that took the quest consisted of 3 campers and 2 hunters
5. Percy withstood the Titan's curse (holding up the sky).
6. In the end Zoe was killed by her father, Atlas.


The Battle of The Labyrinth-
1. Annabeth, Grover, Percy and Tyson enter the the endless maze, which is the Labyrinth.
2. Nico raised the dead; Ethan, a traitor, was spared; the spirit of Pan, the lost one, was raised.
3. 'The Ghost King' was Nico, who decided to help Annabeth and the rest of the campers.
4. A child of Athena's final stand refers to Daedalus dying in order to destroy the Labyrinth.
5. The Labryinth was destroyed with Daedalus's last breath.
6. Annabeth loses Luke to Kronos, since he becomes Kronos' host body, which is worse than if she would have lost him if he died.


The Last Olympian-
1. Percy was a half-blood child of Poseidon, one of the eldest gods.
2. He hit his 16th birthday, despite all his near death experiences.
3. Morpheus (the god of dreams/sleep) put every mortal in Manhattan to sleep.
4. "The hero" does not refer to Percy, but to Luke, whose soul was reaped by Annabeth's knife, cursed because of a broken promise.
5. Percy's choice to give Luke the knife allowing Luke to kill himself and therefore destorying Kronos ended his days (Kronos isn't dead).
6. Olympus was preserved because Luke decided to sacrifice himself to destory Kronos.
