Chapter 41 Summary: “Piper”

There is an ice storm in July. Nico blames the scepter, but Piper fears it’s something worse. Frank, Hazel, and Nico go below deck because of the cold. Leo has shut the ship’s engine Festus the dragon down for maintenance. Jason, Piper, and Leo reflect on their quest together. Piper considers how different Jason and Leo are after going through hardships, and she doesn’t feel the same either. Piper has been thinking about the Prophecy of Seven and the line to storm or fire the world must fall. The world in Greek means Earth (Gaea), so Jason (storm) or Leo (fire) must destroy Gaea. Piper connects that with the later line, an oath to keep with a final breath. Piper thinks it means Jason or Leo will defeat Gaea and the other will die.

Chapter 42 Summary: “Piper”

Leo starts to dissect Piper’s words while Jason cautions them not to think too hard about the prophecy. Piper hopes she’s wrong, but the quest started with them, so the war will probably end with them. She smells something familiar in the air and tells Leo to sound the alarm, but he can’t because Festus is disconnected. Piper tells him to get Greek
