not to get emotional or anything but the way that percy, annabeth, and grover’s lives are literally all connected by the end of tlo….im sobbing.
obviously we have percy’s life connected to grover’s through the empathy link. if percy dies, grover dies, and vice versa.
but then we also have percy’s achilles spot which connects him to annabeth, and I have to wonder….if the one thing that kept percy mortal happened to die, what would happen to percy? would he also die? would he become vulnerable again? (I need answers.)
and then, something I completely forgot about until this morning, annabeth swore on the styx to protect percy…
which means that, if percy dies, so does annabeth because her life is now connected to his through this promise on the styx.
going with my theory that percy would die if annabeth did because of his mortal spot, if any one of these three dies, so do the other two.
if grover dies, percy dies because of the empathy link, and annabeth dies because of her promise on the styx. if percy dies, grover dies because of the empathy link and annabeth does, again, because of her promise. if annabeth dies, percy dies because she’s his tether and there’s no longer anything keeping him mortal, and then grover would die because of the empathy link.
i am absolutely dragging myself through grading my last 6 papers, it is 9:30pm, and one of my favorite students has just used the phrase “Satan and his Gucci gang” in his milton essay
