Omega. The last letter in the Greek alphabet, and the symbol (or so it seems) of the new Camp Halfblood series, The Heroes of Olympus. I was asked what the symbol could mean in terms of the series, and let me tell you, I have theories.

The Omega stood for many things in the (Ancient) Greek speaking world. It was a letter, a syllable, and a number (800). The globular cluster, Omega Centauri, as you can see, has Omega included in it's name. It has a deeper meaning, though. What am I talking about, you ask? There can be only so many things that one symbol could stand for, you say? Well let me...

Hey, who's excited for The Mark of Athena!? *random crowd people shout and wave character flags*
Where did you get those? Nevermind. Well, this is Blitz here, ready to help interpret the words of Phoebus Apollo's Oracle of Delphi! *Rachel fans cheer*
Yeah, she's amazing, yadddayadddayaddda. Okay, so this new prophecy appeared at the end of the Last Olympian, as spoken by Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She jacks Blackjack, blah blah, is the oracle, more blah blah, and BANG! New prophecy! Well, let's hear it! :

Seven half-bloods must answer the call
To storm or fire the world must fall
An oath to keep with...

So for all those people who have been yearning for that Percabeth reunion. Rest assured that it will be coming in MoA.
And guess what? Rick says he usually doesn't write cliffhangers all the time. But this time MoA has a cliffhanger ending. Imagine how that would be! If some of his not so cliff hanger endings seem like worse cliffhangers to us - imagine how that would be!
And finally we know Nico has a key role in MoA! Yay!
And for those in this club who have been recently pondering about Calypso. Rick has an answer.

Here is the exact way he answered questions. Said he usually doesn't but since...

Aphrodite's Blessing is usually classified as the claiming of a child of Aphrodite.

The Blessing:

Piper McLean, the only child of Aphrodite that is seen being blessed by Aphrodite in the series.
On Aphrodite's children, the demigod is enveloped in a thick, pale red haze, and when it clears, the demigod's hair, face, clothes, etc. becomes perfect. No matter how the demigod tries to mess up his/her appearance, it automatically becomes perfect again. The blessing lasts anywhere from a day to a few weeks. When girls get the blessing, she will go under a pink haze and will then look the way that Aphrodite...

Piper~

My heart raced and felt like it was trying to eat itself. The barking and screaming from the dogs, Jason, and Leo faded behind me as sweat rippled down my face. Jeez, hope they're not dead. But Jason promised to keep them from danger, then started performing something that really could've scarred me.

This is the story of our trip to Mexico.

(Three days ago)

I was excited. This opportunity never really happens to a demigod! Three sweet days for a free vacation? Fine by me!

Long story short: I asked Chiron if Jason, Leo, and I could take a break. We'd been everyone's go-to for the last month...

Chapter 1
The Wand



    “No, Dad, please!” I screamed into my hands, my eyes full of tears. Hogwarts wasn’t a normal school, not that my family was normal, but I didn’t want to have any part in it. First we had to move all the way from New York to England, then a letter came telling me I’d been accepted at a school “for witchcraft and wizardry,” a boarding school, none the less.
    My dad held me on his lap. Being eleven, I was a bit old for that, but he’d let me anyway, “just this once,” he’d said.
    “I know...

So, The House of Hades is an underground temple in Epirus, Greece. That's where the Doors of Death are, in the mortal world, right?
Anyway, I have done some pointless research. So here you go:

I found out that the temple is called The Necromanteion, which means Oracle of Death. It's a temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone.
The site was believed to be the Doors to Hades, which lead to the realm of the dead (kinda like the Doors of Death).
People used to come here to call upon their dead ancestors and talk to them. O.o
According to tradition, the temple was located on the banks of...

I'm rewriting the 'Arena of Chaos' Would you guys read it?

Here is the summary:


It was the year 10000, the two Demi-God camps, Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-Blood, have combined, after the Giant war, and was renamed Camp Demi-God. The Greeks moved to Camp Jupiter as Camp Half-Blood was small so they went there. The camp has gotten bigger, with the help of the Gods. The entire camp was rebuilt. New Rome is now Athome, Athens and Rome. It is a city with a mixture of Greek and Roman structures. The Gods trust their kids now and fire users are common. Terminus still guards the borders. Romans still...
