Does anyone realize how scary this song is? Charon knows there dreams and that's creepy. I mean, just a bit.

At the end, where it is talking about their biggest fears, it also correlates to Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, along with Nico, Hazel, and Bianca. And they all accomplish the opposite of what Charon says they will. "You ain't ever gonna save what matters" Percy: talking about his mom, he ends up saving her from the underworld. Nico: Bianca, although he never ended up saving her, she wasnt what mattered most. He ends up saving Hazel from the underworld, the last demigod in the prophecy of The Seven, without her, they would have never won the war and Gaea would have won. Also, in TLO, he saved Percy from Hades confiment so he could bathe him in the River Styx and get him back above so he could fight the war. Without Percy. Neither wars would have been won. "You ain't gonna protect your friends." Grover: Ofcourse, he does. Many times. Without him, they would have never been able to succeed on the many quests Grover joined and protected them on, therefore, without him, the second titan war would have never been won Bianca: She protected all of her friends by sacrificing herself so they could leave the Junkyard of the Gods. Her sacrifice is what helped the quest be finished and won the war. She also protected Nico by not answering his calls, also protecting camp by doing that, so Nico wouldn't hold the dangerous grudge against Percy and the gods for his sisters death. "You ain't gonna be remembered" Annabeth: She does in fact, get remembered. Architect of Olympus, only child of Athena to find the Athena parthenos, 2 timed war Hero, one of the Seven, and perhaps even more. One of the greatest heros of all time, she will be remembered. Hazel: She didn't get remembered for stopping the rising of Alcyoneus, and almost wasn't remembered at all for a while, and she knew it was gonna stay that way, until Nico saved her from the underworld. She was remembered as one of the most important demigods of The Seven. The same could even apply to Piper, Leo, and Jason
