Summary
On Percy's sixteenth birthday, stood before the Olympians; he never followed the line of Athena's gaze, never saw Annabeth's stricken face after he was offered godhood, and so his impulsivity got the best of him. At that moment, overcome with guilt and fear, he thought only of all the lives he might save if he were more powerful.
ψ
Thalia fell into step beside her. “This isn’t supposed to be your job anymore.”
“Yeah, I thought that was the deal too,” Annabeth agreed.
“I don’t like the sound of it, this prophecy. Seven? When has seven ever been a good number for a quest? And only demigods. Giants can only be defeated by gods and heroes together. How do they expect seven demigods to defeat them? The gods are fracturing and we all know its only going to get worse.” Then a thought seemed to occur to Thalia, and her jaw went slack.
Annabeth could see Thalia had caught up. They both knew they were thinking of the same person, Annabeth could see it in her sister’s eyes; the image of a god that was purely Greek, undivided, with every reason to be involved in the progress of a demigod’s prophecy. They both knew he was sure to involve himself one way or another, he wouldn’t be able to help himself.

Summary
A mission gone bad leaves James Vega bitter and angry. To keep the guilt and pain away, he spends two whiskey-steeped weeks playing cards in the bars of Omega. When he hears that Commander Shepard has been accused of terrorism and will be court martialed, he is furious at the way the newscasters are so quick to demonize a hero. Little does he know that just outside the bar, a Spectre is waiting to escort him to Earth where he will be serving as head of security for Commander Shepard during the months of her incarceration.
He expects to serve dutifully and formally, but over the next few weeks, he learns that Shepard is more than a symbol, more than a hero. She’s a woman to whom he can give his heart.
