absolutely INSANE that in SoM chiron makes annabeth swear on the styx to look after percy, and invokes the great prophecy when he asks her like???? chiron what the fuck.

you can't tell me annabeth didn't think of this promise constantly over the next three years. she's read the great prophecy. she, chiron, and everyone else is expecting the prophesized big three child to die. and still, she promises to stay with percy. even if she knows, ultimately, that she can't keep him safe. she promises to stay and to try.
think about how devastated she felt in botl when she thought she’d lost him after mt st. helens, even before the great prophecy came true (she thought she had more time with him). she didn't stay with him (because he told her to go) and she thought he'd died because of it. she promised to keep him safe and she couldn't.
by some miracle, he came back to her, only for her to probably spend the next year dreading his sixteenth birthday, thinking she was going to lose him again. she thinks he's destined by prophecy to die, and she's destined to break her sacred promise on the styx to protect him. anyway.. chewing glass about it.
