#probably not tho bc pallas and athena were considered siblings

"why hasn't pjo!Athena just offed Percy if she hates him so much--"

because she looks at him and Annabeth and sees herself and pjo!Pallas. maybe she genuinely believes that by separating them, she could spare Annabeth the pain, knowing he was prophesied to die.

maybe, when his hair grows longer in Tartarus, and he comes back from months away, she can only see a daughter of the tides with curly black hair and the same, mischievous smile, and feel nothing but a distant ache in her heart.

maybe she looks over the ocean and remembers that she was raised there, unable to harm someone who is so similar yet so different from her.

someone raised away from home, taken by the arms of the sea after the biggest loss of her life. given away and neglected by her father only to be pulled back and called the favorite when the time comes.

maybe she spares Percy because she understands him.
