since the first pjo series is meant to be percy detailing his accounts to a scribe who is writing them down for him, it would be funny if it turns out he never actually saw Annabeth solely in the river styx, but rather the whole group of people who have given a reason to continue fighting for his life - his mom, Grover, Annabeth and Nico - and either the scribe omitted it for ✨ romance ✨ or he just lied because he thought it would be romantic and that Annabeth would be happier if she was the only one who seemingly mattered to him in that moment

#happy talks pjo #percy jackson #honestly his tether to mortal life should've either been his mom or grover (empathy link - if one dies the other will die with him) or both #anyway the breakdown should be like this:#sally is his tether to a truly mortal human life. that's all she wanted for him as well. to be a normal human kid #grover toes the line between the two - sort of the same way he is both a goat and a human as a satyr #they met before percy knew he was a demigod and presumably as both Protector and Seeker he interacts with mortals frequently #annabeth represents his tether to demigod life and mythology - they met at camp. she hasn't been around mortals in years #she's the one who can't see life beyond being a demigod. beyond gods and prophecies.#and nico represents his tether to life in general - he is the reason percy took on the prophecy. why he bathes in the styx to begin with #he is the reason percy wants to live long enough to defeat kronos. one of many but arguably one of the most important ones #percy doesn't believe he will survive the final battle but damn if he's not going to ensure he takes down kronos with him #just to make sure nico is unscathed and unharmed
