From the book The Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero:
"Hmm," Rachel said. "Because Hera is convinced we need both camps to win the war with the giants. Seven heroes of Olympus---some Greek, some Roman."
Annabeth nodded. "Your Great Prophecy---what's the last line?"
"And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death."
"Gaea has opened the Doors of Death," Annabeth said. She's letting out the worst villians of the Underworld to fight us. Medea, Midas---there'll be more, I'm sure. Maybe
the line means that the Roman and Greek demigods will unite, and find the doors, and close them."
"Or it could mean they fight each other at the doors of death," Clarisse pointed out. "It doesn't say we'll cooperate."
There was silence as the campers let that happy thought sink in.
"I'm going," Annabeth said. "Jason, when you get this ship built, let me go with you."
"I was hoping you'd offer," Jason said. "You of all people----we'll need you."
"Wait." Leo frowned. "I mean that's cool with me and all. But why Annabeth of all people?"
Annabeth and Jason studied one another, and Jason knew she had put it together. She saw the dangerous truth.
"Hera said my coming here was an exchange of leaders," Jason said. "A way for the two camps to learn of each other's existence."
"Yeah?" Leo said. "So?"
"An exchange goes two ways," Jason said. "When I got here, my memory was wiped. I didn't know who I was or where I belonged. Fortunately, you guys took me in and I found a new home. I know you're not my enemy. The Roman camp--- they're not so friendly. You prove your worth quickly, or you don't survive. They may not be so nice to him, and if they learn where he comes from, he's going to be in serious trouble."
"Him?" Leo said. "Who are you talking about?"
"My boyfriend," Annabeth said grimly. "He disapeared around the same time Jason appeared. If Jason came to Camp Half-Blood---"
"Exactly," Jason agreed. "Percy Jackson is at the other camp, and he probably doesn't even remember who he is."
"Hmm," Rachel said. "Because Hera is convinced we need both camps to win the war with the giants. Seven heroes of Olympus---some Greek, some Roman."
Annabeth nodded. "Your Great Prophecy---what's the last line?"
