Without his Achilles blessing, Percy would never have survived the Titan War. Ā When his skin (excepting the small of his back) became like armor, he was invincible, therefore becoming the most feared demigod in the godsā army. Ā
He gave all that up to reach Camp Jupiter during The Son of Neptune. Ā The Tiber River wiped the blessing away, leaving him with his mortal vulnerability. Ā
I still donāt know if this has helped or hurt him, but whatever the case, I think we know he still has an Achilles heel. Ā Annabeth, essentially, was always the āmortal spotā. Ā In the Styx, he saw her, and she kept him mortal. Ā In a sense, his loyalty to his loved ones has always been his Achilles heel, and it will play a huge part in the battle to come. Ā
When the time comes, will he be ruled by his fatal flaw? Ā Or will he be wise? Ā I just finished rereading Last Olympian yesterday, and I have to admit- I donāt know if heād be able to think rationally if any of his friends were in danger. Ā Heās been throughĀ a lot.Ā At this point, I think all he really cares about is keeping his loved ones out of harmās way. Ā
