So we have Xyden in search of Leith on a murderous quest, Leith who has happened to run into Annabeth and Ssarak, and Ssarak who is on a personal quest for redemption and is just looking for ways to be a hero.There are so many ways that this could turn interesting.

And this is failing to take into account the beefed up security as two nations eagerly looking for a reason to declare war on each other are there. There are more Golems, Demons, Angry sentient plants, and regular guards than ever before. That's not even considering what the other bloods have cooked up in the name of defense.

Provided Xyden is smart enough not to say aloud what he's planning before reaching Mar, all hell is going to break loose when he pulls the trident. 

Oh, and no one knows what students aside from Ssarak and Althalus are going to do.

Hell. It will break loose quite soon.
