Percy and Hera's Problems are Intertwined in The Lost Hero

           I'm currently reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. It's the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. I'm not a big fan of Rick Riordan's books, but I decided to read it because I did like the Percy Jackson series, and this book is sort of like a spin-off series of that. Basically, the book is about three people--Jason, Piper, and Leo, who get sent to Camp Half-Blood because they're children of gods. Jason doesn't remember anything before he woke up at a wilderness school for troublemakers. Piper is positive that Jason is her boyfriend, but doesn't know why he can't remember anything, and Leo is a boy with ADHD who is positive that Jason is his best friend and Leo can control fire. All three of them have to go on a mission to rescue Hera, the goddess of gods. Also, Percy Jackson, a well known half-blood has been missing from camp for a long time and people are out looking for him. I think Percy Jackson disappearing has something to do with Hera being captured.

          The reason I think that it's connected is for a bunch of reasons. The first is that one of the 3 main characters thought they were connected, and whatever the main character says in the book is always right in Rick Riordan's books (He's so lame like that). I can't find the exact quote, but either Jason or Piper said that Percy being missing and Hera being captured are somehow connected. Rick Riordan always makes the main characters really special in some way, with some special power that no one has, and they are generally right about things. The way Rick Riordan writes makes things very predictable, so it's kind of clear that this is true.

          Also, the fact that Hera was captured and Percy disappeared seems like a big coincidence, so they have to be connected somehow. I think Percy is either also captured by the same person who captured Hera, which could be very possible because Percy is very powerful, and whoever captured Hera might have done it for her power, he might be fighting whoever captured Hera, because Percy Jackson is really powerful and goes on dangerous missions a lot, or he might have been the one who captured Hera. The last option is highly unlikely, but it would make the story a lot more exciting, and it's possible if Hera was trying to do something bad (because she has kind of a bad personality), Percy is a do-gooder, so he might be trying to stop her. These were all possible reasons I thought of that might be a reason that Percy being missing is connected to Hera being captured.

          This is why I think that Percy being missing is connected to Hera being captured. This is really important in the book, because Percy going missing and Hera getting captured are two problems that need to be solved, and if they are connected, then that would be a big part of the storyline.
