The Leucrotae are held off by a gate that will open at 7:00 and devour the children. In the meantime, Hal uses his abilities to predict the children's futures. Thalia will die, but live on afterwards (as seen in The Sea of Monsters and The Titan's Curse ), while Luke will be involved in some kind of betrayal (as seen in The Lightning Thief ...
