* DramaticIrony: Like May Castellan before him, Halcyon Green looks into Luke's future and sees his tragic fate. Though he does his best to help by [[ScrewDestiny warning Thalia]] and giving Luke the diary so he can reflect on his decisions, he is ultimately unable to stop fate.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Hal reads Thalia's future, he promises her that "[she] will find [her] family again." Thalia insists that she would never return to her mother, and Hal gently tells her [[Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus that that isn't what he meant.]]
Added DiffLines:
* ScrewDestiny: Thalia's reaction to Hal's prophecy about Luke. She's furious with him, and refuses to even consider the possibility of Luke betraying someone.

The story is about Alabaster trying to kill his half sister the monster Lamia, who's been attacking for several months and will not stay dead. The story is told by the POV of Dr. Claymore a [[{{Muggle}} mortal]] ally of Alabaster.

The short story ''The Diary Of Luke Castellan'' is a passage from the diary of Halcyon Green's diary; though the passage is written by Luke as the title implies. The story reveals a moment of Luke's earlier days back when he was traveling with Thalia before they got to Camp Half-Blood. The story begins with Luke and Thalia following the goat Amaltheia; one of Zeus's sacred animals, due to Thalia believing that she's a sign from her father, Zeus. This led them into discovering, entering and being trapped within Hal's mansion with several [[OurMonstersAreDifferent leucrota]].

''The Demigod Diaries'' is a companion book for ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'', much like how ''Literature/TheDemigodFiles'' was for ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians''. Within it are three [[ShortStory Short Stories]]: ''The Diary Of Luke Castellan'', ''Percy Jackson And The Staff Of Hermes'' and ''Leo Valdez And The Quest For Buford'', all from the [[PointOfView POVs]] from the short stories' TitleCharacter. There's also a story written by Creator/HaleyRiordan, the ''Son Of Magic''. Along with these stories is a letter from the [[Creator/RickRiordan Senior Scribe of Camp Half-Blood]], a interview with George and Martha (Hermes's snakes), maps of both Hal's House and Bunker 9, games and various pictures including some official pictures of some characters.

The short story ''Percy Jackson And The Staff Of Hermes'' begins with Percy and Annabeth relaxing together in Central Park. Annabeth reminds Percy that it's their one month anniversary with Percy failing to take her out for a special dinner, like he promised. Luckily for Percy they're interrupted by the god Hermes. Hermes's then quickly enlists their help in retrieving his staff; the [[MagicStaff caduceus]], which was stolen by the giant Cacus.
The short story ''Leo Valdez And The Quest For Buford'' takes place between ''The Lost Hero'' and ''The Son of Neptune''. In it Leo is forced to seek the help of his friends Jason and Piper in [[ItMakesSenseInContext finding the table Buford when he runs away after being polished with Windex]]. The reason this is so important is because Buford has within his drawers the device he needs to complete the Argo II's engine. To make things more difficult though the three have only one hour to do to ring Buford and get the device he's carrying into the Argo II's engine or else it will explode destroying Bunker 9, most of the woods of Camp Half-Blood with a 35% of more being destroyed. It also doesn't help that some [[NatureSpirit Maenads]] are in the woods looking for Dionysus.
