[[WMG: Apollo will make a cameo, and mistake Magnus for Frey]]
It's not likely, given that their missions take place in separate areas, but it would be pretty funny to see the perspective of someone not in the loop reacting to a scrawny teenager claiming to be Apollo. Magnus would probably be a little bit disturbed by the fact that someone who looks younger than him can talk about how he went drinking with his dad and his sword, and how handsome he found his dad. And then Apollo will start ogling Magnus, which disturbs him even more.
[[WMG: If Percy accompanies Magnus, Jack will talk a lot about Riptide]]
Jack can hold conversations with regular weapons. Riptide is the most prominent weapon in the Greek books. He'll probably reveal that Riptide is female and used to be a hairpin. Maybe he'll even talk about how Riptide feels about being unable to be separated from Percy, or being a pen.

It's one of the more famous weapons from Norse mythology and it would also mesh well with Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, being the subject of the second book.

Deeply hoping this doesn't happen, but since the group now has the responsibility of re-binding Loki, especially Sam, both Sam and Alex feel responsible for Loki getting loose, and Riordan likes retelling the myths, just with a few different characters, it wouldn't be impossible for Loki's new bindings to be made with a sacrifice of Sam and Alex.

[[WMG: The Chases are Norse legacies.]]
Magnus' mom told him that the Chases were descended from Swedish royalty. On top of that, some of Randolph's comments and behaviour make it clear he's known and believed in the Norse gods' reality for most of his life. The Chases having multiple ancestors who were Norse demigods makes sense given this. It would also explain why Annabeth, who as a Greek demigoddess would not generally be expected to play a role in these events, ''is''. (Frey ''specifically'' told Magnus he was going to need Annabeth's help.) There's also the fact that this series introduces to the Verse the concept of families that tend to regularly attract divine attention. Sam says her family is one, and it's been all but stated the Chases are another.

soil. In any case, it would be interesting to eventually tie this back to Myth/MesopotamianMythology, the oldest mythology that we still have records of, which actually has it's version of Chaos, Tiamat, as an active force in the creation myth. Perhaps Tiamat will be the villain of the eventual MegaCrossover.

If the poptarts are one of the extant poptart flavors, they could be either "wild berry" or grape. Probably the former, since artificial grape is often notoriously gross and "wild berry" flavor would be a much better prompt for a "really, what flavor are these actually?" question.
