Conner Stoll and the Half-bloods
The Prophecy
I walked into the big house, where Chiron had told us Head counselors to meet, I was head counselor of the Hermes cabin.
Chiron hadn't told us what he needed us for, so when I walked in. there was quite a lot of talking, everyone was excited but nerves.
I sat down besides Percy Jackson son of Poseidon, he was talking quietly with his girlfriend Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena.
Nico son of Hades was dangling a hotdog over the sleeping Hephaestus counselor Leo Valdese, it didn't seem to be working, Leo was still sound asleep.
Piper, daughter of Aphrodite was braiding Clarisse daughter of Ares hair.
Clarisse spotted me and smiled, I shivered, if there's one thing you don't want its a daughter of Ares smiling at you.
I was about to start reading my book on agriculture when Chiron wheeled in.
He cleared his throat and everyone stopped what they were doing, even Leo woke up and glared a Nico, who smiled at him sheepishly, Leo just took the hotdog from him and turned his attention to Chiron.
Chiron smiled "Thank you for coming, I'm afraid I have bad news."
Everyone sat forward waiting for him to explain.
"Rachael came to me last night with another great Prophecy."
"What is it?" Annabeth Chase demanded.
Chiron cleared his throat again and spoke the Prophecy.
"3 half-bloods shall answer the call,
to go beyond the great water fall.
In the grand canyon ye shall see what lies behind closed doors.
The world must fall to a greater force, that holds the key to eternity."
"Gruesome." Percy Commented.
"What does it mean?" I asked.
"Well this much is for sure." Chiron said "We'll have to go to the grand Canyon."
"Where's that at?" Annabeth asked.
Percy rolled his eyes "In Arizona of course, I thought we covered this in class last week!"
"Oh yeah." Annabeth said looking sheepishly at everyone.
Chiron cleared is throat "So which three will go?" he asked "It will be dangerous."
"Dangerous!" Clarisse exclaimed widening her eyes, "That rules me out! I'm not going to do anything that could get me killed." she twirled her finger in her hair.
Piper nodded "I agree with Clarisse, its to dangerous, this is a job for strong men." She said smiling at Percy. Annabeth glared at her not liking her attention towards Percy.
I raised my hand "I would like to go!"
Chiron smiled "Thank you Conner would you like to pick two companions, to go with you?"
I thought about that, My brother Travis would like to go but all he would do was end up crying. Percy had a big head already and Annabeth was to stupid and would mess everything up, Piper would be an interesting companion but...
"Hmm...I Think I'll take Nico and Drew," I said remembering that Drew daughter of Aphrodite wanted to go on a quest.
"Very well," Chiron said "Piper will you go tell Drew that she's been selected for a quest?"
"Sure!"
"Conner and Nico get your things packed, you'll leave first thing tomorrow!"
Please flame!
