I am Rachel Elizabeth Dare. My story didn't end when I became the Oracle. It had just started.

1. Prologue

I am Rachel

by Cici Bird (Lady Bird)

I am not Rick Riordan. He is and always will be a better writer than me. He has incredible talent, and he seems to know a lot. He's probably a son of Athena. Luucckkyy..... So, don't sue me! (I ain't Rick. My mom's Demeter!)

Prologue

I am Rachel.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare.

And before you hear my story, I want you to know a few things. So:

Most people think I was shipped off the Clarion Ladies Academy, then happily skipped back to Camp Half-Blood to spread my wonderful prophecies full of joy for the next fifty years. Wrong!

2 Being the Oracle isn't exactly the greatest job. Sometimes I watch all the Demigods, and I feel like there's an invisible wall between us. I've been excluded.

3. I am an artist, and as an artist, I am entitled to a studio at camp. The paints are in every color, the brushes clean themselves (no damned paint thinner!), and I can be in my happy place while everyone else is training.

4. I should have trained. I regret with all my heart that I didn't. Art is my passion, but when you get into the real world, where the monsters are, it does no help at all. Though it did help me handle my dagger. . .

5. I am in love with Percy Jackson. And if the Council ever knew, they would murder me. Literally.

I am Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and I am many things.

I am a Catholic Schoolgirl, with my socks pulled high and my hair in a ponytail.

I am an artist, with my colors and messes.

I am an Oracle, with words I don't know, and prophecies for heroes.

I am a forbidden lover, alone in the world.

I am Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and this is my story.

AN: That was the prologue! Please review!

So until next time,

be good,

be gracious,

be kind,

-Lady Bird
