Axon

Axon ran towards the amphitheater of the camp. Chiron said he had a big announcement, which doesn't occurs very often, unless someone is going on a quest. Everyone was very excited and curious about the sudden announcement. He sat on the second row of seats that belonged to his cabin.

Cabin 7 only had four children of Apollo. Landon was it's counselor, he was the oldest. Then there was Victoria, Ellie and Axon. They were all very talented and athletic,plus, friendly and loveable.

Chiron shut everyone up and began his speech "I gather you all here because we have received a message of the gods." everyone started to whisper theories. "Silence!" Chiron yelled. "I'm not the one who should tell you though. So, cabin 11 contain yourselves. Campers, I present to you the messanger of the gods, Hermes."

There were some fireworks and a man in his twenties appeared flying, everyone applauded. When he reached the ground everyone got up and bowed to him.

"Sup, my children? Looking good!" he saluted his kids. He looked at the other campers and mumbled something. "Other campers... Anyways, this very exciting. I have a message, but you might already know."

Actually Axon has already known about a message from the gods, for a long time, because of his gift for prophecies.

"So, here it goes. I was sent here by Poseidon himself and Zeus to tell you about a very important missing demigod. The demigod missing is no other than Poseidon's daughter. He just suddenly remembered her and he has something very important to discuss with her so she has to be on Mount Olympus by the next Solstice. So you got two weeks."

Everyone was silent. Axon looked at Landon and they exchanged confused expressions.

"So, uhm... Ah! Because Apollo is her godfather and I'm told his children will be useful, two Apollo's children will have to go." Hermes told them.

Landon stood up "I, conselour of Apollo's cabin offer myself to go on the quest."

"Excelent, anyone else?" Hermes asked.

"I!" Axon offered.

"And...what's your name?"

"Axon, uhmm... sir?"

The Hermes children laughed at him and Axon closed his fists irritated. He didn't like anyone mocking him.

"Please, I'm not old..."

"Yeah, you just have 10000000000000000 years." one of his children told him.

"You open your mouth again, Argus, and I'm gonna go there and show you how old a 100000000000000 year old man is." Hermes laughed, then he seemed to remember what he was doing there "Oh by the way, She's in Europe and her name's Aquarius."

"I think we should call Percy." someone from Athena cabin suggested.

"I don't think he's very available at the moment, but ya know... can't ya send another Poseidon's kid?" Hermes asked.

Chiron looked at him with an "Are you serious?" expression. "I am afraid there hasn't been any son or daughter of Poseidon born within the last few years." he told Hermes.

"Wait!" Layla said.

Layla Green was the oracle of camp half blood. She is sixteen and very mortal.

"There is one. I've had this dream a few days ago, it didn't make much sense then but it does now. There's another child of Poseidon but I am not sure."

"You are not sure of what?" Landon asked. He's usually very good with prophecies.

"If he's still alive or not." there was another round of whispers between the campers.

Ellie told him about a dark haired boy with blue eyes that appeared last night in her dream. Axon promised her to review it with her after the discussion. Hermes was flying around, humming a song while observing everyone trading ideas.

He landed when everyone shut up "I wasn't told about any other demigod. I'm just here to recruit some folks. For now we already have two Apollo's children, anyone else?"

"Maybe some Athena child should go!" yelled one of the Aphrodite's child.

"Yeah, why not an Ares child?" yelled the counselor of Ares cabin. That started a very loud and long argument about who should go.

Only after two and a half hours there was a team of demigods for the quest. The demigods were, Landon, Axon and Alexis the counselor for the Ares cabin.

"Right. Now that everything's settled I must go, but good luck demigods, you'll need it." after that said and some tearful Hermes children, Hermes flew away.

Chiron sent everyone to bed, except the three demigods for the quest and the oracle. Axon said goodbye to Ellie and Victoria and followed Landon and Alexis towards the stage.

"Come here heroes. This doesn't happen very often and you all must know that no quest from the gods is ever easy."

"Why do you think he needs her so much? And if she's Poseidon's daughter doesn't that mean she's very powerful? Therefore, mustn't she be dead?" Alexis asked him.

"It is very strange... Layla?"

"I don't know much, only that what I've told you about the boy. The dream wasn't very clear, it was like he was trapped, alive but not really."

"Don't you have any big prophecy or anything?" Landon asked her.

"Nope. I'm sorry. I wish you all luck, though." she turned to Alexis and shook her hand, also Landon's but when she touched Axon's hand something went wrong.

Her eyes went green and a green mist twirled around her. She spoke in a deep, raspy voice, like a serpent.

"The raven will fall for the dolphin

The fire will try to stop the water

The god will bleed

Love will be spilled."

The grip on Axon's hand relaxed and Layla came back to normal.

"Are you ok?" Alexis asked her. Layla nodded her head.

But no one asked Axton hoe he was and he was very confused and scared. Chiron was mentally analyzing the prophecy.

"I'm sorry Axon." Layla apologized.

"It's ok." but Axon was breathing heavily. He tried to control himself, he wasn't going to have a panic attack. Not now. he told himself.

"You leave tomorow." Chiron warned them. "Get a good night sleep, tomorow at four a.m you'll take the transportation Hermes left you."

Everyone separated without saying another word. Layla ran after Axon and pulled his arm.

"Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to scare you." she told him.

"It's ok." he shrugged. "I'm used to it."

"Do you know what it means?"

Axon hadn't really thought about the prophecy. He was more worried about the horrible sensation he felt when Layla grabbed him.

"Problems." Layla shook her head.

"Danger."

Axon nodded and turned his back on her. He wanted to sleep and forget the horrible feeling he was having. He walked back to his cabin and as soon as he crawled into bed, he fell asleep.
