Percy's POV
Percy started going for a walk in the forest away from camp, he felt that he needed time away from everyone else. Grover started to annoy him, Nico was always in his face, Frank annoyed him with his archery, Jason wasn't talking to him, Leo didn't want him for help on any project, and even Annabeth was starting to get on his nerves. He sat down next to a tree, looked around to make sure no one was following him, and slumped down.
There haven't been any quests to go on lately he thought to himself there's never really anything to do.
"Hey, Kelp Breath!" Percy heard a voice call out. There was only one person who called him by that name, so Percy knew who it was. It was Thalia Grace.
"What do you want, Thalia," Percy murmured as Thalia came running up next to him. "I'm trying to spend some time for myself to think."
"What do you have to think about?" Thalia asked. Percy didn't answer. "Well, whatever. Anyways, Rachel said that there's a new prophecy that suddenly appeared, I think you should check it out."
After the info, Thalia went back to camp with the rest of the hunters, leaving Percy by himself again. Percy thought about what Thalia said for a moment, and then decided to go back to camp. Perhaps he would be included in this "next prophecy". He was just itching for adventure.
Once Percy got back to camp, he noticed everybody was gathered around the big house. He squeezed his way towards the front of the crowd to see what was going on.
"Okay, everybody settle down." Mr. D said as Rachel walked onstage. "Our Oracle has something to say."
"Alright Demigods," Rachel said, once everyone quieted down. "I know everyone's been practically itching for adventure, because there hasn't been anything to do for the past few months. But I bring you both good news and bad news. The good news is, I have a new prophecy to present to all of you." Everybody cheered for the news. "Yeah, yeah. Quit cheering you bozos. The bad new is, only three demigods, as normal, are able to go on this quest." Everybody booed. "Luckily, there is an easy way to discover who is going to go on this quest. Now, has anybody's weapons started talking?" Every demigod gave confused stares. As if saying, "Is she for real?"
"Finally, it's my turn to shine." A voice said. The voice seemed to be coming from Percy's direction, but Percy didn't see anything.
"Okay you can take me out now." No one said anything. "Percy! Uncap me you numbskull!"
Percy realized that the voice was coming from his pocket. He pulled out Riptide and uncapped it. As he did so, Riptide didn't turn into a sword as he expected, but instead it turned into a human male. He had Short Black Hair, a white T-Shirt, and Khakis. He was also wearing tennishoes, he also had green eyes.
Everybody stared at this human Riptide. They couldn't believe that a sword actually became human. But there he was, right in front of them.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting in order to talk to you, bro." Riptide said as he stretched.
"Y-you walk, and talk." Percy stuttered
"Well, duh, how else do you think I get back to your pocket? Magic? Please, magic weapons don't exist in this world." All of the children of Hecate seemed offended by this statement.
"Well," Rachel stated. "We know one demigod who will go on this quest. Now who else?"
Maka's POV
Maka was bored. Without any kishin available to kill, there was nothing to do at the DWMA. She could hang out with Soul and the others, but she didn't feel like being around them for some reason. She definitely didn't want to be around her dad, Spirit. And based on his last lesson, she was trying to avoid Prof. Stein as much as possible. Maybe she could try to find Excalibur, just for the heck of it...She burst out laughing in the middle of the hallway. Others were avoiding her, giving her strange stares.
"Hey, Maka." Soul came up from behind her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She settled down. "What's up?"
"Nothing, you just started laughing. What were you doing?"
"I was just...thinking."
"Of what?" Soul put his hands behind his head.
"Trying to go and find Excalibur." There was silence, and then they both started bursting out laughing.
"Okay," Soul was catching his breath. "I know what you were laughing about."
There was suddenly static over the mirrorcom (is that what they're called). Lord Death appeared on every reflecting surface in the building. He then started talking, "Would these three meisters and their weapon partners please come to my room, please. Maka, Black*Star, and Death the Kid."
"Well, Maka, I guess we have to go." Soul smirked.
"You're right, Soul, come on." They hurried through the hallways to Lord Death's room. Once they got there, Black*Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, and Patty were already there.
"Ahhh," Lord Death said. "I'm glad you could make it."
"So dad," Death the Kid asked, "what did you call us in here for?"
"Yes, about that," Death turned around, showing his goofy skull mask. "I'm sure you know of Greek mythology, correct?"
"Of course," Maka stated, "That's where you and Medusa came from, correct?"
"In some manner." Death said.
"What do you mean in 'some manner'?" Soul asked.
"Well, what if I were to say that we weren't exactly from the mythology?"
"There's something you aren't telling us, dad." Kid spoke up.
"Well, that's besides the point." Lord Death quickly changed subjects. "There is a camp on Long Island that takes care of the children of the gods of Greek mythology."
"Wait," Black*Star interrupted, "gods can have kids?"
"Well," Kid answered, pointing to his dad. "He had me, did he not?"
"Ahem," Death tried to continue the original conversation. "As I was saying. I need the seven of you to go to this camp and find three demigods who just found out they are meisters or weapons. Once you do this, contact me and I will give you more information."
"Alright Lord death, we're on it." Black*Star said, "c'mon Tsubaki, ninja sword mode."
"Right," Tsubaki replied as she turned into a small blade in Black*Star's *Star then went out running. With Kid, Liz, and Patty right on his tail.
Maka was about to run out when Death stopped her. "Maka, Soul,"
Maka turned, "Yes, what is it Lord Death?"
"I should probably warn you that there is an invisible barrier around the camp. And it may not let you in. If this is so drink these." He handed them each three vials of a pink liquid. "Be sure to only drink one, and give the rest to the others. But only do so if you can't get in."
"But, Lord Death." Maka explained, "There's only six vials, and seven of us. One of us has to be left out."
"Think again," Death replied with his back turned. "Am I not the god of death?"
Maka thought for a moment, "What about Kid?"
"This barrier only allows gods and demigods to go through. I'm sure you understand what I mean."
Maka looked at Soul to make sure he understood, he nodded. "Right," Maka said. "Come on Soul, we've got some demigods to find.
