The Prophecy
It was a warm sunny afternoon. I was walking with Percy back to CampHalf-Blood with Percy after a peaceful lunch of cheesburgers, Percy's of course blue.
Once we entered Camp, Chiron spotted us and galloped over. He said once he reached us, "Annabeth! Rachel just spoke of a new prophecy. It involves you going to a school to protect a boy from-"
He was cut off by Percy. "Woah, hang on," he said. "Did I just hear you say that Annabeth is going on a quest? Alone?! Are you crazy? We're trying to relax after the fight with Gaia and falling into...the pit. What if there are still monsters out there waiting to kill Annabeth?"Percy was breathing heavily by now.
I muttered, "I'm still here, you know."
Chiron looked symphatetic."I know... But you should probably hear the prophecy first." He led us to Rachel's cave. Rachel saw us coming in, and Chiron nodded at her. "The prophecy please, Rachel."
Rachel closed her eyes, and a creepy green light swept in to the room, swirling around her. She opened her mouth, and recited the prophecy:
Child of the owl, must step forth to the school of magic.
Protect the boy marked by lightning
Soon, will be found dancing with sea.
Distracted she will be, but shall not fail.
Loved one will join her soon, cause of false information
But he will assist to defeat the cursed man of death.
After the last word, Rachel collapsed, and I moved forward to catch her. I propped her against her tripod, and Percy and I stared at each other, wondering about what the prophecy could possibly mean.
