Hey this is my second story. Please read and review. Enjoy! Thanks to Percabeth777 for the help.
Percy's POV
It was a normal day at camp. I was in the arena sword fighting with Connor, until I saw my girlfriend approach me.
Annabeth wore her orange camp half-blood shirt and her blonde hair looked fell over her shoulders, making her look stunning. I was hoping for a hug, but she had a serious on her face.
"Chiron needs to meet us in the Big House," Annabeth told me.
I didn't ask questions, following her to the Big house.
Chiron was sitting at the meeting table when we entered. He didn't waste any time and got right to the point. "There is a quest," he told us with a thoughtful expression.
It was unusual for this to happen because the war was over, and I had finally thought we could get a break. "What?" I asked him, leaning forward.
Chiron took a breath. "There is some trouble in the underworld," He told us.
The first thing that came to my mind was to ask about Nico. "Is Nico okay?"
Annabeth fingered her camp necklace. "I don't know, Percy." She said
"This is why you and Annabeth need to go down to the Underworld immediately," Chiron said. I could easily see the distressed look in his eyes. "You have two days to pack and prepare."
I met Annabeth's eyes, and I knew what she was thinking. We had to complete the quest and help Nico no matter what it would take.
I was about to speak , when Chiron added. "But, you mustn't forget…one of you must visit the oracle."
It surprsided me when Annabeth stood up. "I'll do it." She said.
I gave her a look asking her if she was sure. "Trust me," she said. "I'lll handle it."
And, so Annabeth disappeared into the attic, leaving me and Chiron waiting in suspense.
When she finally came back down, after what seemed like eternity, she had a distressed look on her face.
I helped her back into her chair.
"What is it, Child?" Chiron asked her softly.
Annabeth looked hesitant but she recited the prophecy:
"Two shall travel to the land of the dead
There they shall face their inner dread
The greatest love will be put on a test
Met by another, all three will do their best
But in the end one will be put to rest."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
Chiron looked thoughtful. "It is all up to you and Annabeth now. You need to make your own decision."
Annabeth apparently knew what it meant. "We are the two who have to travel to the land of the dead, and met by another has to be Nico." She told me.
"That makes more sense." I told her.
Annabeth took a deep breath. I felt he grip my hand under the table, and I could tell that she was more worried than she would show. "Whatever happens I know that we will make thing alright."
And me and Annabeth left the Big House to pack our bags.
