The second prophecy began like this: It was just a normal frosty winter day at camp half-blood. Chiron and Dionysus were on the porch of the big house playing pinochle when suddenly Jake from the Hephaestus cabin came trudging up to them, he was breathing so heavily from running in the cold, he could barely talk: "You're- needed- at- Hades cabin!" Seeing how urgent it was, Chiron drug Mr. D to the Hades cabin, where Nico di Angelo lived. As they approached they saw that most of the campers were huddled all around the door-way. Chiron pushed his way through them and saw what the commotion was all about. Nico was standing shocked over Bianca, his sister who had been dead for around three or four years. "I-I really d-don't kn-know what ha-happened." Nico stuttered. Chiron didn't know what to say so he just took Bianca by the hand and lifted her up on his back, along with Nico,and rushed off to the big house, calling all the cabin leaders to go with him.
As they all stood around the table, Nico asked his sister: "Bianca? BIANCA! Can you talk?" She just stood there, looking like she had just seen a ghost- which wouldn't have been surprising, because she had just come up from the under-world. He quickly ordered for the rest of his cabin-mates to go get some hot chocolate and some food. When they came back, he fed her some food and had her drink some hot chocolate. Then she finally managed to say some words to him: "He is coming!" "Who is coming, Bianca?" Percy asked her, but she wouldn't say any more. So Chiron ordered for her to be taken to her cabin.
Later on, Percy came to discuss this with Annabeth. "What do you think she meant? I mean, saying: He is coming, doesn't really narrow it down to anyone. Before she could answer, someone else spoke: "Well hello, Percy, Annabeth. How are you two doing?" It was Hermes, the messenger of the gods. "Could I talk to Percy alone please?" he asked. "Yeah, sure." Annabeth replied. Then she walked off. "Percy, You have been summoned by your father to come to his palace. He said it is EXTREMELY important."He said. "Ok. When does he want me?" "right now." Hermes replied. " Oh, ok. I will just be leaving then." "Good idea, he sounded really angry. But don't let that scare you." (Percy's point of view) Right before I started to leave he added: "Oh, and he sent you a friend to help you navigate there, seeing as you have only been there once, and then you weren't even trying to get there. So, bye!"
When I got to the sea shore, I found a fully armored Hippocami waiting for me. I wasn't so sure about this, was it leading me into battle? I sat on it's back and it immediately started to go underwater. When we got to dad's palace, I got off it's back, and gave it a sugar cube that I don't remember putting in my pocket. My thoughts were somewhat right, that is to say, there were people arguing everywhere. And I don't mean a soft: I don't want to do this or that argument, I'm talking a fully raged heated argument. But there were so many all around I didn't know what about. I just started casually walking towards the top tower where dad usually was, And found him waiting for me with a crease on his forhead, but it looked more like worry than anger.
