Chapter TWO: The Prophecy

"Okay, turn right… HERE!"

"PERCY! I missed it!"

"Sorry Annabeth, this map is seriously hard to read."

Annabeth was gripping the steering wheel tight, still thinking about what the Oracle had told her. Her palms were sweating and that stupid little voice inside her head wouldn't shut up.

"So, Annabeth… about this whole prophecy thing….",

"I know, Percy." sighed Annabeth. "It absolutely crazy but, then again, our whole lives are pretty damn crazy aren't they? I'm just shocked! I mean, I have a BROTHER? A WIZARD BROTHER. And, no one thought that would be anything important to mention to me?".

Earlier that month, the Oracle had called out to Annabeth, reciting a new prophecy. It said:

Beware the magical beings

For witch and strength do not mix

6 strangers will risk leaving

An odious fate conflicts

When faced with this puzzling Prophecy Annabeth confided in Chiron. She knew she could trust him but, she could not have ever prepared herself for what he then told her. Chiron, rather uncomfortably, informed her that she had another half-brother. This itself wasn't surprising news as, she had lot's of half-brothers and sisters. However, it would seem that this particular brother was, or rather is, in fact, a wizard!

"I mean…" Annabeth started drifting off into another world, "I grew up hearing storied about witches and wizards and… and… MAGIC! But, for it to be REAL? Crazy….".

Annabeth was seriously nervous. Percy and her were on their way to the airport. Chiron had, some what mysteriously, located all 6 witches and wizards AND even traced when their flight would be landing right here in New York city. It was, apparently, their un voluntary job to inform these 'magical beings" about the prophecy.

"And here we are…" stated Percy, "New York City Airport.".

Annabeth quickly parked and Percy immediately got out of the car and started towards the, intimidatingly large, building. Seeing that she was not following, Percy quickly doubled back to the car, opened the door and forcefully yanked Annabeth out of the car.

"C'mon Beth, you have fought MONSTERS for goodness sakes. I think you can face your 16 year old half-brother."

And with that, he promptly kissed Annabeth on the cheek and hurried towards the door as they were now seriously late.
