After two hours Chiron came back, Thank the gods because Mr.D forced Hannah and I to play Poker since we didn't understand or know how to play the game that started with a P. I could barley say it and at first I thought it had something to do with ponies. Hannah laughed at that.

"Well girls" Chiron said "Karissa, your mother has not told Zeus or Aphrodite, but I'm sorry to tell you she plans on telling them tonight, I am slightly afraid to keep you here even though it is your first day, but your mother wants you to go on a quest. She expects you to be able to learn your powers on your adventure."

I looked at Hannah and my eyes widened, was he crazy? I would appreciate not dieing on my first day at camp thank you very much.

I swallowed hard "ok…..." I pursed my lips. "So don't we go to our cabins or something?" I asked curiously.

Chiron smiled crookedly, "Yes of course, but we would like you to meet our star camper, she's a child of Poseidon"

"Like Percy!" Hannah shouted.

Mr. D from the table glared at her "Chiron get these kids out of here, they don't know how to play pinochle, then I have already met them and I hate them" Mr.D scowled "Get them out of my site"

The horse man chuckled at Mr. D's insults I didn't think it was all that funny, I got out of my chair and got up just being at the table with Santa's evil twin was creeping me out. The only thing Mr. D was missing was the jolliness and white beard but he did have the big red nose. Wait, wasn't that Rudolph?

"Katie" Chiron called after he was done laughing "you can come in" a girl about 2 inches taller than me walked in. She had long brown hair with blue streaks and she had sea green eyes. She looked giggly but she had a scowl on her face that said otherwise.

The girl stood by Chiron and then Mr. D looked up from his cards. "Katie! My favorite camper!" he chuckled "glad you're here would you like to play Pinochle?"

Katie smiled at Mr. D how come he liked her? "Yeah sorry, I have to show these newbie's around, maybe later!" She laughed.

Mr. D picked up his diet coke at did a tiny nod at her and smiled then drank come of it. Then he went back to glaring at us. Joy!

"Well you girls have fun now! And don't forget about breakfast in 3 hours ok? And Karissa meet me back here after breakfast to talk about your quest" Chiron told us he patted me on my back and we followed Katie out.

* * * * * *

"First thing you need to know" Katie scowled at us "is stay out of the Ares camper's way"

I rolled my eyes "I'm not stupid!" I muttered.

Katie rolled her eyes back at me and Hannah stood there not really knowing what was going on. So Katie showed us the horse stables, the volley ball court, basketball court (which I totally love by the way), the Mess Hall and some other places. My favorite were the cabins, my cabin was a green house. I know that's a little weird I imagined it having more architecture, but it didn't. That made me jealous of Hannah's cabin it was bright bright bright gold! I thought all Apollo kids had gold eyes but turns about they all looked different.

We dropped Hannah off at her cabin and I kept walking with Katie "Why does it seem like you hate me?" I asked.

She stared blankly at me for maybe 3 seconds then said "I...dont hate you" she said in a preppy way.

"Oh yeah that voice is sooooooooo unhateful!" I muttered.

"Oh she's so stupid I thought she was suppose to be powerful or something" I heard Katie say. But it didn't sound like she said something.

"Did you say something?" I asked her.

She looked at me like I was stupid then the bell for breakfast rang and kids ran out of their cabins, and went towards the mess hall. I followed and joined my cabin mates. I made probably 3 friends in my cabin a boy named Blade a girl named Ella and another girl name Terra, I sat with them.

After breakfast I grabbed Hannah's hand before she left, "come on your going with me to the big house to get my prophecy" I told her. It startled her for a second but she nodded and we left.

We met up with Chiron at the door way of the house, "Are you ready Karissa?" he asked.

I nodded I was lying, first off I'm shaking like crazy, second, I'm still wondering why the Katie girl hates me and third, What was the oracle going to say.

Hannah hugged me "good luck" She whispered in my ear.

I nodded and Chiron pointed to where I needed to go. I shivered and followed the angle of his finger and slowly went up the steps. I took a deep breath and opened the door to the attic.

It smelled like dust, old people and French fries. Why french-fries? I have no idea. But I closed the door slowly behind me, and then approached the oracle.

Just before I was about to talk a thought hit me, Wasn't Rachel Elizabeth Dare the Oracle? This was weird now I guess. But it was told the camp is based on Percy Jackson not Percy himself. I guess Percy was not real? Chiron better tell me when I ask or with my easy temper I'm going to get mad.

"Um…Oracle Lady Person, who shouldn't exist, Can I like have a prophecy so Zeus and Aphrodite don't kill me?" I looked around. Nothing happened.

What the heck? I looked around again and then squeaked "please?"

Green mist appeared out of the wrinkly mouth, this might sound funny but the Oracle reminds me of a Sharpay dog with all the wrinkles. I waited for the prohphacy, this was taking for ever I stomped my foot. I am not a paitent Person.

The mist swarmed around my head…….

One in danger from gods must go,
bringing the child of Poseidon in tow,
across the plain of the mountain less land,
to a dry world devoid of sand.

One ranch in this desert place,
Raises birdlike horses of a certain race.
Taking the eggs of these creatures for food,
Is not very nice- it's rather quite rude.
Also, the sea god demands that you free
Flesh-eating horses that you can't fail to see.

Returning the beasts to their wilderness home,
Beware a short man who looks like a gnome.

My mouth dropped open as the words kept going through my mind but the green mist disappeared. "I'm-going-to-die!"

The Prophacy was made from my friend Chelly (Rachel) on YAY! CHELLY!!!!!!!!
