Percy Jackson and the last Prophecy

Chapter 1- An angel watching over me

"What the holly Hera was that?" Percy asked Chiron. He was still sweaty, his skin clammy and the shadow of his nightmare hanging over him like a storm cloud.

After Percy had woken up we ran straight to him and explained everything about his dream. Oddly, Chiron didn't look concerned at all.

"Percy, I know usually demigods drift off to other places during their dreams. This helps them with quests and it gives them useful information. But sometimes boy, the dreams are just that, dreams," the centaur explained.

The raven haired teen sighed, "How can you be so sure?"

"I am sure because you suffered a lot of trauma when you were in Tartarus. You were in the very place where everything in creation was born, that had to leave some kind of sequel.", Seeing that Percy was still shaken and looking like a truck had run him over, Chiron softened his tone and continued, "Besides, if Chaos's consciousness was stirring we should have noticed by now. Remember that when Gaia first started to wake the gods caught up almost immediately. Something that powerful and vast can't just simply start acting up without anyone noticing."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Percy admitted. "Well, thanks Chiron. I'll be heading back to bed then."

Percy walked out of the Big House and headed to towards his cabin. It was times like that he didn't like being the son of Poseidon: since Thalia was with Artemis and Jason went back to Camp Jupiter for a while, Percy was the one who had to walk the most. He passed by the arena and was about to check up on miss O'Leary when he heard yelling.

"You have to let go of the pain! Why wont you let me help you?" said a voice. It sounded frustrated, so Percy kept listening.

"Because I have never been good at letting people in, because when I do they normally tend to cross a line, just like you just did!" said a second voice.

Silently, Percy walked towards the voices. Half hidden in the shadows he saw Nico and Will; they were far enough that he could not make out their faces but it was clear that they were fighting and it did not take much time for Percy to guess what they were fighting about.

"I just said that I want you to be more social, to have more friends! Maybe that way people will stop fearing you, when they know you like I do!" the blond exclaimed, "Maybe if you show them what a great—"

"That is the thing Will, you don't know me", Nico interrupted, "You are the happy sunshine boy that is easy to like. Now I'm accepted, but people will always fear me to a certain extent. It's who I am and if you don't like it… then we're done."

Just as Nico said those words Will stomped his foot on the ground and walked away. Nico was about to do the same when he spotted Percy in the distance. The son of Hades gave Percy his deluxe Forget what you just saw or I will feed your soul to Cerberus stare before disappearing into the shadows and appearing right in front of Percy.

"And just what do you think you're doing, Percy?" he asked.

"I was just walking towards my cabin when I heard you", Percy answered, "Are you okay, Nico?"

Percy stared at the spot where Nico had just been and sighed, shaking his head slightly and promising himself to check on him later, when neither of them were tired or angry. He walked back to his cabin and was too busy imagining how his conversation with Nico would go, to notice that someone was watching him.

At the top of the stands in the arena a shadowy presence with many pure white feathered wings laughed childishly.

"This is very interesting", it said; and in the blink of an eye it disappeared.
