Chapter 2: Go West Young Demigod

After Jamie had apologized to Thalia for stepping in her food he sat next to her, after getting his own.

"Hey Thalia," Jamie asked. "Do you see the moon?"

"Sure," she replied pointing out the place where Jamie had known it would be.

"So that's part of what Zeus meant when he said we're not allow to "see" each other in any way." He thought.

"Is something on your mind, Jamie?"

"Uh..no, its nothing."

"Artemis told us to go back to camp after we get done eating. So it might be a while before we see each other again."

He hugged all the hunters wishing them good hunting as they left.

When he got to Cabin Eight, Tess was already there, tossing up and down some kind of silver ball. She was moving her arms all over the place, which made the ball look like it was floating. At first it looked like a plain ball, like one of those Fushigi things, but Jamie heard a small click and the ball became studded with spikes. It was a weapon to mesmerize and then throw at your foes. It was beautiful.

Jamie watched Tess practice with her weapon for so long that he lost track of time. It was very calming.

KNOCK KNOCK came from the door. the ball dropped elegantly onto Tess's bed. the door slowly creaked open. "Oh Hi Rachel." Tess said.

Jamie turned. Rachel was holding a manila envelope. It had a dark outline of a lightning bolt. It had come from Olympus. It had come from Zeus.

"Jamie, you've got mail. It just arrived." she said, handing it to him. "Ow." a small zap of static electricity zapped his hands.

"Happened to me too when Hermes delivered it." Rachel said.

Jamie opened it. "Its a quest prophecy."

"Hey, that's my job." Rachel whined. Outside thunder boomed. "Sorry."

Jamie began to read.

If to prove, by True Love's Test,

Journey alone into the West,

Return to Zeus, his newest Child.

Across the plains, and deserts Wild,

Take from glass, a burning drink,

Never to sever, thy true love's link.

Jamie looked up. Rachel was teary eyed, and so was Tess.

"That was beautiful." they both said.

"Yeah, I guess." Jamie replied "But what does it mean?"

"I'm not sure about all of it. Most of the time I can't remember my prophecies."

"If to prove by True love's Test. Well, Jamie, that means that you have to prove that you truly love your true love by completing this quest."

"What about the next part?"

"Pshhh," Tess said. "Anyone can tell what that means. Journey alone into to the West, means that duh, you have to go alone. Nobody else is allow to go with you, and you have to bring back to Zeus his newest daughter. That, we can't be sure of. We don't have any clues as to what exactly she is. A demigod? A goddess?"

"I'm not sure." Jamie said "Good point. It'd be nice to know I got the right person."

"I don't have the faintest idea about the last part." Tess said. "What about you Rachel?"

"I'm not sure." she replied. "Jamie, since you got the letter today, you should probably pack some supplies and leave within the next couple of days."

"Yeah. I'll start packing tommorrow. Do you think that you could arrange some airplane tickets for me."

"Where I get them for?"

"I have this strange feeling like I should go to San Francisco."

to be continued Chapter 3A/N: I would like reviews. I hate to do this but I would like to have at least 3 reviews before I post the next chapter.

I'll make it easy. What do you think the prophecy means? Is Zeus's daughter a goddess or a demigod?
