It's been a few weeks since the battle over Olympus ended but the horrors still came back to me, I still had nightmares about the fight, and when I woke up it didn't leave me because it wasn't just a nightmare, it was all real.
I took my friends, my family, and all of the demigods that survived and managed to run away to a safe house that Annabeth knew about from when she ran away from monsters with Luke and Thalia, the gods were defeated and the titans ruled the world, they began destroying all the mortal cities and rebuilding them as they wanted.
Not too long ago I received a message that the great three are imprisoned in Tartarus and that was enough for me to realize that we were defeated, if the great three couldn't defeat Kronos what would a tiny group of demigods manage to do to him?
Luckily for me, I had almost everyone I knew with me so they managed to keep me sane.
After about a week hiding, it was my turn to go on patrol. While patrolling around the safe house I saw something in the forest, it looked like a human being but it was black and green smoke came out of the ground where it stepped, I called Annabeth and told her to warn the rest of the people.
It walked slowly, but after a few minutes I managed to see who it was, it was the Oracle.
I sighed, turned Riptide back into a pen and put it in my pocket, then I stepped towards the oracle, knowing that if it managed to get so far away from camp just to find us it must have some very important prophecy to tell us, or maybe it just wanted to say "hi"…, in that case, I think I would cut her head off.
"Hi" I said, that was stupid, saying hi to a dead person.
The Oracle opened her hollow eyes and stared at me, she began filling with green smoke as she always did before giving a prophecy, but then she shook her head aggressively and for a second she looked almost alive, and then it talked to me in a normal voice, which kind of freaked me out "This is my last prophecy, now that the gods were taken down from their throne I have no power to keep me alive, if you can consider this alive, so you better listen carefully"
I nodded and she started filling with green smoke again, and she started talking in the same voice I was used to since my first year in camp half blood, it brought back some nice memories which was something I really needed in all the pain that we were surrounded by.
"Light and darkness are enemies but yet they work together to save the world from all the suffer, an Olympian will fall while another one will rise, the savior of the world will be a son of the ocean, although its power will come from the sky".
And then she collapsed in a pile of dust, "Oh, great" I thought to myself "There goes another Oracle, too bad it was the last one".
I ran to Annabeth and told her about the Oracle and the prophecy and she sighed and told me that she will try to figure the meaning of the prophecy out but she needs some time for it, I agreed and we both told the campers that it was a false alarm and that no monster is coming yet, and then we both went to our beds and started thinking about the prophecy.
