Story

Later that day mid afternoon

Reyna lay in a bed in cabin # 1 thinking. Usually guests In camp half blood bunked in the Hermes cabin-like the remainder of the bird kids- but Jason had offered her a bed in his cabin. This should have made her day but instead every time she saw his face it made her seethe in fact the only reason she'd agreed to stay was to rub it in pipers face. Out of all of the Greeks, it was piper who angered her the most. It technically wasn't her fault Jason had disappeared that she could owe to her royal highness of Olympus -she was beginning to realize why Annabeth hated her- leaving her with the heavy weight of a job meant for 2, but it was her fault that Jason no longer had any interest in Rome or ...her! Or was that his fault? She sighed. Why did her life have to be so messed up. She just wanted to be back in her villa in new Rome or better yet Puerto Rico, in her dad's house." Uh,Reyna"a voice sounded at the back of the huge cabin."yes" Reyna snapped."what do you want you in..."she stopped mid stared at the boy she had just been brooding over."I was uh I was um"he mumbled " spill it Grace" she spat. Reyna had no patience left. " I was wondering if you would meet me in the woods at night after the campfire."Jason stuffed his hands in his pockets. Reyna opened her mouth then closed it. her heart had never beat faster...

At the campfire

Max had never felt more comfortable than how she felt now. She was with her own kind- minus the wings-and now she understood why the white coats kidnapped her and the rest of the flock, why having jeb as a parent had felt unreal. She was glad was still her mother and didn't blame her for lying about jeb. A chord of beautiful music jolted her out of her thoughts and she looked up. 2kids were leaping around like maniacs upfront and unfortunately I knew those kids only too well. "Gazzy,iggy what are you doing!" Max screamed mortified. " it's ok maximum"a voice said calmly. Max turned quickly ready to give the person who had dared to oppose her a piece of her mind. Instead she stopped mid-spin. She was staring at a half horse. Suddenly his eyes widened. He was staring at something above her head. A red battle axe was floating above her head. As you would expect, she did exactly what you would do if a giant killing machine was about to land on your head." Argggghhhh"she screamed. She looked around the campfire to see if anyone else was concerned. She was greeted by seeing all the flock with signs above their heads...

PERCY POV
The sun was setting and we were all celebrating for our victory on the beach. I could tell that my dad was making the water smooth just for us. We wouldn't have won without the bird kids, who were claimed last night. I have to say I wasn't exactly surprised with their godly parents. Their personality matched their general description of the children of the gods and goddesses. I mean like when you look at Fang, you see the resemblance between him and Hades . The same onyx black hair and the deep brown eyes, and the kind of gloomy aura that surrounds them. Talking about the different gods, I have the blessing from one of them now.
FLASHBACK
I had just returned from that deadly quest that would benefit all of the gods and goddesses. The reward was blessings from Hestia ,the power over fire and the ability to summon food .The whole Olympus was actually quite happy with me now. Most of them are friendly to me, every time I step into their domain they would offer greetings and the creatures/people/skeletons are extremely friendly with me. Like Charon, he even hugs me when I get to the underworld, Hades does to,plus Dionysus calls me peter Jackson he says my last name! Actually all the gods do(not the peter Jackson part), they are my real family now...
Suddenly Rachel had green air sprouting out of her mouth... Uh oh, not another prophecy, I have had enough of those for a life time. Thunder crackled, oops no offense Apollo. But seriously every time a prophecy sprouts it's always about me, and it always has some kind of death in it. Thunder crackled again, I used my skills-that would have been so useful before- to talk with other people/gods/creatures in my head to talk to Apollo. Gee, someone's touchy today i thought to him, he chuckled in my head. But it wasn't like his normal laugh, carefree and happy, the laugh was kind of strained and it sounded like something was concerning him, something bad...
I was jolted back to reality as Rachel started talking
18 demigods will lead the way
2 will rise and 3 will betray
Olympus powers slowly drain
And the fate of the world rests on them
As predicted Rachel promptly fainted, with Nico catching her. I thought back to the prophecy, oh gods, someone give me an aspirin... Another life threatening quest, gods help me...
