AN: Hey guys, here's the next chapter! I wanted to thank everyone who reviewed. Helped me a lot. I will try to give more detail and try not to make the characters so OOC :P I'm also gonna try to slow the story down a bit, although it may seem like my chapters are getting nowhere by doin that...tell me what you think! Btw this chapter has over 100 more words than the last XD.

Chapter 2: The Prophecy
The stairs creaked as he walked up. Percy took a deep breath before he opened the door. He found himself face to face with an old mummy that greatly resembled a hippie and smelled terrible. So we meet again, he thought wryly. He bit his tongue. He was tempted to walk away, go to his cabin, and lock the door. But it seemed to dare him to try and leave, so he gathered up his courage and asked, "What is my fate?"
Green mist came out of the old mummy and then it spoke in a raspy voice.
You will travel to an island where the monster lurks,
Use your special gift and hope it works.
A group of 4 will make the team,
Only to fall in the evil one's scheme.
Fight the dark ones wrestling hold,
Find two allies young, but old.
Two will love but one will die,
To give herself up…say goodbye.
To conquer the obstacles use the sea,
Play it right and you will end with three.
An epic battle is the only way through,
Who will die… the traitor or you?
It laughed evilly and then the mist faded and the mummy became still.
Percy realized he was shaking and grabbed the doorframe to steady himself. He swallowed, but couldn't get the lump out of his throat. One will die? Was it serious? He made his way down the staircase and came in the room to find Chiron, Grover, Annabeth, and Thalia looking at him expectantly.
"Well, what did it say?" Annabeth asked impatiently.
He took a deep breath.
"You will travel to an island where the monster lurks,
Use your special gift and hope that it works."
They just looked at him waiting for him to continue.
"A group of 4 will make the team."
"Yup, that's us" replied Thalia.
"Uh, are you sure? I don't think…"
"Yes of course we're sure, Seaweed Brain!" interrupted Annabeth. "Now finish!"
"Only to fall in the evil one's scheme." he continued.
They exchanged worried looks.
"Fight the dark ones wrestling hold,
Find two allies young, but old."
Chiron spoke up. He was in wheelchair form. "Good, good! You will find new allies...perhaps half-bloods! But I'm not sure about the other part…" Just as his hopes were getting up, he heard the next line.
"Two will love but one will die,"
They all stared in horror.
"To give herself up…say goodbye."
"What else?" Chiron asked worriedly.
"To conquer the obstacles use the sea,"
"Makes sense," Chiron muttered.
"Play it right and you will end with three.
An epic battle is the only way through,"
Percy gulped and then continued.
"Who will die… the traitor or you?"
Annabeth gasped. Thalia gasped. Chiron gasped. Grover bleated.
Chiron looked at Percy. "I don't want you to go on this quest, but if the prophecy states it, then it is bound to happen and there's nothing I can do about it." He sighed and looked out the window, his eyes looking very distant. "Well you four better go and pack your things, your adventure awaits."

AN: R&R of course! Please tell me if there are any spelling/grammar errors and I'll try to fix them. Also you may have noticed I'm not very good at making up prophecies so give me some tips! Tell me what you think of course about how its going. I'll post the next chapter after I get a few good reviews. (And when I say good, I don't mean they have to be compliments, just that they give good help or constructive criticism. But a compliment here and there wont hurt lol.) Oh and if anyone wants to try and guess anything in the prophecy you can.
