CHAPTER THREE: TALKING TO A MUMMY

I went to the attic where the Oracle was quickly.

The attic stank like a graveyard and there was cobwebs everywhere. I thought I saw the face of the man that forced me off the plane I was on when I fell into the camp. When I turned towards the Oracle, I yelped. The body was worse than how I thought. Sure, what I thought was that it was a person that's skin was clinging onto the body, no eyes, real bony- but, I think Percy wrote it so it would be less scary cause who knows who would be reading that part?

Actually, the Oracle was like this: the female body's arms and legs had no skin so you could see decaying mussels and some bones. The mouth wasopen but cobwebs covered the mouth hole (I nearly gaged at that). Where the eyeballs should be, there was maggots crawling in and out (almost gaged). Weaving in and out of the Oracle's hair wasspiders and snakes! And that to what Percy wrote and you got the Oracle.

"What is my fate?" I managed to say.

The Oracle sat up straight and the cobwebs covering it's mouth disappeared. It opened it's mouth and brownish colored mist came out- wait, brown?!

The mist formed a image of the women at the foster care taking a coffee break.

Two shall go to the Underworld, The first woman said.

One will die before they do. The second muttered. (So far, it's like what Marilyn got.)

They who wish to save will fail, The third whispered.

And when death and life form, The fourth began. (So like Marilyn's.)

Evil shall rise from it's prison.Woman Five finished. (NOT like Marilyn's!)

And the savior will be a traitor, Six stated. (Isn't that part of Marilyn's?)

But will be too late, What the first on said made me nearly choked.

Kronos will rise, The second waved a hand at the others.

And the gods will become mortal. Three sipped her coffee. (Oh man!)

The only one that can help, Four placed her glasses up her nose.

Is one who has died. Five and Six said in unison.

The mist pulled back into the mummy's mouth.

"Wait, does Kronos become defeated?" I demanded.

The mist stopped going into the mouth and came back out, green this time, and formed a mirror image of me.

Kronos will be defeated by the one that has died. The Oracle replied. The mist stayed in that form, as if waiting for me to say if I had another question.

"How can one that died defeat Kronos?" I wondered.

The one will be given an offer by Hades letting the one live if it can make the Titans defeated. The Oracle responded.

"One last question: can you tell me who this one is?" I inquired.

The mirror image of me shook it's head. I am limited to tell you. The mist went back into the mummy and returned to how it was when I entered.

I sighed and went down to Chiron and Marilyn again.

LATER...

"Was that all it said?" Chiron wondered after I told them the first part the Oracle had told me.

"Um... No," Chiron and Marilyn stared at me. "When I asked it if Kronos would be defeated, it said: Kronos will be defeated by the one that has died. And when I wondered how that was possible, it replied: the one will be given an offer by Hades letting the one live if it can make the Titans defeated."

"That never happened before. The Oracle never answered a question after the prophecy has been told," Marilyn stated.

"Well, do I go on a quest?" I wondered.

"Um..." Chiron stammered.

" διατί συντομία αντί εγώ?" I demanded. At first, I had no idea what I said. Then, I knew I had said "why can't I?" in Greek.

" καλώσ." Chiron said. It took me a while to understand that he said "alright".

When I did, I smiled.

I really wish I didn't.
