A/N: Okay, so this is the next chapter. please review!
Chapter 3
Prophecy and Teams
After an hour of activities and learning the ropes around the new Roman/Greek camp on Olympus, Lupa came out and called us all to the throne room. We crowded the throne room and near the throne of Zeus were the seven leaders of the quests. Each one had enough room to fit two people to fit in between them.
"Campers, these quest leaders are going to pick which of you will accompany them on this quest. We will start by telling you the prophecy and after that, if any of you wish to not have any part of the quest please leave," said Lupa. Then Chiron and Rachel stepped forward and Chiron cleared his throat.
"The oracle of Delphi said;" said Chiron "She said;
The seven quests to free the gods intertwine
Eurystheus holds the secret of mustard and wine.
The twenty Giants freed from Titan
And the secrets of the new children."
"It indicates that one of the groups will go to Eurystheus to get a special kind of wine and mustard," said Rachel, "Which was and will be used to make Kronos disgorge the gods. The other six groups will go and defeat one of the six titans who, unlike the giants, can be defeated without the gods. Each Titan will probably have their wife with them so they may have a partner and each group will only have to face the two of them. That way we can make sure the Giants and Titans don't cobine forces. You will not however be able to keep them defeated."
When she finished, she and Chiron stepped back and I saw a lot of people leave. More stayed than left but I guessed no one wanted to die this year.
"Alright then," said Chiron, "We have discussed who will be going on what mission and have decided that Violet will lead her team to get the mustard and wine, but whoever goes with her must be prepared because the man who we believe to have it is the same man who assigned Hercules his twelve labors and will most likely have you do some labors as well. The rest of the groups will search for and fight an assigned Titan. If you however find a different Titan, do not engage in battle; send an Iris message to the person with that assigned Titan and give them the location. Lupa and I have decided to let ladies go first. Violet Curcube will pick first, then Belle Amour, and then Luna Crescent."
I looked over at Luna and barley recognized her. I've seen her around but we never really talked to each other. She was an African American with short hair and big pretty eyes. Her lips curled up and were pretty thick. Violet stepped up and looked at everyone.
"Ummm…" she said as she thought, she had about eighty people to choose from, "Well, Joseph Brine, son of Neptune…"
He cheered and ran up next to her and held her hand.
"And, well, the second person I choose doesn't really have a last name," she said, "But no one else really has this name so, Odysseus, son of Athena."
Joseph's eyes became huge and then he squinted in anger. He seemed just as shocked as I was and I slowly walked and stood next to Violet. She let go of Joseph's hand and just stood there between us. We all stepped back and Belle stepped forward.
"Unlike Rainbow girl here, I don't have to think this one through," she said, "I choose my boy friend John Krieg, son of Ares, and my BFF Salvia Crop, daughter of Ceres!"
I wouldn't think that Salvia and Belle would be BFFs, I mean Salvia is so nice and Belle is so… not, but I guess anything's possible. John and Salvia went up and stood next to Belle. They stepped back and Luna went up.
"I choose my best friends," she said, she was so excited, "We've wanted to go on a quest together since… Like forever! Magus Seer, daughter of Hecate and Crystal Niege, daughter of Khione, come on!"
Magus came out of the crowd and I almost drooled. She was the hottest girl I had ever seen. She had long light brown hair and piercing green eyes.
Crystal came out and she was also very pretty. She was white as snow and had black hair and light blue eyes. She was pretty and elegant. They stepped back and Eli, Nathan, Peter, and Horleus stepped up.
"I choose Christian no last name, son of Eros," said Eli, "And, Jake also no last name, son of Hades."
Jake and Christian joined Eli and they went back.
"I've chosen Lucas Martello, son of Hephaestus, and… Rose Fleur, daughter of Flora."
They walked up and Peter asked Rose, a pretty girl with light red hair and brown eyes, something. Her mom in Greek would be Chloris, goddess of flowers. When he asked her something she smiled and nodded and the two hugged. I guessed Peter and Lucas had become friends over the winter. The three stepped back.
"My team for the quest will consist of light, dark, and dawn," said Nathan, "Keith Buion, son of Erebus, and Dawn Tromontor, daughter of Aurora"
Dawn had bright orange hair and blue popping eyes. She had freckles running down her nose to parts of her cheeks. In Greek her mother's name was Eos the goddess of the dawn.
Those three stepped back and Horleus looked through the crowd of people. I just noticed that all of the satyrs left. Most of his friends didn't want to go on this quest. Then Billy and Brandon stepped up.
"Um," said Billy, "We would just like to say… um... well if you don't know who to bring we would volunteer to join you."
"Sure," said Horleus, as he smiled from ear to ear.
"Then it's settled," said Chiron, "You will all leave as soon as your team is ready tomorrow mourning."
Almost every one started to scatter, including Joseph who seemed upset that he and I were going to be partners and honestly, I wasn't too thrilled about it either.
"Violet," I said before she left, "Why'd you pick me?"
"Oh," Violet thought for a second and then said, "Well… If we have to find monsters and stuff you would be the one to know were they are… and I… and you would know how to beat them… So I'll see you tomorrow."
"Violet wait," I stopped her from leaving, "Are you okay? You've been acting kind of strange lately."
"I'm fine I just umm… I gotta go." She said and then left. I walked over to Eli to apologize.
"Hey," I said once I reached him, "Sorry, I got put in Violet's team."
"Why are you sorry it wasn't you're fault. I mean it's not like you could just turn her down like that." he answered.
"Okay," I said, "Thanks."
"For what?"
"Never mind, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Kay."
And with that we went on to our daily activities.
Man I thought the Athena kids were good fighters, well Minerva kids are Masters at swordsmanship but they lack some of the wisdom that Athena kids have. Athena kids and Minerva kids are evenly matched for the most part. It's like matching Athena's strategies with her battle skills. After a while was lunch so everyone went to the lunch tables.
A/N: What do you think Peter asked her? What do you thin Of Violet's first choice? tell me in a review! Next chapter I'll tell you what Peter asked, in an A/N because it actually never comes up in the story.
