'All hail Lex, son of Hestia!' shouted Chiron.
'Hestia?' said Lex. 'Who's she?'
'I,' replied an unknown voice, 'am Hestia, Goddess of the hearth, architecture, domestication and family.' Everybody looked at the direction and saw a young woman who had warm brown hair and eyes just like Lex's.
'Hi Lady Hestia!' Zoë grinned at the young woman. 'Have you seen my mum lately? I need to talk to her about the hunters!'
'I shall tell her,' said Hestia, looking at the still smiling Zoë.
'Thanks, Lady Hestia!' replied Zoë, grinning even more.
'So,' started Lex, 'you're my mother?'
'Yes,' answered Hestia, turning to look at her son, 'and, unfortunately, I bring a warning with me.
'As most of you know, Perseus Jackson is missing, and presumably at the Roman Camp. However, you will need more than the seven to find him. To find his location, it must be you six, as well as the seven. Ask the oracle for your parts to play in this quest, but be careful, demi-gods. Danger awaits.'
She disappeared as she spoke the last words.
'All righty then!' Zoë practically shouted. 'We need to find Annabeth, Jason, Piper and Leo! We'll need their help! And Rachel! Where's our oracle?'
Everyone was staring at Zoë, uncomprehendingly. Slowly, people began to understand the situation and several of the Athena, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and anyone else who had actually understood what just happened ran to get the aforementioned people. Luckily, it was still the summer holidays, so Rachel was still there. Lissa, Anthea, Lex, Nyx and Hex were looking at Zoë with confused looks.
'What? You can help find them too, you know!' shouted Zoë at her friends. 'Get going!' And with her final words she ran off to find the oracle, Rachel.
They all looked at each other and simultaneously nodded and walked in different directions to look for above said people.
*A while later*
Everybody had gathered around the amphitheatre to explain what was going on to Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo and Rachel. They had all agreed that for the sanity of said people that Zoë would not be talking. At all.
Instead, Anthea was going to explain it. She started by recounting word for word what happened when Lex was claimed by Hestia, and then explained what they had to do. Rachel agreed to giving them a prophecy and they all sat down to listen to it.
Suddenly, green smoke billowed out of her mouth and her voice tripled, so it sounded like there were three of her instead of just one. Lex fell backwards in surprise, but everyone else just ignored him.
'Six demigods must help the seven,
'Land to point north,
'Sun to point east,
'Death to point south,
'Moon to point west,
'Magic to lead through the danger that awaits,
'Home to lead back to safety again,
'And all to bring back what was lost.'
Everybody stared at Rachel as the smoke disappeared. They thought over the prophecy, trying to decide what was what.
'Well at least we know who does what!' said Zoë excitedly. 'It's obvious! Land is Anthea, 'cause she's a daughter of Demeter, sun is Lissa 'cause she's a daughter of Apollo, death is Nyx 'cause she's a daughter of Hades, I'm moon 'cause I'm a daughter of Artemis, magic is Hex 'cause he's a daughter…I mean, son of Hecate and home is Lex 'cause not only is he the only one left, he's also Lady Hestia's son!'
Everybody stared at her.
'Is it just me or, for the first time ever, did she just made sense?' asked Annabeth. Everybody nodded there head in agreement. 'Just checking. So you guys have to come with us on the Argos II and help us find Percy?'
Everybody nodded.
'You guys have to help us build it then!' said Leo. 'Don't know how Zoë skipped out on it before. Or Nyx for that matter.' Zoë grinned at this and Nyx just looked at him.
'I was there,' said Nyx, 'you were just to busy flirting with Thalia whenever she came near you to notice.' Leo blushed bright red as everybody laughed at him, except Jason and Zoë (for once) who looked at him questioningly.
'Don't hit on Thalia!' said Zoë, annoyed at him. 'She's a Hunter! Can't date! No matter what! Ever!' Now Leo was starting to look scared as both Zoë and Jason were glaring at him.
'Um…' started Leo nervously, 'I was just joking around?' They glared even more. 'Let's just get back to the whole we have a new prophecy and have to work on it, okay?
'Fine!' said Zoë. 'But if you're in danger, I'm not going to save you. And neither is Hex, right Hex?'
'Yeah, sure,' said Hex, clearly not listening.
'Great!' replied Zoë happily. Leo looked worried.
'Anyway,' began Annabeth, 'we have to start planning. Let's get some sleep. We'll begin tomorrow, and that includes training Lex, which will be Zoë and Lissa's job. Goodnight!'
'Goodnight!' replied everybody else as they all made their way to their own cabins, where they would sleep until the next day, when they would start their planning and, for Lex, training.
Hello again! I hope you guys liked my prophecy, and the reason for it(the quest). I'd like to thank my friend, Sarala23, who helped me edit it and to make sure it makes sense! Review with what you think or I can't make the next one any better, which means you can't flame my story next time I update! Anyway, have a good holiday for all those who are on one(I love school holidays!)!
