Chapter Four
I got to my cabin and threw my stuff on the ground. I plopped down onto my bed. Once again I felt like a jerk. I sighed. Stupid prophecy! Maybe it's wrong, and I made a big mistake. I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I guess I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew I was being shaken awake. I opened my eyes.
"What is it?" I asked groggily. I saw Travis Stoll standing over me, dressed in battle armor.
"We need you out there! There are some dracenae, and a hellhound! We could probably beat them, but Chiron said to get you."
I nodded and he turned and ran out of the cabin. I grabbed Riptide off my nightstand and ran out, and headed towards the sound of battle, past the borders of the camp. Peleus stood in front of the golden fleece, roaring, trying to ward off the I got there, I saw half a dozen dracenae, and a hellhound, as Travis had said. Campers were attacking, but they were tired, and having a hard time. It was also pitch black out, I must have slept for a while. I pushed through campers and found myself facing a dracenae. Her ugly scaly skin rippled as she tried to jab me with her sword. I instinctively jumped back, even though I didn't need to.
"I've missssssed you, Perccccy," she hissed.
I moved in and tried to jab a blow, but she deflected it with her shield. I sliced at her again, and this time made contact. She exploded into dust, evaporating. Then I relized the other dracenae and the hellhound were retreating. After a few minutes, they had gone down the hill and disappeared.
I saw Chiron galloping in between campers, seeing if any were injured. "It seems no one is hurt badly," he called. "We will have a meeting about this in the big house.
Everyone started to file towards it, moving slowly. I wonder why they are attacking. We defeated Kronos! I saw Grover ahead, also going to the big house. I guess he came back to help defend the camp also.
Once everyone was seated in the big house, Chiron began the meeting. "Several monsters are still attacking. Who their leader is, I do not know. Does anyone have any ideas?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then we shall ask the Oracle, but since we do not know of any single person of importance to this matter, we will do it here. Rachel?"
"I'm here," she said from the back of the room. She got up and walked to the front of the table and stood next to Chiron. She looked nervous.
"Help us with this matter, oh Oracle," Chiron said.
Rachel's eyes turned green, and green mist poured out of her mouth. I hated this part.
"The bravest chosen satyr will lead the way,
They'll find their answers, but they will pay,
What is broken will either repair,
Or all shall end in the pits of despair,
Together they will save the days,
But must go home in two separate ways."
Rachel's eyes turned back to normal and the mist ceased. "Did I do it?" She asked.
Chiron nodded, and Rachel returned to her seat.
"Well," Chiron said. "Naturally, that satyr would be Grover."
Grover squeaked in alarm. "Me? I will do it, of course, it's just I didn't expect…"
"You must have confidence, you have done the whole world many a favor. You get to pick two half-bloods to go with you." Chiron replied.
Grover smiled. "I will pick the two of my friends that never failed me. I have been on several successful quests with them, and I hoped that this can be another." I smiled, and then frowned. I realized who the other half-blood would be, and I wasn't happy about it. "Percy, and Annabeth," Grover said.
