Chapter Four: I actually leave for a quest (HA I fooled you last time!)
"Where to start with my visions...Hmm…Ah yes let's start with the one Zeus was in. It started by me being in Mount Olympus, looking at the awesomeness in it, then Zeus was being a jerk by say Nice isn't it? Then scaring the crap out of me by coming up behind me." Percy and Annabeth were dying on the floor in laughter at this point. "Yes it's very funny that Zeus scared me, ha ha the god of lightning creeps up on you, I'll be sure to laugh at you two. Can you two goobers stop laughing now?" I asked. "Yeah, yeah Saren, calm down, we'll stop laughing. Well I don't know about Percy but I'll stop laughing." said Annabeth. "Hey, on occasion I do have self control over my laughter. Go on with your vision please Saren, and I will try hard not to laugh as much." said Percy. "So after he scared the hebejeebees out of me, I said don't do that to a demigod and be glad I'm not armed. He laughed at that, and asked me why I took a bolt from him. I said that I took the bolt for Percy because he's the child of the prophecy."
They all looked utterly stunned at this, especially Chiron. It was really funny, but I was nice enough not to laugh like some other people *cough* Percy and Annabeth *cough*. Chiron finally said "Hold on their Saren, are you meaning to tell me you knew Percy was the child of the prophecy and that you told Zeus that?" "Dude you caught me in the basement of the oracle. What did you think I was doing down there?" I said. Chiron sighed, thought for a moment, and then said "Alright I admit it, I probably should have known something was up when I caught you in the basement, but inform me please on what exactly you were doing down there anyway." "Well, I had a nice talk with the undead oracle, and then she let me look at the great prophecy that she wears around her neck. Do you want to hear the rest of my vision now?" I said.
After an awkward silence, they all in unison again said "Yes" but without as much enthusiasm as before. "After me and Zeus had that little fun talk, I was transported into the past, and I saw my surrogate mother. Her name was Sarena, which is how I got my name Saren. She thought if she got a hair from all the Greek and roman god sand put it in a potion and drink the potion she'd be immortal, but she ended up pregnant with me. After I was born, she died and Artemis brought me here. She was talking to a goddess, which I assumed was Hera or Aphrodite, but I'm not sure. It could be any female goddess really, which is kind of strange, I've got to admit. Why would someone want a child of all the Greek and roman gods to be born? The only reason I see why would be if they wanted to overthrow the gods, but I've been raised here so that's kind of a failure right there." I said.
Chiron and Annabeth both looked worried, but Chiron spoke first. "Saren, let's say for argument's sake there was going to be another titan war. Which side would you fight on The Greek gods or the titans?" "The god's side of course Chiron." I said. "Alright, but what about the demigods that haven't been claimed, which side would they probably fight on?" "They'd probably fight on the titan side. They'd feel resentment and probably think what have the gods ever done for me? The titan side would also have loads of monsters on their side too, now that I think about it. Wait Chiron…Are you being serious about this? Is there really going to be ANOTHER titan war?" Chiron looked sad and glum, and then said "Unfortunately Saren, if you're right about Percy being the child of the prophecy then yes."
I cursed in Latin, and then said "Since when do I know Latin?" to Chiron. He said "Well, you've known Latin all your life Saren, considering you stay half the year at Lupa's camp. OH MY GODS did I just say that out loud?" "Yes, yes you did Chiron." Said Annabeth, Percy and I at the same time. "Calm down Chiron, they don't really understand what you meant by that. Thanks for reminding me by the way." I said. Annabeth said "Hold on there Saren, do you mean Lupa from the myth of how the city Rome was made? Does this mean there is some sort of roman demigod camp?" "Wow this is quite the predicament we got ourselves in there Chiron. I-"I tried to finish my sentence, but Chiron covered my mouth with his hand. "Annabeth, you ask too many questions that Saren and I swore on the River Styx to never answer or talk about. I'm sorry about it."
Chiron finally took his hand off my mouth, and then Annabeth looked at me for a moment, asking the question again with her stormy grey eyes. I turned my eyes silver, which was the sign of yes. I said "So after I saw my surrogate mother, I was transported undersea, to Poseidon's palace actually. Poseidon talked to me, and said I was meant to be a goddess, and the protector of demigods. So he asked me if I'd protect you Percy and I laughed and said of course I would and so that's why you have that cool looking tattoo on your left palm. He looked at his palm, and then smiled at me proudly. "Annabeth, I was running to tell you all of this, and then I did something even more awesome, I turned into a WOLF! How cool was that?" I smiled, and then they all looked stunned again. "Ok Saren, I gotta admit, that's pretty awesome." said Annabeth.
Then I told them about my next vision after I passed out in the strawberry fields, when I was back in Mount Olympus. I told them about Luke's past and how his mother tried to be the oracle, but instead she went crazy. Luke was so scared of her, so he ran away and found Thalia and Annabeth which I guess Chiron and Annabeth kind of already knew, but too bad. So then I speed it up to Hermes praising Luke, and then to a few days ago with Luke stealing Zeus's master bolt. They were all stunned again for the third time I think. I should really become a novelist, I'm good with suspense. "Luke would NEVER do that Saren. Your vision has to be wrong." said Annabeth.
"My other vision was correct, so why would this one be wrong Annabeth? It's not wrong Annabeth; you just don't want it to be right. Percy is being blamed for this Annabeth, and I know he didn't do it. We must go on a quest to prove his innocence and prove that Luke stole the bolt, not Percy. Annabeth you and I both know your dying to go on a quest. So go and be happy about it. Percy has to lead the quest and pick the people he wants to go with though. Uh Chiron you forgetting something?" "Yes. We need a group of people to go on a quest to prove Percy's innocence. Percy?" said Chiron. Percy said "I choose Annabeth Chase and Saren to help me on my quest." "Alright Annabeth and Percy, pack your stuff and we'll leave tomorrow." "Why tomorrow?" They said in unison. "Well, because we've been here a while talking, and its good luck to start a quest in the morning.
