Percy woke me up bright and early. "You should get up if you want to be ready at noon."

I sat up and stretched. I was dreading this quest, because I didn't really want to have all the blame if the world was demolished. Anyway, I needed to finish gathering supplies. Clothes, for one thing. One change of clothes for who knows how long didn't seem like such a great idea. I also wanted to have time to test out my powers. Last night, when me and Percy were swimming, I had discovered that I was pretty much waterproof…unless I wanted to get wet. I wanted to see if I could do all the other stuff Percy had told me about.

When I arrived at the Big House at eleven thirty, I was ready to go, with my backpack on, and Thunderstorm on my belt. I saw Chiron, Percy, Chris, Tiffany, and all the other campers. There was a blond haired girl with gray eyes standing next to Percy. Chris looked just as cute and cool as always, and he was joking around with his brothers. He had a backpack just like me, all ready to go. Tiffany, on the other hand, was completely silent and just as scared as last night.

"Gabbi, Chris, Tiffany, come over here for a second. Chiron, Annabeth, and I want to talk to you about your quest." Percy called. The blonde girl, Annabeth, and Chiron both waved us over. Chris gave his brothers a few final high fives and walked on over to Chiron and the others. I did the same, minus the high fives, but Tiffany didn't. She ran over, darting like a deer. She was the first to get there, and I thought, "She's a fast runner. That might come in handy."

"So, first quest, Gabbi? I remember my first quest. Percy, me and Grover had to travel across the country to the Underworld. Best life threatening experience ever!" Annabeth smiled. "But now it's your turn. So my main advice is, don't ever turn your back on a monster. That's the worst thing to do. And since the monster you face is apparently in the south, don't go north, east or west. Go south."

"Thanks." I really appreciated the advice, and was glad to meet Percy's Annabeth, finally.

"Yes, go south. And this is not all. I have studied and pondered the prophecy, and the only other piece of advice I can give you is that you may want to stay in the open when possible. 'The earth will tremble'. Earthquake. Remember that, and try to stay safe." Chiron added.

I had already figured there would be an earthquake, but Chiron's advice would keep us safe. "I will."

Percy looked at me. "Water is always great to be around. Notice your surroundings. There might be a weapon or advantage point that you can use in a fight. Trust me. Last, but not least, you are my sister. Dad will answer you, just ask. And to all three of you, good luck." Percy smiled. "Have fun."

Annabeth smiled too. "Enjoy yourselves!"

"Iris-Message camp if you need, we'll most likely be here." Chiron said. "Now, did anyone prepare a speech? Joking!" He, Percy, and Annabeth laughed at our three appalled faces. "But would any of you like to say farewell?"

"Sure!" Chris said. "I'm cool with that."

"And I guess the leader should too, even if I'm really bad at public speaking." I smiled. "Tiffany, what about you?"

"N-n-no…I-I don't want to." Her eyes were wide. "Oh, all right…but really short, okay?" She gave in to our pleading glances.

"Well then." said Chiron.

The campers all stood waiting around the Big House porch. Then Chiron spoke up. "Campers, as you know, Rachel has given us another prophecy. Gabbi, Poseidon's daughter, Chris, Apollo's son, and Tiffany, Aphrodite's daughter, are called for this quest. Each has a few words to say, then they leave. Gabbi, would you like to go first?"

"Sure." I stepped up onto the porch. "I'm still new here, so I don't know everything about camp, or being a demigod, or fighting, and I don't know everyone's names, but I do know that this camp is the best place I've ever been. I want to thank you all for making me feel welcomed. We'll be back!"

The campers cheered. Chris nudged Tiffany up onto the porch. Tiffany stood there, eyes wide and nervous. Then she started to talk, so quietly, everyone had to be completely silent to hear. "Hi, everybody. I just want to say, that Chris, Gabbi and me will come back, so don't worry. That's all." Tiffany quickly looked down at her feet. She sure was shy!

Chris walked up the porch steps while a few people clapped for Tiffany. "Chiron asked us if we wanted to say farewell…I said yeah. So, here goes…Farewell." Chris said very importantly, giving a Miss-America-worthy wave. Then in a lighter tone, "What's up? The sky. What's down? I'll tell you. That monster's head! This thing's going down, just wait! Tiffany, Gabbi and I will murder it! And you all better forget claiming my bunk, I'll want it when I get back!"

Everyone laughed. Myself included. Then Chiron said, "Have you found some means of transportation yet? You should be going now."

Just then, three pegasi landed on the porch. "Thanks, Dancer!" I thought, then said out loud, "Yeah! Pegasi flight to the south! See ya'll later!"

"Ye-haw!" Chris said, jumping astride the white pegasus stallion.

"Good luck, Gabbi, I love you!" shouted Percy as they all flew off. I was on Dancer, Chris on his white horse, and Tiffany on the other horse, a black stallion. The crowd cheered. Chiron, Percy, Annabeth, Will, Piper, Andreina and some others waved.

We were off to save the world.
