Sorry for the lack of updates. I was extremely busy with schoolwork. Thank you, Gr4Yr4iN for the reviews and the advice. I'm going to try to make my chapters longer now. As well, in this fanfic, Percy's ocean powers are much stronger, particularly over tides and waves. Liri has very powerful ocean powers as well, but mostly over the living things in the ocean, not the ocean itself. Also, the Big House has a hospital wing in this fanfic.

Perseus Poseidon Jackson POV

As I watched, Liri took a deep breath and recited:

You will delve into the darkness of the deepest sea,

And face the urge to run and flee.

You will rely on the guidance of greatest thought,

And find the demigods who are not.

Goddesses' powers will be lost,

To appease their family at every cost.

I gasped. My mind was whirling at top speed. What was this about 'goddesses' powers will be lost'? I thought. That was impossible! They were goddesses, for Zeus's sake! You can't take powers away from a goddess! And that part, 'You will rely on the guidance of greatest thought'… well, I had a funny feeling that 'greatest thought' was Athena. And what about 'And find the demigods who are not'? How can a demigod not be a demigod? I shook my head, unable to fathom what this mysterious prophecy could possibly mean.

Annabeth Minerva Chase POV

I shook my head. I ran through the lines of the prophecy over again in my head, pausing at 'Goddesses' powers will be lost' and 'And find the demigods who are not'. Those lines just seemed impossible to me. How can goddesses lose powers and how can demigods be 'not'? I looked over at Percy, who was clearly thinking the same thing as me, then at the girl who had recited this brainteaser of a prophecy. Liri was white as a sheet, and trembling. She looked like she was about to faint. I rushed over to her, at about the same time that Percy did, which was also about the same time that she fainted.

Liriana Pearl Jackson POV

I gasped, feeling faint and light-headed. That prophecy, what could it mean? As I tried to fathom what the mysterious lines could mean, I felt blackness overwhelm me and I felt the unpleasant sensation of being sucked through a long, tight, rubber tube.

I fell onto a meadow. At first, I just lay, panting and gasping until I realized that I was safe and warm. I stroked the soft blades of grass and they wove themselves under me into a perfectly soft bed, and a bunch of beautiful flowers wove themselves into a pillow. I was afraid at first to put my head on them, for fear of crushing them, but I didn't harm them at all. As I relaxed on my bed, a beautiful goddess appeared. She has green eyes and black hair, like me, and wore a grass-green dress. In her hand she carried a beautiful rose, and she smiled at me.

"Lady Demeter." I said while attempting to get up to pay homage to her, but the goddess stopped me with a touch of her rose-petal soft hand.
"There's no need, child. Rest, while you can. I persuaded your uncle Zeus to command you and your brother and Annabeth to take this quest because I knew you all needed it. I also knew you wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, what with your first quest and all, so I brought you here. I felt responsible for you, as you are my descendant."

"I am?" I asked confusedly.

"Shush, child. I will answer you questions once you are done your quest. I will try to keep you safe. Your father did not approve of me doing this, but he knew, even as I do, that you needed it. Now, rest, and I will wake you when you need to be off."

And she waved her hand, and a blanket of grass appeared on me, and the goddess disappeared as I fell asleep.

Percy Poseidon Jackson POV

I sat next to Liri's bed as I fretted. It wasn't like Liri to faint after a small shock like this. I was terrified for her, but the goddess Demeter appeared and told me not to worry. Still, I worried. What if Liri had suffered a blow to the head? She would be unable to lead the quest, yet Zeus would send her off anyways! Oh, I hope she is alright. Some people might think that I am fretting for no good reason, but she's my baby sister! How am I supposed to not worry about her? Besides the fact that I'd have my head cut off by my mother if I dared let anyone, even me or a god touch one hair on her head. What am I going to do? I thought worriedly.

Liriana Pearl Jackson POV

I slept, warm and comfortable. My dreams were laced with pleasant images of Mom, Dad, Athena, honeysuckle, sunshine, honey, fun, Demeter and Percy. For some weird reason, I also dreamed of Derek, this Apollo boy that is really nice. Directly after that, I saw Aphrodite, which must mean that the love goddess was messing with me again. After Adrian (a Hermes boy) asked me out and I said no, the love goddess has seemed to have had it out for me. But I have absolutely no feelings for any of them. I have never had a crush before in my life, and I will join the Hunters of Artemis when I feel I am done in Camp Half-Blood. I have always liked Artemis and what she stood for. Her Hunters were really nice too. Suddenly I was shaken awake by a gentle hand.

"Wake up, child. It is time for you to leave this place. But do not worry. You will return one day. That I promise." And I was sucked back out the tube.

I blinked. I was in the hospital wing of the Big House, judging by the bright sunlight streaming through the window. The hospital wing was the sunniest part of the Big House, because "it is good to have both spheres of Apollo's control in one place". I couldn't see past the sun, but I could hear the cheers of Percy and Annabeth.

"She's awake! SHE'S AWAKE!"

That was my first long chapter. It feels like I was dragging the events on for far too long. Oh well. If you want better long chapters, and quicker updates, than review! Please review? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? And whipped cream? Thanks.
