ANNABETH POV
Where the heck is Damian?
i have something to ask him. I am about to visit the Oracle for help to find Percy.
I couldn't possibly went journey alone at least i need his strength to help me. I tried to go to Big House but i only find Chiron and ask me to tell others Cabin Counselor to summon War Council.
Well...although i am desperately to search Damian, but Chiron has serious look when he ask me to do it. So i decide to wander around to inform it to every cabin.
Many counselor gather in 1 place. Clovis sleeping like always, Clarisse cursing to Stoll brothers, i don't know why but i can take a wild guess.
Chiron tap his horse foot to the ground and make other campers silent.
"I have summon a quest, based on Iris message" Chiron shift his leg uneasy like the message disturb him "I've sent Damian to the Oracle, he will be back any moment"
Exactly right after Chiron said that, Damian run to the room bringing Rachel that unconsciousness "Medic...she suddenly collapse, i don't know what happen" he shout
I heard some camper giggled, Chiron step down and walk near Damian "It's okay, it usually like this, tell me the prophecy"
Damian hand Rachel to Chiron and stand at the middle of council "Two children of death will be set on a journey"
Some camper murmur among them self "But, we have only 1 children of Death, and it's you" Will shout from Apollo Cabin
"I think he mean not Deah with capitalized "d" but death. So it count Hades too" Nico giving his piece of his mind
"Yeah so it clear enough, Damian and Nico will lead this quest. Go on..." Chiron ask Damian to continue
"The child of wise will convince the wise iron maiden"
"The child of wise? it supposed to be child of Athena" Connor said "But who is this wise iron maiden?" Travis continue it
"I think i know who she is" The description clicking something on my mind "Everyone knows that Daedalus is mortal that took Hephaestus interest right? she is something like that she is the one and only that took my mother, Athena's interest. But the difference is Daedalus is a demigod, but she is only a mere mortal that given immortality by god cause doing something noble, but i can't remember what" I ruffled my hair in frustration due i can't remember something that i already heard many times "So anyway her name is Joan De Arc, the iron Maiden"
"And the third one please, before Annabeth blabbering more about her fact" Connor shout from Hermes cabin and i glare him that makes him shiver
Suddenly an awkward silence happen, Damian look to Chiron like exchanging something. I am now understand why Percy hate it when i did that to Chiron, it's friggin' me curious. Well whatever they are talking about Chiron gives him a yes, and suddenly he stare at me and say 'sorry about this' without any sound come out from his mouth. Sorry for what, i think i already apologize him about the little accident from before, before i could find the meaning of it, he break the news that slap my face really hard
"The last breath son of the ocean will be blown" His face is in agonize too when he announce that
"Son of ocean don't tell me..." Nico gasp and stare at me following with other campers
I must stay strong i told myself, it isn't the time for me to be weak.
"Ah great" Mr.D cried in delight
everyone stare at him, and Mr.D lift his head from his book "Ah don't worry me, i just know that my favorite Wine will be unbanned" he waved his hand
"The prophecy can be other meaning" Chiron warn "The fourth line please"
"The trickery of Death will be unfold"
Everyone silent and stare at Nico for explanation, if it comes to death things Nico is the best person to consult with.
But, he only shrug "I don't have any idea"
"Hmm...okay then, Damian have you decide the last companion. Since Nico has been reserved in your quest?" Chiron ask Damian
He stare at me "Annabeth can you help me on this one"
I nod, i'll find Percy on this mission, i don't know how i know it i just do.
"Okay then, have a nice sleep. and three of you report to Argus in the border he will sent you to New York" Chiron dismiss the council, and everyone went to their cabin
DAMIAN POVSeriously i am like an idiot, big timer. Dragging a collapse person when it always like that. I went to Hades cabin, since there aren't any Thanatos cabin due there are no other children beside me. So since Thanatos is Hades lieutenant. Put me in Hades cabin is the best choices
Nico seems little bit excited, when i ask him why. He said that this is his first time having cabinmate.
Well...i not fussed about it, and go to sleep early. And my dreams shows me something weird
i am floating above the ground and suddenly sleeping woman sound come out from nowhere from the ground Ah young heroes, why you would sacrifice yourself on saving people that you hardly known
The prophecy has been told even the guy that you will save eventually will be death
Join me, and i'll tell your little secret that even you didn't know it
and after that suddenly my dream changing. Now i am in a middle of a cave, i saw my dad, Thanatos talking to a beautiful girl Her dark hair fell like a curtain of silk to the top of her waist, the little sunlight that reflect in the cave catching the stray strands of hair that blew across her face. In a way this made her more beautiful, as the deep brown complimented her eyes which were of a similar shade. Her eyes were without doubt the most captivating aspect of her appearance, reflecting a look of wisdom far beyond her age that could not help but draw people in. She did not care much for wearing makeup, instead favoring a neutral look to compliment her natural beauty. Her tanned skin and tall, slender build was like that of a model's, coupled with the latest trends she wore gave the impression that she had just stepped off a runway.
"My dear why you must to do this" the girl ask
"I don't have any choices, if i didn't do that every Olympian will be doom. The demigod need him to conquer this quest"
"Why must our son, it can be other god" i don't know how but i suddenly know her her name is Tyche, the goddess of luck. Well, that explain the beauty she got lucky got a natural beauty from her born.
"You know, suddenly that every god went , almost everyone except Dionysus. My resources says that they will need him"
suddenly behind him there are wailing sound of ghost trying to escape "I should be going now" Tyche flick her hand and gone
"I hope you to be safe son" Thanatos cath the souls that almost escaped.
The door knock wake me up, well that was strange dream, i don't know what it means. I look to Nico and he still sleep like a little kid sucking on his thumb.
I went to the door and find myself Annabeth standing in front of the door.
"Is Nico wake up yet?"
"No he still in his death mode, A.K.A sleeping, i'll wake him up" I try to wake up Nico, but it didn't have any effect on him
I try different approach, i pull Nico's leg out of the bed and make him fall
"Okay...okay i am waking up stepmother" He gasp shouting
me and Annabeth can't help it, we laugh really loud, and Nico flustered.
"Meet me at the camp border" Annabeth said that after she finish laughing and run towards the camp borders
we nod, and prepare ourselves for the journey.
I pack my magical swords and my earphone that i usually bring to give me a rhythm when fighting. It helps me survive when fighting the fox.
I put my spare orange t-shirt and ready to set out.
When we arrive at the camp border, the are a hundredth eyes surfing guy, i mean his eyes is all around his body. Standing besides Annabeth.
"His name is Argus" Annabeth introduce him "he will take us to New york, are you ready?"
"You bet i do"
