Chapter 6: Oasis: Prophecy
To XxWiseGirlxX check out her amazing stories!
Frank and Percy caught Rachel before she fainted. After about a minute of pure silence Leo broke the spell.
"W-O-W, wow!"
"That could mean a lot of things." Annabeth said. "When Percy learned his prophecy it sounded that bad."
"Wait, what did I miss?" Rachel asked.
"One of the most depressing prophecies in demigod history. I'm guessing." Leo answered.
"What did I say?" Rachel asked, concerned.
"Something along the the line of; From the blood of Perseus, a daughter of the two sided trident will come. Her presence will stir the ancient some, blessed by all gods, for her life will end for their cause. Ten guardians will rise only to fail by the hands of the wise" I said.
"Dang, good memory!" Nico said.
"Thanks." I said.
"Annabeth's right, let's take this line by line, okay?" Percy said.
"From the blood of Perseus," Piper began, "What does that mean. Does that mean that she is Percy's sister. Your full name is Perseus right?" She asked Percy.
"Yeah it is, but I don't think that's what it is saying. In the memories Oasis and I received our dad said that she came from a special Greek bloodline. What happened to the original Perseus?" He said.
"Perseus married Andromeda and they had kids. In fact Heracles is Perseus' great-grandson. Its possible that you come from Perseus' family." Annabeth replied.
"Okay," I said, "how about 'a daughter of the two sided trident will come."
"In Camp Jupiter, I learned about the gods identities as coin. They are two-sided. The gods were called two sided when they were being changed to be more Roman. They didn't just change to Roman. It took time. However, after they became Roman they didn't act like Greeks anymore. They became fully Roman."
"So are you suggesting that Oasis is Roman and Greek? Daughter of Poseidon and Neptune? I've never heard of anything like that before." Grover said.
"Thank is because those kinds of demigods are very rare and extremely powerful. There scent is so strong they do not survive long." Chiron said.
"My mother protected me!" I said. Everyone looked at me. "Ugh, Percy's mom..."
"She is your mom too." Percy said.
"Next line." Frank said trying to prevent an awkward silence.
"Her presence will stir the ancient some." Hazel answered. "Any ideas what that means?"
"No." Everyone seemed to say in a semi- unison.
Chiron looked away from us. "I have an idea but right now it is an idea. I pray I am wrong."
"Blessed by all gods." Piper said. "I think the glowing of lights outside showed us that."
"Hecate said my memory was my first gift from Olympus." I said.
"Yeah about that, what memories? I think a lot of us missed something." Leo said.
Percy quickly filled the others in. The confusion on their faces lifted.
"For her life will end for their cause." I said. "I think that's pretty clear."
"We don't know that." Rachel added.
"Ten guardians will rise." I continued. "I believe that is all of you."
"Not me or Chiron." Rachel said. "But the rest of you, Percy, Jason, Piper, Annabeth, Thalia, Grover, Nico, Hazel, Leo, and Frank."
"Yes, don't ask how I know but I know that I feel completely safe around each of you ten." I said.
"I think everyone at this table feels protective of you too." Percy added.
Everyone else nodded.
"Only to fail by the hands of the wise." Percy said. "Athena?"
"No, my mother would not do that." Annabeth said.
"Look at what she did to Medusa!" Leo responded.
Annabeth gave him a look that could kill.
"Sorry." He said.
"Well its been a long day. We should all rest. I believe we missed dinner." Chiron said.
Everyone slowly got up and left.
"Come on." Percy said. "You are gonna love the cabin. Tomorrow we should Iris-Message mom."
"Okay." I said.
Percy lead me outside, to perfect weather by the way, to see the cabins.
While we were walking I stopped. I saw a familiar looking woman by the bonfire. I ran towards her.
"Hello Grace." I said.
"Hello darling. I see you finally found your home. I told you it was the right time to go to private school."
"Hello Lady Hestia." Percy said.
"This is your gift from me. I took you from your abusive mother and sent you to private school knowing Grover would find you and bring you here. Now you two should get some sleep." She said.
"Thank you Grace, um Hestia." I said.
Percy lead me our cabin. It was beautiful. It was home.
"Thank you Hestia." I whispered to myself.
