Guys! Serously, I have a lot of views, but practically no reviews! I won't continue with this! I mean, is it so hard to gather three reviews on this? Without them, I'm not going on... So REVIEW!

Annabeth: What about disclamer?

I(facepalms): Sure! I don't own PJO, Rick does. I only own plot and Ella. Thanks, Annie.

Annabeth: DON'T CALL ME ANNIE!

I: *gulp!* Gotta run for my life! Bye!


Chapter 7

Quest begins

"What are you doing here, Father?" said Poseidon, first one to recover.

"I just want to have a nice talk with my rebellious daughter", said a creature made entirely from shadows, and wrapped into a cocoon of time. It spoke with my father's voice, and I knew that this was all that left from him.

"I don't want to talk to you. Go, Father, before I make you." My voice sounded confident, but in fact I was scared witless. He sensed it, and chuckled.

"You cannot hide your emotions from me. Nor you can lie to me, my little one."

"But I can defeat you", I countered. Gods looked at me, amazed by my stubbornness.

"You're overconfident, my daughter. It'll be downfall of you."

"I don't care. As long as my downfall means your destruction, I'm perfectly fine with it." Kronos's eyes shone with a brilliant gold color.

"You're same as Sea God's spawn, Perseus", he mused aloud. "You'll do anything to stop me."

"Of course. What've you expected from me, to join you?" This was a rhetorical question, but Kronos answered it anyway.

"I did. After all, you can't get rid of me. I'm part of you."

"Your blood is part of every god's and demigod's legacy." My voice was now deadly calm.

"Face it, Father: you've lost your chance to mold me as your ultimate weapon."

I didn't expect his response; he started laughing.

"Oh, how little you know", he said. "If you only knew what are you capable of. Most demigods would do anything to be you."

"I don't care, have you heard? Now, get out of Olympus, or I swear, I'll personally blast you to pieces."

"As long as you live, I can't die, my daughter", he said grinning diabolically at me.

"Your secrets are not as secret as you might wish they are, Father", I replied with a glint in my eyes. "Your own gift would be your destruction."

He backed away from me, already disappearing.

"We shall see each other soon, daughter", he warned me. "Until then... I will pray you don't die." With those words, he vanished.

I swayed back and forth, unable to regain balance, and for the second time today, I plunged into darkness.

I must say, blacking out isn't nice. But being in my father's presence was so draining, that I simply did that. Thank the gods, no flashbacks this time. Waking up, first thing I noticed was that I was again back in infirmary. Apollo was fussing over me, and I just wanted to get out and start my quest.

"You're not going anywhere", Apollo said sternly.

"But I want to go! Sooner I stop my father, the better!"

"Ella…"

"No! I'm getting out, now." My voice held such a conviction, that he actually let me get out. But as I reached the enchanted elevator, someone crossed my path.

"Brother", I said coolly. Zeus stood before me, angry.

"How did you get out of infirmary?" he demanded.

"Apollo let me out", I answered, not fazed by his anger.

"You mean, you charmspoke him so he would let you out."

"Not intentionally." He blew out an exasperated breath.

"Fine. But be warned; Father is not going to go easy on you." I laughed mirthlessly.

"I didn't expect him to. If he did that, he wouldn't be our father. "He smiled, and stepped aside.

After an IM, I took Blackjack and flew to Camp Half-Blood. Chiron was waiting.

"You all right, Ella?" he asked me as I got off Blackjack.

"Yep. I have to go on a quest." Chiron nodded.

"It's issued by Olympian council." Now he looked stunned.

"Olympian council itself?"

"Yep", I said popping out 'P'.

"Then, go to Rachel. She'll give you a prophecy." I shuddered; I really disliked Oracle.

I entered the cave and called:

"Rachel! I need to talk to you!" She appeared out of nowhere, jumping out and down.

"Hey, Ella!" she said cheerfully. "What brings you here?"

"I'm going on a quest, and I need a prophecy", I said carefully. She closed her eyes in concentration. Suddenly, she opened them, but they were green. She opened her mouth, and Oracle spoke from her.

Daughter of Time, Son of Sea and Daughter of Wisdom shall go,

To defeat the old enemy, to give birth to another god.

Time will twist around, for new goddess to rule,

And to fulfill will of unforgiving one, she will suffer until her friend frees her.

He will go through unbearable pain, and reach his destiny by his aunt's hand,

While her father crumbles to nothing, she will archive what no god ever had.

Rachel collapsed again, but quickly came around.

"So, is it good or bad?"

"Hard to say", I replied. "But I believe my quest would be success."

"Then good luck."

"Chiron!" I called. He trotted over to me.

"Repeat the prophecy, from word to word." I repeated. He looked awed.

"You will be granted godhood?" I nodded uneasily.

"I'll take it as the most desperate measure to save my friends." He smiled.

"Well, go and fetch Percy and Annabeth. I believe they're the ones."

I ran off, asking myself: What's Percy's destiny?


It's shorter than usual, but this is kind of filler chapter. Anyone wish for Percabeth fluff? Tell me!

Trivia question: What's the name of Percy's first monster?

Blue cookie for the quickest one, and usual cookie for the rest who answer correctly!
