Flashback...

"You said there was a cage with a woman in it, but you didn't know who it was at first, she locked eyes with you and you think you know what she meant. Then a man walked in and asked her questions that she didn't know the answers to. He said something that made you realize who it was, am I correct on this."

"Yes."

"You realized that she was... Artemis."

A few minutes later...

"Chiron what are you doing?" I yelled.

"I have to contact Mt. Olympus. But first come with me." He said with a shockingly alerted tone in his voice. He stopped searching for something and headed out the door. "Where are we going?" I asked cautious to not unnerve him any more than I already had.

"To the Oracle." He answered firmly.

"Why?" I asked (another dumb question, but hey I was new to this).

"Ha!" He chuckled half-heartedly "To give you a prophecy of course."

"Oh." I said realizing how stupid I can be "Why me Chiron, why do I receive the prophecy?"

"Because your the one who had the dream, which means your the one Artemis chose to lead the quest." Once we got to the cave of the Oracle, Chiron talked to the current Oracle, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Chiron called me over to answer some of Rachel's questions, but when she was opening her mouth she froze up and the green mist came out of her mouth.

Three shall go south, facing many foes,

Seeking advice from one ancient and old,

One shall fail to save one of their own,

One shall speak the last words known,

One shall fall in the last battle fought,

While one is left to unchain the one they sought.

I stood there appalled. Finally Chiron snapped me out of my trance and back into reality. Rachel didn't seem to know what happened but soon was let on by Chiron when he said "Thank you Rachel for your time. I shall go back to my office and warn Olympus of what's happened." He then left. I stood there confused of what just happened and was trying to sort out what it meant. Rachel looked at me then said "It's no bother."

"What?"

"Trying to figure out what it means." She answered."You can only reveal what it means by letting it unravel on its own."

"Well there's no harm in trying, right?"

"Well, no... only if you don't try to change it."

"What happens if you do try and change it?" I asked.

"The prophecy will still unravel but it might take longer... or even a shorter amount of time." She replied. "It's better to just let it unwind the way it's supposed to."

"Uh, thanks Rachel... I think."

"If I were you Alli, I would choose the people who go on the quest with me wisely, 'cause you never know what situations you'll find yourself in." The conch horn blew so I ran to the dining pavilion. As I was running to the dining pavilion I thought about what Rachel said but quickly discarded it from my thoughts. When I reached the pavilion all of the cabins were already there getting their food. Chiron walked up to me and said I needed to pick two campers then to start packing for the quest soon. I got my food then sat down at the Hermes table since I hadn't been claimed yet. Haley asked "Where have you been?"

"Chiron and I went to see the Oracle."

"Uh, that place... its creepy there... gives me the uh... creeps." She said.

"What were you and Chiron doing there?" Amy jumped in, stealing the words from Haley's mouth.

"I would rather not say just yet, maybe you could ask Chiron or just wait."

"Wait for what?" The twin girls said in unison.

"Ugh, fine I got a prophecy... okay!" I said, frustrated that they wouldn't let it go.

"Awesome! What did it say?"

"It said, 'Three shall go south, facing many foes, Seeking advice from one ancient and old, One shall fail to save one of their own, One shall speak the last words known, One shall fall in the last battle fought, While one is left to unchain the one they sought' I know."

"You know what?"

"It's very confusing and it sounds like its a hopeless cause."

"Why do you say that?"

"The line 'One shall fail to save one of their own' oh and 'One shall fall in the last battle fought' gives me the impression one or two of us are going to die ."

"But you can't tell what they mean."

"But I can guess." I said.

The next day Chiron called a meeting for all the head counselors to meet in the big house to discuss my prophecy (he also told me to come).
