Okay guys I still need some names for the weapons. Even if it's not your character I could do with some ideas. Also I go back to school on Monday and I'm doing to stories at once so I won't be able to update as fast. At the least I will post a chapter once a week. Nice idea for the name of the whip bewilder22 and if I said you will get in just wait, even if you're a Hunter I'm still going to put you in latter. I'm trying my best.

Life's not fair.

I've waited ages for me to lead a quest. Sure I've been on one but never lead one. I've trained like mad to be chosen and what do I get? Nothing.

And now that kid comes along, he's here for five minutes, no training and what happens. Old crazy lady takes a stroll in the woods and bam. He's got a quest.

After the prophecy had been issued, Chiron ordered an emergency war council meeting.

As it was the winter most of the campers were at home so we only had about forty all together so we didn't have that many counsellors.

So the counsellors consisted of me for the Hephaestus cabin. Lyssa for Hermes cabin who kept twisting her ring. Shane Mallson for Dionysus cabin. Jake Falls for the Poseidon cabin, as well Lea Roberts. Trisha Selena La Bellec from the Aphrodite cabin. Mellodi Watson and Summer from the Apollo cabin. Jack Smith from the Hades cabin. Jackie Lake from the Zeus cabin and finally Griffin Inderthal-Floyd from the Ares cabin (apparently he had proven himself worthy to be in their cabin and lead them).

Also at the meeting was Mr D, (a.k.a. Dionysus) Crazy lady (a.k.a. Charlotte) And Chiron (a.k.a. no one).

Finally Chiron spoke up. 'As you all no Charlotte has issued a prophecy for Nathan. I think it is no coincident that Nathan has just arrived here on the same day the spear of Ares was taken.'

A couple of people let out dramatic gasps, which I thought wasn't really needed.

'I also believe it is no coincident that this situation matches the current Great prophecy and we are near the Winter solstice. Also things are currently beginning to stir among the Gods.

'What things?' Shane asked.

'That is to be discussed another time. But for now we are left with a bigger crisis. Ares has given the rest of the Gods a week to give him back his spear. On the Winter solstice.'

'Whoa. Hold on a sec.' Nathan said. 'What is the Great prophecy?'

You could tell Chiron was trying to choose his words carefully next. Like he didn't want to give too much away.

'A month after Charlotte became our Oracle, she issued a Great prophecy. All Great prophecies are visions of the future for a major upcoming event.'

'Well what is it then?'

'That is also another matter to discus latter.' He replied.

'Well how can you expect me to lead a quest if you won't tell me anything?' Nathan yelled.

This surprised us all. Even Mr D put down his wine magazine to see what was going on. You just don't shout at Chiron like that.

'Anyway.' He continued not seeming to be at all fazed by him being yelled at. Then again he had been teaching heroes for a couple of thousand years. He had probably seen it all by no.

'Nathan as tradition goes you can choose five companions to go with you. I suggest Summer and Lea to go with you.'

'Let me guess.' He mumbled, so only a few people could hear him. 'Something else to do with the Great prophecy. Devin do you want to come?'

It took me a few seconds for me to realise that he was talking to me. 'Sure I'll come along.' Maybe this kid isn't so bad. I thought.

'I also choose Tess from the Hermes cabin.'

'Why Tess?' Griffin growled.

'Because both of them saved me from a Harpy attack. What have you ever done?'

'That's great and all but you can still choose one more companion.' Jackie pointed out.

'I don't know who else to take really. Devin who would you say would be a good idea.'

'I don't really know either.' I answered. 'Maybe Shane?'

'Fine by me. Shane are you up for it?'

'Of course I am.' He replied. 'I've not been on a quest in ages.'

'Well that's settled but where are you going to go?' Trish asked.

'Mount Tam.' Chiron suddenly said. 'It's where the Sky meets the Earht.'

'But that dangerous Chiron. The place is still infested with monsters.'

Suddenly a horrible thought occurred to me.

'Chiron what if Kronos is coming back. This is how it started last time.'

'No it's not Kronos. Hades is having Thantos controlling Tartus and the Gods would know if he came back this time. By best guess is that some monster has taken it as the Gods don't really worry about minor monsters. But that can't be right because monsters can't even touch a Gods symbol of power.'

'Who is it then?' Jack said.

'I don't know. But should use the knowledge that we do know. You leave tomorrow morning. The war council is over.'
