Frank

Hazel and I rushed after Tyson and Ella. I had a feeling Tyson would rush to find Percy, but he ran into Reyna first. He accidently knocked her to the ground and looked down at her and said, "Sorry!"

"What is the meaning of this, Cyclopes?" Reyna demanded. Tyson was scared and started to back away before he noticed Ella was still there. He tried to form words, but they evaded him. His words stumbling over each other like big, clumsy feet. Hazel stepped up and whispered in Reyna's ear. Reyna's eyes grew wide and she rushed in the other direction.

Annabeth

I followed Reyna, with Percy holding my hand tightly within his. I couldn't help but notice how different he looked. But when I looked in his eyes, he was the same ol' Seaweed Brain I knew. There was something new there, though. Something that could easily be shattered like glass. She was about to ask what was bothering him when Reyna stopped in front of what I heard was the…..Praetoria? I think that was it. Frank and Hazel were waiting for us, along with Tyson and a harpy named Ella. Okay. Now I was confused, and that's a hard thing to do, when you're Athena's child.

"What's going on? I thought you said this has to do with the prophecy. Something about….m-me." I stammered. Percy looked away, and I knew he knew. I grabbed his hand and he looked at me, and that was when I truly believed he had lost his invulnerability. I could see the sadness and pain in his eyes. Actual pain. Something he shouldn't have been able to feel, but did. "Percy," I managed, "what's going on?" The sadness increased and I thought he might actually cry. One tear tried to make it down his right cheek, but I wiped it away before it could escape.

"Ella….Ella said a prophecy. It included….well it said….it said…." He couldn't finish. I knew it would kill him to tell me. It was obviously bad. Bad for me, but even worse for him. Tyson looked devastated and even Frank and Hazel, who didn't know me, but knew I was important to Percy, looked depressed. Tyson spoke up.

"Ella said this:

'Sailing to the Ancient places,

Death's Doors to close, in the race of all races.

Wisdom's daughter walks alone,

The mark of Athena burns through Rome.'"

Ella looked at Tyson and smiled as she said, "Athena, Minerva, weaving, Archne, spiders!" We ignored her and Tyson as they continued their conversation.

"Well, the ancient places are Rome. And Greece." Hazel said. Frank grabbed her hand making them both blush a little.

"And Wisdom's daughter….well. You're the only child of Wisdom in the seven." Frank announced. I couldn't help but notice how much his baby face did not match up with his masculine build.

"But what's the 'Mark of Athena'? And the new Rome, or the old one? And….and….and Athena has other daughters! Maybe one sneaks on the ship?" Percy was being hopeful and everyone knew it. But I decided to go along with it.

"Yeah, maybe. Remember, prophecies often have double meanings. So it's pointless to sit around and try to figure it out." I said. When I looked at the sunset I realized how late it was. "We should really get a good night's rest. We're leaving soon."
