Please reveiw! And thanks to a fellow reveiwer, for helping me with the prophecy. They practiclly wrote the whole thing. Me and rhym-y words dont get along.

I ran down the stairs. When I say ran, I mean a streak of lightning. That oracle thingy was freaky! I jumped down the last six steps then did a faceplant into the back of Jason's head. People laughed as I staggered back and held the bridge of my nose. It hurt bad!

"Its not funny!" I shouted desprately. My nose really hurt.

"Let me see it." Gabriella said and stood up.

"What about me?!" Jason whined, holding the back of his neck.

"You're fine," I said and removde my hand so Gabriella could look ay my nose.

"Ouch. Here, take some of this," Gabriella said and pulled a little golden cube out of her pocket. I ate it, and my nose felt better. But some people were still smiling.

I sat down next to Jason and Gabriella.

"You know, my neck really hurts. Since you hurt it, I think you should give my poor neck a massage-" I cut Jason off with a smack to the back of the neck, and everyone burst out laughing again.

When the laughter died down I said, "There's your massage."

"We now have one career eliminated." Jason said, and I threw a cheeto at him.

"Alex, would you please recite the exact words of the prophecy for us?" Chiron asked.

"Wh-why? I-I mean why bother? Theres no meaning to these prophecies right because I dont think there is because I mean, come on. N-no I dont think I'll bore you with ryming words." I stuttered. Thats what I do somtimes when I get nervous.

Chiron stared at me. "Fine then. I'll say it," I said.

"A barren land the jeweled three must find,

There a palace uncovered by the daughter of mind

The boy least expected is the one you seek

Take him away whether he be rich or meek

Tunnels through the ground the boy will create

If its a trick discovered it is your fate

Beware of the Onyx dont give it your trust

For returning to camp is a definite must."

Silence. That made me feel better.

Finally Connor said, "Isnt an Onyx somthing in a Pokemon game?"

"Yeah, it is." I said as that just dawned on me. "I wonder if thats actully what it looks like."

"I love that game. My favriote is Bullbusor."

"Oh, mine is Vulpix and Nine-tails-"

Chiron interuppted our importent conversation. "Now is not the time to discuss video games."

I fake-pouted but said no more.

"Alex who will you take on this quest?" Chiron asked me.

"Oh...I get to choose?"

"Two more people."

"Ah...Jason and Gabriella." I was thinking about adding "duh" at the end of that sentence, but decided against it.

"Okay. You have two days to find a weapon, learn how to use it, and pack your bags. The only clue you get is your prophecy. Meeting closed."
