Thank you to AthenaKidd and AgentDoubleOGrace. Though they live in states far, far away (okay, not that far), they have become my newest best friends! At 9:30 at night! When does that happen?

I hope you liked the last chapter, I spent LOTS of time with it.

Sammy, you have yet to review the other chapters. Get with the times.

But ANYWAY…

Here's Percy's POV:

I didn't know what I was doing. When I drenched Reyna, I didn't know how I did it.

But Michael takes me up to this tent. It's tiny. I don't see how one person can live there, much less two.

When I go in, he surprises me. The place inside is HUGE. It's like a resort, with an indoor pool and all. And it's a big and inviting indoor pool.

Michael flops down on the sofa and turns on the TV. Cartoon Network pops on. "Welcome to Tent 3," he says. He has a bit of an accent. British, maybe? "Make yourself at home."

I change and take a cannonball in the pool. I can think here. I float to the bottom, and I think I have some memories…

I see a woman being lifted up by a horned beast. She disappears in a shower of gold.

I see a blond girl swimming away from me. She's so beautiful. I don't know who she is, but she's swimming into a war zone. She passes by a mine. I jump into the water—

And then I'm watching the stars with a girl with black hair and bright blue eyes. She looks at me and says, "I wonder what's wrong with him…" I nod.

Next I'm sitting on a mountaintop with the same girl who was swimming away. She looks at me and says, "Be careful, Seaweed Brain." And then she kisses me.

And then I'm watching her lie in a bed. She has a bandage wrapped around her shoulder and she looks like she's in pain. I want to reach out to her, to help her, but I can't. My emotions are a jumbled up mess. "I owe you one," I say.

And then Michael jumps in. I float to the surface, as does he.

"So…" he says. "You weren't claimed."

"Is that a bad thing?" I ask.

"Not necessarily…" he says. "But you're definitely a son of Neptune."

"Neptune?" I ask. "Don't you mean Poseidon?"

He shrugs. "Neptune, Poseidon, same difference, really."

I have the feeling he's wrong. Poseidon is different than Neptune. I know it in my bones. But why don't I know anything else?

Then another guy walks in. He has blond hair, wavy and long enough to tell. He introduces himself as Max, and has the same stupid accent as Michael.

"So what are you boys doing?"

"Talkin'" says Michael.

"Is that illegal?" I ask.

And then it finally appears that Max has seen me. "Good gods who are you!"

"I'm Percy," I say. "I don't know what my last name is. I just got here."

Michael looks at Max pointedly and says, "He wasn't claimed."

Max gets paler than I would ever believe. "You…you're kidding!"

"No," says Michael.

"I gotta get Reyna over here…"

"Reyna heard."

Max looks up, surprised. "She did?"

"She's the one who found out it he was a son of Neptune."

"What's this all about?" I ask. I don't like being left in the dark.

Max gestures for me to get out of the pool. I do. "Look," he says. "Two years ago, Reyna, Jason, and I got a prophecy. Jason went missing last year. So the thing is…"

"Well?" I ask. "What was the prophecy?"

Max clears his throat:

"Three children of Greece and three children of Rome

Shall meet one day soon and no blood shall be shown.

The seeds will be planted for peace between the two,

But still they shall wait for the son of Neptune." (A/N: Don't we all?)

"Wait…" I wonder. "You think I'm this son of Neptune?"

"Yeah," says Max. "I mean, who else could it be?"

I gesture at Michael and Max. "You're one to talk!"

"We were already here when that prophecy was issued!" Max begins to yell. "If we're supposed to wait for ourselves, well, that doesn't make sense, does it?"

"I…" I can't get past that. He's nailed me. "Good point."

"Now," says Max. "I think you need to learn the rules around here."

And rule number one: Never question Max.

So I hope you like it!

This was the fifth prophecy I considered, so you better like that.
