"Seriously thou, what does she expect? Does she expect us all to follow her again? What the Hades does she want? She's so...so...what word can I use to describe it?" I asked.
"Snobby," James replied.
"Annoying," I added.
"Death deafeningly stupid," he said.
"Now, about the call and pass part..." I wondered.
"Well, I'm calling you aren't I?" James asked.
"And we've been calling each other...for awhile after the prophecy came out..." I noticed.
"We know what's going to fall. No problem in that," James smiled at me.
"To bad people will have to die, James."
"Will that ever change? She always brings death. What about tragedy?"
"Doesn't the queen do that as well?" I asked.
"Yes, I guess she does, but..." James paused, "Its for the better. For the future."
"James-" He cut me off. I heard some yelling in the background of the Iris message.
"I have to go now, I'm sorry." He gave me a sad smile. I nodded goodbye and he swiped a hand through the Iris message.
I sagged down onto my bed, waiting for the next part in my plan. I mean, our plan. "Damn. I'm going to die, aren't I?" I said out loud. There was a knock on my door, "Who is it?" I called out.
"Juliette? Its Ami! Can I come in?" the voice yelled behind the door.
"Yeah." Ami pushed the door open, closed it behind her, and approached the lazy-lion-me. "Did you need something?" Although, I already knew what she needed.
"Um, yeah, sort of." She paused and sat down on the bed opposite of mine. "Can you come with me?" I nodded and gracefully flew to my feet as Ami reached the door.
"What do you need help with, thou?" I knew already.
"I want to go on a quest, sort of. What do you-" I cut her off, stupid.
"Yes. I'll go. Why don't we just leave? Its not like its a big deal or anything. Demi-titans leave practically all the time." I rolled my eyes, get a brain idiot. We were at the main house.
"Prometheus! Can we leave camp?" Ami yelled in.
He replied with a grunt, "Yes."
I whispered under my breath, "Told you so."
"So, anyways, meet you at your cabin in an hour to leave?"
I nodded and left to go sleep. Knowing already, I had previously packed. I readily grabbed pillows and bounced to my bed. Sleep, something I would need in the next few days.
Time passed, I don't know how long, and Ami was at my door. This time she didn't knock, Ami only walked in and I woke up. I felt the difference in air. "Is it time to go, Ami?"
"Yes." Man, isn't she just bland? We left by walking.
"Where are we headed?" I asked after we were out of the camp grounds.
"Hawaii. Kauai Hawaii." She replied straightly.
Freaking boring girl. "Can't we just air travel there?"
"Oh okay." She said. I grabbed her hand and we appeared on the cliff above the cavern. I glanced around and saw the so called "pass". So, that's the pass part of the prophecy. Its a rocky terrain and the pass was full of darkness. Slowly, I got behind Ami. We entered the cavern then, where there was light.
"Stop." I told her. She turned around and I held her at arrow point. Yes, I carry a crossbow. "Now, turn around. Continue walking forward. But don't turn back. Hands up." I ordered her, gods that's good-ordering her around.
"I brought her!" I yelled into the cavern. The noise there stopped.
"Bring her in," a voice called.
We walked in and I made her kneel in front of the wooden throne. Kneeling beside her, I kept Ami at point.
"Hello my liege," I spoke hesitantly to her.
"Juliette, I see you have made it. Leave us."
"Yes." I walked back and found James in the shadows. Hanging from the ceiling, Percy was caged.
"Hey," James whispered and led me to a different part of the cavern.
"Hey yourself, James." I laughed.
"Juliette, have you gone through the prophecy?" He laughed and smiled at me.
"Yeah," I said practically laughing my head off.
"The prophecy, titans. Vince, definitely not a prophet or an oracle." James smiled at me.
"I know, he's just a tool. So easily controlled by our queen."
"But, what had she planned to come undone?" He asked me even though he would figure it out in a few minutes.
"Its almost time, right?" I could tell it was getting close to our necessary arrival time.
"Yes." Grabbing my hand, we shadow traveled to the outskirts of Camp Titan. I surveyed the camp grounds. Like usual, no one paid any attention to us except for certain demi-titans. They stared at us, their leaders, and many prepared their weapons. The weapons glinted in the setting sun as James noticed Prometheus emerging from the main house. Looking around, V and Xav began to approach us. What a mistake. I made an air barrier between us and smiled.
"Shall we go?" James asked me and offered an arm. I took it and began walking down the hill pushing people over easily with my air powers. The other demi-titans began to disarm everyone else as James and I led the way to Prometheus and Hyperion.
"Hyperion and Prometheus," I spoke in a commanding voice. They stared down at me on the porch of the main building.
"Juliette, where is Ami?" Prometheus smiled at me. I sighed and used my powers to douse Prometheus' brewing fire. He had begun one in the palm of his hand behind his back. The difference in air told me that. James already had Hyperion under control. That was the whole point, that was why we were the leaders. The little generals, rooks, of the chess game and army.
"She is gone," James smiled at them. The two titans struggled to get out of our grasp. As of then, I took the oxygen out of the small air bubble I put Prometheus in. No oxygen, no fire. Hyperion was trapped in a shadow. Smiling, I raised my arm to call the demi-titans closer.
"Demi-titans. Half-mortals. Bring me the Celestial Metal Chains." Celestial metal, a mixture of all the metals available, could hold titans safely. It was the alloy Zeus used in Tartarus.
I grabbed the chains and smiled, "Silly demi-titan. I want the chains not this flimsy piece of metal." I knew the difference of celestial metal and celestial bronze. Another approached me, "Here it is!" Many cheered. No losing focus, I closed the chains over Prometheus and Hyperion. James controlled their shadows and walked them over to the lake. An Oceanus demi-titan parted the water and allowed James and I to walk to the center. We left the titans there in chains.
"Escape and keep your life," James called to him. We walked back to the main house. Glancing at the camp, I saw the bodies of our "brothers" and "sisters" piled around the edge. A fire was built in the center of camp, the shrouds were made and the rest of the camp and everyone gathered. It was necessary.
"This death and tragedy of this camp will live forever in our memories. Never shall we be left to suffer by our so called 'parents'. Let ourselves prepare for the oncoming battle! Tonight we will stop, thou, and grieve our losses. Take one night, and this night only, to worry about the past. We will move into the future with the queen we owe our freedom to!" James finished his speech. The crowd roared, and that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
