Thanks so very much for the words of encouragement.

"Let me get this straight...Rachel just gave you a prophecy." Travis said, as I finished telling them about the details of what happened at the docks.
Rachel and I had ran straight into the Big House to tell Chiron, who had called for an emergency meeting on all the Camp Counselors. They had all rushed into the Big House only to have me explain it to them for ten times in various speeds.
"Yes." I replied.
"Well what are you waiting for then? Tell us what you've heard..." Clarrise said impatiently. I could tell she was itching for a fight.
"Okay then...
Children of Olympus shall go and rescue
A lone Half-Blood in danger to pursue
Two shall battle the titan in vain
A cry that will keep one sane
The wise one's mark shall be lost
One stone restore everything together at all cost." I recited.
Malcolm was deep in thought. Everyone was clearly trying to decipher the meaning of the Prophecy.
"So... I think we need a quest." Connor spoke up, breaking the silence.
Chiron looked skeptical. I immediately knew what he was thinking about.
"I think we should think this over."
Okay, maybe not. "Why? Chiron... I think Travis is right. We need a quest."
Chiron didn't reply. Instead, Malcolm answered.
"Chiron's right. I think we should think this through... We have to implore the other things into consideration. I mean... On camp conditions right now, we can't afford losing anymore campers. I mean...we already have many campers out scouring the states. Will, Grover, Connor, Leo , Jake. I know we can't just send anyone out on the quest and we can't even not send anyone... We have to be open to the conditions, considering the last break-in..."
Chiron looked a little disappointed. "Indeed. It's still a mystery to us on how a monster army got inside the camp borders. We suspect Camper Involvement. "
"Not another spy!" Travis whined. "That's exactly what we need. Any idea who it is?"
No one answered. Travis decided to change the subject...
"Well, the half-blood on the second line- that's going to be Annabeth. " He said. "Well, then there's this Titan."
Katie rolled her eyes. "Well Spotted Travis! " She chided. " The real question is, which titan?"
"Altas?" I suggested. "He was the last one in league with that stupid Manticore."
Malcolm shook his head. "No... It's not Atlas.. Something tells me it's just not him."
I was starting to get bored as I watched Katie, Malcolm and the others who had taken it upon them on guessing who this titan was. My eyelids slightly dropped as I fought to stay awake. I shook my head, clearing it and awakening me for a good measure.
"When was the last time you slept, Son?" Chiron asked, apparently he was watching me.
I thought about it for a second. If today was Thursday, then "Tuesday Night." I answered.
"Maybe you should go lay down for a nap." He suggested. "Go sleep."
But I wasn't going to hear any of it. "No." I replied hastily.
Chiron saw no point of arguing with me. He just addressed the others. "Well, First things first then. We need at least 5 to 6 Demigods for the quest." He task took thirty minutes. It was awful. There were Pros and Cons...Advantages and Disadvantages... I dont even see the point on discussing that separately when they are just the same! It was an absolute chaos. Lots of bickering and screaming and after all of that, they finally established the final six who would be with me.
First was Malcolm(since Annabeth isn't around, we definitely needed brains for the group.), Nico ( the kid is useful so that's a definite advantage since he was child of the Big Three like me.) Katie(since she was one of Annabeth's closest friends, Travis (He insisted on coming since his girlfriend was going.) Piper ( better keep a charmspeak incase she was needed.) And then lastly, there was Leo(Piper insisted we take him when we meet him half-way. We didn't know why, but she said she could be useful.)
Clarrise, Connor and the other counselors would be in charge of the camp.
After we have arranged what we would be bringing and when we would be going, the meeting adjourned. I trudged up to my cabin, almost half asleep. I had direct orders from Chiron that I should go sleep and If I don' he'll be the one who's going to shove sleeping pills on my mouth.
I really didn't need to those pills.
As soon as my head reached the pillows, I was asleep.
Demigod dreams really really suck.
I was in a some kind of mountain. Mount Tam. I didn't know how I knew that piece of information, but somehow I knew.
"LET ME GO!" screamed a familiar voice. "You really won't get away this time Minos!" Annabeth said.
I turned around to see my girlfriend chained to a pair of rocks. She looked terrible. Her upper lip was bleeding, there was a staring bruise in her right forehead and a bleeding cut on her left. There were also bruises in her wrists which were chained. She was struggling out of her captivity and she seemed to be draining energy as she does
In front of her was a shimmering figure. A ghost. Not just any ghost, but the same that tricked Nico at least 3 years ago. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"Be quiet!" He ordered, which Annabeth paid no attention to.
Annabeth kept squirming. "You already got Daedalus! What more could you possibly want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want to get even."
Annabeth stared at him. "Get even with who?" She asked incredulously. The ghost didn't get a chance to talk. Another figure had joined them. And a big one too.
A man next to him had eyes of pure silver. His face was covered with scaraggly beard and his gray hair stuck out wildly. I knew this man. In fact, he wasn't even a man. Iapetus was the titan Nico, Thalia and I had battled in the Underworld. Somehow, he had found a way to get his memory back.
Iapetus had a spear in his hand. "Make that girl shut her trap up,Mons."
"It's Minos sir." Minos said to the titan.
Annabeth gave a tired, but mocking chuckle. "Right, get even... you should totally do that with someone who doesn't even remember your name, Mons." then she turned to look at Iapetus. "What do you really want?"
Iapetus sighed, eyeing his spear. "If I tell you, would you shut up?"
"Maybe."
"Fine. There's nothing you can do anyways." Iapetus said smugly, sitting at the ground cross-legged across a fire. He stoked it with his spear. "I brought you up here because-"
Minos tried to stop him. "Sir..."
"Be quiet Mons!" He said.
Annabeth grinned "Yeah, MONS... Be quiet! Iapetus is going to tell me his plan...in which I could do nothing about.." She said." Oh, poor me...Just a little helpless half-blood. Oh, please Mr. Titan...Just enlighten me with your plan..."
Iapetus smirked at his accomplice. "See, she even admits she can do nothing about it herself." He said, then turning his attention to the chained up blonde. "I have brought you here little demigod so I can lure the most powerful Greek demigods."
"As in just Greek?" Annabeth asked. "How about the Roman ones?"
Iapetus smirked once again. "Romans? Bah! They haven't even have an initiative on making a roman name for me. Why pay attention to them?" He said. "The point is, I'm here to take revenge on what they have done to my brothers and I'll be reuniting with them to conquer the whole world. Something Kronos hadn't been able to do." He said, proudly.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Oh... That's what you're up to." She said innocently. "Good plan..." She said, though her eyes told otherwise.
Iapetus looked smug. "And I'm having many minions with me..." He said.
"Which is?"
The titan waved a hand. "You don't need to know them all." He said.
Annabeth pouted, but struggled at her chains. Apparently, she expected Bob (Long story) to be tricked a little longer than that.
"But why can't I?" She said, struggling at her chains. "I can't...Even...do...anything...about it remember?" She said, giving up at the chains which seemed to have absorbed all her energy.
Iapetus grinned, which was scary. "I can't have you know your enemy...Daughter of Athena"
Annabeth just laughed. "I already know you..."
"But you can't do anything at the moment to help your pretty little friends." He laughed with her, making her stop. "And you might know the masterplan...but you can't do anything about it if you're dead."
Annabeth gulped. Iapetus turned his back against her and went on polishing his beloved spear.
"That's what you think." She said lowly, a smile on her lips.
He didn't notice behind him, Annabeth scanning her surroundings. She seemed to be looking for something until she looked straight into my eyes.
"Now, you know..." She whispered under her breath, not too loud for Iapetus to hear, and I don't know how it was possible, but perfectly clear to me. "Hurry up!"
