Percy awoke to find the sleeping form of Thalia cuddled in his arms while Katie was sleeping on a chair.
"Katie" Percy whispered.
As Katie opened her eyes slowly she looked at Percy and smiled she waited for whatever he was going to say.
"It's breakfast time lets go and have some food" Percy said.
"You're supposed to stay in bed and rest Percy" Katie argued.
"I will be fine I feel much better now" he pleaded her to let him get out of bed.
"Okay fine but try and rest later today" she sighed
As Percy slowly got up from his bed he tapped Thalia on the shoulder as she opened her eyes she smiled widely at him.
"Hi" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi yourself, are you ready for breakfast" Percy asked
The young girl was out of the bed in an instant grabbing Percy's hand and Katie's in the other, Percy started to walk he was in a lot of pain but wouldn't show it he didn't want to worry anyone.
As they were walking through camp people stopped and stared at Percy, a few people came up to him and asked how he was he replied with a smile "I am fine now thanks for asking" as they reached the pavilion everybody looked at the three, they looked like a real family all the campers smiled but the hunters were telling him to go and rest but he refused.
As they were eating breakfast Chiron stood up...
"Capture the flag is tomorrow night as again it will be hunters against campers "he said
As the hunters smiled evilly and the campers grumbling about this should be fun again.
"Percy if you are playing whose side will you participate on?" Chiron asked as everybody went quiet.
"I will be on the camper's side sir" he said back as the campers started cheering.
"well I will be playing then" Artemis said shocking the campers as the hunters cheered.
"Can I play?" Thalia asked
"I'm sorry not yet Thalia soon you can though" Percy said softly
As they were eating the alarm blared through camp getting all the demigods in a panic, Percy gave thalia to his mother as she flashed out he ran to his cabin which he already felt exhausted but couldn't let the camp fall, he put his armour on and went outside.
As the campers charged up the hill they saw at least one hundred monsters in ranks while a tall man in a suit was standing just in front of the army.
"Prometheus you have no business here" Chiron shouted
"Ah Chiron it's been far too long, now where is Perseus Jackson?" Prometheus shouted back
Percy walked in front of the campers as he crossed the safety barrier while they were shouting him to get back.
"Perseus Jackson you have been a thorn in the titan's side but no worry I have come here to offer you a choice" Prometheus said
"And that is?" Percy replied
"Join us become a commander of the titan army you will have legions of fighters, just oppose the gods" Prometheus said thinking he would join.
Everybody in camp heard this as Percy stayed quiet; there nerves were growing until they heard a loud laugh.
"I would never join you Prometheus as long as I'm alive I will fight for my friends and family" Percy said seriously.
"What about the safety of your girlfriend Katie gardener daughter of Demeter or thalia an undetermined child" Prometheus said with a sly smile.
Percy's anger rose as the sky darkened thunder storms could be heard the wind was ripping through the air, he caused a big enough earthquake to knock the monsters and the titan off their feet he could feel his powers draining he was weak as it is but creating this storm wouldn't last long until he felt somebody beside him he looked to his right and Katie looked at him.
"Concentrate on the water Percy" she said
As he did that half of the water from the lake came out of the it went straight towards the enemy Katie grabbed his hand as she concentrated to strengthen the water as they both were still working together the water froze into shards of ice and flew at the enemy, at least half of the enemy were turned to dust while the others were still trying to get on their feet as the earthquake was still wreaking havoc.
"Archers fire?" Percy shouted
The Apollo cabin and the hunters let their arrows fly, in a matter of seconds the whole army of monsters were dead, Prometheus was the only one alive as he had golden ichor running through his arms and legs.
"This is not over Jackson you will lose soon enough" he growled as he disappeared.
Percy looked at Katie astonished.
"How did you do that?" Percy said
"You didn't think Demeter children only eat cereal and make plants" she said laughing
"We will have to see what else you can do soon" he playfully winked at her
"Yeah I won't keep any secrets" she giggled
As they all walked down the hill towards the big house Chiron called a council meeting as all the counsellors from their respective cabins came in and sat down looking at Chiron questionably.
"I think it's time we heard the great prophecy" Chiron said
Everybody started murmuring what it would be until Chiron interrupted.
"Percy go up to the attic and consult the oracle" he said why the other councillors shuddered
Percy nodded as he walked up the steps, as he got in the attic it was dark and creepy in the corner was a mummified woman as he walked up to her it looked like she was watching him with her piercing eyes.
"I request the great prophecy" he said trying to sound confident.
There was green smoke that wrapped around both Percy and the oracle, he couldn't see anything in front of him, as the green smoke disappeared there was a parchment in front of the oracle, and Percy took it quickly as he descended from the attic all the councillors were looking at him waiting to hear what the prophecy was.
He opened the parchment and started to speakā¦
"A half-blood of the eldest gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympus to preserve or raze"
You could hear a pin drop in the big house as everyone was looking at Percy sadly.
"Well this sounds fun" he said sarcastically.
"Percy prophecies have double meanings it might not come true as it is said" Chiron said grimily.
"Yes sir I don't want to worry about that now" Percy said confidently.
"Well my boy that is courage, it's time for dinner" Chiron said
The councillors were walking down towards the pavilion while Percy and Katie slowly walked behind them.
"Why aren't you worried about the prophecy Percy" Katie asked curiously as she squeezed his hand.
"I'm not worried about that, it's because of what Prometheus said about you and Thalia" he replied
"You can't let him get inside your head Percy" she told him.
"But Katie I will fight for you and Thalia with my last breath" Percy said seriously.
Katie kissed him and said the three words that shocked them both "I love you" there was a minute of silence as Katie went to run away ,Percy kept a tight grip on her hand and span her around until she was facing him.
"I love you to" he said with a smile.
Notice
