A/N: Hey guys! Just a quick author's note! This chapter (I believe) is going to be better! Anyways, I do not own Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl! Too bad… Anyways, Enjoy!
X Annabeth
During lunch, Annabeth sneaked over to see to consult a certain daughter. Being ADHD, this was extremely stomach-wrenching and taking forever! She had to get there quickly! Having an invisibility cap helps a lot, though.
Annabeth had finally reached her destination, Tyche cabin. Tyche was the goddess of fortune, luck, and all that magical poufy stuff. She stepped inside while crossing her fingers. You can never have too much luck when someone can curse you.
"What are you doing!" shouted someone inside. "Knock on hard wood! Heard that before?"
Oh, yes. Annabeth had forgotten to "knock on hard wood". Apotropaic means. Annabeth thought. Used to ward off evil, just like the three-fingered claw gesture. Annabeth knocked and a certain boy appeared in front of her.
"Whatcha need?" asked the boy, bouncing up and down from eating too many fortune cookies.
"Uh," Annabeth frowned, she was stuttering. "A consultant, perhaps?" Annabeth smiled hopefully.
"Of course," said the boy flatly, nearly whispering. "HEY FELICITA, SOMEONE'S HERE TO SEE YOU!"
"Bring'em," said a voice.
The boy nodded and led Annabeth to Felicita. As Annabeth walked through, she saw kids flipping coins, humming while using Ouija boards, and more superstitious things. When Annabeth reached Felicita, she noticed she was watching Wheel of Fortune. How ironic… Annabeth thought.
"Thanks, Felix," said Felicita, smiling and giving him a fist bump. She turned to Annabeth. "Hey! Welcome to the Tyche cabin! As you may know, I am Felicita. That boy that showed you in," She pointed at him. "Is my brother, Felix. We share the same father, too."
Annabeth nodded while crossing her fingers and knocking on hard wood.
"Cool."
"Yeah! Look what he gave me for my birthday." She lifted up her arm to reveal a bracelet. "It's a charm bracelet!"
Annabeth shifted. "Uh, yeah."
Felicita noticed her sudden discomfort. "Oh, sorry. Okay, you want me to see what your destiny for the game is?"
Annabeth nodded, suddenly interrupted by shouting.
"FELICITA! GUEST!" shouted Felix.
"BRING HIM OVER!"
Annabeth looked behind to see the coming guest, Artemis Fowl.
Artemis smiled cruelly. "Hello," he said in a mocking tone.
Annabeth gave a small growl as if to say "back off".
Artemis just acted casual in response and rolled his eyes.
"Umm…,"said Felicita. "Are you guys here for the same problem?"
"Yes," they firmly said in unison.
Felicita flinched, grabbing a horseshoe shaped pillow. (HAHA! Horseshoe…)
"We came here to see our destiny for today's match," they both said in unison, giving each other the evil eye.
Felicita whimpered. "No evil eyes."
Annabeth softened. "Sorry, Felicita. I'm just so nervous and overwhelmed. Ever since Percy was sent to Camp Jupiter, things just aren't the same," Annabeth walked over and gave her a hug.
"I, too, am sorry," said Artemis, hesitantly patting her shoulder once.
Felicita smiled slightly and quickly regained her full composure. "Okay! Let's get shaking! Follow me!" She walked over to a purple cloth enclosed area. She waited, and soon a boy walked out.
"Come in!" she said, while pulling the cloth to one side.
Annabeth and Artemis went in and seated on a black bench, keeping as much distance away as possible. Felicita followed as she saw the two go in. She walked to the middle and sat in a chair.
She chatted an incantation: eirí̱ni̱, o theá. Peace, o Goddess. Suddenly, a table rose with crystal ball set atop it.
Annabeth gasped. "Scrying," she whispered.
Felicita murmured an incantation incomprehensive to Annabeth, but with each word, Felicita's eyes fluttered. Abruptly, the incantation stopped, and Felicita's eyes were normal once more.
"Okay!" said Felicita, suddenly interrupting the silence. "Come with me outside!"
Annabeth and Artemis both quickly responded walking straight outside. Felicita smiled at their obedience, maybe she should do this more often. She, too, followed them outside.
Once they were outside, Artemis spoke. "Well?"
Felicita smiled. "What do you think?"
The two genii responded in lots of shrugs. They were, for once, dumbfounded.
Felicita sighed. "I got no news, at all."
Annabeth frowned slightly. "None at all?"
"Yeah, none at all. You see, sometimes the Fates cloud the future so that it may only be revealed by prophecy or experience. That's why I could only see misty experiences."
"Hmm, I see," said Artemis, slightly disappointed.
"Don't worry though!" said Felicita, suddenly bearing a very cheerful smile. "Have some heather!"
Felicita handed them out as the two stared quizzically at the plant.
"It is a lucky plant! Scottish tradition," explained Felicita.
The two nodded, quickly stuffing more in their pockets. "More?" they asked.
"Nope."
"Oh."
"Well, see ya, Felicita!" said Annabeth, walking off to the Big House.
Artemis cleared his throat. "Yes, I best be off to the match as well- Felicita," said Artemis, following Annabeth.
"Good Luck!"
Artemis harrumphed. "Yeah, you might need it!"
Annabeth's eyes suddenly turned into a tempest. "How dare you say that to me? You are the one needing the luck!"
"Says who?"
"Says me!"
"And why does that apply to me? Huh, Annabeth?"
"Because you're going down!"
"Apparently, losers win."
"Ne-" Annabeth was cut off short by Athena.
"And bickering is not wise, "said Athena, suddenly appearing.
"Lady Athena!" said Artemis. "You will be pleased to know a child of yours was bickering!"
"Indeed," said Athena disapprovingly. "And a legacy as well."
"WHAT!" exclaimed the two genii in unison.
"Yes, Artemis Fowl is yet a legacy of me!" said Athena. "Not worthy quite yet, but one day."
Athena placed her hands upon both children and spoke. "My knowledge be upon thee today, and may only the best and most intelligent win."
"Artemis Fowl! Legacy? You can't be serious, Mother!" shouted Annabeth.
"For once I agree as well! Related to such a barbarian! Scandalous!" shouted Artemis.
"Bickering," muttered Athena.
"Fine," the two said in unison. "May the odds be ever in my favor." Glaring daggers at each other, they were transported to a crowded Big House. Let the games begin.
A/N: Hunger Games! Yeah! Anyways, this chapter was a lot better than the previous one! Please keep reading future chapters and review! Thanks for reviewing everyone! -PW
