Later on that night , I sat by the campfire unable to get to sleep. I was in a doze or like a trance, I didn't know what I was thinking all I knew was I was thinking about something beyond the world.
"Nice night" a voice I recognized said behind me, I jumped. Heart pounding I turned to see Kyle glowing in the moonlight.
"Don't do that" I exasperated while turning back to the campfire.
"Sorry" he grumbled and went to sit beside me. I didn't really want him too but I couldn't say leave so I just sat there, he clearly had something important to say cause he kept mumbling to himself.I stared at him. His blonde hair was messed up with mud and other gunk, but you could still make out his brown streaks. His skin was a warm glow and his eyes were scareful even though the saphire eyes tried to hide that. He turned toward me, smiled and I quickly turned my head, blushing a bit. " I told Chiron avout your dream, he has requested a quest for you" Kyle explained, nodding towards the big house. I sighed and got up, then headed down the path. Kyle followed, him at my heals. As I entered the replica house, Chiron was sitting on a red rug and Dionysus was reading a magazine bout wine. I knocked on the door before entering, none of them responded but Chiron nodded his head. I walked in steadily but surprisingly Kyle took my hand and pulled me. We both sat on a cushion infront of Chiron, I noticed Annabth and Percy were there too. Chiron studied me then stood up looking taller then a regular man and commenced his explanation.
" I have gathered you four here, regarding the peculiar dream Silver has been having. I have requested a quest to the gods and they have approved. The quest is focused on finding the orb of deception, supposivley located in an ancient underground libary. According to the dream, the four of you shall venture out to the saharan desert." Chiron explained, while marching around the room. The four of us remained quiet. "Silver shall lead the quest as it is her destiney" Now Chiron stopped his paundering and looked directly at me. I could feel the other's looking at me too. "Silver you better go visit the oracle, she's in the next room over there." As I got up, my legs felt like lead, I didn't know what I was excepting only that I'd be meeting someone. Just as I was about to open the door, my wolf senses kicked in and I smelled the foulest smell ever, like a deceased corpses, but had never been alive for thousands of years. Of course as I entered I was right, there was a mummy in the middle of the room. I approached with caution, and when I was about 5 feet away a funky aura came out of it's mouth. It swirled around me then formed an image of a wolf. I tried to walk backwards without it noticing me but right as I was to reach the door it spoke.
" I am the spirit of Darari also known as the oracle, ask me your one question to aid you in your journey" the wolf spoke with an erie woman's voice. I was curious so I thought for a moment or so, then it hit me.
"Uhh yes, how will I find the orb deception?" I asked it weakly. It shook it's head then gazed at me.
"You will journey to a vast plain land.
To get on the move you must risk a life.
You will find on what you search after a fight of deragnous
You will desipher the code which lays within
You will suceed the plan and will find a man." The wolf finished her poem then instantly dissapeared back into the mummy's mouth. I walked shakily out of the room and landed on a cushion next to Kyle who looked confusily at me. I just glared down at the cushion.
"Silver what did the oracle say?" Chiron asked me, I took a deep breath and repeated it exactly. The others just studied me, trying to figure out the saying. Finally Chiron, interupted there train of thought, mines aswell. " Well, you better get to bed, Argus will drive you to the airport in the morning". Percy made a slight whimper but no one seemed to notice. We all trotted outside and headed for our treehouses. Before I entered mine, Kyle came over to me.
"Listen bout the quest, I uh...will do fine" he said reassurigly but I noticed he was also reassuring his self.
"No worries, if your on the brink of death i'll kick the monsters butt" I said with a smile, he smiled back and with that we parted ways. I slumped on my bed now exhausted and worried but I fell asleep instantly.
