"It seems like she's about to give a prophesy," I said, "That hasn't happened since the Jason and Percy switch! Someone should get Chiron!"

I turn around to almost collide with the stern-looking centaur. He looked solemn, depressed, even.

"Ch-. Cheer-. CHI-ron. What's going on? What's this about a proph-." Alex stuttered. I smiled. He did have a little trouble with names in lessons. Then Rachel cut him off with her grave, unisonal prophecy voice.

"On Olympus, darkness reign,

Two must go, and dawn gain,

With its light, they will prevail,

Or see their companions consumed by veil,

For the light is fragile, and to be depraved,

The dark to cleanse, to sacrifice the saved."

"It happened again, didn't it?" Rachel said when she finished. The mist cleared. We nodded numbly, still in awe of this prophecy. But before we could say anything back, Brian burst through the pine trees, panting.

"Aimee!" he said, a wild look in his gray eyes. I stepped back, a wee bit nervous.

"Y-yeah?" It's not every day that I get called on. Surprised? Don't be.

"P-prophecy! Uh, rock, and..." He seemed to have trouble telling me. Alex waved him off, surprise on his face.

"How'd you know about the prophecy? Rachel just said one!" he said. Brian's forehead crinkled.

"What? Really? What was it?" he asked curiously. Alex bit his lip, trying to remember. Ah, the gift of ADHD.

"Well, it started with On Olympus, darkness reign." Rachel started.

"That's not like mine..." Brian looked bewildered. Chiron stomped his hoof...foot? What are you supposed to call it?

"Brian, Say yours. It might be an older one, repeated in the scribe's stones we once used." Chiron said.

"Okay...uh...

Three journey to heart's due north

And bring bane of Olympus forth

To stop what must is coming true

Many lost amoungst the new

Inside the maze of eternal pain

Replace the pearl of immortal flame."

I shivered as part of the prophecy alighted a memory that faded away too quickly for me to remember it. Chiron's gaze switched from Brian to Alex quickly before he cleared his throat.

"I am unsure of this meaning. Two prophecies at one time...this has never happened before. I must consult with the other cabin leaders. I'll let you know the progress at the campfire later." Chiron finished. Alex's jaw dropped. He looked like he wanted to protest, but he was silent. I myself wanted to yell out that I should go. I've always wanted to lead a quest, and this was my chance. Brian stepped forward and said something under his breath to Chiron. Chiron nodded. Though he said his response quietly, I could hear it. I always had a pretty good sense of hearing.

"I will contact Achlys and Logan. This could have something to do with them, you're right." he whispered. Who were they? I tapped Alex's shoulder.

"Yeah?" he responded.

"Do you know anything about a Logan or Achlys, from Greek goddess and god recognition class?" I asked. He shrugged.

"Not really."

I sighed. I would find out the answer, no matter what. As Chiron and Brian walked away, deep in discussion, I turned to Rachel. She was shaking lightly.

"Rachel?" She didn't look stable. She managed a smile.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know anything about an Achyls or Logan?"

Rachel looked scared. She fixed her piercing green eyes on my brown ones.

"How do you know those names?" she asked, putting her hands on my shoulders. I watched as her eyes began to glow again. I clapped in front of her face. She blinked and recombobulated herself, speaking again.

"Oh, no."
