Chase's POV
(I know, there have been a lot of these lately.)
"Well?" Chiron asked, as soon as I got back. I swallowed; this was not a good prophecy.
"She said," I cleared my throat, "Go were to sky fights to meet earth/ Find where the land was first given birth/ Take twisted blade which once was sword/ Use once again against it's lord/ you will chain what is broken and confine evil soul…" I couldn't say the last line. I just couldn't, "And that's it." I lied. Stupid, I know, but I was scared. I didn't want to admit it, as if saying the line out loud would make it real. Hell, in this world, it might just. Chiron looked at me gently, as if telling me not to worry. I have no idea why it was as comforting as it was. He sighed,
"This prophecy is remarkably clear," He told me. I just stared. Clear? Where we listening to the same prophesy here? "Where sky fights to meet earth is mount Othrys, or Mount Tamaulipas in California, where Atlas holds the sky. That is also where the earth was believed to be born. Twisted blade which once was sword… that sounds like Kronos's scythe. That would also explain the following line, seeing as it used to belong to Uranus. The last line," there was a bit of skepticism when he said last, and he gave me a knowing look, "shows that you will succeed in confining Uranus." I felt uncomfortable. Sure, I would succeed, but at what price?
Sel's POV
When Chase came back, Hoshi was with me, helping me practice with shadows. I'd managed to make forms, and Hoshi was teaching me how to breathe 'life' into them. I'd just managed to create a little fox creature. I decided to call her Kokoro no Kagi. Not the most creative name, it meant heart of shadow, but it worked. I called her Kagi for short. She was jumping around, and it was rather cute. I looked up and saw Chase walking over, I almost called out to him, but the look on his face silenced me. He looked… Pained. It worried me.
(Line break! First one in a bit!)
"Sel…" Chase called out. I put a smile on my face and tried not to act as worried as I felt. "I got a quest," he told me. He told me about his conversation with Chiron.
"I'm coming." I told him. He opened his mouth as if to protest, but I cut him off, "I can fight, I've taken kendo, I'm getting pretty good at using my powers and you're my friend. You need three for a quest. I'm going to be one of them." I was not going to tolerate any arguing from him. He seemed to realize this, and sighed in defeat.
"Who should I invite as a third?" he asked. I shrugged, I had no idea. Hoshi, who was a bit forgotten in all the excitement, stood up with a murderous look on his face.
"Come with me" he growled. Chase followed him, confused. Ten minutes later, he came back to where I was, ashen faced.
"I'm never going to try to get on the wrong side of you're brother." He told me, and wouldn't say another word.
Ok, I know it's kind of short, but I have an emergency! I have no idea who should be the third person on the quest! Suggestions? I can't update until this is decided! I will even take O.C. suggestions! Please, who else should go on the quest?
