Annabeth POV:
I said good-bye to Percy, because Chiron explained to him that only members of the quest could come and hear the prophecy. He looked reall disappointed. I felt sorry for him. He probably felt all left out. Not to mention, not being able to do anything while waiting for your best friends, and your girlfriend to return from a quest.
Chiron and I gathered up Grover and Clarisse, and we walked through the Dryad forest and to our new oracle's cave. We moved the purple curtain, and entered. There, in the middle of the cave, was Rachel with her frizzy red hair in a headband.
Rachel and I got along pretty well now that she is an eternal maiden and all. I admit it, I was insanely jealous of her and Percy hanging out together a few months ago. Especially when I found out that she kissed him before he went to blow up the Princess Andromeda. (I know what you're thinking: You thought that I never knew about the kiss. Well, you thought wrong. I have my sources around Camp Half-Blood. And no, I will not reveal their identities. Otherwise, Percy will hunt them down and turn them into sea water.)
"Rachel," Chiron addressed. "It is time to hear the prophecy for Annabeth's quest."
She nodded in understanding. Her eyes turned green, as green as Percy's eyes. And a thick, green mist formed around the cave, encircling Rachel. Her voice seemed to be tripled. As if three Rachels were speaking at once. But her voice was different. It was the Spirit of the Oracle that was speaking.
Three Half-Bloods shall head West to find the demigods in chains
At Camp-Half-Blood, one remains.
In order to go this one will stay While the others go out to prevent doomsday.
Facing enemies from the past You will come to a land large and vast.
Only sacrifice will have the lost demigods be free, and one will fulfill his destiny.
(AN: alright, that was my lame attempt at a prophecy… Sorry! Oh, and thanks to princess3170 for her help!)
Rachel collapsed with her last word. "I'm alright," she said weakly. Chiron had her sit down, and gave her some water.
"A sacrifice, right?" Asked Grover. "What kind of sacrifice? Hopefully not sacrificing your life."
"Do you think that I'd know?"
"I don't know," He shrugged. "You are the daughter of the goddess of wisdom.
"Well all we know is that some one would have to make a sacrifice," Annabeth began. "That some one would have to stay, which I'm guessing would be Percy. Also, that we need to head west to a land large and vast while fighting off plenty of enemies. And in the end, some one will fulfill his destiny."
Rachel nodded. "Yep, that basically summarized the whole prophecy."
"It could have been worse," said Clarisse. "Considering the last Great Prophecy."
She was right. The last great prophecy predicted some unpleasant events.
Chiron headed towards the exit to the cave. "Thank you for your time Rachel. You should all go back to your cabin and get some rest. It will be a long journey."
I hugged Rachel good-bye and walked back to my cabin, and I got into my PJ's. I tucked myself under my warm covers, I closed my eyes, wondering what the sacrifice could be, that was predicted in the prophecy. After letting my mind ramble on possible things that could happen for a while, I soon drifted into a doze.
Percy POV:
I couldn't believe that I was going to be doing this, but it was my only shot. I should have maybe thought this plan through a little more, but hey, I am a Seaweed Brain, aren't I?
I sneaked into the boy's shower room. It was past midnight, and everyone was fast asleep. I walked over to a sink, and filled it with water. I dropped a Drachma in, and whispered, "Goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." The coin disappeared. "Nemesis, minor goddess of balance, I said."
And sure enough, an image of Nemesis came in through a cloud of mist. She had chestnut hair, and chocolate brown eyes.
"Son of Poseidon," She addressed. "Why Iris-Message me so late?" She demanded.
"I am sorry, but I was worried that my friends would see me if I did this while they were up."
She nodded in understanding. "So, what exchange do you want from me?"
"How did you know-"
"No one ever wishes to see me unless they want something from me."
"Oh."
"Well?" She asked angrily. "What do you want? I don't have all night!"
"I was wondering if um, I could exchange something of mine and that you could heal my leg."
Cliff-Hanger Alert! Will Nemesis agree to Percy's offer? What will Percy have to trade? READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!
