Alpha: HEY GUYS!

DISCLAIMER:

Alpha: Time for the ever pointless disclaimer!

Nathan: Let me guess. It's my turn?

Alpha: Aren't you a smart one

Nathan: Fine. Alpha does not own PJO or any of the original characters, he only owns his own characters and Piper-Weasley owns James.

Chapter 13

Nathan's POV

Chiron trotted back and forth. "It just doesn't make sense." He muttered. We had explained to him what had happened and he trying to make sense of it. Kalli was tapping her hands against her legs impatiently (A/N: okay I don't know if you recognized this but Nathan calls Kal Kalli so if you see Kalli he talking about Kal). I have known her for a long time so I know that even if something scares her, she will not give up and do what she thinks is right. They both looked nervous although James seemed more scared for Kalli then he was for himself. Don't ask me how I know that, I couldn't explain it. I have always been able to tell when people are scared or nervous and I could tell why. I guess it has something to do with my father being the god of fear. Kalli stood up.

"Look, we already know this doesn't make any sense but that doesn't change the fact that I got a prophecy and I apparently have to do something about it. So why don't we skip the part where we worry and panic about the things we don't understand and focus on the prophecy instead." She sounded like she just wanted to get the discussion part over with and get on to what she has to do. Even if what she had to do scared her out of her.

Chiron frowned at her. "I'm afraid you don't know how serious this situation is Kalliroe."

"No I understand how serious it is, which is why we can't just sit here biting our nails! We know who the enemy is, son of Kronos or not The Figure is bad news. So let's just figure out the prophecy!" Everyone else seemed surprised at Kalli's outburst but not me. I know she is usually gets this way when things get serious. But there was something different about her now. She seems more determined, if such a thing is possible, and it sounds like this prophecy is just a challenge she wants to beat. Which that could be a good thing, but it could be a bad thing too. If she rushes into a quest this big she might mess up.

Chiron raised an eyebrow at her. He looked at that guy, Percy. "For your sake I hope she isn't always like this." He turned back to Kalli. "What exactly did Rachel tell you?"

"Uhh…that she's an oracle….and uh…"

"No, I mean the prophecy." Chiron corrected her patiently.

"Oh, well…uh…." She looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth shook her head.

"The prophecy was, daughter of the ocean and her friends, Shall travel west to where the land ends."

"Oh now I remember! The next part is, The Mountain of Age will soon rise, by the hand of the son tricked by lies. Then it goes um… The Son of Time's fight you must prevail, and without a friend's help you will fail."

"Hmmm, The son of time… that one still worries me…" Kalli gave him a hard look.

"The Mountain of Age…I've never heard of something like that…" Annabeth said.

Chiron looked down as if thinking something, and whatever it was it wasn't good. "I'm not sure either…"

"Well we know where we have to go right?" James said. "The prophecy said that we needed to head west."

"To where the land ends." Kalli finished. "So basically I need to go west until I hit ocean."

"And then what?" Chiron asked her.

"Um…."

James looked at Chiron. "Obviously then she will find this son of time and we can find out what the Mountain of Age is. The prophecy said that it would rise by his hand."

Chiron shook his head. "We don't know that, lines in the prophecy usually have double meanings."

"Well we know where we have to go right? That's a start."

"Um excuse me?" Chiron and James looked at Kalli.

"Who exactly is we? The prophecy said the daughter of the ocean and her friends right? That would mean me and my friends but exactly which friends am I suppose to take?"

Chiron smiled at her. "That would be your choice. Usually two more people accompany you on your quest."

"So me and two others."

Percy stood up. "I'm going with you."

Kalli smirked. "Sorry Perce, the prophecy said friends, you're my brother so that doesn't count."

"But—"

"No but's about it. Besides, Chiron said I get to choose."

She looked at James. "James will you go with me?"

James grinned. "Are you kidding? I'm not letting you go without me!" Kalli smiled.

Elizabeth tapped Kalli's shoulder. "I'm going too." We all looked at her.

She looked at all of us and said. "Do any of you know how heal wounds and shoot a bow with accuracy?" Chiron opened his mouth to say something but Elizabeth held up her hand to stop him. "You're her mentor, that doesn't count." Now no one said anything. Elizabeth smiled and crossed her arms. "I rest my case."

"Okay then…" Kalli turned to me. "Nathan would you…"

"Ah Kalliroe. You already have two people who are going with you. You can't bring another." Chiron told her.

"But…" Kalli thought for a minute. Then she smiled. "Sorry Chiron but Nathan has to come."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, my dad gave him the job of looking after me to make sure I don't get hurt. So unless you want to take it up with him…"

Chiron smiled dryly. "Well I guess there's nothing I can do. All four of you will leave in the morning. Percy, help your sister pack for the quest."

I'm guessing he said that because Percy looked pretty upset about not being able to go on this quest with Kalli.

"It's decided then. You should all go pack. Argos will take you to the city in the morning."

Kal's POV

I put another shirt in my bag. Percy was kind of mad at me for not letting him come, but he'll get over it.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come?"

"Percy I'm sure. I'll be fine I promise."

"No don't you promise me anything. That's just going to make me worry more."

"You, dear brother need to relax. Have some faith in me okay? I am the daughter of Poseidon you know."

"That's what I'm worried about. Monsters are going to be able to track you down easier than the others. Not to mention your traveling with three other demigods which means that you'll—"

"Be fine." I finished for him. "Percy I can do this okay? I may not be some savior of Olympus, but I am still me."

"I'm just so worried." He muttered.

"You have made that quite clear. Percy I am going to be fine don't worry, besides I want to do this! That stupid Figure has haunted me for a long time so this is sort of like payback."

"That's what this is to you? Payback?" he sounded on the verge of yelling.

"Of course not, that's just a happy bonus, I want to be able to see what I can do. I mean I have been at this Camp for awhile and I haven't been able to fight a single monster or anything. I want to see if I'm actually learning something."

I zipped my bag shut. "I'm going for a walk at the beach and you are going see Annabeth, if anyone can calm you down its her."

I didn't give him time to protest, I walked out and headed to the beach.

I sat down on a big rock that was lying in the shore. I looked at the ocean and smiled. I loved the water, I always have. It's like a completely different world down there.

I watched as a small little crab walked onto the rock I was sitting on. He was almost to the top of the rock when he slipped and started to fall.

"Whoah!" I rushed over and caught the crab before it fell. "That was close little guy, you almost fell and got yourself killed."

The crab snapped its two pinchers in the air at me.

I could have survived that fall! And who are you calling little guy?

I blinked. Then I remembered I could understand sea creatures.

"Well sorry that I saved you. And you are little."

OH, OH! She said it again! You want some of this? Bring it!
The crab started scuttling back and forth on the palm of my hands and jabbed its pinchers at the air.

"Hey stop that! It tickles!"

TICKLES?! I am so going to pinch you!

"You do that and I might just drop you on the stone."

No wait…what I meant was uh…um please don't drop me.

I laughed. "Don't worry I won't."

I talked with the crab for awhile and then let him go back to the ocean. After that I went back to the cabin to go to bed. I was going to need the rest.
