Sorry for the long wait guys, here you go…
Luna's POV
I walked into the cave and my father waited outside.
"Good luck," he said. Once I entered, I saw a woman with red hair painting a picture of… me?
"Hello?"
She turned around her eyes were glowing a green color with mist coming out of them. I gasped and jumped back. She then returned to normal and looked at her painting.
"Is that me?"
She turned from her painting and looked at me. "It appears so…" I looked at the painting and it was a picture of me facing the woods where two pairs of glowing eyes were glaring through the darkness.
Well that's makes me feel better.
"So you must be the famous Luna I've heard much about."
I nodded. "And you must be the famous oracle that my father told me about."
She smiled. "I suppose you are here for a prophecy, am I correct?"
I nodded. "Well ask a question and let's see."
I thought for a moment. "How do I find Annabeth?"
Her eyes began to glow again and green mist came out. I was still not prepared for that a second time.
Four shall travel west through the dark endless woods,
And find the lost one hidden with the ones in hoods.
Revenge is the drive taken on the moon,
But the blame is reversed on the unexpected soon.
Regret drives the guilty to do the right thing,
But at the cost of a life, not in vein.
The mist disappeared and she was back to normal. Well that prophecy was not comforting.
I walked back down and followed my dad into the big house. I repeated the prophecy to Chiron and my dad. They both looked at each other and then turned back to me.
"Well, prophecies have double meaning, so it may not be as bad as it seems…" I just stared at my father.
"Really? At the cost of a life, not in vein… Pretty specific, don't you think?" He just rolled his eyes at me.
"Alright, well you may pick three people to accompany you." Chiron added.
I nodded and I knew who I had in mind.
"Luna, I have to go. I wish you luck on your quest and hope that the Fates are with you."
"Thanks dad, I'll see you soon."
He gave me a hug and I felt a salty sea breeze. After the goodbye, I left the big house in search of the three.
I found Sol playing his guitar on a picnic table out in the open.
When he saw me, his face broke out into a grin.
"Hey Luna!"
"Hey Sol!" I gladly returned the smile.
"What brings you over here?"
"Oh you know, quest related news, nothing major."
He rolled his eyes, but then he seemed to understand what I meant.
"You got a quest?"
I nodded. "So Sol… Do you want to come? It would mean a lot to me, please?"
He began to think. "Hmmm… How much would it mean to you?" He had this smirk plastered on his face.
I rolled my eyes. "Sol…" I got down on one knee. "It would mean the world to me to know that I have someone I know and trust to accompany me on this dangerous quest. Would you give me the honors of traveling on this quest with me?" He began to 'think'.
"'I don't know…"
"Please?" I gave him my puppy dog eyes.
"Alright, you've humored me enough. I would love to accompany you on this magical adventure."
"Yay, thanks!" I gave him a quick hug and began to run off to find the other two.
"Wait, when are we leaving?" He yelled after me.
"Meet at the top of the hill in half an hour!" I yelled back as I kept running towards my mother's cabin. I asked for Thalia, but she wasn't there. I checked my father's cabin for Nico, but they said he wasn't there. I figured that the two were off together and realized where they were.
I ran off into the woods and came to Zeus's Fist. I turned away as soon as I saw them.
"Come on guys really? Well I was right about where to find you."
Thalia and Nico pulled apart and both their faces were tomato red. They began to fix their clothes and hair as Thalia began to talk.
"Luna, what do you want?"
"Well first, I want you guys to find a new make-out spot, preferably somewhere I don't know about." They rolled their eyes. "Second, I got a quest and want you two to come along."
"Sweet, I'm in!" Nico, always the one to jump at quests.
"Thalia?" She nodded.
"I'm in."
"Great! Meet me at the top of the hill in half an hour."
I ran to the Big House and began to pack everything needed. I made sure I had my necklace on and then headed off towards the hill.
Thalia's POV
Sol, Nico, and I were all at the top of the hill waiting for Luna. She finally walked up the hill five minutes later.
"So Luna, if we are all going on this quest, shouldn't we know the prophecy?"
"Oh right sorry…" She told us the prophecy and I began to think on who could possibly be the one that actually had to do with Annabeth's disappearance. Luna could have for revenge on Annabeth for hurting her father, but she has more of her father's traits and hasn't been alive that long from what she told us. So she may have been born after the fact. Nico could still be holding a grudge against Percy… Never mind, he's way over that. Nico looks at Percy as an older brother and he would never do such a thing any way. Sol is a son of Apollo and isn't connected to this in any way so it couldn't have been him. I know it wasn't me because I would never hurt Annabeth.
This may be a difficult quest…
