Just then everyone started looking at me, and my cheeks turned a bright shade of pink. "W-what?" I asked all of them.

"She said 'the cursed will fall'. That's got to be you," Jamie said as he put a hand on my shoulder.

I just looked at him wide-eyed. Chiron then told everyone to go back to what they were doing and we will figure it out, which kind of scared me.

Chiron then led a meeting between the head counselors of each cabin (Which included me).

"Okay, so we know, or at least think, that Trish is part of the prophecy. But what else do you guys think?" Chiron asked everyone.

"I-I think I might know one part," I said, Chiron then looked at me, "I, um, in seventh grade I did some research on this one place called Ethiopia, and its nickname is the land of mystery. Plus, its name is from the Greek Aithiopia, which means 'Land of the burnt faces'"

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, Clarisse then spoke up, "I think she has a point, I mean its Trish." Then everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

"But there's just one problem, Ethiopia is 1,127,000 square kilometers which is equivalent to about 460,000 square miles. So where would we look?" I asked.

"Well, the oracle did say 'to where you will find the history' does that ring a bell?" Will asked me.

"Well, history reminds me of museums, and I learned about this one famous museum there called Addis Ababa, if that helps," I stated, "Oh, and Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia."

"Well, we have that part, now we just need to try and figure out the second part, 'the cursed will fall, and the trapped will stall'. We already know that 'cursed' is referring to Trish. So, Ms. Sutton, do you have any idea who the 'trapped' would be?" Chiron asked me.

"I, uh, I'm not sure. But I do know one thing, I'm not going on a quest without Jamie."

"I think I know who 'trapped' is referring to," Annabeth said raising her hand.

"Yes, Ms. Chase?" Chiron said.

"Well, none of us here has really been 'trapped'. I mean yes, so of us has been, but I think its Calypso. I mean think about it, she was trapped on the island for hundreds of years. Its got to be her."

"Wait, no, Calypso just got back from weeks away in Alaska, I don't want her to leave again," Leo exclaimed.

"I'm sorry Leo, but this is what the Fates want and you can't go against the Fates," Chiron explained.

"B-but," Leo stuttered.

"No, buts, its been decided, Calypso, Jamie and Trish are going on this quest to Ethiopia. And we hope that that's the right place," Chiron looked at me as he wheeled himself out of the meeting room.

Leo then came up to me, "You better keep her safe Sutton!"

"Look, Leo I would never want Calypso, or anyone to get hurt, okay?" I said.

"Fine," he than walked away to the forges.

Jamie walked up to me, "So, how did it go?"

"Augh."

"That bad?"

"No, I just don't want to leave. Oh and you're coming with," I then walked away to go sulk in a corner or something.

Thanks for reading! And, yes, I'm sorry, its pretty short, but I've been having to do tons of research on Ethiopia and there's only so many hours in a day, so I hope you guys understand. Also, to N.H.I., so I'm doing fine where I live, thankfully I don't have any family members that have gotten covid yet, so I can't understand what you have gone through, and it must be horrible, but I really hope you too stay safe.
