Percy made his way to the Attic, once he got in there he noticed a mummy and there was things from places. There was green smoke coming from the mummy and the mummy stood up. "I am the sprit of Delphi, Speaker of Prophecies, Oracle of Phoebus Apollo slayer of the mighty Python. Come seeker and ask your question." The mummy said. Percy was thinking that why it was mummified.
"How do I get back the items of the gods?" He asked the Oracle.
Three shall go west to the God has turned
to the get the items you seek and safely returned
the child of the sea and sun shall get the one who has raised him back
and they will get betrayed by the one they call friend."
The oracle said to the teen who was trying to get the meaning. He came down to the war room to everyone "So how did it go?" Annabeth asked the boy. Everyone looked at her to say 'At least let him sit down.' But she ignored them.
"Three shall go west to the God has turned
to the items you seek and safely returned.
the child of the sea and sun shall get the one who raise him back.
and they will be betrayed by they on who they call a friend." Percy said as he confused looks. Chiron also looked at the teen.
"Maybe it means him since he is the campion of my dad." The head cabin leader of Apollo said. Everyone agreed with that but Chiron had another idea. He saw the way that the sun god looked at the boy.
Unfortunately he had no evidence of his theory only speculation for more of he ever saw Lord Apollo or Poseidon again he would ask. For now he would watch the boy closely to see if he was adopted by the sun god or just a champion as the god claimed.
"Who will you be taking on the journey with you?" Chiron asked knowingly that Annabeth Child of Athena would want to go, but it would not be up to her.
"Clarisse La Rue and Will Solace." Percy said shocking a lot of people okay a child of Apollo? That's a given since their dad is his patron and he is close to will, but Clarrise?
"Your choice is bold Perseus." Chiron stated at the young hero's choice of companions, to say Clarrise La Rue was shocked that a Sea spawn chose her was an understatement, the Apollo cabin cheered for their fathers champion.
"Well I am new to camp so Clarrise would be good as a warrior to teach me and Will well we could use a medic knowing us demigods." Percy said it was logical but there was un-happy demigoddess in their midst and her name was Annabeth Chase daughter of Athena. Who was angered by this so called sea spawn he needed a daughter of wisdom like her.
"Finally some respect for Ares!" Clarisse yelled out it was about time, no one in this camp respected her father or her cabin mates until Jackson. If she had to teach the kid more things one on one then so be it.
"Very well. You will leave at dawn." Chiron said as this happened he left leaving the demigods to talk amongst themselves. One in particular was about to have a conniption fit she was angry.
"Kick someone off!" She yelled Percy raised his eye brow at the girl why would he kick Will or Clarisse off the quest for her?
"Why?" Percy asked really confused he hasn't had much to do with the child of Athena. She just taught him Ancient Greek, the Apollo head counseland Clarisse couldn't believe the daughter of Athena at all demanding Percy to kick either Will Solace or Clarisse La Rue off the quest for her.
"You will need a child of Athena on this quest Sea Spawn!" Annabeth yelled at him, Percy was confused as to why though did she think that Clarrise, Will and himself was not that smart? Or was it that she thought she was better than everyone else?
"No I will not." Percy said but that just angered her more, Percy was angry aswell he had chosen his companions but the daughter of Athena decided she was going as well.
"Why?" She Said hotly as to why the sea child wouldn't want her with him she was smart and just as good as Clarrise.
"Maybe because I already have chosen my companions, and I don't want to kick either of them out." Percy said getting annoyed with the Daughter of Athena was all children of the Goddess like this? Whiny? Thinking they are smarter than everyone else?
"Too bad! I need this quest!" Annabeth said which confused the son of the sea as to why she needed it Percy walked off not wanting to continue this arguement.
At dawn break the trio of heroes were ready and waiting for Chiron to come up to them, before that Luke Castallen came up to them and handed somethings to Percy. A pair of winged shoes which Percy knew immediately that he couldn't wear since Lord Zeus would vaporise him for being in his territory. Aswell as a shield which he put both items away in his bag back.
Heading towards the bus depot, there way L.A as they think Lord Hades had someone stole the Lightning Bolt Percy knew it wasn't him. Why was he blamed in the first place? Percy thought he hadn't met Lord Zeus or did anything to him. So why was he blamed for him losing his Bolt?
With them on the bus it didn't take them long before trouble found them three old women who were the kindly ones it was quite an experience with one of them but all three of them? Oh man the gods did hate him or some of them did he hoped his patron and father didn't hate him, or Clarisse's dad. They managed to get out of the bus, Percy who was still weirded by the furies that their Lord was missing something important.
Away from the bus the trio made their way to a good smelling place with food. They couldn't read the letters but they were hungry with all their stuff that was in the bus. They walked up to the building with statues, it felt so strange and foreboding but they were hungry.
"Hello children I am Aunty Em." Came the voice of a veiled woman Percy wanted to narrow his eyes at her, Percy didn't trust Aunty Em. By the looks of it neither did Clarisse and Will but Clarisse openly glared at the woman.
Since no one could tell her the truth Percy quick thingking saved the hour! "Hello we are lost we went surveying the town we are with the circus! As we are orphans (sigh sadly.) but we were meant to be back to the ring master by now could you help us?" Percy asked with his best sad face and the other copied him.
