Chapter 6: PJO
I stare at Rachel. What does she mean sister. I never knew that Rachel had a sister and felt kinda disappointed that she never told us.
As soon as the two people were stable, Will had some other Apollo campers take them to the infirmary to watch their vitals.
Rachel beckoned for all of us to go with her to her cave. Once all of us were there, she spoke.
"I know you're all wondering why I called her sister. Well, we aren't exactly sisters. Not like actual sisters. We aren't blood related either. I think that the easiest way to tell this is to say that Apollo made a prophecy and made 7 Delphi's. Each Delphi held a different part of a soul and each time a Delphi dies a new one is born a Delphi. And the place and looks of the Delphi fit the spirit or part of the spirit that they take on. So even though the original Delphi was in Greece overtime, all the Delphi's have migrated across to the states."
"Like the gods?" Annabeth asked.
"Yes."
I guess it makes sense and I think that Will and Nico think so too because they take that moment to leave. I suppose I should be going too before the Harpies kill me. But I have a question that needs answered first.
"Rachel?"
"Yeah Percy?"
"What's kept you from trying to find the other Delphi's?"
Silence answers me.
"Well, I guess I should tell you. There's a prophecy. And Delphi's dad knows it. And I guess I freaked out when she came because that means her dad, who, by the way is dead, is trying to fulfill it. Which will be slightly problematic. I think that's why the other guy is there. To help. With the clean up. Before any of this makes sense, you have to know the prophecy."
"On night of Blood Moon
Blood spilt shall be great
The Augury
The Phoenix
The Wise
And Old-named
Will gather eight to unite
But four shall retire
before the night
Delphi's keeper bears three scars
Mind
Of Body
Of Soul
To heal brings Ashes
To harm brings Clouds of Pain
The odds are in Delphi's hands"
"The thing is, Blood Moon is in a week and Delphi being here this close to Blood Moon is playing with fire. If only two of us bond then we won't be able to bond with the others until next eternity. So, we all have to be together if we want to bond. Percy, don't worry about it. It'll be fine. Go to bed."
But I did worry about it. And for that reason I was distracted as I bounced from tree to tree on guard for the harpies.
I decided to drop by the infirmary to see how the guests were doing. Will was still awake so I said hi to him and asked of he needed anything. He said no but the guy was up and that I could talk to him.
I ended up falling asleep next to him.
