Chapter 7
Travis's POV
"Come with me, Travis. I want to talk to you," Chiron said.
I didn't get a chance to reply as Chiron trotted off. So, I followed. I was nervous. I had no idea what he wanted to talk to me about. We finally reached the big house and I was sweating bullets. I was so nervous. Chiron told me to sit and I sat down on the couch. Chiron stood in front of me.
"So, you probably have no idea why you are here, am I correct?" Chiron asked.
"Yes, sir, I have no idea why I am here," I replied.
"Well, you are here for a few reasons. I have a list right...here," Chiron said as he pulled out a sticky note.
"What does it say? Um-er- sir?"
"1. about the prophecy
2. about a prank
3. about Katie," Chiron stated.
"W-what about K-Katie?""Her whereabouts. Our sources have confirmed that Katie has been kidnapped." Chiron said, a sad look on his face.
"KIDNAPPED!" I yelled. "What do you mean, kidnapped?"
"Kidnapped." said Annabeth, coming up behind me. "To take someone away illegally by force, typically to obtain a ransom. Verb."
"I know the definition of kidnapped, Smarty- Pants." I said, to worried to think of a better nickname.
"Now, about the prophecy..." Chiron interrupted. "Annabeth, you may go now."
Annabeth nodded and left.
"I think Katie is the hidden girl." I told him. "But a pearl?"
"I think the pearl has to do with Poseidon and maybe the Underworld. If you recall Percy's-" Chiron gets cut off by another person.
"i heard the name Percy. What did I not do but is blamed for this time?" Percy asks as he walks through the door.
"We are talking about your first quest. You were given three pearls from your father," Chiron explains.
"Yeah, I remember that! That's how we got out of the Underworld," Percy commented.
"Indeed. Now, go back to your activities," Chiron said.
"Yes, sir," Percy gives a mock salute and walks out
"Now, the pearls return the owner to the sea, but Poseidon must give the pearls to you," Chiron continues."Right." I said. "How in the world do I get a sea god to just give me a pearl?"
"You don't." Chiron answered. "You have to find it."
"Who is the forgotten goddess?" I questioned.
Chiron shrugged. "I have no idea."
"Also, what's that about a girl in gold? And a miserable death?" I asked nervously. "Is someone going to die? Is it Katie?"
Chiron sighed. "My boy, never try to find out the literal meaning of a prophecy. As for the girl in gold, it's possibly Hazel.""You're right. It could be Hazel. So...what do I do now? Who is the second person?"
Before Chiron can answer, Rose comes running into the room.
"Um...Chiron. Rachel told me to come here. I was given a prophecy, when I asked for a quest to find Katie," Rose explained.
"Sit down." he told her. Rose sat down and started fingering her gold necklace. Wait, gold?
"Travis has also asked for a prophecy." he said. "But then there was something about the girl with the gold."
I raised my hand. "Wait, Chiron," I called. "Rose has a gold necklace!"
"My mother gave it to me." she said, letting the necklace fall back into her shirt. "It's just a piece of gold in the shape of wheat."
"It's still gold, though." I reminded her. "But who is the other person in the prophecy, then?"
"That would be you, Travis." Chiron said.
"Me?" I asked. "Why me?"
"Because you received a prophecy."
"Oh. Yeah. That's right. Um, so what now?"
"Well, we must prepare you two for a quest. Usually quest involve three people but I think when you rescue Katie, she will end up being the third person. But I can not be sure. Alright, come, let's get some lunch, then we can start packing," Chiron said as he lead us out of the Big House. We went to our respective table, gave our sacrifices, then returned to eating. I could only eat a little because I was still worrying about Katie.
"Hey, bro, what's up?" Connor asked as I sat down at the table.
"A quest." I told him. "With Rose."
"When are you leaving?" he asked worriedly.
"After lunch."
"Oh. Where's the quest to?" my brother asked.
"I don't know."
"Can I come?"
"No, because the prophecy only said two."
"But...we do everything together, bro."
"I know, dude. But this is a quest for two people. That's what the prophecy said."
"Whatever," Connor said as he walked away from the table. I watched as he left. I pushed back from the table an went to get my stuff. After I found a decent sized bag I shoved my toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, all that stuff inside. I also packed extra clothes an some junk food and money from my secret stash.
Then, I grabbed a few drachmas off of Connor's bed, and a prism for making Iris messages. I wrote a short note, promising to pay him back. Eventually.
After that, I met Rose outside, and we left on our quest.
End of Chapter 7
