Chapter 14

I had been resting for a while when I couldn't stand staying in the room any longer, I decided to go for a walk. When I reach the door of the Big House I saw Rachel walking in direction of the hill, and she wasn't the only one going there. Percy had walked from his cabin and was going there too. It was then I notice that Apollo was sitting close to Athena's statue. Knowing him, I knew he was fighting with his decisions on what to do next. And well he wasn't the only one on that position. I walked to meet him too, had catch a little of the conversation the three of them were having.

"I'm just a mortal now, and I don't belong to this camp." Apollo commented.

"I thought that many times too." Percy said.

"You can't compare it." Apollo said. "Humans can grow and change. Gods do not."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." I said interrupting them.

"Ula, shouldn't you be resting." Apollo questioned.

"And lose the opportunity to say you are wrong for once?" I joked. "You might be a God, but liked you said, you are just a mortal now. Plus, everyone can change here and there." I added.

"It doesn't matter, the Oracles need to be found and secured." Apollo said. "There is no way I can do that and stay here. And I don't want for anyone else to get hurt." He added.

"You sound confident. Does that mean the Grove gave you a prophecy?" Rachel asked.

"I'm afraid so." Apollo replied.

"Kayla was saying she saw you talking with an arrow during the fight." Rachel commented.

"Wait, you found a talking arrow that gave you a prophecy?" Percy asked.

"Not the arrow, the Grove itself gave me the prophecy." Apollo said.

"Talking arrow suits you though." I commented.

"Anyway, like I was saying, I need to leave the camp." Apollo said ignoring me.

"You still shouldn't go alone. It is way to dangerous." Rachel said.

"You should listen, Chiron told be about what his going on." Percy said.

"Thanks for the offer…" Apollo started.

"Don't get me wrong, but I wasn't offering. I still have my senior year to finish. I would love to not be killed in the process." Percy said. "But you still should try and find some help." He added.

"I can go." Rachel offer.

"That is not going to happen, the enemies coming my way would love to get their hand in someone as dear as the priestess of Delphi." Apollo rejected the offer.

"I would go, but I can't be much of help with a broken arm." I started.

"And?" Apollo added.

"And, I'm pretty sure we will cross paths again in the end. However, I do believe that we both need to go separate ways on our quests from here." I said.

"Wait, you aren't staying either?" Percy asked.

"Not for much longer. In the same why Apollo needs to find the Oracles, I need to find a way to defeat the Emperors and fight them." I explained.

"Are you going to find Meg then?" Rachel asked Apollo.

"I will try." Apollo replied. "However, she does not want to be found, due to the influence given by her stepfather."

"I don't like losing people to bad influence." Percy commented. "You can't give up on her."

"You still can save her." Rachel said.

"I hope you are all right about that." Apollo said.

"Can you tell us the prophecy?" Rachel asked.

"There once was a god named Apollo

Who plunged in a cave blue and hollow

Upon a three-seater

The bronze fire-eater

Was forced death and madness to

Swallow" Apollo said.

"A limerick?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, I'm doomed." Apollo commented.

"Wait, those lines. Do they mean what I'm thinking they do?" Percy asked.

"I believe the blue cave refers o the Oracle of Trophonius." Apollo started.

"Not that part." Percy said. "The one about the three-seater, bronze fire-eater." He added.

"No idea about that." Apollo said.

"The beacon Harley created." Percy said. "He said something about you giving him a help, I guess whatever you did worked."

I couldn't admit that I was almost certain of what Percy was talking about since I had been always checking in the quests to him and his friends. But it was better for me not to say anything and just wait for what was about to come.

"Was there any other lines or words to the prophecy?" Percy asked.

"Several, The fall of the sun, the final verse. Um, there was also something about Happiness approaches." Apollo replied.

"There you have it. Happiness approaches. Happy is a name… well the English version at least." Percy said while looking around the horizon. "Yup, your ride is about to come for you Apollo."

We all started to look in the same direction Percy was, and we could see something spiraling down form the clouds. It wasn't long after the Celestial bronze dragon had landed in the camp, with two people. Once of them being Leo, one of the seven that fight against Gaia not long ago, and the second was Calyspo.

Not long after a line form in front of Leo, not to just welcome him back but to punish him from not give any news since he had disappeared. However, even if Leo barely commented on my presence, Calyspo did notice something that no one had.

"Those symbols on your arms." Calyspo said when she saw me.

Of course, she would be able to see them.

"What symbols, I don't see anything?" Nico and Percy asked looking at me.

"Oh, I see. They can't see then, the mist on them must be strong. which means you are the one from Rhea's prophecy from long ago, right?" Calyspo asked.

"Something like that." I replied.

"Wait but what symbols are you all taking about?" Nico asked.

"It's not important." I said. "It will not help you in any way to find who my Godly parent his." I added.
