It actually got fixed two days ago and NO ONE told me. I am going to be punching people in a bit, but you finally get your chapter! Enjoy

Percy: A New Tale is Started

Me and Annabeth led Rachel over to a chair. Cora just stared, confused and lost. If I hadn't known what was happening, I would have been. No one had expected this. Chiron was looking a little worried. Nico and Hunter both had a face that said what the Hades?

When Rachel straightened up, her eyes were glowing serpent green. We knew what was coming, when she did speak, her voice sounded tripled, overshadowing a heavier rasping voice. In the voice of the Oracle she rasped:

"Child of Power, Born of the Sea,

"Holds great power to the Key,

"Life or death, within her grasp,

"Must soon make a decision fast,

"To her heart an endless battle,

"But true peace to end the lattle."

Slowly the glow in Rachel's eyes dimmed and her body sagged as she returned to herself. She blinked and looked around.

"Are you all right, my dear?" Chiron asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. That was . . . intense," she said shrugging it off. You have to give her credit, not many people are good at that.

"You've got to be kidding me," Annabeth muttered sitting down next to Rachel.

"Uh, should we go get the cabin leaders? Or anyone else for the matter?" Nico asked.

"Not yet, but Rachel and Nico go and wait in the Big House. I wish to talk to Cora and her friends alone," Chiron instructed. Nico nodded glumly and walked out. Rachel stood up and walked calmly out. I still marvelled at how she doesn't mind.

I sat down with Annabeth on the couch and squeezed her hand. Cora remained standing; she had a scared, yet determined look on her face. Hunter was standing behind her, glaring after Rachel and Nico. And I had a feeling it wasn't anything to do with Rachel.

We all were quiet. Chiron was probably waiting for Cora to speak, since it seemed the prophecy had been directed at her.

"That wasn't supposed to happen; was it?" Cora said eventually. Chiron sighed.

"No, the Oracle has only ever spoken if Rachel is asked a question. Never from a touch," Chiron told her.

"So what does this mean then?" she asked

"I'm not sure," Chiron admitted. "But it disturbs me, as well as some of the lines." I sighed, this was purely insane.

"Chiron, this sounds like things for a meeting," I pointed out.

"Not all of it. The first line, 'Child of Power, Born of the Sea'. I believe Annabeth has some insight on that," Chiron said.

"I do?" Annabeth asked. Chiron nodded. Annabeth thought for a moment. Then realization dawned on her face. Which is good, since I had no idea what Chiron was talking about.

"What are you all talking about?" Cora questioned. She looked pointedly at me, and I could only give her a shrug.

"Cora . . . when you arrived here, the fight that happened, well, we think you're the one who ended it," Annabeth told her. I looked at her, what did that have to do with anything?

"What do you mean? I was just scared then," Cora protested.

"Well, no, we think you might have somehow . . . exploded them. You sent out a wave of energy," Annabeth admitted.

"You're crazy," Cora decided. Her expression said she didn't want to listen to what was being said.

There was a moment of silence as Chiron looked between all of us; between my worried expression, Annabeth's thinking one, and Cora's scared but somewhat stubborn one (though mostly scared). Chiron sighed. "Anyway, let us go down the Big House. Annabeth, Percy, go and gather all the other cabin leaders," Chiron told us. We nodded and went off to the Commons.

When we got there, the first person we ran into was Clarisse, at first she acted hostile, but when we finally explained, she knew the severity of what was going on. Instead of going off to the Big House, she walked to the middle and started yelling. Yeah, we had meant to keep this quiet; but Clarisse and her big mouth were shouting to everyone about an emergency meeting.

When we did gather all the leaders, we headed off to the Big House. We had Piper from Aphrodite. Leo from Hephaestus. Jason from Zeus. The Stoll brothers from Hermes. Clarisse from Ares. Katie Gardener from Demeter. Will Solace from Apollo. Castor from Dionysus. Then there were all the minor gods leaders; who sadly, I can never remember all their names. There are way too many of them. Plus all the Roman Centurions.

We all trekked over to the Big House. Chiron, Rachel, Nico, Cora, and surprisingly Hunter, were all waiting for us in the war room. Really it was us sitting around a ping pong table. No idea why, but that had officially become the unofficial place for meetings of cabin leaders.

We all sat down, and the table was extremely crowded now. Chiron remained standing at the head, Rachel was beside him. No one here but those who were present at the speaking knew what had happen. Just that there was a meeting and a new prophecy.

"Attention!" Chiron said over everyone else's voices. Gradually we all quieted. "We have a new prophecy." Everyone groaned.

"So another quest?" someone asked. A few people looked pointedly at me and Annabeth.

"I believe there must be," Chiron admitted.

"So what exactly is the prophecy?" asked Conner Stoll. Chiron glanced at Rachel. She cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

"This is the prophecy," she said. "Child of Power, Born of the Sea; Holds great power to the Key; Life or death, within her grasp; Must soon make a decision fast; To her heart and endless battle; But true peace to end the lattle." Everyone was silent for a minute, thinking over the lines.

"What does lattle mean?" Travis Stoll asked eventually. Annabeth opened her mouth to respond, but Katie Gardiner beat her too it.

"It means to the end of your days. Or end of the millennia," she informed us. I thought for a moment.

"So basically it's saying true peace until the millennia is over," I said. Everyone who already knew the meaning nodded.

"Well, the prophecy has to be for you Percy, it says born of the sea," Will Solace spoke up. I shook my head. Everyone's face morphed into confusion.

"The prophecy was made to Cora," Annabeth intervened. "It clearly is her prophecy, her father is Poseidon too." A couple people muttered uncertainly, well, it's not any of ours faults.

"You punks are all missing one important fact," Clarisse growled.

"Oh? And what is that?" I asked her sourly. She glared at me before replying.

"The prophecy doesn't tell you where to go," she pointed out. Hmm, I hadn't even realized that.

"Just because it's not stated outright doesn't mean we don't know where to go," said a quiet voice. We all looked over. It was Cora; her eyes reflected a fierce determination, as well as mild fear.

"What do you mean child?" Chiron asked her.

"Well," she started. "Even though the prophecy doesn't say where we should head, doesn't mean we have no clues. There are different ways to know things. One way - the prophecy - won't tell us, but a second way might." Now she had confused me.

"Uh, Cora, what are you talking about?" Piper asked her. Cora gave a small shrug.

"It's hard to explain, but it's a bit like knowing through a feeling, an impression. I can't describe it. Percy and Jason, you two get what I mean, right?" she said, looking at us hopefully. Jason nodded and so did I. I sort of knew what she meant.

"Nevertheless," Chiron interrupted, bring our attention to the impending doom. "Cora, do you accept this quest?"

Cora hesitated for a moment, "Yes." A few people let out a breath. Seriously, this didn't even affect them.

"Very well, you are allowed two companions," Chiron told her.

Cora drifted into thought. I couldn't think why, no doubt she'd bring Hunter, then probably me, since I am her brother. Her green eyes flitted from me, Annabeth, and Hunter. She thought for several minutes. I started to get worried. Then, nervously, she said, "Annabeth and Percy." Okay, was not quite expecting that. Even Chiron looked surprised.

It took him a moment to speak. "All right then, Annabeth, Percy, do you agree?" Chiron asked us. We both agreed immediately – Annabeth was a bit surprised. I glanced at Hunter, he looked extremely upset. All he knew, was something had been decided and he hadn't been named.

"You three shall leave tomorrow at dawn. Top of Half-Blood Hill. Meeting adjourned," Chiron told us. All the other cabin leaders walked out, a few wishing us good luck. Both Chiron and Rachel and Nico left as well.

Cora was still standing and staring out the door remorsly. It was probably from not bringing Hunter - they had become friends. She took one quick look at us, and I saw that she was slightly upset and worried; then she spun away and ran out the door.

I looked after her, sighed, and put my arm around Annabeth. Today was going to be a long, long day.

A/N: So? *excited face* What do you think? I want to know! Needs editing, I know, and yes I made up a word, I know. This was kinda crappy in some sections ... I finally added to this in my now 168pg file! Got into the groove. Then I was sent to bed and lost my whatever-you-want-to call it. My mojo? No idea. Anyways, tell me what you thought in any way possible. And like me on facebook! I'm serious; I'll start replying to reviews there if you like me! Also, I (hopefully) will be getting an interview soon. My friend has youtube (and was popular till people found her in real life!) and will be doing an interview with me. So like me on facebook and you can see it! That's all. Until later!
