A/N Hi. Thank you to those who reviewed! It means so much, thank you! So, one review asked for action to happen, well, action is about to happen and I hope it's enough to hold you guys over till the quest starts. Oops! I've said too much. Let's get to chapter 8...

I do not own PJO or HoO, that's Rick.

Chapter 8- The Next. Big. Prophecy.

Kenzie's POV

Percy lead me into the arena and walked over to a group of people, Annabeth among them.

"Guys, this is McKenzie, my little sister. McKenzie, this is the group. Now, introduce yourselves," Percy went an stood with Annabeth.

"Hi, McKenzie. I'm Piper, daughter of Aphrodite," said a girl with choppy brown hair, her hair had feathers in it. Piper elbowed the boy beside her to go.

The boy beside her had blonde hair and a scar above his lip, "Hi, I'm Jason, son of Jupiter."

"Do you mean Zeus?" I asked.

"No. Jupiter. The Greek and Roman camps interact."

"Oh okay."

"I'm Frank, son of Mars," said a muscular boy with black hair.

"I'm Hazel, daughter of Pluto," a girl with a mane of wild cinnamon brown hair answered.

"I'm Nico, son of Hades," a skinny boy with wild black hair said.

"And I'm Will, son of Apollo but we already met."

"Yeah. It's nice to meet all of you," I replied.

"And it's about time Percy got a little sister," Jason commented.

"Percy, has she meet Rachel yet?" Annabeth asked.

"No, not yet. You guys want to come?"

There was a reply of 'sure.'

Percy and the other people walked out of the arena and I followed behind. Piper and Hazel came and walked beside me.

"So, how are you liking camp so far?" Piper asked.

"It's beautiful."

"For newbies it can be but when you are here a lot, it's just camp."

"Are you adjusting well?" Hazel spoke up.

"I don't know. It's all so new and some of it is hard to believe."

"I can relate. When I was new at Camp Jupiter, the Roman camp, it took a while to believe it all but my friends helped."

"Yeah, don't stress it too much. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Come on, guys. We are here," shouted Percy.

We walked into a cave that was decorated inside. There was a twin sized bed in a corner, there were sheets hanging up, separating different rooms. Pillows were spread around on the ground and there were so many different carpets. Then there was the section that looked like heaven for an artist. A wild red head girl came out from behind one of the sheets. She had bright green eyes.

"Hey guys. Hello McKenzie, I'm Rachel, the oracle."

"How'd you know my name?"

"I'm the oracle, I know all, I see all."

"She is kidding. When you fell from the sky, well, everyone knows your name," Piper said.

"Oh. Nice to meet you, Rachel."

"What brings you all here?" Rachel asked.

"We wanted to introduce McKenzie," Percy said.

"Ah, okay. So, want to see my-" Rachel stopped talking and stood still.

Green smoke started to come from her mouth and she spoke in a raspy voice,

"The Seven are needed once again,

Five friends will join the quest at hand.

The Ocean and Sun shall be the key

To break the curse that binds the sea.

Together the Twelve will succeed or fail,

To win this battle they must prevail.

To stand together in one last rhyme

And face the biggest threat of time."

Rachel passed out and started to fall when it ended but Percy caught her and laid her on the bed. A few minutes passed and Rachel woke up and looked around.

"We should go tell Chiron," Jason said. Percy helped Rachel up and we walked towards the big house. Chiron and Dionysus were sitting on the porch playing some game.

"Hello. What's can I do for you?" Chiron asked.

Rachel stepped forward an said, "I said a prophecy."

Chiron looked shocked, "Really?"

"Yeah."

"When I was on Olympus, Zeus said something about Apollo having a prophecy," I commented.

"Oh dear. Come in and tell me what it was."

We walked in and sat around the ping-pong table. Annabeth told Chiron the prophecy.

"Hmm... I see. Rachel, have you tried that new power?" Chiron asked.

"Well, I've been practicing."

"If you think you can, try it now, my dear."

"Okay. I'll try."

"Wait, what's the power?" Annabeth asked.

"Well, if I focus, I can control the smoke and it will go to the people of the quest."

"Cool. Go ahead."

Rachel nodded and closed her eyes and held out both her hands, palms down. A few minutes later, green smoke unraveled from her hands and sailed across the floor. The smoke wrapped around Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, and Frank. Then it wrapped around Nico, Will, and me. Wait, why me? The smoke trailed out the door and we followed, except for Rachel who had to focus. Outside there was a huge bronze dragon laying outside of the big house. There were two people climbing off the dragon.

"LEO!?" Piper screamed.

"Hey beauty queen. How you been?" a curly brown haired boy said. He was walking over to us. The smoke curled around him and the girl who also climbed off the dragon.

"Hey, what's with the smoke?" Leo asked.

Piper ran to him and slapped him, as did Hazel and Annabeth.

"YOU HAD US THINKING YOU WERE DEAD!" the three of them screamed.

"I'm sorry?"

Piper wrapped Leo in a hug and the guys did the bro-hug thing. And I stood awkwardly off to the side. Chiron greeted Leo and then addressed the campers.

"It seems the seven have been united once again. Now you are all needed for the quest."

"Chiron, wait. The prophecy said the seven and five. The seven are here and only four people...who is the fifth?" Annabeth asked.

"I am," came a voice from in the crowd. Everyone parted and there stood Tucker wrapped in smoke.

"It seems we keep meeting in special cases," Tucker said looking at me.

Oh dear gods.

A/N What did you think? LEO IS BACK and Calypso too. BUT LEO IS BACK! And we got a prophecy! Please review, I want to know what you thought. SO REVIEW! Until next time people.
