A ginger haired girl floated out of the big house and green smoke spewed out of her mouth. She came up to me and spoke. Although, It sounded like 3 of her at once...
"8 shall go to the god of death and chaos,
The god of death shall help at a cost.
1 of king shall lead.
2 of the god of the underworld,
2 of the king,
1 of the wise and 1 of the sea,
and 1 of the goddess of beauty and 1 of war.
One shall perish by death,
One shall be lost in eternal misery,
One shall betray,
and one shall sacrifice for friendship, but be given a chance. At a cost of high price.
Death and King shall form a relationship of either good or bad.
Good will suffer and triumph. Bad will win and loose the bond of trust."
And with that last word she collapsed. The whole camp was silent. Even the gods. Then came a bright light and Apollo appeared. "Please do not bow. Now we must sort out this prophecy." He cheerfully announced whilst clapping his hands. I thought about it. "Well 'God of death and Chaos' is obviously Hades and Chaos.
'2 Of the god themselves' must be Hades' children
'2 of the king' must be 2 of Zeus' kids. Because he is the king of the gods.
'1 wise and 1 of the sea' Must be Athena and Poseidon's kid.
'1 of goddess of beauty and 1 of war' Must be a kid of Aphrodite's and Ares'" I finished. Apollo looked at me gobsmacked. "Deep. Well it said 1 of king shall lead. So that must be either you or Jason." Chiron galloped up to me and took me to the big house. Well... Would you like to lead this quest?" I nodded. "Very well. Who is you request to take?" I thought about it and replied
"Myself, Nico, Annabeth and Percy. From our camp. And from camp Jupiter Jacob, Amanda, Catherine and Zach " Chiron nodded and went back to the pavilion. He loaded up Iris Messaged with the director if camp Jupiter and announced "RIGHT, THERE IS A QUEST. IF THE FOLLOWING ACCEPT, THE PEOPLE GOING ON THIS QUEST ARE NICO DI ANGELO, ANNABETH CHASE, PERCY JACKSON AND CLARISSA SMITH. FROM CAMP JUPITER JACOB GRAHAM, AMANDA MILLER, CATHEINE RUSH AND ZACH COOPER. DO YOU ALL ACCEPT?" There was an uproar of cheers. Chiron then yelled "OK, OK! YOU LEAVE IN 1 WEEK AT NOON! GOOD LUCK HEROES!" Then he got rid of the connection. Only me and Annabeth left to get ready. I got back to the Zeus cabin and packed
. 2 pairs of clothes,
. My charm bracelet,
. 10 squares of ambrosia,
. Half a litre of Nectar,
. Bandages,
. Trainor's,
. My stress ball. (Hey, if I get mad I have to take my anger out on something)
. My phone,
. A pouch of drachmas and
. A pouch of mortal money.
Don't judge me. I like to have everything ready before I do anything. So then I don't have to worry about it later. I was really bored, So I got my book out and went down to the beach for a bit. A little while later I heard hushed rustling. I picked up my dagger and swung it behind me and it caught someone's t-shirt against a tree trunk. I heard them gasp and say "Flawless aim." I gasped. "Nico, What the hell do you think you are doing creeping up on me like that?" He chuckled as I pulled out my dagger and It shrunk back to a charm. "Chiron sent me to tell you that because we are going on the quest we don't have to do any major chores."
"Great." I shrugged. But then I heard a very high pitched squeal. "Harpies." Nico muttered, "Come. Let's go back to the dining pavilion." I nodded and walked off. I got a very harsh look off Drew. She then smiled sweetly as she walked by Nico. She was next to me in turn of the food when she tripped. "Oh, gods." She muttered. I rolled my eyes and went back to eat my dinner.
~NEXT DAY~
NICO'S PERSPECTIVE...
After Chiron had announced the quest, Clarissa and Annabeth went off to their cabins to pack I think. Yesterday was so good. I nearly kissed her! I didn't. But I nearly did. Anyway, Hazel was nagging at me for something. "Why aren't I allowed to come? You need to get ready. Come on Nico!" I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Clarissa told me she didn't want you to come because it said 1 shall die. She didn't want you to die. That's why your not coming, and I'll pack tomorrow." She sighed and looked away. I was curious as to why Clarissa wasn't awake yet. "Hey, where's Clarissa? She should be up by now." I asked out loud. Hazel just shrugged. I decided to go to the Zeus cabin and see her.
~CLARISSA'S PERSPECTIVE~
I was sitting on my bed and looked at the time. 10:45 am. I rolled my eyes. I feel a bit crap today. Maybe I've got a cold. Within 10 minuets it escalated very quickly. By the time I was done in the shower, I had a temperature, I felt hot, I was shaking and I had paled considerably. So I got into some comfy pyjamas and laid down on my bed. I was about to go to sleep when I heard a knock at the door.
~NICO'S PERSPECTIVE~
I knocked on Zeus' cabin and I heard a grunt and foot steps shuffling. Then the door creaked open and Clarissa stood there. She looked like death itself. She had bags under her eyes, she was pale and she was shaking. "Hey, Nico." She croaked. "Hey, you ok?" I asked her. She nodded. Then she shivered and coughed. She then shook her head. She waved goodbye when I stopped the door form closing. "Nico, stay away. I don't want you to get ill." I just went up to her and hugged her. Gods she was boiling! "Are you cold?" I asked her. She nodded. I sighed and took her back to her bed. "I know this is a random question but, Do you have any allergies?" I asked her. She was drinking water, when she responded "Yea. I'm allergic to honey and oranges. Why?"
"What happens if you eat them?" I asked her. She thought about it when her eyes dilated. She then ran up and I think to the bathroom. I decided to stay. She came back with red eyes and said "I get the flu or pass out. Then I need my epi-pen. Don't try it. It only works if I pass out. I just have to wait for this to pass." She sat on the bed and leant against the wall. She closed her eyes. "Aren't you worried about catching this?" She asked with one eye open. I shook my head. She closed her eye and sighed. I pulled her into a hug. She tensed a bit, then relaxed into me. About 5 minuets later, I heard her gentle breathing. She was asleep. I thought for a bit and grabbed some water, smashed a square of ambrosia and mixed it in with the water. She woke up about 3 hours later, looking a little better. "Well, the worst is over. I hope." She whispered. "Nope!" Then she dashed off to the bathroom again. I heard her retching. She came back and I gave her the water. She drank some and then sighed. She went back to sleep. This time I slept also. It was about 2 hours later when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and Hazel was standing there. "Hey Nico, where have you been? I have been looking for you, for ages!" I chuckled and pointed to a sleeping Clarissa. "She's not very well." I explained. Hazel gasped and ran over. Clarissa woke up and hugged her. "Hazel, before you ask, I'm fine. It's passing." Hazel didn't look so sure. But she left it. Later on that day, Chiron asked to see me and Clarissa.
"Get dressed!" I yelled.
"No! I'm not going, or doing anything!" She yelled back. After about 30 minuets, she gave in. I gave her some clothes and we went to see Chiron. It was so boring. Just are we ready and sure about going on the quest? And there will be a Party soon, to honour the gods. And to tell the others. He also gave Clarissa a note. She showed me it.
Hey, Little cousin. I know of your quest. I'm getting married just before tho, do you wanna be my bridesmaid? When you receive this letter, Iris me please. I wanna show you something... xxx luv u 4 ever Maisy xxx

The date of the party was in 2 days. Chiron gave Clarissa her epi-pen and she intently got better.
~NEXT DAY~
CLARISSA'S PERSPECTIVE...
Chiron was letting us go to town to bye out outfits for the party tomorrow. I went with Annabeth, Piper and Hazel. We went to a really expensive shop. Luckily, Piper could charm speak the people into lowering the price. ~TIME SKIP 4 HOURS~ At last! I have settled for the most beautiful dress. Annabeth has chosen a cute top and skirt outfit, So did Hazel. Piper bought a dress also. And the outfits and shoes only came to $100. This is for the 4 of us including shoes.
MINE,
ANNABETH's,
HAZEL's and
PIPER's.
~NEXT DAY~
long story short, we prepared for the party. After it was done, I went down to the beach for a bit. Nico came up to me and chilled with me. I decided to message Maisy about the wedding. It was a bit blurry, but then a black haired girl stumbled into view. "Mom, It's Clarissa!" Mom? Anyway, Maisy came into view after that. "Mom?" I asked. She scratched her neck. "I found her on the street a few years ago. I adopted her. Guess what?"
"What?"
"Oh, who's your friend?" She asked obviously hinting at Nico. "Oh, that's Nico." She greeted him and he greeted her. "Check out my house!" She yelled whilst standing outside. It was the most beautiful house ever! Here are the rooms I got shown

Before she could say anything else, I heard Chiron call us. I said to Maisy, "When's the wedding? I've got a really nice dress for it."
"Tomorrow. And good. Bring Nico if ya want. Tootles!" And she was gone.
~NEXT DAY!~
I woke Nico up especially early, to get ready. It was a 4 hour flight. Nico was so nervous because his dad and my dad didn't get along. I just prayed that he didn't shoot us out of the sky. We got to Beverly hills and went straight to her home. I got ready with her and Nico got ready with her soon-to-be husband. She looked absolutely beautiful Next was her adopted girl Niki She looked geourgous. This is what I wore. Then Niki walked down with the cousin's child of the husband. I walked down with Nico and then came Maisy. The ceremony went on as usual, and then we went to the evening due. Me and Nico changed into this. It was so much more comfy than our wedding outfits. The hall was decorated really nice, so was their cake. And it was delicous! The right at the end of the party, just before speeches, Percy, Annabeth and the people for the quest burst in. They looked me and Nico dead in the eye and said "Chaos has struck. It's time to see Hades..."
