Please guys, R&R but when you do, give out some ideas. I don't have many right now so this chapter might suck a bit lawl. If you want something, tell me and I will probably write it in. (98% positive) Thanks! :-D

Thalia and Ryan started to find more and more reasons to see each other. They had trouble seeing each other during the night because Grover had alerted Chiron and Chiron had put some wood nymphs in charge of the grounds during the later hours. But they did manage it because in a way, Thalia was in charge of herself. Grover and Sally had stopped coming to camp because they were safer than other demigods but Thalia loved it there. So Thalia could "order" the Poseidon cabin to have the same workouts, lessons and breaks as Ryan. Chiron was getting normal reports of their on-goings that were around other people and he was getting sick of hearing about it. Finally he got some good news. He approached Thalia at lunch. "Thalia, if you would accept it, we will be sending you on a quest that could take a while." Chiron thought it was wonderful because she would leave Ryan behind and her parents could stop sending Iris-messages that just made them yell at him.

When Thalia approached the Oracle, she was nervous about what it would say. You could never expect what it was going to say because the task would probably be dangerous. She stood in front of it and waited.

Five ways the journey make,

Five ways the hearts will break,

Bravest hearts will stay strong,

But their love might not live on,

Up to the North you will go,

Then down the river you will flow,

Valleys, seas and scary lands,

From the biggest fruit to the neighbouring land.

Look out for the sixth problem.

The picture that was talking to Thalia was her parents, Chiron and some blonde man around the same age of her parents. She guessed it was Luke because the scene was a battle field and he was standing away from the others. Thalia started speculating what the Oracle said when she went downstairs and out of the Big House. She needed to bring four others and they would all get into trouble. But what disturbed her the most was the part about love. If that was the case, should she bring Ryan along if it put their… she didn't know what to call it yet; (relationship?) in jeopardy. She knew who the other three she wanted to bring; she had some very strong friends that couldn't be "broken" easily. There was Byron Stoll (Travis Stoll finally settled down.) who, like her father, had a way with weapons. There was also Nina Underwood (Grover and Juniper) who was the perfect person with nature. (she was half a tree) And her final decided companion was Hecate DiAngelo (somehow Nico, I'll explain in another chapter) she was named after the Greek goddess of death and she would definitely be helpful but Thalia wasn't sure how yet. The only problem was Ryan. Yes or no?

She had made her decision. Thalia was positive about it. The obvious answer was she would take him and they would deal with whatever happened during the quest. The less obvious answer was the right thing. Leave Ryan behind, make everyone happy and make sure that the two did not break up or ruin their friendship. Whatever she did, somebody would not be happy. So she decided to leave him behind, keep many people safe and happy and bring somebody else. She didn't know who yet but she knew it would be strong. As she approached Ryan, the sadness in her eyes gave her decision away. He would miss her so much and he would think of her all the time. She began to speak.

"Ryan, I have to tell you something. During my quest, it said that there would be a lot of danger and I don't want to risk a life. So I have to leave you behind.
