Chapter 7

I slammed the cabin door and jumped into my bed. Nico had woken up and was staring at me.

"What happened?" he said concerned.

"I-I don't really know! I heard this loud booming noise and so I followed it..." I started but Nico cut me off.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, first off if you hear a big booming sound, you don't go bounding after it like some deer. Did you know it could have been a monster? And you don't even have any training." He looked at me sternly.

"Well, first off, I wasn't 'bounding' I was running. And it was interesting and you didn't even hear it. But I ran into this girl with red hair..." he cut me off again.

"Hold up, a red head? Oh no! Did she say anything or had green eyes and junk?"

"Yeah!" He looked worried.

"Okay, I need to know what she said."

"She said: Child of Hades, Poseidon, Zeus,

Will find the children that are loose,

One extra child will be allowed,

But two will be lost inside the ground and cloud!"

I finished. Nico was silent and his face was shocked. The sun was coming up and I could hear the birds singing softly in the trees.

"Nico? What does it mean?"

"I don't know, but I have a pretty good idea. Let's go ask Chiron." We dressed and walked out of the cabin, headed for the Big House.

'Knock knock!' we knocked on the door and I could hear Chiron inside clopping to the door.

"Hello! Nice to see you both up so early," but Nico cut him off, he does that a lot.

"Chiron, we need to talk," Nico said looking at me.

Chiron's smile turned into a frown and said, "Oh, I knew this was going to happen. Come in, come in." We came in and he shut the door behind us.

We had a seat and Chiron turned to us.

"So, we have another prophecy?"

"Huh? What? Prophecy? What do you mean?"

"I mean what you saw and heard last night," he said.

"Ohhhhh okay. Do you want to hear what she said?" he nodded. I told him the "Prophecy".

"Hmmm, yes. Okay well I guess you get a quest early Miss Royal."

"Huh? I'm still not following," I was as confused as a donkey on Labor Day. (I heard that on TV somewhere, I didn't get it either.)

"Okay the Prophecy clearly states that a child of Hades, Poseidon, and Zues need to come on this quest to find lost Demigods. And one other may come along to help," he paused.

"And, what does the last part mean?"

"It means two of you will be left behind," Chiron stated in a low voice.

"It means two of us is gonna die," blurted out Nico. Chiron gave him the 'Really?' look.

"Well it's true," Nico whispered.

"Now you've got to round up a posse, okay?"

"Uh, yeah, sure. But how will I know who is from what god?"

"You ask them, duh," Nico kind of sung. I laughed silently to myself.

When we were free to go from Chiron, we tried to think who to put in our posse.

"Okay, we need one from Poseidon and Zeus. We could use your friend, uh what's her name again?" I rolled my eyes.

"Amelia, Amelia, Amelia! Get it straight!"

"Okay okay you don't have to be mean." But he laughed and I did too.

We found Amelia in the arena working on her sword, by what she was doing it didn't look like she had improved. She was holding the sword backwards so she was holding the sharp part. I ran over to her and took it from her hands.

"Dude! That could seriously hurt you! Are you retarded or something?" She just looked at me and smiled.

"It was rubber fool! Your the retarded one! Ha!" We both laughed together. Nico walked up to us and handed Amelia a bow and arrows.

"Try these," he said flatly. She raised the bow and arrow together and shot a perfect shot into the bull's eye.

"Wow. Thanks," she thanked Nico.

"Sure," he mused.

"Okay, Amelia. What is you godly parent?" She looked at me as if i was stupid, which I sort of am.

"Uh, can't you tell. Zeus! Duh!"

"Even I guessed that!" laughed Nico.

"You guys! You know I'm slow!"

"So why did you want to know? Well because I needed to ask if you could be a part of our posse."

"Your what?"

"Posse."

"Yo, yo, yo!" Nico exclaimed. I chuckled.

"Um, why do you have a posse?"

"For a quest! I'm going on a quest. And it looks like you can shoot that bow and arrows pretty darn good so your in!" She got excited and said she'll come.

Me and Nico looked for Percy next, because I kind of already knew him and stuff AND he's a son of Poseidon.

We found Percy in the strawberry fields talking to Grover.

"Sup," Percy said.

"Wassup dawg," Nico answered. They did this little boy handshake thingy.

"Hey," I told Grover. He nodded.

"Hey Percy, you want to join our posse?" Nico asked.

"Hmmm. Heck yeah! Where ya'll going?" He seems really excited about this.

"We don't know yet we just came looking for a son of Poseidon."

"Well I'm your guy."

"Okay, this is great! Now we need one more person," I thought aloud.

"Uhhh," Nico looked at me in a weird and creepy way, "What about me?"

"Oh yeah! Okay. Ha, ha sorry." He just sighed. I was going on my first quest, yippey!
