"I will now take volunteers to go on the quest." Chiron said.
"I'll go." Percy Jackson said.
"If he's going then I'm going." Annabeth proclaimed.
"Not that I want to go with them, but I'll go." Clarisse offered.
"I'll go to, I haven't been on a quest in a while." Leo said.
"Um, Chiron, the prophecy was directed to Magdalene, don't you think she should go and choose who will go with her?" Julia asked.
"Well, I guess." Chiron said quietly.
Everyone looked toward me. I glanced over the faces. I thought about taking Percy, Annabeth, and Clarisse. They had all gone on plenty of quests. It would almost mean guaranteed safety. After all, they had all fought in the war against the Titans two summers ago.
Then I remember my dream and the warning I had gotten from the boy.
"Let me explain my reasoning before I tell you who I take." I started. "Last night I had a dream and some guy dressed in dark clothes told me to take Pollux, Julia, and Andrew. He said that if I chose anyone else the results would not be pretty. Trust me, if I hadn't had that dream I probably would have chosen Percy, Annabeth, and Clarisse, but I have a feeling that I really am supposed to take Pollux, Julia, and Andrew." I explained.
"Tell me about the boy in your dream." Chiron urged.
"Well, he had a black shirt on and dark grey jeans. He also had dark black hair that went right above his shoulders. Oh, and his eyes were really dark blue." I replied.
"Sounds like one of the minor underworld gods. By the fact that you saw him in a dream I would think it would be one of the gods of dreams, either, Morpheus, Phobetor, or Phantasos." Chiron said.
"But Chiron, we saw Morpheus two summers ago and he was older looking, Mgadalene said he was a teenager." Annabeth said.
"Keep in mind that the gods can change forms. They can appear to be old or young, adults or children. It all depends on how they want to be interpreted." Chiron explained.
"So Magdalene, are you sure they're who you want to take?" Chiron asked.
"Yes." I said simply.
"Well, that's settled. We have a couple leads on where the Roman camp is, but the only thing we know for sure is that it's somewhere around San Francisco. It's heavily guarded. You could search for forever and not find it, but you were called to this quest for a reason so I'm sure you'll find it sometime within your lifespan." Chiron said.
"Well that's encouraging." I heard Julia mutter.
"I suggest you start packing, you'll need to leave soon. Meeting adjourned." Chiron announced.
I walked out with Pollux and Julia and Andrew ran to follow us.
"So, what are going to do exactly?" Andrew asked.
"We're going to find this Roman camp and find three Roman demi-gods to help us fight whatever we're supposed to be fighting." I explained.
"Um, sounds fun." Andrew mumbled in response.
"We'll be fine, I know I'm supposed to choose you guys." I concluded.
I walked into the Apollo cabin and grabbed some of my stuff.
"So, you're leaving?" Jonathan asked.
"Yeah, I'm leaving, but I'll come back." I replied. "I'll need you to be cabin leader in my absence." I added.
"Sure." Jonathan said with a smile.
I packed some of my clothes and walked outside of the cabin.
"Hey." I heard a voice call to me.
I looked around and saw Percy standing at the side of the cabin.
"Hey."
"So listen, I have a couple things to tell you. Stay away from Auntie M's garden Emporium and the Lotus Hotel and Casino. Listen to any advice from the gods because whatever you're doing is most likely to their benefit and they might want to help you out. And oh, try and come back alive." He added before walking off.
I sat down on a bench outside of my cabin and waited for the others. Pollux came and sat beside me.
"So much for going to the pier." He mumbled.
"I'm sorry Pollux, when we come back the first thing we'll do is go down to the pier." I promised.
"Sure." He muttered.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"What if we don't come back alive? What if I lose you?" He asked.
"You won't lose me, I'm more worried about losing you." I replied.
Julia and Andrew walked up to us sitting on the bench.
"Ready?" I asked our group.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Pollux whispered, just loudly enough for me to hear it.
"Then let's go." I replied.
