Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, i've had several major projects due, but i had some spare time tonight.

I REALLY hated this chapter, because i needed it but i had to take a lot from the actual story, so it's a little bit like a "yeah, we've already read this before, go get your own ideas" kind of a situation. But i'm supreamly hoping that the next chapter will be better... just don't give up on it quite yet haha.

DISCLAIMER: I borrowed a lot of Rick Riordan's thoughts on this one, and the prophecy is word for word. Bear with me. I don't own anything... but i did come up with some of it on my own ;)

"Where is my father?" I asked a passing demigod.

"I don't know, Lord Percy. I haven't seen him since the announcement of your god-hood." He bowed and walked away.

Great. I began to walk around looking for him. I saw that all of Olympus was still in party mode, even though it was pretty much trashed. I suddenly saw one fallen building glow blinding white and become whole again. I walked over to the scene and saw Annabeth literally glowing with pride.

"What happened here?" I asked her.

"I fixed it." She replied casually.

"How? And I don't think it looked like that last time." I said, noticing how it was now made of white marble and seemed to have specks of gold engrained in it. Not only that, but it seemed as though it was taller and more graceful.

She looked at me slyly. "Oh you know. I just told it to."

Oh yeah. She was the goddess of architecture. Of course she could just build structures by thinking about them.

"It's beautiful!" I told her. She beamed at me, her smile shining like sun rays.

"Thanks Percy." She suddenly stopped moving and seemed to be in a trance.

"Annabeth?" I said, alarmed. She blinked and looked at me.

"My mother has summoned me."

I had totally forgotten that my father had summoned me. "Oh yeah, my dad did too." I told her. I held out my hand to her. She looked at it for a second, and then grinned at me before taking it. We thought of our parents and transported to them.

Luckily they were in the same place. We walked to our parents and kneeled.

"Rise Percy. You are a god now." I stood and looked him in the eye.

"You summoned me, father?"

"Yes. Athena and I would like to personally offer our congratulations. We have never before been so proud of our children. You have our blessing and our favor. You are truly our favorite children. And you are the heroes of Olympus. The gods are forever in your debt. But listen to us. There are many things you must remember about being gods. We have been instructed to tell you these things."

Great, I thought to myself. I'm terrible at memorizing things. But instead of listing off dos and don'ts, Athena walked over to Annabeth and put her hands on her temples. Her hands began to glow, and Annabeth's eyes literally turned white. I was about to freak out, when suddenly Poseidon walked over to me and did the same thing. Ancient Greek began to flash through my brain and in front of my eyes. There was no way I could remember everything. But when my father let go, I realized I did remember. I knew all of the Greek laws, the laws the gods had to follow, and every god's domain just like that.

"Now, Percy and Annabeth, you may go. Be happy, my child." Athena said, looking at Annabeth. "Do not fear anymore." I had a feeling she was talking about Annabeth telling her father about her gifts, but Annabeth just blushed.

Our parents disappeared in a flash.

I glanced at Annabeth. She was still blushing, and now she was looking down, as though she didn't want to meet my eyes.

We went back to the building Annabeth had just constructed. As I looked around at my new home, about to settle into the content feeling I had always longed for, Nico came running up to us.

"Percy! Annabeth! You have to stop Rachel!"

"Nico, what happened?" Annabeth asked urgently.

"She took Blackjack and is headed for camp…"

"She took Blackjack?" I said, confused. Actually, I think I was more confused that Blackjack let her take him.

"Why would she do such a stupid thing?" Annabeth said rather loudly.

"No one knows! She just took off when everyone was distracted during the celebration."

I looked at Annabeth. "We've got to get to camp and stop her. I don't have any idea what she's doing, but it can't be good."

"I agree. C'mon Nico." We both grabbed his hands and teleported to Half Blood Hill.

When we arrived, Nico looked a little stunned. "Yeah, I forgot you could both do that now." he mumbled.

"For curiosity's sake, what was it like for you?" I asked him.

"Really cold, and I felt like my face was going to peel off from the wind. But it only lasted about three seconds. It was worse than shadow traveling. Basically, it was awesome." He said, a small smirk on his face.

All of the sudden we saw green lights start flashing in the direction of the camp. We ran down the hill towards the big house. What we saw stopped us all dead in our tracks.

Rachel was standing with her arms outstretched towards the Oracle mummy, who was standing on the porch looking (can you look if you have no eyes?) back at her. We got there just in time to hear her pledge herself to Apollo and the Oracle. The green lights thickened around her until we couldn't see her anymore. Suddenly it cleared and she was lying on the ground, unmoving.

We rushed towards her, but the sun brightened and Apollo appeared in our way. "Be careful! Don't upset the transfer."

"But I can see her dying!" Nico said. I knelt by her side and the others followed suit.

"The spirit is talking hold. You can't mess it up, or something bad will happen." Apollo explained.

Just then her eyes fluttered open. "Percy? Annabeth? Nico?" She tried to sit up, but grabbed her head and groaned. When she looked back at us, her eyes were glowing bright green. When she spoke, it was as though words were pouring out of a faucet, and three different voices were mixed into hers.

"SEVEN HALF-BLOODS SHALL ANSWER THE CALL.

TO STORM OR FIRE, THE WORLD MUST FALL.

AN OATH TO KEEP WITH A FINAL BREATH,

AND FOES BEAR ARMS TO THE DOORS OF DEATH."

Her eyes faded back to their normal color. She blinked and then looked at us again. "Can you help me up?"

Nico and I lifted her onto the porch chair. "What did that mean?" Nico asked her.

"What did what mean?" she said, utterly confused.

"She won't remember the visions. She'll be her normal self… well, most of the time." Apollo said, winking at her.

"What did I say?" She asked. We repeated the oracle to her. She looked stunned and a little proud.

"I believe we just heard the next great prophecy." Apollo announced.

I looked at Rachel. "You're going to be a great oracle." I told her.

"And you," she said looking at Annabeth and me, "are going to be great gods."

And with that, she followed Apollo into the big house.

I glanced over at Annabeth, who had been very quiet during this entire ordeal. She looked like she was about to break out into a wide smile but felt like it wouldn't be appropriate. "What?" I asked.

"Oh nothing." She said in a singsong voice. That was my first clue that there was something. Annabeth never said anything in a singsong voice.

"What aren't you telling me?"

She looked me straight in the eye. "I'll tell you later. Right now, I want to stay at camp one last time as campers before we take on our duties tomorrow." And with that, she walked towards the Athena cabin to find her brothers and sisters. I did the same and walked towards my old cabin. When I opened the door and smelled that familiar sea-spray smell, I realized just how badly I would miss this place. This was my home more than any other place on earth had ever been. And even though I was getting the ultimate upgrade, I felt the nostalgia tearing at my heartstrings.

Yes, I admit it. I even got a little teary eyed.

I walked out of my cabin a little while later and said hi to some of my old friends who had made it back alive that I hadn't seen yet. I was saddened again by the many that hadn't. It suddenly hit me that we would be burning the shrouds tonight. I saw Annabeth come out of her cabin and walk towards me.

"We burn shrouds tonight." I reminded her.

"I know." She said, her eyes puffy and reddened. I realized that even though I was kind of an only child, if you don't count Tyson, she probably had some siblings that didn't make it through the war. Not to mention friends.

"C'mon Annabeth. Let's go find a seat." We started to walk towards the arena along with the other campers who had begun to make their way down as well.

"You know," I said to her as we walked. "We're gods now. I'm pretty sure we could make someone move if we wanted." I looked over and grinned the best I could.

She smiled feebly. "Ha Ha. Let's just pretend for the rest of the day we're not. For old times' sake?"

"Sure." I said. "For old times' sake." And with that we walked into the arena and took a seat.

Yeah i know, not the best ending. But it was getting really long, so i'll try to update with chapter 5 sooner rather than later :) Reviews = Joy, so please hit the little button and tell me what you think! If you ask a question i'll try to answer it, but it could be that i haven't thought that far in advance haha.
