We walk over to our assigned tables. I see Jason so I sit next to him.
"Sup?" I ask, "how did, ahem. . Plan Unicorn work out?" I whisper.
"Amazing. She thought it was someones IPod!" He exclaims.
"Not so loud!" I shush him." She was in her dungeon. Who knows how deep that place is."
"True. Reyna has her secrets so I don't know what's down there." Jason admits.
"Well Ni-I mean Pico knows. He and Reyna actually went down there. Probably for some answers."
"Wow, she probably thought he was an intruder so she locked him up first, right?" He asks.
"Right. Gotta ask him what happened down there." I start to wonder all the possibilities when a horn blows. Reyna stands at the front table, getting everyone's attention.
"Warriors! As we celebrate not only our new arrival of two new legionaries, but also our next quest."
Here we go. Time to man up! I think to my self. After all this is my first quest. I hope I don't die.
"As we all know this requires strength, courage, and the ability to fight on and survive. I nominate the best legionnaire," her eyes focus on our table. This is it! Time to rise up and take a stand! I slowly start to rise.
"Jason Grace, you will lead this quest. Will you accept?" She asks.
Jason rises before I fully stand and answers, "I do." I slide back down in my seat and start mentally slapping myself with a pan.
"The other two still remain. You may be one of the two but only if you have my approval. Then and only then will you be able to go. Reminder: all porbito can not go on this quest. The journey will take off tomorrow after lunch. Also may I remind everyone that only three warriors are allowed on this quest. That is all."
Well it seems Reyna has forgotten about the Sea. I'm supposed to be the Eagle right? Right! Why would I be doubting my self, after all the quest came with me. Why didn't Reyna nominate me or Nicole? After all she is the Sea.
I pinch the bridge of my nose and knit my eyebrows. I sound so selfish when I say that. I mean after all we did just get here. What am I thinking? Acting like a five year old. Well anyways, everyone finishes up their food and gather to their cabins. Everyone thinking about who's gonna be the other two. What's up with the prophecy, etc. On my way to the barracks, Nico runs up to me.
"Hey, what's up? Hey nice necklace."
I smirk and activate Oblivion.
"Oh. That's where you got it. Sweet! Who'd you get it from" He asks.
I put it back into it's normal state.
"It's um. I gift from my dad I think." I say half-heartedly. "I also got the prophecy and this." I reach into my pocket and toss him the other half of the friendship necklace.
"Woah. Half a bullet?" He questions.
I scratch my head. "Yeah, don't expect that from a god of lighting huh? Maybe Mars or someone else."
"Oh, you mean Ares?"
"Uh, sure let go with that." Roman, Greek it's all jumbled in my head.
"Come on, lets see the other cool presents wen we get to the cabin, yeah?''
"Actually. I have some things to do." The picnic of course.
"Oh, that's right." Nico's shoulders drop.
"Hey how about you hang on to that in the mean time. I'll uh, catch up with you later." Nico probably isn't good with bows and arrows but hey. It fits him more than me.
"Yeah sure. I'll see you at bedtime." He walks off.
With the thought of Nico sulking off, I find Alex already on top of Temple Hill. I wave and start to jog.
"Hey! I got the snacks," he says happily.
I smile "How'd you get them? Thought junk food was rare here." I ask.
" They are, I just know people."
"Well, aren't we popular?" I put my hands on my hips.
I take a seat next to him and start pulling out the snacks. I miss the taste of Doritos and the fizz of a freshly opened can of Cola.
"I thought I was going on the quest," I mutter.
"Yeah, well we can't always have our ways. After all we only just got here. Why would Reyna trust us?"
I sigh. "You're right. I think I was just getting ahead of our selves."
"Though," he starts, "you did come with the prophecy, get claimed by Jupiter, and bring another third of the Big Three."
I laugh at my odds. "I still would love to know how Nicole became my niece..." My thoughts drift back to the Prophecy. "The Sea, Eagle, and Death... Jason would be the Eagle now. But since the three of us are on probito, we can't do anything."
"That's not true." Alex says.
"Huh?"
"Who says that we can't do anything! Just because we're on some restraint doesn't mean we can't have an aventure!" He jumps up and exclaims "My bestfriends are part of the Big Three the three of us are unstoppable, we can have our own prophecy!"
"Say what? We can't just run away!" I look up at him. He has a 'ready-or-not' look and is grinning like crazy. this is a whole new side of him...
"Yes we can!" He pulls me up and puts his hands on my shoulders. His eyes lock on mine.
"Bella, we could run away, you me, if you want Nicole too!"
Is he serious?! What are we, eloping?! I really hope not.. If this is about the prophecy sure! An advebture with the three of us? That would be the best! The thought of our own life, own world. I don't care if its the sugar, the idea sounds perfectly sane to me. But if it's something else...
"Alex," I put my hands on his shoulders. I wildly smile and say, "Let's do it."
