The same day, 10:00 AM, Percy's POV
What's more?, I thought.
Since the trip from Tartarus, I had admitted me and Annabeth hadn't been really... sane. We defeated Gaea and put her to sleep, but the experiences remained. We still have nightmare about the flame river where we have to drink it for strength to go on. Then there's all the Arai with their reverse-curse ability that had nearly killed me. From that trip, we never see anything as safe. Whether it is a cabin get pranks from Hermes demigods, or a tree collapsed on a camper, Annabeth believed it was another plan from the Titans or the ancient gods and goddesses.
On the bed now lay Jacqueline, a daughter of Hermes. Annabeth has been sure she was mind-wiped by Hera (and how she knows, I got no ideas). But with Jacqueline's confuse face when she saw her closest half-sister, Margaret, I believed Annabeth wasn't wrong.
"Tell Chiron we need a quest", Annabeth has said.
Normal demigods will just think the Olympians get a problem and just ask demigods to solve it for them. That is nothing dangerous, except if they want to kill you afterward. But my mind is screaming about Jacqueline's lost memories, It's a trick!The Titans had captured Hera and forced her to do it!
No!, the other part said. It is Tartarus getting his revenge!
"Stop!", I said, then realizing it was aloud.
"Something is wrong?", Annabeth turned to me, her face full of concerns.
"Um, nothing is wrong", I replied, knowing full well it is the exact opposite.
We move on, passing the volleyball court and arena and stumble on Felicity Ankroms, daughter of Apollo.
The girl was just as ADHD like Leo, as she always found some excuses to do something. With blue eyes like Jason's and blond hair like Annabeth's, she looks like a very (and I mean very) hyperactive kid. She might even beat Leo if there is a contest called "Your ADHD Level".
"Whassup Margaret!", she said, waving to the child of Hermes. "And hi Jacqueline... wait, something is wrong?"
"It's a long story", Margaret responded. "Well, a short one. We will explain at the Big House."
And so the daughter of Apollo joined our group to escort a mind-wiped Jacqueline.
At the Big House, Chiron was playing his usual game of pinochle with Mr. D, our camp director. This time, Amy Tombleson was also there. A child of Athena, Amy is related to Annabeth in many way, from the liking in books to the courageous personality. She has brown hair and hazel eyes, which seemed a little weird to me since most got gray eyes like Athena.
"Chiron, we have a problem", Annabeth said, her tone show cautiousness.
They seemed to started noticing Jacqueline and her state of surprise.
"Who are you all?", she mumbled, trying to break free of Annabeth's hold. "Leave me alone! I need to find the golden apple!"
"The Golden Apple of Aphrodite", Amy gasped, putting down her cards.
"The child is not insane", Mr. D grumbled, turning his attention away. "I suppose there's nothing I can help."
I really wanted to do something to let him realizes this is a real person, not a joke or one of his stupid plants. But then I thought about all the thing he did to help us on the quest to defeat Gaea.
Maybe he wasn't a bad god at all.
Alright, I just definitely got more insane, I thought. And I will go full-crazy if I ask Mr. D to help me.
"Let's sit down and explain what happened", Chiron said.
And so, Jacqueline went on to describe the quest Hera has given her, and how the memories will be lost if she failed. That cursed Hera, always uses her mind-wipe power to force a demigod to do something. Looking at Jacqueline, I remembered me and Jason being traded place to each camp. That didn't help my temper either.
A moment of silent until someone spoke, and I'm surprised it's not Annabeth.
"Hera has a history of mind-wiping people", Amy recalled, looking at me. "It's not very strange to see her do it again. But why does she cared about the Golden Apple? Shouldn't it be Aphrodite who will order this quest?"
Another silence. Annabeth was staring at the pile of cards on the table blankly. I searched my brain for any hints, but none came back.
"We don't know yet, but a quest lead by Jacqueline is what we do know", Chiron decided. "Jacqueline, you have to meet Rachel Dare the Oracle for the prophecy."
"I will show her the way", Margaret volunteered.
"Where are we going? What dare?", Jacqueline complained, but her half-sister grabbed her arm and pulled her outside.
"Hera, what do you want?", She muttered to herself. Poor Annabeth, I thought. After all the stresses on her shoulder, it seemed to do some damages to her brains. Hopefully it's not permanent. I put one arm around her, but I know that wasn't enough.
"We will find a way", I said out loud, but knowing it was for me and Annabeth.
