ANNABETH POV:
The conference room had a sad chill after we finished our story about Rachel. Many were teary-eyed such as Sophia and Katie. Chiron looked hoarse even before we told him our theory, but I think he understood it. I locked eyes with Percy and nodded at him to reveal our theory.
PERCY POV:
"So… Umm. B-before she left Rachel kept mumbling about wanting to lose the Oracle's spirit, referring to it to more of a curse then a blessing." Percy stated
"But that's impossible! There's no way to do that!" Clarisse shouted.
"Actually… there is a way" Chiron said. He nodded at me. "Percy, proceed."
"Okay. Well I and Annie were doing some research, well Annie did (Annabeth rolled her eyes) and well, there is a way, but a terrible way, to remove the Oracle. So, we believe Rachel has headed to Delphi, the 'fictional' city in Greece. Stunned silence, everyone pressed me to go on. "But… we don't think Rachel knew all of it. Even if she did arrive at Delphi she needed someone to go with her so she can pass the curse onwards. We need a team to go and find her and I've drawn out the best of you. Ok, me, Annie, Reyna, Frank, Adam for experience and the same for Sophia, as well as Dakota and err Clarisse. Clarisse looked smug. Frank looked honoured. Reyna showed know expression, she never does. Annie looked determined and Adam, Sophia and Dakota looked scared out of their boots. "The only bad thing is… Annie and I traced up all the routes to Delphi, and only one remains."
"Which one Percy?" Frank asked.
"The Labyrinth…"
ANNABETH POV:
Standing at the nearest entrance to The Labyrinth, I gave my speech on how to brave the horrors ahead. These weren't the best group of Demigods, not if we had a wider choice. Piper and Jason were on vacation, Hazel was on a mission with Brooke (another daughter of Pluto recently sired), Grover had retired and started a family with Juniper and Leo was of on his 'Team Leo adventure'. However, scanning the group I saw some great and skilled warriors and Sophia. Percy was loyal to the death, Reyna was a natural leader, Frank had a great ability, Adam was brave, Clarisse was hardcore and Dakota was mean with spear. I relaxed. For a second time, I entered the Labyrinth with a great group of fighters…
AN: Shorter than the others but the groundwork is set. Action in the next chapter! Chapter 5 will start with an Adam POV.
