Will and Nico ran as fast as they could to reach Chiron. They told Chiron the prophecy and his face fell. He quickly gathered himself and called for Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth was fuming - why couldn't her life be normal just for once!?
They sat down at a table and began to talk. Suddenly, an iris message appeared. It was from Thalia.
"Artemis knows of your plans to save Apollo. You cannot go through with them," She barked.
"Why?" Will asked.
"Artemis feels that Apollo should pay for his crimes against Olympus."
"Can we hear that form Artemis herself?"
Nico scowled at Will and whispered to him, "Quit it! Maybe they're right."
Will stood up and shouted, "you think that they are right?! What the hell, Nico?"
Nico looked to the floor and muttered, "I didn't mean it like that."
All eyes were on the two boys. Will sat back down. He held Nicos hand under the table. He apologised for raising his voice. An uneasy silence filled the room.
The iris message cut out. The table was silent for a moment and then Annabeth broke the silence.
"We will help you, but we are not coming with you!"
Annabeth took Percy's hand and took him outside. Percy was shocked at this newfound anger in Annabeth. Percy held her and kissed her gently.
"We said that we aren't going to fight monsters or go on quests anymore!" She whimpered.
"I know Annabeth. The prophecy said that we will help them, not go with them. This is their quest. We'll just guide them along."
They kissed again and out of the corner of Percy's eye, he saw Nico and Will walking off in the direction of Coach Hegde's house.
