Thanks for the review guys here's chapter 2 as promised.
Chapter 2: Quest
Annabeth's POV
I woke up at the first light of dawn and went outside to the beach. As I stared out at the water I started to finger my camp necklace and then I said "I'll get you out of this Percy. I promise you." I walked over to the Big House to see that Chiron and Mr. D were playing Pinnacle (I don't know if I spelled that right, but it's that card game that Chiron keeps beating Mr. D at all the time) Chiron was in his wheel chair. When he saw me coming he said,
"You've come for you quest?"
I nodded.
"Very well then," he said "I'm afraid we'll have to postpone our game Mr. D"
"Fine," He said "But make it quick. If it were up to me we'd just leave that 'Peter Jonson' to rot."
I glared at him as we walked inside. We saw Rachel sitting on the couch.
"Rachel," Chiron said "We need a prophecy."
Rachel's eyes turned green and she said in the raspy voice of the oracle,
"Three shall travel to the ancient land,
To the son of Poseidon's final stand,
They shall follow the Olympian's bane,
To end the goddess Athena's reign,
The trick will end with a hero's last breath,
Only one thing can save his death."
She stumbled and sat back down with a dazed expression on her face. Knowing that I couldn't ask her what it meant I went outside with Chiron to discuss it.
"First you need to pick who will go with you Annabeth." He said.
"Thalia and Grover." I said.
"Ah I thought you might want them to come along so I've already had them pack their bags." He said. Then they came around the corner with their bags with them. Thalia tossed me my bag. Then we sat down at the table and I told them about the prophecy.
"Well the ancient land must mean Greece right?" Thalia said.
"It's our best bet." I said.
"What about the second line?" she asked "The son of Poseidon's final stand….that's not good.
"Prophecies have double meanings sometimes, it may be something different." I said trying to sound upbeat, but the worry in my voice betrayed me. Thalia put a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry we'll save him."
I smiled weakly and nodded. When we finished talking about the prophecy we got in the van so Argus could drive us to the city. I had a strange feeling I wasn't going to see camp again for a long time.
