Chapter Two: Prophecy

The whole room got quiet; the oracle tended to do that to conversations.

"Ok I said lets get it over with." I said. I walked away and went to the ladder that led to the attic. A cloud of smoke puffed out as I went up. Grover and I had put the oracle near the back when she had had her prophecy for Zoë so I had to go through lots of old trophies from quests that had been over for a long time.

When I finally made it to the back we could hear the oracle speak "I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty python. Approach, Seeker, and ask."

Before I could even get the words out of my mouth Annabeth said, " What is our destiny?"

All of the sudden green smoke came piling out of the mummy and it engulfed us. I was on mount Olympus but there were only 4 gods there. Poseidon was the god farthest on the left then Zeus and where Hera usually sat was Hades but to his left was a god I did not recognize. He had the legs of a satyr, a wispy goatee, and tiny horns sticky out of his hair. In truth he looked a lot like Grover. I realized I was looking at Pan.

My father spoke in the raspy voice of the oracle

"You will go west to where the Minotaur dwells"

Then Zeus spoke in the same way

"And if done correctly there will be no farewells"

Then Hades said

"With the help of a loom you will escape being doomed"

Then what I figured was Pan said

"But without Athena's aid you will be entombed."

Then the mist was sucked back into the mummies head and I was left alone.

I Ran to the door and practically jumped down the ladder.

"So what did she say?" asked Grover once we had come down the steps.

As I told him he and Annabeth's eyebrows came close and I could tell they were thinking about the lines of the prophecy.

"Well most of it is relatively simple The Minotaur usually dwells in the home that was made for it thousands of years ago. The Labyrinth is what I believe the oracle was referring to." Chiron began

"And the loom that the prophecy refers to is most likely the way that My Mom considering that she was the one that invented the loom. And if we do everything right no one will die." Annabeth said finishing for him.

"Ok but where is the Labyrinth in America?" Grover Asked

"It would be in a place very large, a place you could get lost in easily" said Chiron.

"I got lost in Macy's with my mom once." The minute I said it I felt completely stupid but it was at that moment Annabeth got an idea.

" I don't know about Macy's but the Mall of America could be it. It's really big, and it's put together to try and make you stay longer just like the Labyrinth. It fits." Annabeth said.

"And that is why It is good to have a daughter of Athena on you side" I ended. Once I said that Annabeth looked at her shoes smiled and blushed all at once.

"So when should we leave?" asked Grover drawing us back to the task at hand.

"Well," said Chiron eyeing Annabeth and I nervously "As long as you all can stay focused I don't see why you can't wait till tomorrow. I'll see you up early here at 9'oclock"

"Come on Chiron can't we sleep in please" I begged.

"Come on Percy" said Annabeth as she and Grover got up to leave.

We had just left Grover to go to his Cabin ( a private one for the satyrs at camp) and it was just Annabeth and I walking next to each other. I was so nervous and I had no idea why. I was amazed at how one girl can make me feel this… unsure of my self.

"So…um how has it been goin with your parents?" I asked, completely aware of how lame a beginning line that was.

" It's been better they've… kind of accepted me for you know what I am."

"I'm glad. They were pratty nice when we met them during the quest last year." I replied.

"Yeah, My step-mom said you seemed really concerned about finding me." She said.

I figured I was in trouble and that at any moment I would screw this up so I decided to go all out.

"Well, yeah. I mean I knew you were in trouble and I didn't want anything to happen to you"

We stopped in front of the Athena's Cabin and She turned, looked me straight in the eyes, and said "I owe you one."

Then Just as she started to lean closer to me the door to her cabin flew open. She turned super red and I guess one of her older brothers pulled her inside because all I could do was stare at the ground and mumble "Goodnight."

While I was walking back to my cabin I felt all the energy go out of me and I just about fell over. I wondered for the second time that day how one girl could have that kind of effect on me.

Hey any ideas on how to write a good prophecy cuz im kinda stumped thanks
