So, before I begin this long awaited chapter (hopefully for some people) I just want to apologize for not updating sooner. Honestly I didn't really like where the story was going anymore and I wasn't really motivated to write anymore. I'm going to give it another chance though and start to point it back into the right direction. I can't make any promises though that I will for sure continue this story. That's it, I don't really have any other excuses, so without further a due (sorry, I'm not sure how to spell that so that's the closest I could get :)) here is chapter 9! And please, no I hate this story reviews. They don't affect me, people are entitled to their own opinions, but they are really rude and you should consider the effect it has on other people before you post reviews like that.

Riley's POV

Things have gotten much better in the last few weeks. I think the real reason Farkle, Maya, Lucas, and I were drifting apart was just because we were trying to settle into our new lives and it was a lot to take in at once. Fortunately, life has started to settle down and now we are closer than ever. We've gotten much better in training and fighting and I'm learning a lot about controlling my powers from Percy. I can even make a small hurricane every once in a while. Nothing compared to what Percy can do, but it's a step in the right direction. I believe that the only way I'm even going to get close to Percy's level of experience is by getting a quest. Which is never going to happen for me. Or so I thought...

1 Week Later

Still Riley's POV

I was walking with Percy, Annabeth, Farkle, Maya, and Lucas when the wild, red head mortal/oracle I've come to know as Rachel burst through the camp earning stares of bewilderment from the other campers. She ran up to our group and started rambling incoherently about a new prophecy different from any other she's received before."Calm down Rachel, one word at a time. Now, what is this new prophecy", said Percy. Suddenly, Rachel's body straightened and went stiff and green smoke poured out of her mouth, curling around her feet as she took on the raspy, struggled speech of the oracle.

A new era of time has come

In their search for the gold

Six half-bloods shall fall

On their knees, earth gleaming with death

They shall learn their lesson

They are not soon to forget

Hero's strung in a straight line

Are to do my biding, till the end of time

Two siblings of Poseidon descend

Will walk this Earth with a guilt over their heads

A child of thoughts shall bring light to a new theory

Loves' son broken inside, will find a true

love and offer he will decline

A new healer and archer will prove his worth

And the Daughter of Hermes, a curse is preserved

Speechless, wouldn't be the right word to describe how utterly silent and confused we were. We passed speechless five exits ago. Unfortunately, I was the first one to talk. Why is that unfortunate, you may be wondering. Because this is what I said: "Well that was a plot twist. We're all going to die." Yep, I actually said this, I'm going to have to go chastise myself later, right now we have more important matters at hand."Um, ignore that last comment please. What I meant to say was, what in Hades does that mean? I mean where do we even start to interpret this?"

"Well, we start with who is going to be in the prophecy. We know that it is six demigods. Not a good number. Obviously the two siblings descending from Poseidon are Percy and Riley, it only makes sense. A child of thought is most likely me, not that I'm trying to act better than anyone, I'm just telling the facts. Loves' son is probably Farkle. A new healer and archer, Lucas, he's the newest in the Apollo cabin, and the daughter of Hermes is most likely Maya. Now for the rest of the prophecy the only thing I have really decrepit from it is that we are looking for some sort of treasure. Gold, is probably referring to something valuable and important. Prophecies are hardly ever straight forward, not to mention the lack of golden objects in Greek mythology. I mean I guess the golden fleece is gold, but Percy and I already found that and it sounds like something much bigger is going on here considering that one line. What was it? Hero's strung in a straight line, shall do my biding till the end of time? That sounds like someone is trying to influence or manipulate us into doing something. Now that I think about it a control freak and gold? That kind of sounds like King Menelaus, but we killed him and there's no way he could have come back from Tartarus already (I haven't finished Blood of Olympus yet, so this story is going to be before the Blood of Olympus)." Okay, let me just say, you go Annabeth. I mean seriously? All that, just from 15 lines of nonsense.

"That's my Wise Girl, always the first to figure out the prophecy. Or anything for that matter", Percy said as he leaned down to give Annabeth a quick peck. I wish Lucas and I were like them. Wait, did I just say that? Oh, phew it was just in my head. I bet it's Aphrodite messing with my brain. Lucas is the last thing I should be worried about right now. There's to much at risk here, I need to stay focused. Wait, what was I talking about again? Ah, whatever, it'll come to me in a minute.

Annabeth's POV

"So, first things first, we need to talk to Chiron about this. I think more than just our lives are at steak here, and we need his knowledge. He might be able to interpret the prophecy better than me. Rachel, you and I will go talk to Chiron, everyone else go pack some clothes and supplies. We are going to have to take the Argo II. Luckily, Leo taught my how to fly it." I announced. Riley looked a bit wary of this idea. So did Percy. They voiced their concerns about flying and I told them that with a group this big, we were like a beacon for monsters. "There's just to many of us to be traveling on ground", I said, "It's safer this way. Plus I'm sure Chiron can talk to Zeus about not blasting you two out of the sky, and it's not like we have to travel by air the whole time. We can use the oceans too." At this they seemed to relax and finally gave in. We went our separate ways after talking through the plan and Rachel and I set off to find Chiron and tell him of the new prophecy.

Line Break

Well, that was useless. Chiron didn't have any information that I hadn't already figured out. He, did however give us permission to go on the quest and managed to contact Zeus and convince him to let Riley and Percy fly. Although he wasn't happy and he put up a fight/ He claimed that one child of the sea was bad enough and now there were two. Plus, he thinks that Percy flies way to often and he's starting to get aggravated. Oh well, what are you gonna do? You know how the gods are, they never want anything to do with demigods and always complain about us, but the second they are in trouble suddenly we find them running to us asking for help and then when we save the world, they don't even have the decency to say thank you! It's ridiculous. The lack of respect they show for us. They were the ones who made us and without us, the gods would have faded or been destroyed millennium ago. Oh, was I rambling again? My bad, sometimes I get a little too into my arguments. The important thing is that we are all packed and ready to go. I already set our destination in the Argo II and Festus has been well pampered to. The only thing left to do is complete the quest. It sounds so much easier when I say it like that. We are headed to Olympus first to find out if the gods know anything useful to us. I doubt they know anything, they are to caught up in their own petty prob;ems to pay attention to anything but themselves. Chiron thought it was worth a shot though, and we have nothing else to go off of, so I guess it's worth a shot in the dark. We set out early the next morning as to avoid other campers and to get an early start so that we could maximize our daylight. Needless to say when Riley, Farkle, Lucas, and Maya boarded the Argo II, they were speechless. It wasn't the same without the original seven I realized with a pang of sadness at the events and memories with the Seven aboard the Argo II. I felt as if they were intruding and they shouldn't have been on board, but life moves on and so do I. There are much bigger issues than my angst at the newcomers and the absence of our original crew. I'll just have to make new memories. The Earth is always evolving and changing so that is what I must do. Besides, it can't be that bad. I have Percy by my side, and he will give me enough confidence to do anything.

Sorry, I know that this chapter wasn't very long and the prophecy took up half of it, but I hope you enjoyed non the less. I have decided to try and focus on other characters from the actual Percy Jackson series more because after all this is a crossover and Annabeth has kind of been in the shadows since now so I thought she deserved a little recognition and maybe a part in the upcoming quest. I know that most of this story so far has also been mostly biased toward Riley's POV and I apologize for that. I will try harder to include the other characters as bigger parts of the story because they are just as important as Riley. Also, if you were looking closer at that prophecy, it looks like Maya and Farkle my have some big decisions coming their way. So, stay tuned and don't forget to review because that will determine if I write another chapter. I need at least 10 reviews if I'm going to write another chapter, and no, flames don't count.
