So I was awesome enough to catch a mistake in TLO. You know the first line of the prophecy that was about Percy? It's: A half-blood of the eldest gods.
Well, the Olympians are NOT the elder/eldest gods *is fidgeting with excitement* Look it up! The elder/eldest gods is another name for the TITANS! So technically Rhea is the prophecy kid! Lolz, I wish. But I'm so proud of myself finding that mistake.
Rhea walked into Olympus for the first in more than five hundred years. She didn't look at Zeus or Lillie, who was finally back. She gave a cry of delight as she saw Nickolas again. He was glowing light silver that grew stronger until suddenly it stopped. He looked at Hera, who nodded, approving. He hugged her hard. They stared into each others eyes, gold to silver, silver to gold. Aphrodite sighed dreamily. Rhea glared at her, Artemis nodding encouraginly.
Kronos glared at Zeus, who only blushed crimson red. Hyperion waved his hand, letting the room shine brighter. Coeus nodded muttering "a smart move, niece." Well, he was the Kronian of wisdom with Athena. Poseidon shook his head with the most hatred one could muster, his eyes gleaming with hate. Rhea looked at him, her eyes black with hate as well. Athena laughed, her eyes gleaming with pleasure.
Rhea waved her hand, and the cobwebs on her throne disappeared. The seat glowed white, as the Kronian of Truth, reality, fact, spies and traitors sat down beside Athena. She now had one more accessory, a cloak of darkness; it swirled in black and dark purple. Rhea had her usual sixteen look: a ripped up army jacket, shorts, a black t-shirt and traditional greek sandals, dark chocolate brown hair. Her scythe flew in her hand, the wolves by her feet. Kronos looked at his scythe, wondering who's was more powerful, his or hers. Poseidon sulked at the thought that she was back. But then, Nickolas took his seat on the only empty throne, next to Hermes, as the Kronian of loyalty, tragedy and hope. A few Kronians whistled, Ares groaned, getting his ears boxed by a very strong Hera.
"Go Lily!" I cried as I shocked another person with my spear. Lily grabbed the flag, on top of Zeus' fist and started running. She zigzagged through trees and out. Arrows flew by her. At her retreat, were a bunch of Hermes and Apollo kids. Lily dodged a swipe of a Athena kid and jumped. Time started to bend and no one could breathe. I gasped for air, my eye sight getting fuzzy. I saw a few kids clawing the air. I groaned as Lily crossed the border line.
"Lily!" I croaked.
"Yes?" she asked. I pointed at my throat. "Oh!" she waved her hand and I could finally breathe. I looked around and saw people breathing heavidly. Even the trees seemed like they had ran out of air.
"I think we'll have to make a restriction with using some powers," Chiron muttered to Mr. D as Lily's flag turned a light silver with a scythe over the a wolf. Everything was back to normal... Right?
During dinnertime, she came over. Lily looked sad. Her face was caked with sweat, as if the game had tired her out. It was noisy, people talking about the excitement and their plans for the summer. Lily looked out of place.
"What happened?" I asked through mouthfuls of pizza. Lily took out her scythe. I eyed it suspiciously. The thing was trouble, I could sense it.
"I've decided to join the Spies," she said quietly. My fork clattered across the table. A couple of my siblings looked up.
"What?" I cried. "No!" It was her mother's work, of course!
Lily stared at the scythe. "I-I really want to do this. I think it's me." I rolled my eyes.
"But you can't be my friend if you join!" I complained. "You'll be isolated! You–"
"Why don't you join?" I shut my eyes.
"Because I like camp." Lily laughed.
"No you don't, Alex! You're a child of Hades! Come on!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me toward the borders of the camp, where the Spies waited for Lily. Emi bowed. Lily was escorted by the second-in-command, Bianca di Angelo toward their side. I stood frozen, looking at Thalia's tree. Could I do this? Maybe, maybe not. Emi stared at me, kindly.
"Will you join?" she asked. I looked at Lily, who nodded encouragily. I stared back at camp. I shut my eyes. Friends or family.
"Yes," I said, barely a whisper.
