Sorry it took so long to upload, I had some serious writer's block and my mom took away my computer for the week. But now it's back! Yay!

And then he inhaled.
Reyna lunged at Percy again with her golden spear, just to make sure they were seeing things right. They were. Her spear bounced off him, like nothing had happened.
"Well, this could make things…difficult." Hazel stated, awestruck.
"We're supposed to kill every Greek we come across." Frank said. "But our weapons won't work on him!"
Everyone averted their eyes toward Bobby for an explanation. "He must bear the Curse of Achilles." Bobby stated, his glasses glinting. "Making him completely invincible."
"We could try poisoning him." Reyna suggested.
"And do you just so happen to have poison on you, at this very moment?" Gwen questioned.
"Well, no, but-"
"What are we supposed to do, Gwen?" Dakota exclaimed, impatient as ever.
"You could start by being a little quieter." Percy complained, now sitting up. "You woke me up when you were still outside!"
Everyone spun around and aimed their weapons at Percy.
"You mean to say you were up this whole time?" Reyna questioned, glaring. He nodded.
"Akward!" Hazel sing-songed.
"Shut up!" Everyone said in unison.
"So." Bobby began. "What do we do now?"
Just then, a howl of pain shred through the air, and they all bolted from the cavern.
…
Percy followed the new guys down a series of hallways, and then stopped in a large cavern the size of an arena. It looked like every kid was there, which made about 300 of them. In the center of the arena was Lupa, clutching her head in agony.
"Bring me…" She struggled to speak, "Perseus Jackson!"
Immediately, everyone who had just tried to kill Percy pushed him toward Lupa.
"Um, hi." He said, quite confused.
Lupa's eyes rolled into her head, and a mist the color of Percy's eyes began to swirl around her as she spoke his prophecy.
You shall travel East, through blood and gore
to earn their trust, forevermore.
You will get lost, and lose a friend
who swore to stay with you 'till the end.
You'll open Olympus, and you will see
the stars fall down to be with thee.
"So…" Percy said. "that was a prophecy, right?"
"Yes, child." Lupa answered. "That was your prophecy."
Percy looked ecstatic. "So I'm ready for my quest?"
Lupa tilted her head. "That depends. What do your instincts tell you?"
His face darkened. "My instincts are telling me to grab as many people as possible and get the Pluto out of here, while I still can."
Lupa nodded. "Who would you lie to accompany you?"
Percy smiled, knowingly. "How about everyone who tried to kill me just now?"
Gwen and company walked forward, all of them looking ashamed. Except for Reyna, who was grinning wickedly.
"Then it's settled. The seven of you shall depart at dawn." Lupa changed her gaze, and screamed, "Disperse!"
And the arena was empty once more.
Alright, I realize that my prophecy was A LOT like the great prophecy, with there being seven of them and someone dying who swore to be with them 'till the end, but I SWEAR that was a coincidence. I didn't even notice until I wrote it all, and there was no way I was re-writing that thing. It may be a while before i post again, because I have to research some myths, AND I ONLY HAVE THREE COMMENTS! If you want more, PLEASE COMMENT! Please! Tell me if I need to imporove on ANYTHING! Do I need more description? More dialogue? TELL ME YOUR FEELINGS! Thanks :3
