Daphne
The rec room was a dead zone.
Thalia's pine tree, the source of Camp Half-blood's protection,was on fire and burning fast. They had until the winter solstice before it burned completely.
They were were having a counselor meeting to decide what to do. Daphne was allowed to attend due to her new title as "Ambassador to the Hunters of Artemis." She didn't understand how she earned it since she wasn't a hunter anymore.
Chiron started things off. "We need a quest." He said. "We need a quest to find what can save the camp. What may be the only way to save the camp."
"What are you talking about Chiron?" Rachel, the camp oracle, asked.
"The flute of Pan." Chiron explained. "That relic has enough ancient magic in it to heal the tree."
"I thought Pan faded back in 2008." Annabeth said.
"Pan may be gone," Chiron explained, "but his flute still remains hidden, and I think I may have a way to find it." A satyr, Grover Daphne remembered, stood up behind Chiron. "This is Grover Underwood. He is a member of the Council of Cloven Elders and the holder of Pan's spirit. He can find the flute." He turned to Rachel. "Anything to add Rachel?"
The oracle swooned on her stool. Green mist curled around her. She opened her eyes which were now glowing green and spoke her prophecy.
Four heroes and a guide shall journey underneath
An impossible challenge the hunter must beat
The burning tree destroys your home
The king's last daughter battles alone
One shall wither, and one born again
And you shall fail to return with your prize in the end
That hung in the air for a little bit. "You shall fail to return with your prize in the end." DJ, the recently claimed, very heavy, chick said. "If we won't come back with the flute, then why bother going after it?"
"It also says that five people have to go on the quest. The last time five people went on a quest together two of them died." Annabeth said. "There's no doubt this won't end well."
"The king's last daughter," Chiron pondered, "must be DJ. Zeus is the king of Olympus, and she is his last daughter since..." He didn't finish. Last summer Thalia, another daughter of Zeus, had died on the quest to save Percy, or rather Sola.
"It is decided then," Chiron continued, "DJ, you shall lead the quest for the flute of Pan. Grover you shall be the guide. You may choose three others DJ. Choose wisely."
DJ thought for a while. "Well," she said, "the hunter is obviously Logan so I'm gonna choose him first." Figures, Daphne thought. Those two had been all flirty-flirty since DJ had first arrived. "And then, I guess I'll pick Sarah and then Daphne."Daphne was surprised, and Sarah appeared to be too. Why them? Oh well, too late now.
"Very well," Chiron said, "you five have until the winter solstice, which is five days from tomorrow. By then the tree shall be destroyed along with the camp's protection and the demititan army shall invade. You all shall have today to pack and prepare. Good luck heroes."
