Chapter 7: We Learn "The Great Prophecy"
Okay, so apparently the big red scaly thing of a dragon does not like half-bloods. As soon as it seen me pull out my Celestial bronze hunting knife it radiated some kind of strange light and I instantly passed out. While I was knocked out again, my dreams were not good, as usual.
In my dream all of the Olympians were sitting on their thrones in their true godly forms. They were all fifteen-feet tall and there thrones were even taller then them. In front of them were three half-bloods and a satyr. The first half-blood was standing at Poseidon's feet. He had jet-black hair and sea green eyes. It was the same boy in my past dreams but he was younger here. Sitting at Athena's feet was a girl with curly blonde hair and gray eyes. It was the girl from my past dreams as well. The third half-blood was really me but older. I was standing next to my father, Zeus's throne. Next to me kneeling down at my father's feet was the satyr. Apparently he was explaining some weirdo story or something like that. He had a black goatee, tons of acne, and brown goat legs.
I wasn't sure what was happening but Demeter, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Zeus, Dionysus, Artemis, Apollo, and Hermes all had their hands raised. Athena, Ares, Hephaestus, and Hera kept their hands down. Then I realized they were voting on whether to kill us or not.
"Thalia, you have to get up!" Luke Castellan's bright blue eyes were staring down at me.
"Luke Castellan," I murmured. Luke helped me up and I hugged him. "Luke, I- I thought you were dead."
"Nope, not yet anyway," he laughed.
"Where did you go?" I asked.
"I landed in Olympus. Somehow, I ended up on your father's throne and he almost blasted me to bits. Before he did Lady Hera threw me off of her husband's throne," he told me.
"Really, you sat on the Lord of the Sky's throne?"
"Yeah," he laughed again. I couldn't help but laugh too. I don't know if it was because we were both emotionally strung or what but we both fell over cracking up. I could've stayed there my whole life with Luke Castellan but a tall centaur came out through the borders of the camp.
"Who are you two?" the centaur said.
We stopped laughing and Luke said, "I'm Luke Castellan, Son of Hermes. And this is Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus."
"Did you say Daughter of Zeus?" the centaur couldn't believe what he heard. "You must come with me."
We followed the centaur into a big blue house. He turned to us and said "Thalia, I think you need to hear this."
"Wait a minute! Who are you and what is so special about Zeus being my father?"
"I am Chiron, Camp Half-Blood's activities director. After World War II a Great Prophecy was revealed and Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades decided not to have anymore demigod children. You and Silena Jackson are the only ones we know about."
"Silena Jackson? Who is she?" I asked.
"Silena Jackson, Daughter of Poseidon and Sally Jackson. She has a younger brother Percy Jackson. He never needed to come here like Silena so they never really knew each other. Selena used to get attacked by monsters and she couldn't fend them off. Sally sent her here when she was six so here she is five years later. Sally had Poseidon erase Percy's memory so he didn't know about this."
"That's so sad. You would think that his mother would at least tell him that he had an older sister." I wiped a tear from my cheek as I spoke. "Does Silena know about her brother, Percy?"
"Yes she does, and she misses him very much," Chiron wiped a tear from his cheek too. "She hasn't seen her family in many years. One day Percy will come and everything will be okay."
"Anyway, what is this Prophecy you were talking about?"
Chiron explained how the Prophecy's worked and all that stuff.
"So, what's The Great Prophecy?" I asked.
"A half-blood of the eldest gods,
Shall reach sixteen against all odds,
And see the world in an endless sleep,
The hero's soul cursed blade shall reap,
A single choice shall end his days,
Olympus to preserve or raze."
"Uh… is it me in the prophecy?" I asked.
"Umm… Thalia it says '…his days' It can't be you." Luke noticed.
"Luke, the prophecies aren't always certain. Why don't you two go stay in your cabins and you can get settled. I'm sure you'll like it here," Chiron said.
