Author's Note: This chapter was a little rush considering I got back from vacation yesterday but I was so inspired that the words just came to me. It's a little short but it finally starts the main plot line of the story. Please review, I would like at least some feedback.

It was about three o clock in the afternoon when everybody finally arrived at camp. We had almost 150 campers at camp this summer, so capture the flag was going to be much more fun. The only girl who seemed to be out of place was a red headed girl who stayed with Chiron all day.

"Hey Cathleen," Landon and I walked over to Cathleen and Amber, "do you know who that girl is over there with Chiron?"

"I don't know Landon, but she must be important to be other with Chiron all alone." Cathleen looked over to the girl, "Do you want to go find out who she is?"

I smiled, "Maybe. Landon, do you want to go over there?"

He smiled playfully, "That depends, what do I get out of this?"

I kissed him on the lips and slid my hand under his shirt, "Oh, I don't know, maybe I'll give you myself later as your reward." I had him hooked and I knew he'd do anything I'd want him to do.

"Sure, I'll go over there if I get that good of a reward." He smiled and kissed me on the cheek, "So, what did you have in mind for tonight anyways?"

"Oh, I was thinking of something sweet. Maybe some strawberries and whip cream or some hot fudge sundaes."

Amber waved her hands in the air, "Whoa guys, to much information about your kinky sex life. Now, can we go see who she is?" She laughed and we nodded our heads.

The four of us walked up the hill to Chiron and the red haired girl, "Hello Chiron and company, I don't think we have met yet. My name is Ryan, what's yours?"

The red head smile, "My name is Rachel Elizabeth Dare." She looked over at the rest of the group, "Who are your friends and who are you demigod children of?"

"I'm a son of Poseidon."

"I'm Landon, son of Zeus."

"I'm Cathleen, daughter of Zeus."

"I'm Amber, daughter of Demeter."

"Oh, that's cool. Well, I am the Oracle of Delphi." Rachel smiled.

I smiled, "You're the new oracle, that's cool."

"Yeah, it's fun, except whenever people ask me questions, I respond to them with a prophecy." She laughed and seemed to warm up to us. "So, are you guys here for a prophecy or just to say hi."

"We originally came over to just say hi, but if you're in a prophecy giving mood, we'll take one." Landon laughed, not knowing what he just asked for.

Rachel's eyes turned green,

"Six shall travel west to the land of souls

And finding two old friends will be the goals

Of the group with a sudden surprise

One of the friends will be an unwanted prize

When crossing through the valley of sand

One shall be lost unto the land

The first of the friends will be found

In the desert on the ground

The one who is lost will hear a chime

And will use become possessed by the titan of time."

Rachel fell to the ground, unconscious. Landon looked over at me, "What just happened?"

I swallowed hard. "You were just assigned a quest Landon, and it sounds dangerous." I gave him a worried look and he seemed to be fidgeting next to me.

"Oh dear, this is not good." Chiron looked at Landon, "All of you, come to the big house. We will be having a meeting of the cabin leaders as of right now." He picked up Rachel and we all followed him to the Big House.

* * *

It was only five minutes after Rachel's prophecy and all the camp leaders were there. Chiron came over with a short, stout man in a tiger print shirt. "Alright all you demigods, pipe down." He looked over at Shane and smiled, "Hello there son, welcome to camp."

"Hello father." Shane bowed his head.

"Chiron, please tell us what this emergency meeting is all about."

Percy and Annabeth came into the room late and sat down next to each other. "What did we miss Mr. D." Percy looked over at the man in the tiger shirt.

"You have not missed anything yet Percy. But this will most likely involve you." He looked over to Landon, "This boy has just received a quest that will once again start our troubles."

"So what did Rachel prophesize?" Annabeth looked over at Landon, hoping that what she was probably thinking was wrong.

Landon stood up, "She said that six shall travel west to the land of the souls, and finding two people will be the goals, of the group with a sudden surprise, one of the friends is an unwanted surprise, when traveling through the valley of sand, one shall be lost unto the land, the first of the friends will be found, in the desert on the ground, the one who is lost will hear a chime, and will become possessed by the titan of time."

The whole group became silent, "Are you kidding me." Percy stood up, "After all we did last summer to prevent his revival, he's going to be coming back."

"This is what the prophecy foretells, but remember Percy, prophecies don't always mean directly what they say." Chiron went over and put his arm on his shoulder, "It said that they will become possessed by him, but it may be like what happened with Luke and they're only being manipulated by him."

"I understand that, but that means that one of the six people who go on the quest will be manipulated by Kronus." Percy looked at Landon, "You're the one who got the quest, pick your team." The words came out like sharpened daggers.

Landon looked scared stiff, but managed to speak. "I pick Ryan, you, Nico, and Annabeth."

"But Landon, that's only five people including yourself, who else will you pick?"

A boy sitting next to Clarisse stood up, "I shall be the last member of the team." Clarisse smiled happily at this. It seemed that she was happy that a member of the Ares cabin would be on the quest.

"And who are you?" Landon asked.

"My name is Brent Edwards, co leader of the Ares cabin."

Clarisse stood up, "I completely trust Brent, so anyone who doesn't will have to answer to me."

Nobody questioned Clarisse because nobody wanted to be on her bad side. "Ok Clarisse, I trust you." Percy stood up, "I guess that means the group has been picked. We'll leave in the morning." Percy walked outside the house.

Landon came over to me with tears in his eyes, "Why did this have to happen? Our life was just starting to get normal."

I hugged him tightly, "It's ok, we'll be alright. The only person I'm worried about is that Brent guy. Nobody knows anything about him other than Clarisse trusts him."

Landon calmed down a little bit, "Alright, as long as we keep an eye on him, this mission should go smoothly."

"Yeah, but I wonder what it meant about the two friends being the prize?"

Annabeth came up to us, "I know what it means." She took a pause, "It means that when we go to the underworld; we're going to get Luke back, I just know he's one of the friends we're going to get back. Luke was the hero who saved the world from Kronus the first time and he'll be needed to help us stop him again."

I looked at her, "Is that even possible?"

"If Luke was already promised to be reborn, then Hades can revive him to his previous body, but that will not count as one of his revivals."

"Then I guess we're going to get Luke back."

Annabeth smiled, "I guess we are." She walked outside to catch up with Percy, who had obviously forgotten that part of the prophecy.

Landon smiled and whispered into my ear. "You owe me, remember." I could tell he was trying to lighten the mood, and to be honest, it was working.

"Ok then, give me one hour to get the things we'll need. Meet me at my cabin and be prepared for a very sweet surprise." I gave him a kiss on the lips and a quick rub of his abs.

"That sounds like a good idea. I guess I'll see you in an hour and don't worry, I'll take care of the protection and lubrication." And with that said, we went our separate ways in preparation for our later night activities.
