Chapter 5: The Prophecy
Disclaimer on first chapter
Athena's POV
"Chiron," Percy said," Kronos is back, and you should put the camp in high alert!"
"But Percy, I have not that power in my position to do that, only Mr. D can," Chiron said.
"So where is he?" I asked.
"He is up on Olympus talking about your disappearances from the Council."
"Well then," I said "Just keep your guard up ok? Kronos might attack the camp, but we are not exactly sure that he will."
"Yes, Lady Athena."
"Oh and may I borrow some weapons? I didn't bring any with me."
"Yes you may, my Lady"
"Ok then, I will go by the armory, if I can't find any I will go to the forges."
"Ok Athena," Percy said.
I left and chuckled to myself, Hmm I like the way he said that...
Percy's POV
Athena lef to find a weapon for herself and I was left with Chiron.
"So, since when did you two stop being a god?" he asked.
I was shocked!
"How did you know?"
"If Lady Athena was still a god she would have just made a weapon magicallyappear," he answered," better yet she would have just teleported here, and not have come by taxi".
"Oh..."
"Percy, because I am helping you and Lady Athena, I am committing treason in the eyes of the gods. Zeus has forbidden you to go on a quest didn't he? And yet you and Lady Athena disobeyed him. I'm sorry to say but you wont be able to stay here long."
"It's alright Chiron, thanks for the help, we'll leave for San Francisco soon anyway."
"Ok Percy, you also might want to talk to the Oracle."
"Ok"
I walked to the big house, since Rachel is the Oracle she has been staying in one of the guest bedrooms until a proper place for her has been set up.
"Hi Percy!"she said joyfully and gave me a quick hug.
"Hi RED!" I snickered.
"Very funny, Percy so hows it like being a god?"
"It's ok...I guess"
"...You're not a god anymore are you?"
"...Is it really that obvious?"
"Well ya, you come here with Athena, in a mortal taxicab...how more obvious can you be?"
"Um ok, well Chiron said I should ask you for a prophecy."
The instance I said that her eyes had a faraway look and green smoke flew out of her mouth.
An image of the Olympian Council appeared within the green mist.
"Two shall go to the bridge painted red" said Hermes
"And they will find a man full of dread" said Hades
"Stuck in a desert they will ask for help" said Hera
"And stop in a place full of kelp" said Apollo
"To save his friends and father, he will start" said Zeus
"A journey that ends in a choice, that will make or break someone's heart" said Aphrodite
(A/N: Ok not a very nice prophecy/poem thing...I'm not good at those...and there is something wrong with the first line it should have said "Two shall go to the bridge painted orange" but what rhymes with orange? Nothing! Well almost nothing...)
At the end Rachel's eyes began to focus and almost collapsed and I caught her.
"Ugh...what happened?" she asked dazed.
"You gave me a prophecy."
"Oh, did you understand it?"
"No"
"Oh"
I left the big house and went into the Poseidon cabin, it was the same as when I left it. Hmm "Two shall go to the bridge painted red" That could mean the Golden Gate Bridge! It is 1.7 miles long and...I guess Annabeth really rubbed off on me... Hmm...I don't like the last line it's weird whose heart will break or make? I hate prophecies! Then a knock came at the door.
"Um Percy, may I come in?" Athena's voice asked.
"Ya, I just wanted to get something," I said as I picked up the Lotus Casino credit card from my souvenir desk and stuffed it in my pocket. I don't know why, but I just did.
"Percy, so how are we going to San Francisco?"
I looked out my window and said, "By Pegasus"
Me: Ok not that long, like 800 words, and I kinda have writer's block, really hate it! I promise it will get better towards the end. And Alslo I will promise some action scenes towards the end.
Percy: I hope it does it's getting boring...
Me: Percy, if you keep talking I'm going to strangle you.
Percy: ...
Me: Anyway, If you like this part, add this story to your favorites or something by reading and reviewing, have a nice day!
