II

Percy

I took Annabeth to her cabin after she calmed down a bit. She was still crying when I left. I saw Grover running up to me with a panicked look on his face. "What is it?" I asked him. As soon as Grover caught his breath he told me. "Meeting at the Big House." He finally said. "You should probably grab Annabeth." "No, she's in too much of a shock. I'm not bringing her into this right now." I replied. "Ok, come on" Grover said as he sprinted to the Big House. I followed him, and we made it to the Big House in 3 seconds flat. Everyone was gathered in an intense conversation. "I'm here guys" I said. "Where's Annabeth?" Connor Stoll asked me. "She…I left her at her cabin. She needs time." I answered. Everyone looked at me worriedly. "So, the prophecy." I said. "I think it's about me, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, and Leo." "I agree Jackson" Jason said. Piper was standing next to him. "Do, you guys know when Hazel and Frank are coming to visit?" Leo asked. "Turns out, they are coming today, ironically." Chiron spoke up. "Great" I said. "Now about…" Before I could finish Hazel and Frank burst into the room. "Hey everyone!" Hazel said. Hazel dropped her smile when she realized the grimaces on our faces. "What happened?" Frank spoke up. "Rachel just spoke a prophecy." said Will Solace, from the Apollo cabin. Frank and Hazel went pale. "Who's it about?" Hazel asked weakly. "The seven." I answered. Frank looked like he was about to be sick. "What is the prophecy?" he asked. I answered before anyone else did.

You shall go to Greece to release the camp,

The Golden Fleece will point the trail,

The seven combined will prevail,

The son of Poseidon's final stand,

One shall perish by a Goddess's hand.

"Oh, Percy…It isn't you in the prophecy! I can't be!" Hazel burst out when I was finished. "Who else is part of the seven who's a son of Poseidon huh?" I exploded. Hazel looked hurt. "I didn't mean…" I began but I stomped out of the room before I finished. I had to go see Annabeth. She was the only one who could lift my spirits right now.

When I got to the door of the Athena cabin, I heard someone sobbing inside. Instead of knocking I went right inside because I knew I would find Annabeth by herself, because everyone else was still in the Big House. I sat down next to her and hugged her. "Hey, it's going to be okay. I don't think that I'll be dying. It might be just a test of some sort." "The son of Poseidon's FINAL stand. Percy that can't have any other meaning!" Annabeth managed to get out. "Everything will be okay. We have faced death many times before right?" I reassured her. "I-I guess." She said. She got up and went to her desk. It was full of scrolls, and books. She grabbed Daedalus's Laptop from the drawer. Let me explain how she got it back. We found it when we were coming back from Tartarus when she got kidnapped by Kelli. She opened it up and searched about the Golden Fleece. "I don't get how it's supposed to guide us." Annabeth said. "All it says is it heals everything around it!" "Wait." I said. "Scroll down." She scrolled down and gasped. Turns out it guided Hercules to the Labyrinth one time. "That guy has been everywhere!" I said to her. She smiled. "This is huge! But the question is, why would we need to get to the labyrinth? Why did the prophecy say we had to save the camp?" "That's what troubles me." I said. "I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen to the camp soon." Annabeth looked at me with a troubled look on her face. She looked back at her laptop. "It says that the Fleece has a magical tie to the Labyrinth somehow. That's how it can guide you. The question is…how?" she asked me. "I don't know. It doesn't say does it?" I asked her. "No, but I think we should go tell the camp…" Before she could finish her sentence, we heard a big crash outside. We looked at each other. I uncapped Riptide, and she unsheathed her knife. Together we ran outside.

"No!" I said. Gaea's earthborn giants were attacking the camp. They threw benches, trees, whatever they could get their hands on. I just about collapsed when I saw the anti-Poseidon, Polybotes. He wielded his trident and net. When he saw me he roared with laughter. "Percy Jackson" he said. "Do you know how much pain I went through reforming because of you?" "I hope it hurt" I told him, trying to sound brave, but the truth was I was terrified. Annabeth whimpered beside me. I had to stay strong for her. "Why don't we settle this like in New Rome?" I told him. "One on one" "Percy!" Annabeth whispered to me. "You have to have a god's help! You'll never beat him!" "I have to try." I told her. Before I went to face him she hugged me. "Good luck, seaweed brain." She whispered in my ear. "You too, wise girl." I replied. She broke away from me, smiled, and went to go help the others face the giants. "Let's get this done." I told him. I looked back at Annabeth, who was fiercely slashing at the anti-Zeus Porphyrion. I prayed to the gods to keep her alive if I died. Then I looked at Polybotes again, and advanced.
