Disclaimer: Percy shall one day be MIIIIIINE! Except for now, he belongs to Riordan, Sally and Annabeth... BUT MARK MY WORDS, PERCY SHALL BE MIIIIIINE!
"Come on!" Clarisse shouts impatiently, throwing a dagger across the room, hard, and watching as it lodges itself into the wall right above Percy's head. "It can't be that bad, Chiron. Just spill and get it over with."
Shaking his head sadly, the old centaur passes the parchment to her. "Read it aloud."
She clears her throat and begins to read.
"A great dragon will gamble with the land.
A victory finally to occur,
Handed to a child of the serpent.
The one who can heal the world,
Will shake at the sight of the dark horses,
And she will swear to the sky never again to encounter,
Him who rides upon them.
The dragon must not hurdle with the child of Doves,
Nor will they give belief to their words.
The wounded mouse,
Shall escape at the coming of death,
Yet cause that of another,
Through his own hands.
Only a soldier's deception,
Will save the dragon that struggles.
A disguised warrior will be lead by the brave death,
Rising with her brethren to save them who matter most.
And a possibility shall arise through him who is of the sea,
To keep the great monster at bay."
Clarisse lets out a low whistle, breaking the difficult silence. "That's a hell of a prophecy. Isn't it a bit long?"
"The length of the poetics is hardly the issue, Clarisse," Malcolm says, rolling his eyes. "I'm guessing this is for a quest?"
"Probably," Percy adds. "But why is it written down? Why didn't Rachel tell us herself?"
"I'm afraid the answer was burned down, destroyed by Stilicho 405 A.D.," Chiron sighs, taking the parchment back.
"The Sibylline Books?" Malcolm gasps, eyes widening to the size of dinner plates. "But then... How?"
"I'm afraid I don't know. Nor do I know why Greek demigods would be found in a Latin prophecy. However, Rachel foresaw it and tried to inform us of it."
"So, if this is a quest, then shouldn't we choose who should go?" Conner suggests, a mischievous look forming on his face.
"Since this is an ancient prophecy, there are important... facts to sort through."
"But who's going? I mean, we can't all go, but it sounds like a lot of people." Katie Gardner asks, swatting away Travis' hands away angrily as he attempts to play with her hair. "Jeez, Travis! Will you just quit with it?"
I hear Conner snicker, earning him a warning glare from his twin, which forces devious smiles to form on their faces. I really don't want to have to hear about this later.
"To answer your question, Katie," Chiron says, ignoring the face-making contest the twins are having. "The prophecy seems to include quite a few different people. I'm thinking there's a child of Hades destined to be in this, which would explain the dragon. Athena is the goddess of serpents so 'a child of the serpent' is obviously a child of Athena."
"But it could also be a child of Hermes," Alisa points out. "Hermes has some domain over snakes too, right?"
"Yes," Chiron nods. "But Athena is known for being the goddess of snakes. Her domain over them is larger."
"Who's this 'rider of the dark horses'?" Chris asks.
"I'm not entirely certain," Chiron admits.
"And 'the one who can heal the world'?"
"Obviously an Apollo kid," Malcolm points out. "Also the 'mouse' is an Apollo kid too."
"The rest is only our best guess," Chiron sighs. "Now let's head off to bed. Remember, we don't want to scare the camp. Stay quiet about this."
Remember to REVIEW! I promise to ALWAYS answer reviews! :D
