Thanks for all the reviews. From now on, it's gonna be from Nico and Autumns POV!
Nico's POV
I walked up to Rachel's cave, my mind racing. I had never been lead a quest or even been on an assigned one. Sure, I went on tons of adventures by myself and even went on the quest to Greece by accident, but I'd never been on one where I had to protect other people.
I entered Rachel's cave-o-doom and she smiled at me, "Hey, whats up Nico." "I need a prophecy." I sighed. "Whatever for?" she asked. "I'm going on a quest to stop chaos." Rachel closed her eyes and her expression turned intense. Her eyes snapped open and green mist flowed around her.
Entombed in a prison of stone and death
A sacrifice to rase the dark one
The gem shall fall at lightnings hand
To start the begging of the end
The mist faded and her eyes snapped open. "Umm, thanks Rachel." I muttered. "Was it a good one?" She said smiling. "Lots of death and bad stuff?" I laughed. "Yah, you could say that."
When I walked out of the cave, Jason ran up next to me, "So what's the prophecy?" he asked. I recited it to him and his expression turned dark, "The gem shall fall by lightning's hand… does that mean I kill Hazel?" he said. "I don't know," I responded, "Prophecies can have weird meanings." We walked in silence until we reached my cabin, "Well, see you tomorrow, Nico." Jason waved as he walked off.
I walked into my cabin and let the full meaning of the prophecy wash over me. Entombed in a prison of stone and death. My chest tightened in fear. Ever since my accidental trip to Tarturus, I had become extremely claustrophobic. Ironic, me being a child of the underworld. And sacrifices were generally bad when it was used to rase anyone dark or evil. I went to sleep uneasily and dreamed that I was stuck in a stone room with no light and no air.
The next morning, I woke early and packed a few essentials in a small backpack: clothes, ambrosia, nectar, water, money, and drachmas. I grabbed my sword and checked that I had my ring before I walked out. I jogged towards Jason who was talking to Annabeth. She walked away from him just when I reached them. "What was that about?" I asked. "Just checking in with me about Camp Jupiter." He said, "Anyway, I iris messaged Hazel yesterday and she'll be ready to go at 11." "Better eat some breakfast before we leave." I sighed.
I sat alone at my table and ate my eggs and toast before meeting Jason by the sword arena. To my surprise, Chiron waited for us there. "The prophecy hints that Autumn may be hidden somewhere in the underworld." He said as I walked up. "We should go." I said. Jason nodded and we walked towards a tree shrowded in shadows. I concentrated and felt the familiar cold creeping down my spine before we arrived at Camp Jupiter. "Gods I hate shadow traveling." Jason muttered as I pulled him out of the way of a spear.
Camp Jupiter was at war. Reyna yelled out orders, a dragon that could only be Frank swooped above the feild, and Hazel rode Arion through the crowds. "Hazel!" I yelled. She turned towards us and steered her horse towards us. "Hi." She said. "Ready to go?" I yelled over the fight. She nodded and looked towards Frank in the sky, and then back at us. "Lets go save some random girl and destroy Chaos!" She yelled. Oh how I have missed her. She hopped of her horse and I grabbed her and Jason before melting into the shadows on the wall. Time to go to the underworld.
