Chapter 7- The Quest
So Percy Jackson was the son of Poseidon. Everybody was so chocked. I didn't really know why. I mean he's just like us, a demigod. Yes his dad is one of the big three but I didn't see why that was so chocking. It was really bothering me so I asked Beckendorf.
"Why is everyone so chocked about Percy?" I asked. He looked at me like I was crazy.
"You don't know?" He asked. He was in the middle of forging something. It looked like a shield but it was only half finished. "I'm kind of busy now." He said.
"Okay, I'll go ask someone else." I said, sort of disappointed. I walked out of the Hephaestus cabin and towards the strawberry fields, I was looking for Simon. I couldn't find him anywhere.
"Do you know where Simon is?" I asked.
"I'm not sure." A Satyr said. I was about to walk away but before I could.
"My name's Grover." The Satyr said. "I heard that Simon brought you over here a few months ago."
"Yep." I said. "I'm Alex."
"I'll see you around." He said. I walked away. Maybe I could find Nicole. She would know what's going on. I walked over to the Athena cabin. Annabeth was sitting outside reading a book.
"Have you seen Nicole?" I asked her. She looked up surprised.
"Oh, hey Alex." She said. "I think she's at the archery range."
"Okay, thanks." I said.
"Oh, and Percy." She said. "Nice job in capture the flag." I smiled and walked away towards the archery range. When I got there I saw Nicole firing arrows into training dummies.
"Hello." I shouted out to her from a distance. I didn't want to get hit by an arrow like one of those dummies. Nicole stopped firing arrows and looked over at me.
"Hi Alex." She said. I walked over to her.
"I've got a question." I said. "Why is being a child of the big three so bad?"
"The kids of the big three are very dangerous." Nicole said. "The last child of the big three was a girl named Thalia."
"Where is she?" I asked
"See that tree over there?" She said. She pointed to the pine tree on top of the hill that I had entered the camp through.
"Yep." I said not really seeing how it relates.
"That's her." She said. She looked at me and I guess she could tell that I was confused because she continued explaining. "She died on top of that hill but her father, Zeus, turned her into a pine tree. That pine tree protects the camp."
"That makes sense." I said. Nicole went back to shooting arrows into the heads of dummies. I started walking back to the Hephaestus cabin. I was about halfway there before Chiron intercepted me.
"Hi Chiron." I said.
"Percy we need to have a talk about the prophecy." He said.
"Sure." I said.
"Let's go to the big house." He said. He started walking towards the big house and I followed. We walked inside.
"Alex you need to go on a quest." He said.
"Okay.." I said. "What do you want me to do?"
"A monster has been attacking demi-gods outside of the camp." He said. "I want you to pick two people to go with you and kill this monster."
"Anybody?" I asked.
"Anybody." He answered.
"And when do I have to leave?" I asked.
"As soon as possible." He said.
"Is tomorrow okay?" I asked.
"Sure."
"I want Nicole and Beckendorf to go with me." I said.
"Alright, go get them and I'll tell you some more details about the quest."
I walked out of the big house and back to the archery range. Nicole was still there killing dummies.
"Hey Nicole!" I shouted. She turned around surprised.
"What?" She said.
"Do you want to go on a quest with me?" I asked.
"Are you serious?" She asked. I nodded my head.
"YES!" She shouted. "I've been waiting for ever to go on a quest."
"Come with me and we'll get Beckendorf." I said. We walked over to the Hephaestus cabin. I walked in and found Beckendorf forging something.
"Hey Beckendorf." I said. He turned around.
"Can you come with me on my quest?" I asked.
"Let's do it." He said. He got up and we walked back to the big house. Chiron was waiting inside for us.
"There you are." He said. "Please, take a seat." We all sat down and Chiron started explaining what we had to do for the quest. "A monster has been attacking half-bloods in their schools."
"What monster?" Nicole asked.
"We don't know." Chiron said. "We need you to find and kill it. You leave tomorrow. Argus will drive you to the school."
"What's the school called?" I asked.
"Kando Prep." Chiron said. I looked surprised, I looked around and Beckendorf's eyes met mine. He knew what was going on.
"That's my old school." I said. Chiron looked at me almost as surprised as me.
"Well then you'll know all about it." Chiron said. Simon walked into the room.
"It's dinner time." He said. He was about to walk back out but then he looked up and realized what was going on. "You going on a quest?" He asked.
"Yep." I answered.
"Can I join?" He asked.
"Sorry, but the prophecy said only three people." I said.
"Well I'm not technically a person." He said. I looked ate Chiron and he nodded his head.
"Alright you can come." I said.
"Alright everybody, time for dinner." Chiron said. Everyone walked out and I tried to follow but I was yanked back by Chiron.
"Be careful, Alex." He said. "Bad things can happen if you defy the prophecy." I nodded my head.
"I'll be careful." I said.
He nodded his head, "Alright, go on to dinner now." He said. I walked over to the tables. Tomorrow I was going on my first quest. I won't let Chiron down. At the tables I filled in Simon on the details. When dinner was over I went to bed and got a good night sleep. After all I'm going on a quest.
