Cleo Honeyman

Cleo opened her eyes groggily and looked around the infirmary. The drakon earlier had hit her pretty hard; knocking her unconscious and it felt like she broke some ribs. Thankfully, with the medical expertise of Apollo kids, whatever happened to her was mostly healed. William was sitting in a chair next to her.

"Feeling better? You had broken three ribs," he explained, as if reading her mind. Although to others William may seem too serious, him and Cleo had been friends with him for the longest time, so she knew him differently.

"Much," Cleo said sitting up slowly, holding her ribs. Although it still hurt, it was nothing compared to the pain she felt right after the fight.

"Here's some nectar," Will said holding out a glass cup full of the drink of the Gods.

Cleo smiled and took the glass, "thanks." To her nectar tasted like the chocolate dream cake her dad would make for her all of her birthdays. Instantly the dull pain went away completely.

"Look what the drakon left behind," William said, holding out a celestial bronze shield with an emblem of a drakon on the front, with a smile like a little kid opening presents on Christmas day. "This isn't even the coolest part, watch this," he continued, putting the shield down. As soon as his fingers left the celestial bronze it changed into a green drakon scale, the size of a small dog.

"Here yo-" Will was cut off by the infirmary doors opening, and Chiron trotting in with the girl Cleo had saved earlier, on his back.

"What happened," Will said returning to his serious self and walking over.

"She said a prophecy," Tara replied walking in. She quickly glanced in Cleo's direction with an emotionless glance. They have had a... bumpy history and Cleo never liked Tara.

"What was it?" Will asked hiding his enthusiasm.

"We are going to call a meeting, and announce it to everyone there," Chiron interjected before Tara could say anything.

"I'll get on it Chiron," Will said quickly walking out of the door to tell the leaders of the other cabins about the meeting. Chiron followed after him, probably to help spread the word.

Tara called over Michael, an Apollo kid to tend on Riley before she walked out the door. Mumbling about Tara, Cleo got out of the bed, and waited a little while so she wouldn't have to face an awkward encounter with Tara. Than without feeling even a wisp of the pain anymore she headed out.

"Thanks Michael," Cleo said with a smile before walking to the Big House to the meeting.

People slowly started to trickle in, thankfully breaking the silence of just her and Tara being in the room. First was Alec, head counselor of the Athena cabin, and you could tell. He had short dirty blonde hair and sharp calculating stormy grey eyes, which would have been his most prominent feature if he didn't have a scar going through his right eyebrow and ending just above his eye that he got from a quest. Alec followed perfectly after the war aspect of his mom, a master of strategies and fighting techniques. He nodded hello before sitting down.

After him, Leonata and Zia came in together. Nata has long, black, frizzy hair with freckles dotting her cheeks below her wide, blue green eyes, whilst Zia had short brown, curly hair with purple streaks and swirling brown and green eyes. She had a darker tan and a pointed nose. Nata was supposed to be the leader of the Aphrodite cabin and Zia of the Nike cabin, but Cleo and only a few other people at camp knew better.

Like them Cleo had a Titan for a parent, but only those with the same problem as her knew about it. Her mom was really Tethys, but everyone thought she was a daughter of Poseidon; and Nata was actually a daughter of Selene, and Zia's mother is Mnemosyne.

Tethys was the leader of the Titans and had snuck demi-titans into Camp Half-Blood to help infiltrate and spy on the camp. The only reason they were able to be here undetected was because Mnemosyne, Titaness of memory, had used their rise to her advantage. Since the Gods were busy worrying about the Titans they didn't notice Mnemosyne slowly altering their memories into thinking that the few spies in camp were their children.

Cleo was unsure what to do though. For her first three years in camp she went unclaimed and grew bonds with people there before knowing what her mom was planning, so she doesn't want to betray the camp, unlike Leonata and Zia. But, her mom has been there for her, watching over her and it's hard to betray your own mom.

Pushing that thought aside Cleo watched the rest of the people file in.

Charlotte Lace came in next. She is the daughter of Khione with a surprising slight tan. Her eyes are almond shaped and light blue, and her chocolate brown hair was tied into a ponytail. Charlotte is a pretty closed off person, and Cleo was one of her few friends because of that.

Drey came in right after her. He has a similar appearance from his siblings in the Ares cabin, with a muscular build and an intimidating stature. His hair is a dark brown and his eyes are hazel. Drey is great at fighting, but that is a given due to his parentage. He used a unique weapon as well. His hand morphs into a killer claw that was as deadly as celestial bronze or imperial gold.

William came in with Chiron, and the rest of the cabin leaders. Like Anissa from Demeter, Chase Keldheart from Hermes, and Graham Baffour from Hephaestus cabin.

Finally the last person walked into the meeting room, Ace Fitzgerald. He had the same brooding look that most children of Hades have. His hair is black, and streaked with red, and his eyes are an icy blue. Surprisingly though, he had adorably deep dimples.

William watched him walk in with a look of distaste. It was no secret that the two hated each other. It went back to her first quest, which she went on with the two.

"Now that we are all here we can finally start. As a few of you know, the oracle come here two weeks ago, and had to leave. But, now she is back, and she announced a new prophecy. I would normally have her recite it for all of you to hear, but she is still unconscious from delivering it, so Tara, would you mind repeating it?" Chiron explained, turning the attention over to the daughter of Apollo.

Tara cleared her throat before reciting the prophecy. "The Gods oldest enemy has become extricated/ whilst the half-bloods safe haven shall be devastated./ Ten heroes must rise and find what was lost/ hidden in the land full of frost./ The weapon shall be used for kin to fight kin/ their fate will decide who is to lose and who is to win."

Around the table people either shivered or looked in contemplation as of to try and figure out what it all means.

"I have a feeling that this is the new great prophecy," Chiron said with an ominous hint. "And, because of this, I am assigning William to be in charge of this quest, I hope you choose your comrades decisively."

Everyone turned to look at the new quest leader; and only those who are close to him, like Cleo could see the fear of this new weight in his eyes.

William Harrison

Will nodded in acceptance to Chiron's words. Despite his confident outward appearance, on the inside he wanted to shrivel up and pass this duty to another unlucky camper.

Of course, the first thing he started to think of was who he would choose.

Definitely Cleo, there wasn't anyone else he trusted more. Tara would be a good asset with her Photokenisis and healing skills, and Alec would bring strategic reasoning to the team. Three down, six to go; ten was a lot of people to go on a quest.

He looked around the table, there were some people who looked at him hopefully, while others turned away to try not and get his attention. Cleo gave him a small smile of encouragement.

Chase's cheery attitude could help be like a buffer in the group, since it was most likely that a group of ten people would argue. Charlotte would be a definite help, with her mom being the goddess of snow, and the prophecy foreboding of a land of frost.

Drey was an exempt fighter, and that is always a good asset. William started to think of campers that weren't here at this meeting and would help. Quinn Peterson was a child of Athena, and even though Will had already thought of bringing Alec, he fell more after the knowledge side of Athena which would definitely help.

Lastly Will's eyes fell on Ace. They had gone on a quest before together and that had ended badly. But, Ace was a great swordsman, and his powers over the underworld would be extremely helpful.

"I'm going to need to think about all of this more," William said finally.

Chiron nodded knowingly, "of course, you can leave for the quest in two days, giving you plenty enough time to prepare, meeting dismissed." Will was the first out of the door, leaving Cleo to have to run up to catch up to him.

"Any ideas on who you are choosing?" she asked a curious gleam in her deep turquoise eyes.

"Well, of course you, than I was thinking Charlotte, Alec, Drey, Chase, Quinn, and Tara." Cleo scrunched up her nose at the last name.

"I was also thinking of maybe choosing Ace too..." he added hesitantly.

Surprisingly, Cleo remained neutral. "He would be a great help, but it's all up to you," she said with a smile. "I gotta go pack, I'll see ya later," she added cheerfully walking towards the Poseidon cabin.

William sighed and his ring on his finger. It was a typical graduation ring you would get from graduating high school, with a topaz on it. Needing to go somewhere to think, he headed towards the forest, pushing the small gem and changing it into a celestial bronze sword.

Once he was pretty deep in the forest he found a random tree and started to hack at it with his sword. It was how he relieved stress. As a child of Zeus he was expected to be a natural born leader, and was automatically chosen to lead the camp in the Titan War. He had to come out here more and more often as the duties of leadership got harder.

After a couple of minutes he stopped, finally deciding that in order to give this quest its best chance at succeeding he would need to take Ace with them, as much as he didn't like it.

With a sigh, Will started to go back to camp but stopped when he heard the noise of a twig breaking. Walking towards the noise cautiously, with his sword drawn he was relieved to see it was just a camper. Out in the woods who knows what monsters are creeping about, especially with the recent influx of bigger scale monsters being invited in.

The guy looked around 15 years-old with black messy hair and brown eyes. He had a Hispanic look to him with a dark tan.

Will was shocked when he saw the kid produce a flame from his hands. He didn't know that there were any kids at camp at the moment with control over fire. He was obviously a kid of Hephaestus.

Will cleared his throat and walked over to him. "What are you doing in the woods? There is a war going on right now, monsters are probably swarming the forest looking for a snack," he said with a stern voice.

"Well, uh this is where I come sometimes to think..." the kid said nervously.

Will tried to look less threatening when he noticed how tense the kid was, "I'm William; how long have you been at camp, I've never seen you around."

"I'm Jose Sanjas; two years, I tend to keep to myself," he replied.

Will nodded, although Jose seemed quiet and closed off, something was nagging Will that Jose was going to be a big help.

"Here, lets head back to camp, staying out here isn't gonna help, especially since it's gonna get dark really soon," Will said starting to turn back to the camp. Jose nodded silently and followed after him. Right then William made up his mind; Jose Sanjas was going to be the tenth member of the quest.
