Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,

To storm or fire, the world must fall,

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death

Sorry I haven't been posting as much recently. I lost my electronics for a while so I couldn't really post. But, I'm writing now so I hope this works out. I have it almost completely planned out.

In the end, they decided it was the Python that had probably done something. It was their best bet as he had once kept the Oracle captive. They decided a good place to look would be the cave where this had happened.

Percy -being the one who had received the message from Rachel- was the quest leader. Obviously, he chose Annabeth and Grover to come with him. The second they left camp half-blood, he found Appolo waiting for him on the hill.

Percy noticed he was not his usual self. He was just more serious, warlike even. Percy had had good experiences with this god, so he expected help for once. However, with his luck, it might turn out to be not quite so good for him.

"This is not friendly, this is not a helping hand. This is serious." Appolo told Percy in a grim voice. "The message has already been delivered to all Olympians, but I need you to inform Camp Half-Blood."

"Where is Hermes?" Percy asked. "Wouldn't he normally be the one delivering messages?"

"He is informing Hades at the moment," Appolo said. "Now, tell all the campers and Dyonysis -what's so what's not- that I have been doing a bit of a performance. Holding back my thoughts, a bit of my personality. For example, I am naturally a little more war-like and I AM TIRED OF LIVING IN ZEUS' STUPID SHADOW!"

The words felt like the rattle of the sky and ground together. And from his experiences, Percy knew it was slightly possible that the world was literally shaking.

"Report that it is time to take sides! You are either with me or against me and with Zeus!" He spits out the name like it is the worse insult he could think of. "I swear by the River Stix that I will rule over Zeus one day very, very soon! This is all!"
Then Appolo's tone grew quieter.

"I like you, Percy, you should probably side with me." He said. "Also, you might want to avert your eyes."

With just that, Percy said with a slightly louder voice than normal to Annabeth and Grover who were standing beside him staring at the god in shock. "Look away!'

They realized what was happening and immediately covered their eyes with their arms. They could see a bright flash of light through their arms and then Apollo was gone.

Percy gave the brief version of everything that had just happened to the council. Annabeth and Grover occasionally added in details. In the end, it was all reported to Dionysus and he looked absolutely overjoyed.

"This means I get to leave you miserable brats!" He exclaimed. "Maybe even forever! I am siding with Appolo if he promises my freedom of course. Goodbye, and good riddance!"|

And just like that, he was gone!

"The great prophecy has begun," Annabeth said solemnly.
