Percy POV

I looked up, it was getting late. I should probably get back to my cabin. I ran as fast as I could back to the wooden jetty. I couldn't risk jumping in the water again, since it was deathly quiet. A loud buzzing noise resonated in my ears. I squeezed my hands on my ears so hard, I was afraid I might make them bleed, if they weren't already. My head was pounding, and I managed to pull out a drachma. I was about to Iris message Annabeth, when everything went dark.

Annabeth POV

I walked back to my cabin, wondering what Percy meant. He couldn't tell me? I told him about Nico. No, if Percy was keeping something from me, it's probably something dangerous. I sighed and pulled my shawl over my body. I knocked on the door and my second-in-command opened it. "Annabeth? Come in." said Malcolm. I walked straight to my bunk and sat down on it. "Long day?" he asked.

"You could say that. Are the campers from Camp Jupiter okay?" I asked. He nodded, and I rested my hand on his shoulder. "Thanks. I should probably Iris message Percy and try and get him to decode our last conversation."

"Sure, I'll tell the others to give you as much privacy as they can." said Malcolm.

"Thanks Malcolm." I said. I fished around in my bed sheets for a drachma, I learned from Percy that they can pop up anywhere. I found one and walked up to the pedestal in front of my bunk. I threw the drachma in the water. "O Iris, Goddess of Rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Percy." The water shimmered and I saw him. He was lying with one hand to his ear and the other outstretched in front of him. "Oh gods Percy, what happened? I ran out the door to the Apollo cabin. I pounded my hand on the door. It was about nine or ten pm at that time, I think. The door creaked open and Will Solace stepped out, rubbing his eyes.

"What is it Annabeth?" he asked rather groggily. I very quickly told him about Percy. Suddenly, his face went into healer mode. "Where is he?" I remembered out of the corner of his eye, the jetty behind his cabin.

"He should be close to the jetty." I replied. Will ducked back inside and came out with the first aid box. We ran to Percy's cabin and then turned left. Percy's cabin was nestled in a pocket of water that linked up to the main lake. There was a strip of land just left of his cabin heading out to sea. Then Will pulled me down and gestured for me to be quiet. Will looked over the bushes and got up. Harpies were gone. We got on the strip of land and I realised that I was running faster.

"Slow down, we don't want to run past him… or on him." muttered Will. I slowed down and looked ahead. There was a dark figure on the ground.

"Will! Over there!" I shouted.

"Shhh! Don't wake everyone else up." he said. I ran over to Percy and saw him on his side. I rolled him on his back and held his head in my hands. Will came over and checked his pulse. He sighed contentedly. "The good news is that he just passed out. From what, I'm not sure. What was he doing out here at this time of night?" I saw something in his hand and I picked it up. I rummaged in the first aid kit for a small flashlight. I found one, pushed the button, and read the piece of paper.

Auntie Em's Garden Emporium. Dark purple flower with faded purple tips. Should wrap around the statues. DO NOT LET THE FLOWER TOUCH YOU, otherwise the effects will take place. I strongly suggest that you let someone else in on the plan.

Thalia.

I showed Will the piece of paper. He looked at it curiously. "Why would he want Myrtweed?"

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's a poison." replied Will. "Whatever the case, we need to get him back to the infirmary." While Will began muttering to himself about how shadowtravel would be useful, I noticed screeching noises coming our way. Harpies. "Aw, come on. Annabeth, see if you can Iris message Chiron."

"But…"

"No 'buts', unless you want to get eaten." he said calmly. I sighed and spied a drachma not far from Percy's hand. I picked it up and walked down to the water. I placed the drachma in the water, not wanting to attract the harpies and asked for Chiron. The water rippled to show him sleeping.

"Chiron." I whispered. "Wake up." The centaur shifted a bit but didn't wake up. "Chiron, Percy is in trouble." That got his attention. He sprung up and faced me.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"On the left patch of land that leads out to the ocean, you should see a light if you stand at Percy's cabin." I replied. Chiron nodded and dismissed the message. I ran back up to Will and found him trying to resuscitate Percy. "What happened?" I shouted. I looked around for harpies but none came. Will didn't seem to care either. He was in the type of mindset that only involved him and Percy.

"He was fine a couple of minutes ago." said Will. Then Percy exhaled and Will stopped. Will sighed. "That was way too close." I heard the familiar sound of Chiron's galloping and stood up.

"Annabeth…" whispered Percy. "What happened?" I bent down and held his hand.

"You're fine, I think. Chiron's going to take you to the infirmary." I replied, looking at Chiron. He nodded and picked Percy up.

"Annabeth go to the Big House. And Will, back to your cabin." said Chiron. "I will meet you there." I nodded and Chiron trotted away. I looked at Will.

"I don't know much about the situation going on with Lord Hades, Nico and Percy." said Will.

"A month ago, when Aphrodite and Ares poisoned Percy, Nico bargained with his father for him to make a cure since there wasn't any known cure. In return, Nico swore on the Styx that he would work for ten years for Hades. But apparently, there's a loophole. An oath on the Styx can be cancelled out with another oath on the Styx. Percy hasn't told me about his plan but I'm betting that Jason knows."

"You mean Jason Grace?" asked Will. I nodded. He stood up.

"I should get to the Big House. Chiron will be waiting." He agreed and he ran back to his cabin. I started running to the Big House. For the entire time, the same question kept repeating itself in my head. Why would Percy want Myrtweed? Soon as I was close to the Big House, I ran into the roman demigods, who appeared to be going in the same direction.

"Big House?" Leo asked. I nodded. Why would Chiron want us? All of us?

"Why am I getting a weird feeling that we're going to hear a prophecy?" asked Jason. I shuddered. I did not want to hear another Great Prophecy. I opened the door and saw Chiron and Mr. D, oh and Rachel was there as well. I sighed. There were seats laid out for us so I took a seat. The others did as well. Chiron cleared his throat.

"Miss Dare, we need a prophecy." he said gravely. I covered my face with my hands and I felt someone's hand on my back. I looked up and saw the smiling eyes of Piper McLean. Rachel stood up and green mist poured out of her nose, mouth and eyes. I cringed, but I listened.

Six will go

To the River of Woe

One will lie

One will die

The quest will succeed

Only if he is allowed to lead
