There will be some repetition with the prophecies. You have been warned.

Hope that you are enjoying the story!

Percy POV

The Death Prophecy? That didn't sound good. Actually anything that had death in it wasn't good. I could see that everyone else wanted an explanation, so Chiron continued. "The same prophecy occurred when Hades' wife, Maria Di Angelo died. I do not know the exact prophecy, but every Death Prophecy has always ended up with someone dead."

"What if someone faked their death?" asked Jason. I looked at him. Through my eyes, I tried to tell him that Annabeth would also hear. He gulped and kept going. "Has anyone supposedly died and then come back?"

"Well no. Nothing like that has ever happened." replied Chiron. Great. That really got my hopes up. Chiron closed the book and gestured to me. "Please, Percy. Tell us your prophecy." I stood up and faced everyone.

You shall travel alone

To death's home

Bargain with the god

On his sod

Your friend, he will send

But you will pay the price in the end

Chiron motioned for me to sit down, and for once, I did what he said. "Now, the tricky thing is to figure out how the first prophecy interweaves with this one." He looked at Hazel. "My dear, I know that this is a lot to put on you. But being a daughter of Pluto, you may have instinctual knowledge about this." He finished writing down something, and he handed it to Hazel. I figured that it was the two prophecies. Besides, Hazel was sitting right next to me. Hazel got up with Piper and Frank and left.

"Well, that chat was nice and all. But Sir Leo McShizzle needs to take his girl out for a walk." And with that, Leo took Calypso's hand and led her out the door. The door slammed shut and everyone went silent.

"I'll leave you three to talk." said Chiron, before walking away. His hooves clip clopped away and we were alone again.

"I'm going back to my cabin." muttered Annabeth. I went to grab her hand but she opened the door and slammed it shut. I looked at Jason. There was no point in getting mad at him because if I did, there was a very good chance that half the camp would end up on fire and flooded.

"Look Percy. I know what you said about this whole thing being a secret but Annabeth is a daughter of Athena. She could help." said Jason, folding his arms. I frowned.

"But she could get seriously hurt." I countered. Jason sighed and leaned in close.

"Or you could screw you and actually get yourself killed. What would she think then?" He left me to think and then after about two awkward minutes of silence, left me. I sat back down in the chair and covered my face with my hands, which I've been doing a lot lately.

"Oh what is it now Peter Johnson?" asked Mr D. I fought back the urge to yell at him.

"Nothing Mr D." I said, before walking out. I put my hands in my pockets and made my way down to the Sound. The sound of water always seemed to calm me. Well I guess that's bias since my dad is the god of the sea. I wandered in the forest, keeping a close eye on the horizon. Then I stopped. This was where we found out that Nico Di Angelo was a son of Hades. I chuckled to myself. And that's where it all fell apart, I thought to myself. I just wish I could have been there for him, but he would have pushed me away. Will's the only person who can get anywhere near him. I can't imagine how he's holding up. I walk back to the beach and take my shoes off. I wade into the water and feel the water healing all my aches and pains, well most of them anyway.

"Hey Dad, if you can hear me, please try and reason with Hades. Nico doesn't deserve this. He deserves a life with Will." I said, reaching into the water, feeling its power. The water rippled back and I pulled my hand out of the water.

"Is it sunny?" asked a familiar voice. I turned around and saw Lord Hades on the beach, an aura of red energy around him. I took a deep breath and called upon my powers to get me on shore quickly. Of course, that went well and I ended up flat on my face. I got up and brushed the sand off my shirt. I bowed to him.

"Well, you wouldn't know what a sunny day is because you spend most of your time in the Underworld." I snapped back. I stood up to Hades but I was careful to not go too far, besides, they could vaporise you with a thought. I crossed my arms in front of me. "Why are you here Lord Hades?" I asked.

"With a message."

I scoffed. "I thought that with you being a god and all, you'd send one of your servants to deliver it?" Hades glared at me.

"My son, Nico has a message for you." he said, waving his hand. From the aura around him, an image of Nico appeared. Hades walked away, leaving me with Nico.

"Percy." said Nico. I nodded my head. "Getting my father to personally deliver this message to you has taken every ounce of my strength, but I'm not here to complain about that." Then his voice hushed, "Percy, I know what you're planning. The Myrtweed plant is dangerous. Yes, it is a coma inducing poison, but there are risks. Like if you accidentally crush a seed from the middle of the flower and it goes into the mixture, you die."

"I'm still going to do it." I replied.

"Percy, tell Will that I love him." said Nico, before disintegrating.
