I had never felt so relaxed, you know.
I was at the helm of the Going Merry as we sailed towards the Sea of Monsters.
She obeyed my every thought as we sailed.
"Hey Seaweed Brain, what did you have to speak with Chuiron for," Annabeth asked me as I stayed the course.
I said nothing for a while before I looked at her, "I was brought to the Fates," I told her as I heard a small gasp.
"What did they want?" Clarisse asked as she walked up to the helm.
"It was for something to do with Luke," I told them as they nodded. But they told me one thing that made me stop and think," I added as I saw Annabeth look at Bianca.
"And what was that?" She asked me.
"Grover told me that mine and Bianca's fathers, along with our uncle, made a vow, one that Zeus forced Hades in, but it ended up with Thalia and me being born years later," I told them as they nodded. I saw the look on Annabeth's face, "And by the look on your face it means that there is a prophecy revolving around the children of the Big Three is apart of this prophecy," I said as Annabeth nodded at me.
Before I could say anything more, a loud fog horn-like found filled the air, and we turned to see a cruise ship.
It was massive, with a golden figurehead of a woman in chains, a Greek on the side that read 'Princess Andromeda,' and a small yacht flowing beside it.
I narrowed my eyes to see who stood on the ship's bow. "Well, hello, Percy, Annabeth, and others," they called out with a voice most of us knew well.
"Luke," I said as the girls got to weapons on the ship. Clarisse was readying a cannon while Bianca was on a harpoon ballista.
Please don't ask me where it came from, as I do not know where it came from.
"What do you want, you traitor?!" Clarisse yelled over to him as Luke looked at her, but someone put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
It was a man with pale skin and long black hair dressed in Buddhist robes, "So you him?" The man said, and I knew his accent.
It was Japanese.
"And who are you?" Annabeth asked him as the man looked at her.
"I'm Getō Suguru, or as you Americans would call me, Suguru Geto, but listen, child of wisdom, I must speak with the son of the sea," Getō told her as he looked over to me as I glared at him.
"The Curse Murder," I said as the girls looked at me as I walked away from the helm and up to the rail of the Merry, "So what are you doing working for my grandfather?" I asked him.
Getō laughed at my question as he looked at me. "Oh, it's simple. I'm going to finish the work that Hao started and remove all the non-Shaman from the world, and when the monkeys are gone, the world will be a better place," he told me as I narrowed my eyes at him.
We both formed seals with our hands as we called on our spiritual energy.
Mine formed a circle with my thumbs and index fingers, with the other fingers pointed out while one hand was over the other.
Getō's hands were like they were in prayer.
"Sea Dragon's Rage," I called out as an eastern dragon formed out of the water and flew at the yacht.
"Sky Dragon's Rage," the other shaman called out as wind formed into another eastern dragon, and both elemental dragons attacked each other.
But I did not look away from each other as a smile formed on his face. "You have good control of your spiritual energy," he told me as the two dragons fought.
"And it seems that you will live for that prophecy to come to pass," Luke said as I looked at him. You still have a few years, or will it be the girl by your side? I mean, she is a daughter of Hades," he added as I narrowed my eyes at him and took hold of my transforming trident.
"And why is that important?" I asked as both dragons 'killed' each other, one becoming a breeze and the other becoming water droplets.
"You need to reach 16—Don't tell him," Luke said before Annabeth cut him off as he looked over to her. "Oh, and why not Beth? I mean, it's just his life," Luke told her as Annabeth scowled at him.
He then smiled at her, "And Thalia's tree, of how yes, it hard to do, but I saw what I needed to do, and I know she would do the same," He said as he started to laugh at the look Annabeth had, "And to think that a little girl like you would know, my master has a bigger reach than your mother or the other gods, and he will set the world right by removing the gods, and I will be there when he strips them of their power," He told her as she scowled at him.
"And when they are as powerless as us, I will gladly have my way with that bitch that you call your mother," He told Annabeth as she gained a look of shock, "And I bet she is a slut that will learn to suck my dick and love it, like a whore, like we'll make you," Luke added as I saw the hurt in her eyes along with silent rage.
And I did not like it.
I summoned my trident and slammed it on the deck, and the sea responded to my rage.
The calm sea started to get choppy as the wind picked up, and waves began to form and crash against all three boats.
Luke and Getō took hold as their ship was hit, and the look on both faces vanished as they looked at me.
I felt as if all my spirits formed around me. The blue flames met my godly blood and spirit energy, and I saw markings move down my hand, which was holding the trident.
They were angular and curving geometric patterns with a circle on the back of the hand, lines around each finger, and small diamonds on each knuckle.
I raised the trident, and it started to glow cyan as the water around us became wilder and worse.
And the Going Merry was not getting affected by it.
"You made a mistake," I told them as both of my enemies looked at me, "You pissed me off. Not with your words to me. No," I told them as the clouds above us became dark, "No, you started to talk shit about my fiancée so allow me to show you why that was a bad idea," I said as the blue glow around my trident became almost blinding.
I brought down the trident once more, as it released a shock wave that created a large wave heading towards the yacht, which was close to capsizing.
I pointed the trident away as the water obeyed my orders and pulled us away from Luke. I calmed down, and the marking on my arm started to pull away into my arm.
No one said anything, and I pulled Annabeth into a hug as she hugged me back before she started to cry into my shirt, and I held her tight.
Water pushed us away until we were a reasonable distance from them, and after Annabeth calmed down, she looked up at me. "Why did you do that?" she asked me as I looked at her.
"No one said anything bad about the ones I care for," I told her as she nodded at me, and I saw her cheeks turn red.
"So, Gyarados, what was with their markings on your arm?" Piper asked me as I looked down at my hand and saw a black diamond in the palm of my hand.
"They were called Cursed Mark Patterning," I told them as they nodded. They come from Curse Marks, but this one is mine. I was thinking what it would awaken, and I wonder what mine is," I muttered as I looked at the black diamond on my hand.
"What dose it do?" Annabeth asked as she looked at it.
"I pull in the spiritual energy from around us, the energy from the sea, sky, and land. It then makes the shaman stronger as the energy boosts our power, but we have to be careful," I told them as they looked at me, confused.
"What do you mean?" Bianca asked as she looked at me.
"Those who rely on the mark too much get drunk on the power, and in turn, the power turns on them, like my Blue Flames. If one is not careful, the mark will consume you along with the target," I told them. They looked shocked at what I had just said, and then what Luke said came to me.
"16," I muttered as Annabeth looked at me. That is the age I must reach right now, 16," I said as she nodded at me.
Clarisse raised a brow, "What of it," She asked me.
"Thalia's tree is healing her," I said as the others nodded. Now, before you all say anything, the current year is 2006; now, if I'm right, the fleece will possibly heal Thalia back to full strength and possibly bring her back, as in walking and talking," I told them as they nodded.
"Then that's good; you would not have to worry about prophecy, as Thalia would be the one that will have to have on her shoulders," Annabeth said as I shook my head.
"When was Thalia born?" I asked her as she opened her mouth, and a look of realization formed.
"What it it Owl-Head," Clarisse asked her.
"Thalia was born in 1987," she told them as they looked shocked. That means that she turns 19 this December. As for Nico and Bianca, they were both born in the nineteen twenties, and they both are 79, for Bianca, and 77, for Nico," Annabeth told the others as they looked at me, and I let out a sigh.
"And that is what the Fates said, that mine and Luke's fates were intertwined. I was born for multiple things, and one of them was for this prophecy," I told them, as they did not know what to say.
"That means even if Thalia had not been turned into a tree that you are the one that the prophecy needs," Annabeth said as I nodded.
"Yes, and they said that Luke was born for this moment, meaning he was born to turn on camp and the gods," I told her. Annabeth nodded as Bicana gained a look in her eye.
"Well, at least one part of the two prophecies has come true," she said as we all looked at her. 'You shall sail the sea goat past the chained princess.' And if we think about the name of that ship we passed, it was called the Princess Andromeda, who was a chained princess," Bianca told us as we nodded.
"And the first part of the first line came true for me," Annabeth said as I looked at her and saw hate in her eyes. 'The fake love shall be broken' and to think that I thought he looked hot,' she said as I and the others smiled at her.
"Hey guys, was it me, or were there other humans on the ship with the two of them?" Piper asked, and Annabeth nodded with narrowed eyes.
"You're right I saw both Chris Rodriguez and Ethan Nakamura and some others that left with Luke," Clarisse said as I bit my thumb.
"We need to let Chiron know, and we on watch just in case that their are any spies within camp," Annabeth said as she looked at me and moved the water to form an arc over the Merry, making a rainbow.
"Oh, Isis, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering," Annabeth said as she tossed the coin into the rainbow, "Please show me Chiron at Camp-Halfblood," She said as the rainbow rippled, and then it showed our activity's director.
"Everyone why are you calling? It has only been a few hours," Chiron asked us.
And we told him everything as I walked over to the helm and kept the water arch up.
"This is troublesome," He said as he looked across, and we saw Mr D there with him, "We'll look for the spy and go though with a fine tooth comb," Chiron told us as he cut the message as something caught my eye.
It was a whirlpool.
"Head us," I called out, and the girls looked over.
"The entrace to the Sea of Monsters," Annabeth said, and I nodded.
