"Hey Seungkwan's husband! What's up?" Wooyoung sat next to Vernon and narrowed his eyes.
"I- Anyways, you must visit the Oracle. . .There is a quest in need, and you must lead it" Vernon said, making Wooyoung's eyes widen.
The Oracle of Delphi was the most important shrine in all Greece, and in theory all Greeks respected its independence. ... People came from all over Greece and beyond to have their questions about the future answered by the Pythia, the priestess of Apollo.
"What?? A quest? Led by. . .me?" Wooyoung was surprised.
"Yes, your mother suggested using you. . ." Vernon said.
"Why me? And what happened?" Wooyoung asked.
"Why you? It's because your mother has faith in you and so do I. . . She wants you to retrieve her sacred pearl, which a cyclops had stolen during the last solstice. . . You must return it to Lady Aphrodite before the next Winter Solstice, Wooyoung. . ." Vernon explained.
"You must visit the oracle this instant and return to us. The rest of the campers and myself will be in the amphitheater. . ." Vernon said and stood up.
"There hasn't been a quest in years, kid, and everyone expects you to lead it" Vernon walked out of the Big House. "And yes, you are ready. You always were"
Why me?! I'm not ready yet! Wooyoung thought as he headed out of the Big House and reached the cave where the Oracle is situated.
Wooyoung shuddered as he entered the cave where puffs of green smoke curled around his feet. He approached the mummy-like figure which sat on a three-legged stool.
This place looks like a cave of fart fumes Wooyoung giggled.
He walked in front of the Oracle of Delphi. "O! Sacred Oracle! What must I do to lead this quest which has been offered to me by my mother, Lady Aphrodite" Wooyoung said.
"What the FUCK-" Wooyoung yelped when the mummy-like thing opened it's mouth and curls of the same green smoke poured out of its' mouth. And then, it spoke,
"Love, Flora and Theft will head west
To find the orb of white they must quest,
In the lair of the one-eyed they will find
But one must be left behind,
Death shall unleash it's rage
And bring back what it lost"
It said in a raspy voice, and it scared Wooyoung. "One must be left behind? Can you be more specific you fume-breathing mummy lady?" he kept his hands on his hips and questioned, but the Oracle of Delphi breathed in all the fumes and closed it's mouth.
It's the dead of the night and that thing scared me he shivered as he headed out and towards the amphitheater where all his friends and campers were gathered.
"Wooyoung!" San said and ran towards Wooyoung. San's biggest fear, which his father had warned him about was coming true. "Y-you're leaving me" he almost teared up.
"I can take you with me" Wooyoung just smiled as he responded.
But I know you can't San thought and went back to his seat since he could do nothing, followed by Wooyoung.
