Argo III -The Next Generation

20 I hate prophecies. So much. So very very much.

(Gee thanks Dew leave me to write the serious parts also I didn't eat that much chocolate just...15 bars. See that's not much is it? No don't answer that.)

Chiron gathered us all around Rachel (she seemed like a simple girl certainly not a thousand years old but again Artimis had looked like a 12-year-old girl), me and all of my friends stood in the front with the previous heroes at the back. I could see that all of my friends were quite nervous and tense.

Suddenly green smoke started spewing from Rachel's mouth and her eyes started glowing green. And then she started speaking-only it wasn't her voice it sounded like some snake would sound like that, if a snake could speak and that too like three snakes were speaking at once.

Will the seven realize their mistake,

And begin the ritual for the Sky to Awake.

Dark will make its way to haunt,

But it's what the New Seven Want.

The Sacrifice of Ugla will be the chance,

For the Seven to unite and advance.

There will be a Core to all the Four,

The Masters of Asimiastrapi will end the War.

We all stared open-mouthed at the oracle of Delphi, AKA Rachel except two demigods who apparently knew that she would collapse as soon as the prophecy ended and quickly ran to catch her, lucky for her else she could have gotten a concussion.

I suddenly noticed that Dew was gripping my hand pretty tightly and the same with Bell and Tim. Wow. Death quests did intend to bring out the romantic side of people and-OH WAIT WERE NAT AND ARTHUR HOLDING HANDS?!

I decided that death quests later first we really needed to have a girls night. Thinking of girls where was Skye?! Oh, thank goodness Nat was holding Skyes hand with her other hand. Those two really had formed a close bond. I decided that this time the girls were the warriors for our quest while the boys, also warriors were more of the caring type and less fighting type. Though I wasn't really sure about Dew....

"Well then" Chiron started "there we have it. Our next great prophecy and our next seven heroes" the other campers stared at us in awe and some like Drew Tanaka (a snotty Aphrodite girl me and Bell had come to dislike immensely especially after she charm spoke Dew at the race) looked at us with boredom as if she couldn't believe that such non-fashionable people could EVER save the world. Well, I had the doubts about that myself (not about the fashion the saving the world thing!).

I might have been the only sane one around, because guess what the others were worried about. They were worried that what would be our crews Name. Like the last seven were named The Argo 2. I was so frustrated at everyone, even Nat, the only other sensible person around, was freaked out that our group didn't have a name. Annabeth and I were the only ones to think about the doom that lied after us. Thank Gods, that Leo was there. He saved the situation. he gave my friends the most obvious idea ever. What he said was, "If the first big mission was named Argo and if the second big mission was named Argo 2. Then, you guys should name your crew, Argo 3. How does that sound."

And well the others reactions were as if Leo had spoken some holy words and provided the greatest wisdom that man-kind ever had. I mean they all went nuts and started praying Leo as if he was part of the 12 Olympians. But I said nothing because I was sure that if I said anything the 6 of my friends would have killed me by just looking at me. What I did when they all were going nuts. Well, Dew (Dew was not a part of this Crew name, surprising isn't it) Me, Percy and Annabeth, we were trying to decipher the prophecy. The only thing we found out is that every decision that the Argo 3 made, had to be taken carefully because the prophecy said that we will make a mistake and I do not like wasting time in mistakes.

After a whole lot of discussion between Percy, Annabeth, Dew and Me, we were interrupted by well, Bell. She told us, "The Current seven will be called the Argo III and Tim, Leo and I will be building a huge ship."

To my shock, Bell wanted to build a ship but I understood why. It was because Tim would be working beside her. So, I tried to ask her as innocently as possible, "You, want to build a ship with Leo and Tim, and why is that if I many ask."

I could she her blushing but somehow she managed to reply with a straight face, "Because I don't want Tim to ruin the ship like he ruined our chariot in the chariot race, so I wanted to keep an eye on him. That's all."

It was so easy to tell that she was lying. Even Dew, Annabeth and Percy were trying to suppress their smiles. But I decided to ask Bell later about the whole Tim thing. My first priority was to gather up Argo III and tell them what we had figured out so far. It was not much but it was something atleast.
