The morning greeted the campers with delight. Laughter filled the mess hall as the campers gathered for their breakfast and onto their respective chores. Inspection is ongoing with Cheska Veranga, an Aphrodite kid, holding a clipboard and roaming around the cabins. Dionysus hasn’t returned from Olympus since the Winter Solstice meeting and Chiron began to worry. “There is something in the air that doesn’t feel right.” He thought to himself as he paced back and forth. Suddenly, a green glow beamed through the attic of the Big House. The campers noticed the glow, halting whatever they’re doing, and began to stare in amazement and fear. Another prophecy is about to take place.
Ysha Bernales, the new Oracle, sat at her bed glooming all green with mystified eyes that terrorizes even the bravest camper. Hermes suddenly flashed into camp looking warily. He went to see Chiron and told him the news, Chiron simply nodded.
Chiron and Hermes climbed the attic to meet the Oracle. Ysha stares blankly to the window waiting for them. The two hurriedly sat beside the Oracle. The Oracle started to speak:
“An empire will rise again bringing terror to its enemies,”
“Four will respond to the calling of the jewels”
“Thru space and time, good must prevail”
“Fight their adversary and beat the odds”
“Take the kingdom to ruins they must or face the extinction of the gods”
With that, the Oracle collapsed.
Hermes helped the Oracle to lie on her bed. Chiron, meanwhile, was deep in thought. They must find the golden sundial as quickly as possible.
Chiron walked out of the attic and of the Big House looking troubled. “Where can we find the golden sundial?” He thought to himself.
Suddenly, Dionysus appeared wearing his usual leopard shirt and holding a bottle of wine. He looks quite unaffected by the current crisis. “Isn’t this the day that we pick our Camp Parliament?”
Chiron was awoken through his senses. “Yes, yes. I forgot about that. We should decide right away so that we'll have time to tackle some pressing issues.”
Mr. D and Chiron got inside the Big House. Hermes teleported himself to Olympus minutes ago. The two settle on choosing the rightful leader of the campers through making amends and considerations. The Prime Minister should be approachable, humble, and kind but brave and wise at the same time.
Upon hours of deliberation, weighing in the options, and considering the possible feedback among the campers; Mr. D and Chiron walked out of the Big House. Chiron blew a horn signaling a camp meeting in the amphitheater and one by one, the campers responded with the signal.
Inside the amphitheater, the campers talked about on who are the possible members of the parliament. Jesheille Lucas and Keenan Razdak from the Athena cabin are possible nominees together with Gabrielle Bee of Dionysus cabin, Bethany Terry of Hades cabin, and Hubert Clarkson from Apollo cabin. But none of them are sure about their guesses.
The noise continued until Chiron stood and said:
“Today, we will announce the newest Camp Parliament. It consists of a Prime Minister and two Vice’s that will serve as the right hand of the Prime Minister. We have decided and our bases for selection are your leadership, social skills and your fighting skills.”
