Percy's pov

The news of Rachel's prophecy spread through the school like wild fire. Or should I say Greek fire. By the time lunch break was over, everyone was already whispering and pointing in my direction. I had kinda hoped that going to that school would mean no more annoying prophecies. But as it turned out we hadn't been forgotten yet.

Half way through Latin class Annabeth came to the door saying that Chiron was asking me to come to his office. By the time Annabeth and I arrived Jason, Pipper, Frank and Hazel were already there.
"Yo Chiron," I said as I walked through the door "what's the special meeting all about?"
Chiron just looked at me stony faced,
"I assume you heard about the prophecy?" He said as a question as if he genuinely wasn't sure.
"Yeah," I replied "had a bit of a trauma with my waffles actually." I cracked a smile and I could see Jason struggling not to laugh.
"It went something like:
The seven and their new found friends,
Shall to travel to where all men meet their ends,
Something something lost
Some stuff about cost
An honest man he will try to be,
And stuff about tasks" they didn't look very impressed by my astounding memory skills. I was about to try to defend myself when Annabeth butted in. Gods I love her.
"Percy got most of it right but lucky for us someone had a pen and paper handy and wrote it all down."
"Who?" I asked bemused. She pretended to whack me on the head with the paper she had in her hand.
"Me seaweed brain!" She handed the paper over to Chiron who pushed his glasses up his nose and examined the text.

Reyna pushed the door open wide without even knocking.
"What's all this about a prophecy? And why hasn't anyone told me?" She stormed over to where Chiron was sat, well I say sat where he was folded up In a wheel chair, and read the prophecy over his shoulder.
"Well, by "the seven" it obviously means you lot but who are your knew found friends?" She looked over at us "any hints you guys?"
Jason opened his mouth as of to say something but he seemed to think the better of it and shut his mouth again.
There was one thing worrying me but I didn't want to say it luckily Piper was the one who pointed it out.
"I hate to mention this but, there aren't seven of us anymore." She looked around as if expecting someone to say something, but no one did. The room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Chiron cleared his throat
"I know we all miss Leo very much," he was very clearly uncomfortable "but we need to work on the rest of prophecy."
"Right so, god of lost stuff," I said peering at the sheet over Chiron's shoulder. "Come on Romans. Yous lot have a god for everything."
Jason perked up, random obscure roman gods were his area of expertise
"Yeah! There is this god his name is Nataero-"Nartaro?" I asked "that's complete bull-" I looked over at Chiron and decided not to finish the sentence.
"Actually that name does ring a bell. I would have to do some more research." Reyna said "oh and percy if we are supposed to get this guy on our side don't call him names and learn how to pronounce his real one properly Naa-taa-row." She looked back down at the prophecy and I could see her lips moving as she read it aloud to her self quietly. Her dyslexia probably making it quite a bit harder for her than it should have been.
""All men meet their ends" the underworld? Nic- oh." Reyna seemed confused, "I thought he would be here."
"Chiron only called us," frank said, he looked extremely uncomfortable and I hoped he wouldn't accidentally turn into a bulldog like he did in his science exam.
"I'm sorry I didn't think Nico would be relevant to this prophecy." Chiron rolled his wheel chair away from his desk a little, "I can go fetch him if you think it would help?"
"No you stay here we will have to fill him later. Do you guys think Nico might be one of out new found friends? I mean we all grew very close." Annabeth looked around and made a shrugging motion awaiting everyone's opinions. But she didn't find out right then because that was the moment the room was blown apart.
