CORAL

I won’t say the prophecy didn't freak me out. Why do we have to deal with another one just a few months after the second great prophecy? Argh, this is all so frustrating. I just hope this time Percy isn’t one of the eight demigods. Honestly, I don't want my brother to have near death experiences anymore. He's had enough. We sat in silence after Chiron explained what had been going on with the campers.
“So well, what now?” I asked
“Now, we just wait and see who the eight demigods shall be,” Chiron said, eyeing Percy. There was no way in hell I was letting Percy be a part of another great prophecy. He was supposed to go to college and I would not let anything get in the way of his future.
“Let’s go for dinner, now shall we?” Chiron said.

Piper, Rachel and my two friends Lilianah Valera and Ciera Rhodes from the Aphrodite Cabin and Hades cabin greeted us as we made our way to the mess hall.

“Hey you guys, Leo told us about what happened” Lilianah said and I noticed she had dyed her hair again.
“Hey, why the fuck did you colour your hair again Lils?” I asked her.
“I don’t know, the previous one didn’t look that good and the mental instability i guess” she said and I rolled my eyes which made Ciera chuckle.
“Seriously though, how do you manage to look so good with each and every hair colour?” Ciera asked Lilianah.
“I’m the most beautiful person you’ll ever meet,” Lilianah replied while flipping her hair.

We heard the conch horn blow and we all went to our tables to eat.
“I can never get tired of camp food,” I told Percy as we sat down to eat.
“Agreed” he replied.

We ate to our heart’s content and soon it was time for the campfire. I went and sat beside Lilianah and Ciera. The three of us had been bestfriends since I had come to camp and we were inseparable. I loved them with all my heart and was ready to sacrifice myself for them.

It was the Apollo cabin’s turn to carry out the campfire and as expected it was amazing but suddenly the music stopped as everyone looked at them in confusion. The Apollo campers all had their eyes on Rachel who doubled over as if she was punched in the gut and when she straightened herself her eyes glowed green and she spoke in a voice that wasn’t her own:

The Daughter of Sea;
Accompanied by Dove and Darkness,
Shall go in search of the creature of destruction.
Driven by deadly desire,
To choose if the world shall flourish or expire.

Rachel had passed out after that and this time all the eyes were trained on me. Chiron cleared his throat and asked me, “Coral Winters, do you accept the quest?”
I stood up with my not so stable legs and said “I do”.
Percy stood up and shouted “No Coral this is way too dangerous. Especially if the 'creature of destruction' is the Omnifelveltine."  I smiled at him and said “It’s okay Perce, after all a demigod has to put their life in danger to be able to be a true hero.”
“Alright, Coral choose your quest partners” Chiron said.
“Hmm, the prophecy stated “dove” and “darkness” so I'm guessing it’s Aphrodite and Hades” I paused for a minute “Lils? Ciera? Will you guys accompany me on this quest?”
“Oh hell yea!” exclaimed Lilianah.
“I’m in,” said Ciera.
“Thanks guys” I smiled at them.
I turned to Chiron “We’ll be leaving tomorrow”
“Okay then, let’s get you kids supplies.”
