Linked Demigods (HIATUS)

Chapter 21: The Colours

Percy's POV

Chiron called us early before the council meeting started with Four, who was at the Big House in one of the spare rooms, like Time. Before he was gone...

I missed Time. Time looked like he was the leader-figure to many of his friends, considering how much it looked like they missed him.

"So? Why is this early?" Four asked.

"What I'd like to talk to you about- your prophecy," Chiron said.

"Four will leave up to the name,

Powers simply not the same.

Wind, Earth, Fire, Water shall soon split

And one day, will tell the story of it."

Four had gone slightly pale, but like many of the other heroes, could cover it up. It seemed like he knew what Chiron meant in the prophecy.

"I see," he said, "Well, that's fine...I guess. It'll all come into play later."

Four (Red)'s POV

A voice like the wind swept thorough my mind.

"Red. About that prophecy...maybe this will be a new start for us."

"What do you mean?" Red answered.

"Don't tell me that you're thinking what I'm thinking," A powerful voice rolled off.

"Yes...maybe we could reveal ourselves," Green said, "We're going to anyway, according to the prophecy. Why don't we just do so now?"

"I don't like this. They'll treat us differently or something." Blue answered.

"We split then, and combine every once in a while. Then, if they have a favourite, they can spend time with whoever." A firm, strong voice answered.

"I....that's more fair, Vio." Blue answered. "I don't really agree...but...if it's going to be revealed anyway..."

"That's the spirit!" Red chirped. "So, when?"

"At the meeting," Green decided. "It seems the best to get our point across. Vio? Does that seem right?"

"Yes. It works the best strategically." Vio answered. "Is everyone else in agreement?"

Everyone agreed. Blue grumbled slightly, but agreed as well.

"Then it's settled," Green said. "We reveal it soon."

Percy's POV

"We have to get to Daedalus's workshop first," Annabeth insisted. "FindAriadne's string and prevent Luke from using it." 

"But if nobody can navigate in there," I said, "what chance do we have?" 

"I've been studying architecture for years," she said. "I know Daedalus'sLabyrinth better than anybody." 

"From reading about it." 

"Well, yes." 

"That's not enough." 

"It has to be!" 

"It isn't!" 

"Are you going to help me or not?" 

I realised everyone was watching Annabeth and me like a tennis match.Mrs. O'Leary's squeaky yak went 'EEK!' As she ripped off its pink rubberhead. Four shifted on his feet.
