Tyra's P.O.V.

I waited at the campfire, looking for Leo. Since I was the only child of Khione at camp, I was allowed to sit wherever I wanted. So, instead of sitting with the Stolls, I decided I'd sit with Leo.

I saw him walk over with the rest of his brothers and sisters. When he saw me he guided them all over towards me. What the hell is he doing?

"Uh, Leo?" I said. He just smiled and stood next to me with his arm slung around my shoulders.

"Guys, I would like you to meet the coolest girl in the world, Tyra Winters." He said proudly. I snickered.

"Uh, Leo. We already know each other." I said. He looks confused.

"Wait, what?"

"I've been here for seven years, dummy. Don't you think I would know everyone at camp by now?" I chuckled.

"Oh, yeah, that makes sense...." he trailed off. "Anyways, guys, she will be  joining us for the campfire tonight, so...Yeah."

"Cool," Nyssa said. I smiled at her.

"Good, let's go sit then." I said. I grabbed Leo's hand and pulled him to where the Hephaestus cabin sits. Me and Leo sat close to each other as his siblings and everyone else joined us.

Once everyone settled down, Chiron took that as the time to start.

"Very nice! A special welcome to our new arrivals. I am Chiron, camp activities director, and I'm happy you have all arrived here alive and with most of your limbs attached. In a moment, I promise we'll get to the s'mores, but first---"

"What about capture the flag?" Some kid yelled.

"Yes," Chiron said. "I know the Ares cabin is anxious to return to the woods for our regular games."

"And kill people!" One of the Ares kids shouted. Typical Ares kids.

"However, until the dragon is brought under control, that won't be possible. Cabin nine, anything to report on that?"

Chiron turned to the Hephaestus group, waiting for a response. Everyone looked this way. Leo winked at Piper and shot her with a finger gun.

"We're working on it." Nyssa said.

"How, Nyssa?"an Ares kid shouted.

"Really hard."

She sat down to everyone yelling and complaining. Chiron stomped him his fo-hoove on the fire stones, quieting everyone.

"We will have to be patient," Chiron said. "In the mean time, we have more pressing matters to discuss."

"Percy?" Someone asked.

"I didn't find Percy," Annabeth announced. "He wasn't at the Grand Canyon like I thought. But we're not giving up. We've got teams everywhere. Grover, Tyson, Nico, the Hunters of Artemis---everyone's out looking. We will find him. Chiron's talking about something different. A new quest."

"It's the Great Prophecy isn't it?" Drew stood up from the crowd, surprising everyone.

"Drew, what do you mean?" Annabeth asked.

"Well, come on. Olympus is closed. Percy's disappeared. Hera sends you a vision and you come back with three new demigods in one day. I mean, something weird is going on. The Great Prophecy has started, right?"

Everyone looked at a red headed girl. Rachel.

"Well," Drew said. "You're the Oracle. Has it started or not?"
