It was finally over. The second gigantomachia and with that, the threat of Gaia was over. The Olympians had again won and roman and greek demigods had made peace.

Three days ago they had celebrated the victory.

Now, Percy and Annabeth sat together at the beach and enjoyed the moment. Only to be interrupted by Blackjack.

"Jo Boss! Something terrible has eaten my buddy Celvin!"

"What? A gigantic crocodile again?" Percy asked in alarm.

"No, looked like a human with wings and boar tusks. And it was large." Blackjack answered.

"I see what I can do. Nobody can eat pegasi and get away with it." Percy told him angry. Why was there never a break?

"What is it?" Annabeth wanted to know. Percy told her and like on his own, on her face grew concern.

"I don't like that." She said.

He agreed.

"We should speak with Chiron about it." Annabeth suggested. And with that, they made their way to the big house.

Chiron listened closely and agreed, that Percy should go and look what he could do.

But first he had to go to Rachel and ask for advice of the Oracle. And he could bring two others with him.

"Annabeth and hm. Grover has to do work" Percy said and looked for help to Annabeth. She shrugged. "Let's ask Rachel first. Than we can choose."

He nodded.

They walked to the oracle's cave where they were greeted happily by Rachel.

"Hey you two! I assume, you got a quest, seeing your faces don't look happy." She said when the two demigods entered.

"Yeah, we need to know how to fight a large pegasi eating chicken man with boar tusks in his mouth." Percy answered.

"A what?" Rachel asked curious.

"You heared it. Blackjack said it looked like a large human with wings and boar tusks and eat the pegasus Celvin" Percy said.

Rachel only nodded and sat down on the oracle chair.

"Now ask your question." She said.

Percy thought for a moment, than he asked "Where can I find a large, winged, boar tusked, pegasi eating beast, that has the body of a human?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes and muttered "Seaweed Brain!"

Green smoke came out of Rachel's mouth and she answered "Meet a heroe of the oracle gods at the place for cattle, from here two hours north.

You need his help in upcoming battle, against a new enemies force."

The smoke disappeared and Rachel looked at them.

"What had it said?" She asked.

"That was not a prophecy." Annabeth said.

Rachel nodded and answered "The oracle's main purpose is to answer questions. Not giving prophecies.

This is perhaps not important enough for a prophecy. But, what did it say?"

They told her and she said "Perhaps I should join you. I could be helpfull, considering that we have to meet a heros of some oracle gods."

"That's a great Idea! But we should arm you before we make our way to the monster." Annabeth said.

Percy told them that he would get three pegasi for them, while Annabeth and Rachel went to the armory to get Rachel some arms and armor. Even if she was not supposed to fight, it was better to be save than sorry.
