You got out your lyre (sorry, I just love them) and began playing. Sure, it was pretty corny, but it made the fire look magical. Granted, it was magical. Then Chiron trotted up with Rachel. Yes, trotted. Chiron is a centaur, half-horse, half-man. They both looked concerned. You tried to tune out the shouting, about Capture the Flag, the dragon. You tuned back in when they mentioned Percy.
"We didn't find him. He wasn't at the Grand Canyon, but we have teams everywhere. Tyson, Grover, Nico, the Hunters of Artemis, everyone's out looking. But you're talking about something different aren't you Chiron?" Annabeth asked. "A new quest."
"It's the Great Prophecy, right?" Drew said
Everyone was stunned. Drew never spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Annabeth asked
"Well, come on." Drew spread her hands like the truth was obvious. "Olympus is closed. Percy is missing. Hera sends you a vision and now there are three more half-bloods in one day! Something is up!"
You, along with everyone else, turned to Rachel.
She sighed "Yes, the Great Prophecy has begun."
You almost went deaf. You had heard the Great Prophecy before, and it wasn't pretty. Falling, death, final breath. None of it was good.
"For those of you who haven't heard it," Rachel began "the Great Prophecy was my first prediction. It goes like this
Eight half-bloods shall answer the call/to storm or fire the world must fall..."
Jason jumped up so suddenly, it scared you.
"Ut cum spiritu postrema sacramentum dejuremus/Et hostes ornamenta addent ad ianuam necem
Frange praecepta mortis voluntas / Frigidus aut uri ante periculum"
Everyone stared.
"You- you just completed the prophecy" Rachel stammered "an oath to keep with a final breath/and foes bear arms to the doors of death/break the rules of death one will/to freeze or burn before peril."
"I know those lines, I don't know how, I just do."
"And in Latin, no less." Drew said "Handsome and smart."
You looked at Leo and shared a telepathic conversation while everyone was fighting
You: what an idiot
Leo: yeah
You: (bear with me) .__ .._ . ___ ..
Leo: did you just say wuesi?
You: what?
Leo: never mind
