The car swerved in and out of the New York traffic. "Do even know how to drive this thing?" Tommy yelled to Daemon as the teenagers smashed into the right side of the car in the back.

"Of course I do. If you would like me to actually follow the traffic laws we won't get there until tomorrow." Daemon replied, yanking the steering wheel to the side again. "We need to get to a safe place while Lunette deals with the Gods  tomorrow."

"A.K.A the ocean. My father can protect you guys  since I can't while I'm gone. The sooner we get to the ocean the better. The sooner my birthday is over the better." Lunette sighed.

"That's the second part of the prophecy, isn't it? 'To the Gods, the young goddess must acknowledge.'" Percy said.

"Yes. Tomorrow, my birthday. I have to go to Mt. Olympus and they name me Goddess of Power, and make me completely immortal." Percy shot her a confused glance. "The past fifteen years I have aged, obviously, but the day after tomorrow I stop aging for good. Remember when you first met me and you were surprised that I was only fifteen? A goddess matures differently than a mortal during the grace period before immortalization. I aged twenty years in just sixteen years. Make sense?" Lunette looked back at Percy in the review mirror and shook her head at the sight of his confused expression. "Oh, never mind."

"So what does the rest of the prophecy mean then?" Amanda asked.

Lunette pulled out a small notebook that had the prophecy written in it in big loopy letters. "The first part is pretty clear. 'Six shall go North,' The six of us are to go North, and I am assuming to the minor gods and goddess' headquarters, 'to the three with knowledge,' and I pretty sure that means Hestia and two others are being held captive because they know too much. But what do they know that could push the other minors to keep them captive? It has to be something about the rebellion, but what?"

"Do you think that Tessa is one of the three?" Lissa said.

"Maybe. But how could she know anything about the rebellion?"

"Well maybe it means the three with knowledge are the three people that know that you're, you know, the daughter of two Olympians."

Lunette shook her head. "That's definitely not it because all of you know about me. In fact, I think everyone knows the truth about me except for the majority of the demigods."

"Tessa. She got a message from Iris. She told me the day before she went missing. Did Iris know anything? Could she have told her?" Lissa said.

Lunette glared at Lissa. "Iris made contact with Tessa." Lissa nodded. "And you didn't tell me?" Lunette roared.

"I didn't think it was important." Lissa whispered.

"Important? Its about the only thing that makes you useful at all! If she made contact with Iris then that is the reason she has anything to do with the rebellion. My dream. Iris she was trying to tell me something. Yes, that's it. Hestia, Iris, and Tessa, the three with knowledge. It has to be." Lunette looked up at the demigods in the car giving her a strange look. "It was Tessa in the cave, in my dream. And then it was Iris. They were both calling for help. And then-" Lunette frowned.

"And then what?" Percy said.

Lunette pursed her lips and said carefully, "And then I died." The car fell silent.

"But that's not possible, you're immortal, you can't just die." Percy reasoned.

"There are ways for immortal to perish." Lunette said slowly. "That last part of a dream, it was a vision, a foreshadow."
