The next day, the Demeter kids' hair was back to normal, and Billie NG couldn't be happier to notice that her blue hair looked just the same as it did before.
The day arrived on as all the others. Trying to figure it Kronos' next move, training, preparing.
After dinner time, the campers assembled around the campfire as usual.
They sang a few songs, led by the Apollo Cabin, before Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena, and Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, stepped up in front of everybody.
"Campers, we have news," Annabeth said.
The chatter died down.
"Alright," Annabeth said, "this is about the Iris Message problem"
"What?" Charlie Beckendorf, a son of Hephaestus, said. "I thought we said that it wasn't that big a deal."
"Yeah," Clarisse LaRue, a daughter of Ares, butted in, "you Athenas said it was just some kind of godly glitch or something."
"We admit we were wrong," Annabeth said darkly as if it hurt her pride.
"Well, that's a first," Clarisse said with a smirk.
Annabeth glared at her.
"As you know," she continued, "we haven't been able to IM anyone in the past few days. At first we believed that it wasn't anything important, but we've recently found out some new information."
Rose pursed her lips. She'd often attempted to IM her foster family, to no avail. It sucked, she hadn't been able to speak with them for two weeks.
Percy Jackson nodded. "Yeah. Apparently someone kidnapped Iris and trapped her somewhere. We have to send a team of Half-Bloods to rescue her," he said.
A murmur lifted from the group of campers. The campfire flames turned green.
"To kidnap a goddess, the kidnapper must be insanely powerful," Rose stood up with a frown. "They must be a deity of some sort. Do you have any suspicions about who it could be?"
"We think it's Kronos trying to block our communication lines," Annabeth said.
Rose nodded and sat back down in between Katie and Miranda.
"Are you going to send Percy Jackson like you usually do?" a son of Hermes said, crossing his arms.
Percy shook his head. "Not this time. The prophecy was pretty precise on who to send. Either way, Beckendorf and me need to get ready to attack the Princess Andromeda," he said.
"So you already have a prophecy for the quest?" Katie said.
Annabeth cracked a smile.
"Yes," she said, pulling a piece of parchment from her pocket.
She cleared her throat as the campers waited for her to speak.
"Four demigods shall go on a quest,
To defeat the blood-suckers and find the great chest.
Two daughters of the goddess of grain,
Shall free the Rainbow from her chain,
As two sons of the wing-footed god,
Protect them with their own true blood.
But be warned, for with too many tears,
You may not return among your peers."
The campers were as silent as only Hades knew how to be.
