viii. slow down you crazy child,
you're so ambitious for a juvenileIT WAS TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING. She was called into a meeting about the quest, all of the eligible campers being offered up for the quest.
"The oracle has said what we predicted. That this quest will proceed towards the underworld where you will confront Hades," Chiron announced.
She looked at him and Mr D as they stood in a circle around the room. Percy seemed nervous about the situation, about choosing.
Daisy remembered standing here two years ago, hands behind her back, a nervous smile on her face as Luke stood in the exact same spot as Percy did now.
"The entrance to his domain is in Los Angeles, this is where you will journey to. Time is short," he explained.
She looked to her side at Luke. His eyes were trained forward, hands behind his back.
She was more calm. She didn't need to go on the quest, she had enough glory. Actually, her life was pretty perfect and she'd rather not go on the quest.
Luke did, she could see it in that determined look in his eyes. He really wanted to help Percy on that quest.
Deep inside, Daisy hoped that it wasn't going to be her or Luke, especially not him.
He had gone through so much over the years and she knew that if there was one more quest than he would get pushed over the end.
"I have picked many candidates to make sure that you succeed on your quest," Chiron said, gesturing to the others.
Percy took one scan of the room, eyes lingering on Luke and Daisy for a second.
He didn't hesitate before looking across the room, "Annabeth. I want Annabeth,"
She seemed shocked by it but also excited about it all. Daisy looked at her, shooting her a smile.
Chiron looked down at Percy, "Customarily, one waits to at least hear a name or two before choosing," he whispered, "Are you sure you don't want to hear more?"
"It's going to be hard to get? Yes?" Percy questioned.
"Extraordinarily," the centaur said, looking at the boy confused. He didn't know where he was going with this.
"If the mission required someone to push me down a flight of stairs, you'd want someone who won't hesitate when they go it," he said, eyes trained on Annabeth.
