The Sea of Monsters (Argo III/HBH's Version)

I better gain some Kleos after this

Sara's POV: 

June 10th 

Flowers woke up with a scream and, immediately after that said my name over and over.

"Sara. Sara. Sara!"

I got up out of my bed, groggily wiping my messy curls out of my face. I scrambled together the energy to answer. "What is it?"

Flowers nodded. "Not about... Not about what you wanted to. Something else. But still you. Remember that prophecy?

The Sea of Monsters is a location

One that'll bring you to your destination

The Wine, The Sea, and The sun will go

But beware to not let it overflow

Aeolus needs something to be done

And nothing more; so don't be overrun

The windbag is what you will find

Plus some others of their kind

It's about you. You're the sun. The wine and the sea? Bea and Maya. It became clear to me as soon as I saw it."

I didn't even ask about the dream. I just believed Flowers. "You mean... I have to go on a quest?" Flowers nodded again.

"Kleos," he mumbled, but with a worried look in his eyes. I assumed that he didn't want to be the cause of yet another 3 deaths.

"Don't worry. We'll finish this quest. Kleos. We'll come to Tantalus with it at dinner. We'll use the same peer pressure Percy used and..."

I realized I was thinking this through too well. Most times, that meant I was missing something obvious.

Heja.

Going on this quest meant the other one had to wait for some time, a time I couldn't say exactly how long.

I made a mental note to talk about it with her after breakfast. On the way to the dining pavilion, I got bombarded with a gust of wind, almost swiping me off of my feet. "Wow. Is Mr. D moody or something?" Normally there was barely any wind. Mr. D never let those things in. 

"I guess it has to do with the prophecy," Flowers mumbled. "Aeolus needs something to be done. The windbag is what you will find. I assume that he lost it. Either the wind is so strong because he's moody, or because someone else now has it and doesn't know how to keep it closed."

"It's giving Odysseus." 

"It was his crew that did it, not Odysseus," Flowers pointed out. I rolled my eyes. Mythology wasn't my strongest point. Hey, at least I knew it had to do something with Odysseus. That was good enough for me. 

After dinner, I found Heja walking towards the Athena cabin with her siblings.

"Heja," I said, tapping on her shoulder. She turned around to face me.

"Oh, Sara, it's you," she said, her face lighting up. First, she turned to the other Athena kids. "I'll be there in a minute." Then turning back to me, she said, "Any news?"

"Uhm... Yes. But you're not gonna like it."

I then told Heja about Flower's dream and the quest I would have to undertake. Heja shifted her weight while coming up with an answer.

"I... I get it," Heja said. "It has been getting quite windy lately."

"Hey, it'll be max a week. Don't worry," I said, hoping to lighten the mood a bit.
