The forgotten prophecy

1. Lara

It was a sunny morning, for the time being nearly 6AM. Lara had woken up early, with great care to not wake up her cabin roommates. She had gone down the ladder of her bunk bed and walked out on her tippy toes. She had then headed towards the combat field, passing by the beach first, just to briefly see the sun rise higher over the horizon. She wanted some alone time. Lara was a very appreciated person. People all around camp would either befriend her or respect her. She didn't have much enemies because of her talent at capture the flag or combat, but there was an exception. She absolutely hated two people. Well, not only these two... they're whole cabins. Lara was maybe a very sweet and empathetic person, she felt pure hatred towards these two. They were all three the counselors of they're respective cabins. And dont worry, the hate was mutual! Whenever there was a council or a decision to make, they'd fight. But that's not why Lara wanted to be alone, early in the morning, on the training fields. She wanted to test something out.

A few years before, she was told by her siblings... well, half-siblings.. that shell unlock powers by the age of 14, maximum 15. But, because there is a but, she was 16 and still powerless. Yes, she was good with a spear, but that was basic! All the kids around her had cool powers! Even some 8 years old kid had powers and she didn't! It was so unfair! That's why, a month before, she decided she'd get up in the morning and go to the training field to try to test out her powers.

The field was large and open. Lara arrived and decided she would try and unlock the most common power of her cabin. She scanned the area and spotted some large wood boxes. She gathered them up in a column and climbed it up. She stud on it and looked down. It was a small column, maximum 2 meters. If she fell to the ground, she wouldn't get so hurt. With small courage and a lot of fear, Lara jumped from the column. She tried to push some imaginary muscles on her back, imagine she could flap, nothing worked. She then proceeded to have a small kissing session with the ground and roll down to the other side of the field. Lara struggled to get up, and when she was half sitting, she heard an annoyingly familiar laugh. She lifted her head up to confirm her suspicions. Sadly, she was right. The mid height long dark haired brunette was standing with her utterly annoying twin sisters laughing directly to Lara's face.
- Will you look at that! Lara Claine finally founded a boyfriend, too bad he isn't alive! the most annoying of the three spoke up.
What was Lara thinking, of course Violet couldn't keep her mouth shut and restrain herself from making a disagreeable comment!
- Well at least mine isn't the product of magic, Lara answered, reminding Violet a bad experience of two summers ago.
Violet's expression suddenly changed and she looked at Lara with her dark purple eyes that would've made anyone pee their pants. But Lara wasn't anyone. She stood up and wiped her hand on her clothing, removing the dirt she had collected on her « roll of the field », like she liked to call it.
- Don't play with subjects Lara, Violet retorqued. You know what happens when I get mad...
Lara raised an eyebrow.
- You think I'm scared of you Violet?
Violet was about to retort when a loud thunder sound resonated all throughout camp. Lara heard a couple of high pitched screams and she realized that time had passed and majority of the camp was awake. And those who weren't are definitely now. As they were taught to, a new rule of last summer, after the war of the Titans, all the campers joined the grand house. It was an emergency mesure, but as much as Lara, all the the campers considered this an emergency. Mr.D and Chiron came out the Grant House with Rachel Dare, the oracle. The thunder sound continued, even if there were no clouds. A voice speaked, but not a weak voice. No, a god's voice, a powerful voice.
- Oh my sweethearts! What a luck you have! The wheel has spinned on now to recital It, the voice stopped for a second and murmured something along the lines of « I know! I'm getting to the point! ». Very well. Since the gods are in such a hurry, here is your prophecy: To save, the foes must come to peace. Three shall unite to form a team. They shall find the traitor to the realms of the mortal world. To succeed, one shall perish by a old friend's hand. And another by saving a friend. To win, they shall find four forgotten elements. In ancient history they shall search. To see Olympus vanquished or preserved.
The voice stopped talking and the calm remained. Chiron had a pallid look and took several minutes to react.
- Very well. All campers, go back to your normal activities. Counselors, be at the meeting in five minutes.
A couple of campers entered the grand House while the majority went back to their occupations. Lara wasn't part of the easy « I go back to what I was doing before » part, she was going to the council meeting as head of her cabin.
