The rise of the falcon (ON HOLD)

Prophecy? (VII)

We arrived at the place where Leo wanted to take me. It looked like a cave, just a cave. Then we went in and to my surprise it was decorated from ceiling to floor with bright colours and paintings lined the walls. The were couches and a table in the middle of the room, just past that there was the kitchen. Light fixtures hung from the ceiling, wait, how is there electricity in a cave?! Leo answered that question before I got the chance to say it.

" Magic" he said, was he reading my mind? How could he have know that I was going to ask how there was electricity all the way out here! I heard a door close and I jumped but Leo stayed composed he didn't even flinch. A girl came out from the back near the kitchen, she smiled when she saw us. She had fiery red hair and freckles. Leo spoke first.

"Hi, I'm showing her around and thought you'd want to meet her" he said. The girl extended her hand to me.

"I'm Rachel Elisabeth Dare, and you are?" She questioned

"My name is Layla," I shook her hand and she looked at me expectantly " just Layla." I confirmed, she looked a little disappointed but then gestured for us to sit down. We obeyed.

"So what brings you two here?" She wondered

"Just thought she'd like to meet you is all." He stated. She gave him a puzzled look and opened her mouth to say something but I interrupted.

"If you don't mind me asking, who is your godly parent" I asked trying not to sound pushy or rude.

"I actually don't have one, I'm mortal." She said proudly. "Well mostly mortal..."

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my brow in confusion.

"Well I am the oracle of Delphi, so I am not completely mortal but I am no demigod." She explained. I remember when I was asking Leo about the big house he said the oracle moved into the woods. But, I was still confused about one thing.

"So how'd you get inside the barrier?" This was my last question for her.

"If only I knew! Now, Layla, if you don't mind telling me, who is your godly parent" she asked leaning forward not wanting to miss what I had to say.

"Umm..." I hesitated "My father is Hades...."

Suddenly Rachel doubled over, her eyes looked glossy and green smoke started emerging from her open mouth. When she spoke it wasn't her voice, it seemed to be coming from all around us hidden by the putrid green smoke:

A half blood of each the eldest gods

Shall find their way to a land with no odds

To seek for the treasure lost

And soar high to the world of the gods

The voice stopped and the smoke cleared. Rachel let out a groan and sat back up. I just stared at her in shock. Leo took my hand and that left me speechless. I could feel the heat coming to my cheeks.

"What?" Rachel asked, she had noticed me staring.

"You just kinda spit out a prophecy..." Leo said, I could tell he still wasn't used to it but he'd seen it before.

"I did?" She asked, shouldn't she know what she did! "Well what did I say?!" She asked expectantly. We recited her the prophecy and she sat there dumbstruck. "Wow," she said finally " we need to call a counsellor meeting ASAP!"

We rushed around camp trying to get every head counsellor to the rec. room. When we got to the Apollo cabin Will answered the door.

"Will, head counsellor meeting in the rec. room now!" Leo rushed.

"Wait hold up!" He said as we went to leave. "When did you two become a thing?" He said looking at our hands, which I had just realized that I was still holding Leo's. I blushed and was about to say something when Leo dragged me away, for the second time today.

(I am soooo annoyed at this app! It won't let me use italics when I type! It annoys me ! Well hope you enjoyed ! Sorry if the prophecy sounds unoriginal or boring, I just came up with it off the top of my head! See you later!📱👀)
