*Chapter Twenty Five*

~Annabeth's POV~

Back at Camp Half-Blood we all gather in the cave of our Oracle Rachel. Some of us sit on couches or in chairs but others have to sit on the floor because there's so many of us. Rachel sits in a comfy looking red chair straight and stiff.

"What is it?" She asks concerned.

"Zeus told us to come and see you about a prophecy regarding the missing demigods." I answer a little frightened. I like Rachel but no matter how many times I see her with green smoke coming out of her mouth it still creeps me out and makes me want to run.

She sighs and nods. "It came to me a couple days ago. Someone was able to write it down. Chiron told me not to tell until the time is right."

"Well go on then, what's the prophecy?" Harry asks leaning forward in his seat.

Rachel grabs a brown leather  clad book from the shelf behind her and flips in to a random page. She looks at the page and then back at us. After she mumbles to herself a bit she takes a deep breath and recites the prophecy.

"Thee who are willing must make the trip,

where only the bravest can venture,

If won over she will help you slip,

the minds of the missing in adventure,

Only the children of the sky god ,

can save you in the end,

the true heroes will fight despite the odds,

for the worlds to blend."

When Rachel finishes no one moves or speaks. Rachel puts the book back on the shelf and looks at us glumly.

At least the prophecy doesn't say anything about one of us dying.

"I think we need to have a council meeting." Percy finally says quietly. Without question we all rise and head to the big house to speak with Chiron.

~Percy's POV~

I watch as Rachel recites the prophecy again for the head campers, the Romans, and the wizards to hear.

"Thee who are willing." I says running my hands through my hair. "So anyone can go on the quest if they are willing to?"

"Well I am going." Annabeth says standing up. I nod.

"Me too."

In less than a minutes we conclude that the people going are: Me, Annabeth, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Nico, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. Reyna has to stay behind to lead Camp Jupiter, Lilly prefers to stay behind and help out at camp.

"The minds of what missing in adventure." Annabeth mumbles to herself thoughtfully. "That must be the missing demigods, they all went missing on quests." She concludes. None of us argue knowing she's probably right.

"I hate prophecies." Leo grumbles under his breath.

"I know man, me too." I agree. I've had enough prophecies for a lifetime. The prophecy about me reaching the age of sixteen was pretty bad, but then there was the prophecy of seven and everything that came with it, I freaking fell in to Tartarus with Annabeth! Next the prophecy that sent us to Hogwarts and now this. Yeah you could say I've had my share few of prophecies.

"I'm not sure what this all means but Thalia and Jason are supposedly going to save you in the end. In order for them to save you, you have to find them." Chiron says from the head of the ping pong table. "Everyone going on this quest has until tomorrow at lunch to figure things out. That's when you leave."

We all nod nervously. No matter how many prophecies and quests were part of we still get nervous for each one.

"I suggests you start now, time is of the essence." He says in dismissal. For a second there he reminded me of Dumbledore.

When we leave the meeting everyone disperses. Most head to find answers for the quest but me and Annabeth head to the lake. Probably not the best way to spend time when we only have until lunch tomorrow but we need to relax.

As we walk Annabeth is lost in thought. A million thoughts flash through her eyes as she looks at the sky.

Suddenly she stops in her tracks. It was so sudden it takes me a minute to realize she stopped and by then I'm a few feet ahead of her. I turn around quizzically and jog to her side.

"What is it?" I ask confused.

"I think I know where we need to go." She says getting excited. "Come on!" She sprints across the sand and towards the cabins. One cabin in particular, the Athena cabin. I race after her.

Out of breath she enters the empty cabin and stars filing through stacks of books and papers.

"Here it is." She says grabbing a big worn out book. She flips page after pager finally stopping. Her finger travels down the page looking for something in particular.

"What?" I ask.

"The place the prophecy mentions. Where the brave will venture, if won over she will help slip the minds." Annabeth rushes out quickly. "It's Hecate's island. Hereos go there looking for magical help, they must prove their worthiness to her before she will help. Many heroes died there trying to get her to help them." She says sadly. I put my hand on her shoulder letting her know if we go there we will live.

"Where's this place at?"

"I'm not sure." She answers studying the book. "It only gives coordinates. 23, 36, 74, 18." (I completely made all of this up.)

"I'm sure I can get us there." I say a bit more confident about the quest.

For the rest of the night me and Annabeth stay awake in my cabin discussing plans and trying to decipher the rest of the prophecy. We would have stayed In her cabin seeing as she has all the books but her siblings weren't thrilled with the idea of us keeping them awake all night.

~Leo's POV~

After a night of terrible demigod dreams I meet up with my friends for breakfast. Everyone going on the quest sit together at the Poseidon table, it being the only one that can fit us all, despite the rules.

"Me and Annabeth figured out something yesterday." Percy says eating bacon.

"Actually I figured it out." Annabeth corrects him and then she explains to us about Hecate's island.

"So we use Percy's freaky sea powers to find the island, if we live and prove ourselves to Hecate she will help us find the missing demigods?" Frank sums up. Annabeth nods.

"We can use the Argo II with a bit of cleaning it will be ready." I say excited to have an excuse to use Festus again.

"Great!" Piper says eating. "After we eat lets pack and then we can either train or help Leo."

"Annabeth I suggest you bring some off the books you and Percy were looking at." Hermione says to Annabeth who nods.

They all continue talking but I leave to go to the Argo II.

~~~~~

Yay another prophecy! (Note the sarcasm.) I wonder what will happen on this quest? Nah just kidding I already know. Any ways I came up with the prophecy and the whole Hecate's island thing, the coordinates are random numbers and none of it is real. Please don't take my ideas it took me forever to come up with.

Love you guys....

Question: What are the coordinates the gray ladies give Percy in the taxi of damnation?????
