Nico's Point of View
"Well we need to talk to you." Hades said. He was looking at me.
Poseidon was looking at Maggie. I was panicking. What if Hades asks me to go to Tartarus again? I told Maggie I would never go back. There was a knock on the door. Will walked over and opened the door. There in the doorway was Athena.
"I'm here. I'm sorry. Something happened. I took care of it." Athena said.
"Lady Athena." Maggie said and bowed. Athena walked over to her.
"You can just call me mom." Athena said to Maggie.
"But what about my mom?" Maggie asked.
"Well...your mom and dad couldn't have a baby. So I gave them you but your mom actually did give birth to you. My children are born through my mind so instead I put you in your mother's stomach so she could have a child." Athena explained.
"So I have three biological parents? And four parents altogether?" Maggie asked.
"Yes. Precisely." Athena said.
"Okay. So why are you all here and who do you have to talk to?" I asked.
"I came to talk to Maggie." Athena explained.
"I came to talk to Aaron." Apollo said.
"I came to talk to Nico." Hades said.
"I came to talk to Maggie too." Poseidon said.
"Why?" Maggie and I both asked at the same time.
"Well Athena couldn't come at first so I volunteered. Also I consider Maggie to be my daughter as much as Percy is my son." Poseidon explained.
"Thanks." Maggie said. "So what do you guys need to talk to us about?"
"You three will be going on a quest." Apollo said.
"What?" Aaron asked. "What's that?"
"A quest is when we are given a prophecy and have to fulfill it." Maggie explained. "But we haven't been given a quest yet."
"Soon, Maggie." Athena said. I turned to Maggie and grabbed her hand.
"I need to talk to you, Nico." Hades said. He gestured me over to him. Maggie squeezed my hand. I turned to her and leaned down.
"It's okay. I'll be back. I love you!" I said.
"Okay. I love you too!" Maggie said. I leaned down and kissed her. I walked over to my dad.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"I need you to go to Tartarus again." Hades said.
"Dad, I can't." I told him.
"Why not?" He asked kindly.
"I have Maggie now. I can't just leave her. And when we got stuck in Tartarus she found out and I told her I would never go back." I explained.
"Okay. I'm just glad you found her and that you're happy."
Maggie's Point Of View
Nico walked over to talk to his dad. I turned away. I didn't want to see what was happening. The door opened. I turned and Rachel walked in. She walked over to me and I noticed her eyes were green.
"Not again." I said. Her mouth opened and green fog came put.
"Once in the blue moon created,
The Green and a mortal mated.
To save the offspring,
Three must go before the King.
A son of Hades, a new son of Sun,
And you, the Chosen one.
Two shall be fine,
One is tested on the line."
I felt light-headed. And like I was going to faint.
"Nico." I tried to say but it came out as a whisper.
"Maggie!" Nico yelled and ran over in just enough time to catch me. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just the prophecy side-effects." I stood up with the help of Nico.
"So what did it say?" Will asked.
"Didn't you guys hear it too?" I asked.
"Only the goddesses and gods can hear prophecies. So when this happens only the one receiving the prophecy can hear it in the presence of demigods." Athena said.
"Okay. Well we should go to Chiron." Will said.
All of us, including Athena, Poseidon, Apollo, and Hades, went to Chiron. We found him in horse-form. When he saw us all his face kind of fell, which means that he knew something was up.
"Which one of you?" He asked. I raised my hand.
"That would be me." I said.
"What happened?" He asked. He kneeled down on his front legs.
"A prophecy.
Once in the blue moon created,
The Green and a mortal mated.
To save the offspring,
Three must go before the King.
A son of Hades, a new son of Sun,
And you, the Chosen one.
Two shall be fine,
One is tested on the line." I told him.
"What do you think it means?" Chiron asked. Nico, Will, and Aaron looked clueless.
"Well, the first line means it rarely happens. The second line indicates that a god or goddess and a mortal have a child. And the Green must refer to Demeter. Demeter does make sense because she doesn't have as many children as the rest besides the Big Three. The third and fourth line mean a quest for three to save that child from someone or something, the King. The fifth and sixth tell us that Nico, me, and Aaron are going. And of course the last two tell us that someone might die. Yay." I said the last part with sarcasm.
"That's my smart girl." Nico walked over and put his arms around my waist. I turned around and he kissed me.
"Nico. Can I tell you something?" Athena said.
"Yes, Lady Athena." Nico said, very politely. He stood straighter when she approached him.
"You better be good to her because even if she doesn't do something, I will." Athena threatened him.
"Thanks mom but he's good." I said.
"Okay. Go get some sleep. You have to start on a quest tomorrow. Goodnight." Athena said to me then walked out. Hades, Apollo, and Poseidon followed.
"Okay. Let's go to sleep." Nico said.
He pulled me along to his cabin. I changed into a black t-shirt and black shorts in the bathroom. When I came out Nico was in a black t-shirt and black pajama pants. We crawled into bed. He pulled me close to him and I put my arms around his waist.
"Goodnight Maggie. I love you!" Nico whispered in ear.
"Goodnight Nico. I love you too!" I whispered. We both drifted into sleep.
