Last chapter:
Annabeth was losing hope. The ship was on fire and the only one that was fire-proof was Leo. "Piper get some buckets and Leo calm down!" Annabeth shouted over the roar of the flames.
"Thalia, can you make it rain?" Thalia nodded and closed her eyes. First it started as drizzling then it started lashing rain.
Clarisse and the Stolls ran out, choking on smoke.
They ran over to Thalia and Annabeth. Annabeth wasn't sure what Leo was doing, since he was flames were steadily burning everything in their path and didn't look like they would stop anytime soon.

Suddenly the flames stopped. They slowly started to go out, and finally disappeared. Annabeth looked over to the control room and was shocked at what she saw. Leo was standing looking exhausted, but strangely happy.
Then he fell backwards with a groan. Piper ran over and checked if he was alright. "Never again" he muttered. Annabeth was puzzled. 'What is he talking about?' It suddenly hit her. Leo had made the fire disappear.
It wasn't actually that surprising. Percy could do the same with water, and Thalia could do it with a storm or lightning. Jason, whom Annabeth hadn't noticed while she was thinking asked "Did he do that?" Annabeth jumped and turned around.
She noticed Jason standing there, looking at Piper fussing over Leo. No matter what they called each other, Piper and Leo were good friends and it would be hard not to notice it at moments like this.
Annabeth nodded, smirking at the shock on Jason's face. He had seemed to get a bit doubtful after being told about Percy. For some reason, he thought Annabeth wasn't telling the full truth about Percy, and while pitiful it was nice to see him shocked.
He was the strongest at his camp, she reasoned, and he wasn't used to anyone being a threat to his position as leader. Annabeth knew it wouldn't be as much of a problem once Jason and Percy met, since Percy would probably let Jason be their leader for most of the time, unless it was a dangerous situation that needed him as leader.
"Annabeth!" Annabeth twirled around and looked at Jason who was looking a bit concerned. "Are you alright?" "Yes, why wouldn't I be?" Jason looked at her curiously for a moment before answering.
"I've been calling you for the last three minutes" He said. Annabeth blushed. She hadn't thought that she had been thinking for that long. "Anyway" she said. "Is Leo okay?"
Jason nodded "He's just tired" Annabeth looked around and suddenly notice something. Nothing was burnt. Not one thing. Now she was confused. "Wait, how-?" Jason shrugged. "We don't know. After the fire disappeared it was like this."
Annabeth started thinking. She had remembered getting the Hecate cabin to make everything on the ship the ship itself fireproof. How had it caught on fire then? "Jason, isn't the ship supposed to be fireproof?"
Jason thought for a moment before looking worried. "It is fireproof, we tested it. So how did the fire start?" Annabeth looked around suspiciously before speaking. "I don't know, but I will find out"
Annabeth saw something strange. There was a note on the ground. She pointed it out to Jason and they walked over cautiously. It was folded up so they would have to touch it to open it.
It didn't look dangerous. It was just a piece of paper that looked slightly dirty and old. Annabeth picked it up and waited for something to happen. When nothing did she opened it and started to read.
When she had finished reading she looked confused. Jason was curious and worried about what was in the note. "What does it say?" Annabeth handed it over and thought about what was in the note.
Jason began to read it out loud.
"Seven of the Prophecy I hope you know,
of what awaits you, friend or foe,
The Doors of Death will only close,
to someone brave at heart who knows,
No good or evil, black or white,
Someone who isn't afraid to fight,
If it's Wind against Water, or Fire against Death,
Then everyone will die fighting with their last breath,
If Wind, Water, Knowledge and Beauty,
Fire, Death, War and Duty,
Can work together,
Then this fight will only get better,
But beware, remember your strengths,
Because only then can you prevent,
The war history will never know,
Because the gods will never show,
That they aren't as powerful as they believed,
Fight hard and don't be deceived
R.E.D"
