RAILI

We were back at camp and everything seemed normal, no monster trying to eat the satyr or destroy the whole camp. I felt goose bumps everywhere, but not only because of the new prophecy, but because i sat awkwardly with Nico on the grass.

Nothing was the same, and I didnt know why. Yes, he had saved my life, but still...

"I cant believe  you let her do that to you," i said,

"Well its not my fault she can charmspeak!" he protested.

"Well if you knew she could charmspeak, why did you listen!?"

He sighed, clearly not wanting this conversation, but i wasnt backing down either. I just stared at him until he answered.

"Alright, alright! You win! Im sorry! I shouldnt have listened to her, okay?"

"Okay,"

He gave me a face and shook his head.

"Youre impossible, you know that?"

"Yeah,"

We both laughed and i leaned on his shoulder. Yup, this is how i liked getting back together. No flowers, no cards, just a simple 'im sorry'.

···

I sat in the middle of Marielle and Cheska on the long wooden table with the others including Katherine and Chiron. We all sat there awkwardly as we waited for Chiron to start the conversation.

"Do you know why i called you... all of you?" he asked, leaning forward from his wheelchair.

"Im guessing its about the prophecy?" Cheska asked.

"Yes, the new prophecy. In my whole entire life, i have never not known a prophecy that will soon begin. The gods and goddesses of Olympus have kept their secret well."

"So," Marielle spoke up, "What is the prophecy?"

There was a moment of silence, then suddenly Janelle spoke up.

"We'll have to discuss that later, for now, we- Chiron and I worry that Danika might be too powerful. Getting stronger by the day. Soon there will come a day when she cant control herself, and destroy the whole camp."

Janelle leaned back from her chair and looked at Danika who just sat there, listening to us, but her eyes on her always moving hands.

"So, youre saying that the new mistress --whoever she is-- is using Danika as her minion or something?" Tia chimed in,

"Yes, child." Chiron answered.

"Hades said she was planned, to fight evil. But if they knew the new mistress meant to do evil, why did the gods and goddesses allow a new child of the big three?" Marielle asked,

"That is because the mistress you are preferring to had a different plan. Her plan was to destroy both camps --both greek and roman-- in a way i do not know. However, Poseidon knew of this plan, and had an idea to have another child to battle her. He wanted to be known for being the father of the child who would destroy all evil..." Chiron went,

"But my dad's plan backfired, and the mistress thought of a new plan. To make the one who would have been the hero, into the villian. The enemy. And thats how the prophecy really  started." Danika finished, now looking at everyone.

"We'll have to do this prophecy step by step, and first off is to help Danika control this power. Maybe use it against the new mistress," Tia suggested.

Everyone agreed with the plan, and Chiron approved.

"Alright. We'll take this step by step. No one at camp other than you children will know about this unless Danika chooses otherwise." he said, "I suggest you tell your brother, Danika, and those who have experiences with these types of quests..."

"The seven?" Margaret asked, but soon regretted it.

Chiron looked at her, but instead of frowning, he grinned.

"Yes, perhaps. Maybe the seven..."
