DANIKA

I sat quietly as i waited for Percy's reply about the whole prophecy. Instead, i just got a confused and at the same time shocked look. He shook his head.

"Sis, youre too young. I cant let you go on this quest, its too dangerous."

"It'll be fine, Percy. Trust me on this," i said, managing a smile.

"B-but you might get hurt, or worse, killed!" he said worridly.

"Percy," i said, "just trust me. I'll be fine, i promise..."

He sighed, clearly he knew i wasnt changing my mind about this. He looked at me and gave me a smile, not forced. He stood up from my bedside and stretched out his hand.

"Come on, there's someone i want you to meet."

"Who?" i asked.

"You'll see..."

I grabbed his hand and let him pull me up. I followed him outside the cabin and found a small group of people surrounding a very tall guy. They seemed to be welcoming him back home. Outside of the small crowd was a hellhound, rolling on the grass playfully nearby.

Percy and I walked up to them and they all gave way and i saw for the first time my other half brother... who was a Cyclops.

"Tyson," Percy called, smiling.

When the big guy saw him, he ran towards him and hugged him really tight.

"Brother! Oh, i've missed you!" Tyson said.

He let go of him and looked at me, then whispered loudly to Percy.

"Who is she?"

Percy grinned, and i had the feeling it was because i was going to get crushed next.

"Brother, this is our little sister... Danika."

Before i could reply or even brace myself, Tyson slammed into me, giving me a bone crushing hug.

"Sister!" he said,

"Uhm, brother." i said, out of breath.

RAILI

Nico and I walked through the strawberry fields, holding hands with him. We laughed and talked about our childhood, the brighter side of course. It was the first time i got to know him better. Things i didnt really know about him.

While we walked, i felt like all of this had already happened. Not in real life, but like a though, imagination, a dream...

That was the first time i realized i could see the future, like a true Apollo kid. And that my dream was actually a vision of this part of my life. I would have to tell Danika later on, it would surely help on the quest.

But right now, i just enjoyed the smell of strawberries in the air with Nico. We soon stopped and he looked at me.

"Happy Valentines,"

I smiled and replied,

"Happy Valentines..."

ADDONIA

I leaned on my precious home as i hummed a happy tune softly. I watched as the young nymphs laughed and played with the satyrs. I was  too old for those stuff, so i always spent my time enjoying the peace around me.

I thought of Danika, how much she had grown since her very first visits here at Camp Half-Blood.

***

I sat on the branches of my tree as i watched the satyrs play. I enjoyed the quiet afternoon, the rays of the sun shined brightly, but the cool breeze and the shade of the trees made it hard to even feel the heat of the sun.

I felt my eyes droop as i drifted off to sleep. My sleep only lasted for a few secones though, because i soon heard laughing and splashing of water. I opened my eyes to see a satyr and a little girl the age of 8 splashing in the pond.

Leaning forward, i saw that the little girl was actually controlling the water. The satyr who i remembered was Grover stood near her, smiling.

The girl had curly reddish brown hair with intense green eyes that stared at you with such cruriosity and innocence, but also with seriousness that can suprise you.

She continued to spin her finger in circle which caused the water to make tiny whirlpools. She laughed playfully and continued to enjoy herself, having no care in the world.

"Grover, why dont you try it?" the little girl asked,

"Thats alright Danika, just have fun." Grover replied.

Danika nodded and continued to make small whirlpools in the pond. Suddenly, i heard crackling of leaves coming closer. Coming out of the trees was another red haired girl much older than Danika but with the same intense green eyes. She wore a hood and quickly let it fall of her head.

She looked at Grover and then at the little girl and smiled.

"Who is she? A younger demigod?" she asked, kneeling at Danika's side.

"Nice to see you too, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Her names Danika, and yes, she is a demigod." Grover replied.

"Daughter of who?"

"Im pretty sure its Poseidon, but that couldnt be, the gods made an oath."

Rachel kept her eyes on Danika, looking at how she made small whirlpools with just the spinning of her fingers.

"They all broke that oath, Grover. Besides, im sure they had a good reason of doing so-"

Suddenly, Rachel froze, and a green light reflected from the water. Green smoke soon covered the ground, and Rachel got up and stiffened. Suprised by all this, the little girl looked curiously at Rachel.

"Whats happened to her, Grover?"

But before Grover could answer, Rachel looked straight at Danika and pointed at her.

"You shall grow everyday with glowing eyes of red. Daughter of Poseidon, you shall live with more dread. Revenge be unleashed by a new mistress. Using a new pawn with a rematch of chess."

***

I snapped back to reality to see a familiar face infront of me. I smiled at her and put my hand on her cheek.

"Rachel! You've grown!"

Rachel smiled and sat next to me. I waited before starting the conversation.

"She was finally claimed, you know."

"Who? Danika?" Rachel asked,

"Yes," i answered, "along with 6 other demigods."

"All Poseidon's?"

"Heaven's no," i said, laughing.

"Yeah, thats what i thought too."

Suddenly, Rachel's smile faded and she grew more serious.

"The prophecy started, didnt it?" she asked.

"Earlier than you expected..."

The End.
