Just when Percy thought that his day could never become worse, the Olympian gods jinxed it. They flashed into camp wearing serious expressions on their faces.
"Perseus Jackson! Olympus requires your service," Zeus thundered although Percy thought that he heard Zeus mutter an almost inaudible, "again".
"Kronos and Gaia have risen again," cue the groans " and the doors of death have been opened, " cue more groaning "and we have our next great prophecy."
Apollo nodded and began to recite:
"The seven saviours with three from the hunt,
will go on a quest and west they will run.
The sea, the bolt or the ever undead
the world will live or be dead
Dead companions they may have,
but some may not return alive." Apollo finished dramatically.
"So we have figured out that the seven and three from the hunt will go. Artemis?"
Artemis teleported her hunt to the meeting room.
"Thalia!" Jason, Annabeth and I said in synchrony. We exchanged greetings and Artemis started to pick the members from the hunt. "Thalia, Phoebe and Angel will go." The mentioned three joined us and we started to get to know each other better. Then, it hit me. "Lord Zeus, it says that we can have dead companions."
"Indeed you may," Zeus replied, "who would you like to choose?"
"We-" I was interrupted by Hades "I will not let that upstart Jackson raise the dead!"
"Silence!" Zeus commanded.
"Well, I would like to choose Beckendorf, Silena, Luke, Castor, Ethan, Michael, Bianca and Zoe." I finished.
"Well that seems fine." Zeus replied and looked at Hades. Grumbling, Hades raised his hand and those mentioned rose from the ground and solidified. "By the way, Hephaestus has made you the Argo III."
Hesphastus teleported the Argo and the majestic ship appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh my gosh! Thanks dad!" Leo enthusiastically jumped up and down in his eagerness to board the ship.
Smirking, we said goodbye and boarded the ship.
"Oh gods this ship is amazing oh gosh thanks dad this is amazing and better than the Argo II!" Leo said that all in one breath. Just then, we realised that those previously dead had not boarded yet.
"Guys, how do we move?" Beckendorf asked us.
I sighed. It was going to take a long time to explain.
