The Next Morning
Percy's POV:

I wake up and trudge over to the fountain in the corner of my cabin and splash water on my face.

'Morning everyone' I say mentally and I feel Instinct and Iota groan as they wake up

'Too early...' Instinct complained

'I agree, let's go back to bed, I was having the most wonderful dream of beating the shit out of Heracles' Iota commented sleepily

'GOOD MORNING!!!' Delphi screamed in greeting causing Instinct, Iota and myself to cringe 'Oh suck it up you nocturnal beings'

"Whatever..." I mumble as I get ready then walk over to my weapon rack to see my collection of weapons on it

I put everything on then walk outside where I see everyone running around getting ready. I raise an eyebrow at the sight. That's when I see Luke run up to me with a frantic face.

"Percy, are you ready to move out? We need to get to the empire state building to start setting up defenses around the city" Luke said and I nodded

I took my Wofrium coin out and throw it onto the ground summoning my motorcycle. I climb on and rev the engine.

"I'll meet you all there alright?" I say and Luke nods as I drive off

I drive out of camp and down the road to the Empire State Building. After an hour of driving, I park the vehicle before turning it back into a coin and I walk into the building where I saw no one at the front desk. I frowned as I made my way over to the desk and saw the key to the 600th floor laying on the desk, picked the key up and pocket it. I then walk around and notice that people are laying on the floor asleep.

'Shit, this looks like the work of Morpheus' Iota said and I cursed

'I wish I knew the Great Prophecy...' I said to Delphi who thought it over

'I guess you are able to hear it now' She said 'it goes

A half-blood of the eldest gods

Shall reach sixteen against all odds

And see the world in endless sleep

The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap

A single choice shall end his days

Olympus to preserve or raze' Once she finished I felt both Instinct and Iota going over it

'So, we are the half blood of the eldest gods, we turn sixteen in a few days' Iota said and I nodded physically as I moved people out of the way

'These people look asleep so that might be the next line' Instinct said

'The hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap is a fun line to think about' I said sarcastically with a yawn

'The only cursed blade that I can think about is Kronos' scythe, that would make us the hero' Iota said and I growled

'He would have a better chance of fighting and beating Chaos than reaping my soul, I just got it back' I snarled and I felt Instinct and Iota agree

That's when I saw green fog cover the ground as Delphi appeared with glowing green eyes.

"Half-blood of the eldest gods

Shall reach sixteen against all odds

And see the world in an endless sleep

The traitor's soul, cursed blade shall reap
