SON OF HEARTH - The Great Prophecy

Chapter 9

Percy POV:

I learned a very important lesson riding on top of Blackjack, while following the Sun Chariot. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT let Thalia drive. Like ever, the entire time I followed I watched as the bus dipped, swerved, made sharp turns and at one point, I swear a front flip.

However half way through the ride I felt bad for the Hunter's so I used my power of the air to steady the bus and make it more smooth. I only did it slightly though, so It wouldn't draw suspicion. When the bus finally landed after a sudden nose dive I laughed shamelessly as I saw everyone but Apollo look like they were about to throw up.

Zoe gave me a glare that made me shut up immediately, to which she let out a small laugh as did Artemis, I grinned sheepishly before getting off Blackjack and sending him to his palace in Atlantis.

Once that was done I took a look at the fabled Camp Half-Blood. It was shocking to say the least I mean. There were only twelve cabins representing the Olympians, but there were no signs of any other cabins for any of the minor gods.

I was about to voice my opinion, but before I could the campers had showed up, including the centaur Chiron. It wasn't until Artemis had talked to Chiron and sent her hunter's off that he noticed me.

He gave me a kindhearted smile before saying

"Who might you be lad? I thought there were two children and that they were around eleven. You seem to be fourteen"

"I am Perseus sir, I was helping my uncle retrieve his children."

Chiron gained a look of curiosity before asking "Who is your uncle?"

"Lord Hades"

Chiron then gave me a small pitiful smile before saying "Then you are a contestant for the Great Prophecy Perseus. If you don't mind me asking though, who is your godly parent?"

I couldn't even open my mouth to give an answer before gasps escaped everyone's mouth besides the gods, I didn't even know what was going on until everyone bowed followed by Chiron who stated

"All hail Perseus, Son of Hestia. Goddess of the Hearth, and Family. Eldest child of Kronos and Rhea."

It took me a second to realize what was going but when I did I looked up, just in time to see a hologram of a hearth fade away.

I whispered a quick thank you to mom, then looking around noticing everyone was still bowing. It caused me to get red in the face and stand there awkwardly before Artemis saved me telling them to rise which caused me to give her a grateful smile.

She gave a sly smirk before starting to talk with her brother again.

Chiron seemed to catch the action but didn't say anything instead he turned to me asking

"I am sorry Perseus but we do not have a cabin for your mother so in the meantime you may stay in the Hermes cabin."

Artemis came in the conversation before I could tell Chiron what was going on

"That is unnecessary Chiron Perseus will be accompanying me on my hunt, as a matter of fact we need to leave now. Goodbye Chiron."

She then grabbed my shoulder flashing me away. The last thing I heard was that obnoxious son of Zeus screaming "No Fair"

-Line Break

We appeared in a forest that in my opinion looked like any other forest. But I figured I shouldn't mention that to the goddess of the hunt beside me. Instead I tried to figure out where we were by feeling for the sea. Quickly realizing that we were a long way away from the sea.
