Percy POV
I arrived at camp Half blood after a thirty minute ride. I paid the driver the respectable amount and walked to the hill. I sighed and gave Peleus a pet. I walked to the big house. Campers stared in awe. I guess they told stories about me or something. I knocked on the door and Chiron opened. "Percy?" I smiled weakly. He pulled me into a hug and I gratefully returned it. He pulled me into the house, "How have you been?" I sighed, "New York. But, I came on some not so happy terms." He motioned for me to sit, "Someone I Love has been taken by Loki, Norse god of mischief. And I need to see if I can get a prophecy from Rachel. Where is she?" He raised an eyebrow, "Why do you need a prophecy?" I ran my hands through my hair, "Because it involves a god." He nodded, "Shes up in the cave." I nodded. Why she is still in a cave or why she is in a cave to begin with? I have no idea. I trudged up the hill to our only cave. Some campers were confused to see me but soon clicked. I was stared at the whole time. I even had a few Aphrodite campers ask for my number. I said no thank you I'm gay, and kept on walking. Well I guess I'm bi but whatever. I reached the cave and saw nothing but red. "Hey red." I wrapped my arms around her. I felt my shoulder get wet. "Four years." She whispered. I squeezed her tight and she finally let go. Her eyes were red and puffy. Her lip quivered and she shook slightly. "I'm sorry." I whispered. She pulled me in for another quick then led me back farther into the cave. "This war is different. Not only Greek gods-" I cut her off, "But Norse gods. Yeah I know." She raised an eyebrow at my bitterness. The Norse gods think they can mess with me? They think they can take Peter from me and get away with it? I was punched in arm, "Ow." I pouted and Rachel rolled her eyes. "They took some guy and  Loki the god of mischief, who took him, has sided with Thanos. So this will be one hell of a war." I scowled at Loki's name, "The guy? His name is Peter. And he...." I really didn't know what to call us. We aren't together but we both really like each other. Rachel waited for me to finish, "He is mine." I stated. She blinked, "What?" She looked slightly hurt, "We've gone out a few times and he has helped me more than he knows and now Loki has taken him and tearing him down. Telling him lies." She nodded and her eyes turned green. She spoke but it wasn't her voice,

'The last hero who is feared will come once again

A fallen hero will rise to aid him in the end

The sea will call war against the one who took him

His love will not be right

To protect those he holds tight

Just to see the end of the night'

I groaned. I forgot to try and catch Rachel so she fell with a thud. I grimaced, "Sorry." She glared. "This is literally all about me!" I flailed my arms. I've noticed I've done that a lot lately. "We better go tell Chiron." She shrugged and walked out. Of course she wouldn't be upset, she's not the one and only person on the prophecy. We arrive at the big house and Chiron sighed, "Rachel, call the cabin counselors." She nodded and headed out. He looked at me, "Im right in the center of it. Again." I clenched my fists to restrain myself from hurting Chiron or punching something. Rachel came back a few minutes later with all the cabin counselors. Most all of them were surprised to see me. "Percy?" I heard an all to familiar voice. "Hey Clarisse." The next thing I knew I was on the floor with a bloody nose. Chiron and Rachel were laughing and everyone else looked quite scared. "Good to see you too." She helped me up and then she hugged me. "You left me to train and live with idiots." I chuckled and hugged back. "No one is say anything." She glared at the other counselors and the nodded. I smirked and sat down, "Why did you call us Chiron?" The councilor for Nemesis asked. "There is another prophecy but, I didn't exactly include us. Just those Percy calls on." The Stolls tilted their heads, "What is that supposed to mean?" I sighed, "One, it means I'm the main hero, again, two, it for the mortal world but it includes gods but not ours." Clarisse slapped me upside the head, "English." I scowled, "There are Norse gods. And one of them is calling war against the mortals. And I am part of a hero group for them." The Aphrodite councilor squealed, "The Avengers!" Clarisse glared at the girl. "Yes the Avengers. I'm Red Tide." Clarisse snorted, "Really?" I glared, "I've only been seen like twice. So whatever. But, Thor, the Norse god of thunder has a brother. Loki, god of mischief and illusions and he's taken someone I love and he's called war against earth again." The iris counselor raised an eyebrow, "Again?" I nodded, "Yeah, while we fought Kronos, they fought Loki." They nodded, "And I need some demigods to come with me." The Aphrodite girl squealed and raised her hand, "Can I go!" I smiled, "Sorry, I need experienced fighters. The people we are up against are ruthless." The Apollo counselor asked, "Who are you up against?" I sighed, "Thanos." Chiron's wheelchair squeaked as he stopped abruptly. "What?" I nodded, "He wants something called the infinity stones. We have the soul stone, and there are like five more." Clarisse puffed out her chest, "I'll go." I smirked, "Like I would have anybody else go." She glared. "I do need one more." No one was too excited and everyone besides the Stolls and Clarisse were pretty new. The child of Nemesis stepped up, "I'll go. I'm not as experienced as Clarisse but I can fight." Clarisse nodded, "He's good."
