Time pasted pretty slowly while I sat in bed. Every moment of my life has been a life, Well damn! I guess that I shouldn't believe anything, oh maybe this is a dream! I pinched my skin and yelped.
"I guess this isn't a dream..." I said sadly. Hazel came in my room sitting on the bed.
"Are you okay sis?" She said comforting. I stayed silent.
"It's going to be a lot to take in, I know it was hard for Nico and I when we came back, but you now know. That's good."
"How is knowing that I'm from another time period a good thing." I said sarcastically.
"It might help with stopping the curse. Speaking of it, we gotta meet up with the others the mission starts tomorrow." She helped me out of bed and walked hugging me while we walked to a room. The room was huge and was painted white with gold detailing. The group of demigods from before stood looking at me.
"So this is the third child of Hades, nice to met ya kid." Jason said. Some of the others looked skeptically at me, well I couldn't blame them. A random child comes in saying to be the third child of one of the big three.
"Ya...um, hi." I said awkwardly. These teens towered over my 5 foot 2 stature. Mother Hebe stepped to the front of the group.
"Good everyone is here, now the mission may commence." She said bubbly. "This prophecy will be hard to stop but if you all work together the world won't have to end. So I knew I've heard this prophecy before and I was right, it was first told long ago and had more information. The third end to the world will chain them to rocks and darkness shall flow. Only if the three deaths die will the world finally grow." She read from a scroll. Everyone looked at Nico, Hazel, and I.
"The fire amulet, the fruit of gold, and the poison blood shall give them time but death will arrive to one group to another." We all stood confused. That all sounded like gibberish.
"Um Hebe, what does that even mean?" Piper asked.
"I'm not sure actually, but I'm guessing that the fire amulet must have something to do with Hephaestus." Leo's eyes lit up, literally!
"Leo calm down, let me finish." Mother Hebe told. "The fruit of gold I would guess be in Hera's garden, and the poison blood...well I don't know about that." I looked to the ground thinking, poison blood I've heard of it before. Then it hit me!
"The hydra!" I yelled out.
"What do you mean?" Percy asked.
"The hydra has poison blood, that's what we need."
"Okay were going to need a team to find all 3 things then." Mother Hebe said.
"How about the three of us go." Nico pointed to Hazel and I.
"No, you three can't be together at this moment. You are targets for monsters, but since the prohecy is about you three one of you must go." I raised my hand.
"I'll go-" Nico cut me off.
"No, this is a mission for too dangerous for you. I'm not going to let you get hurt."
"I'm no child Nico, I'm going to go on this mission." I argued.
"No you are not, I'm not going to let you!" He yelled.
"Nico, I am going on this mission and that's final!" I stomped out of the room and went to get my stuff packed. I was going on this mission and I don't care. Nico came bursting into my room.
"You are not going."
"Yes I am!" I yelled
"I'm not going to lose another sister!"
"Okay, you barely know me. How can I be your sister even though we don't know each other. Nico just because we have the same dad doesn't mean we're siblings. If you cared you'd let me go." I stood stone faced. He went quiet while I packed my things. All of a sudden he started crying.
"Nico are you okay?" I turned around and he had his head in his hands.
"I couldn't protect Bianca, and now she's gone. Crystal please, please stay. I don't want to loss you." He cried.
"Nico, I'm not someone who needs to be protected and you should know that. I'm a daughter of Hades. I think I can survive." I walked over and picked up his head.
"You're my baby sister." He gripped me in a hug.
"No Nico, I'm your new sister that isn't a baby to protect. You can trust me I won't get hurt on this mission. How about you choose who goes on the mission with me, Okay?" He nodded. I smiled and went back to packing.
"Percy and Jason. I trust them to protect you." He said.
"I saw those to trying to stick fries in their mouths and pretend to be walruses." I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Yes I know they're stupid but they're strong."
"Fine they'll come on the mission with me." I said reluctantly. He smiled.
"Now if something does happen to you, just know that I will kill them." I giggled.
"I promise Nico nothing will happen to me. Now go tell them to get ready." He nodded and walked out the room.
—————————————————————————————
I sat by the door waiting to get this mission started. I kept looking back at my things to make sure I had everything; Extra clothes, shoes, water, food, etc.
"Hey kid you ready to go?" I looked up to see Percy and Jason packed and ready. I stood up and nodded.
"Where are we going first?" I asked.
"I don't know you're the leader." Percy said with a smile. I started panicking internally. I'm the leader!? No no no no!
"No you guys are more experienced."
"This prophecy is about you, so you're the leader. Come on choose a place to go?" They asked.
"Uh, um, how about we go to to find the amulet. Um Hephaestus's forge?" I said awkwardly. They looked at each other and back at me. I felt so awkward in this situation, these guys had to have been 16 or 17 years making sure a child no older than 12 was the leader of a mission.
"Let's go then." We opened the door and walked out. Here I go my mission to save the world and my family.
I can't fail.
