I Am Alone: A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

13 | Prophecies and Creepy Ladies

Nico POV~

It had to be around eleven when I heard the voice. It was soothing, like a mother telling their child everything would be okay. I was so confused, no one should be able to get into the forests, without our permission. I called onto the shadows, commanding them to crowd around, hopefully hiding me from the intruder.

I crept outside,invisible to the naked eye. Cautiously, I did a quick look around the forest. I thought no one was here, until the voice was right behind me.

" Akakios, lead your siblings to me. Then all this make sense," The voice told me, "Please, return home to your mother," A woman shimmered into view. She was stunning, beautiful eyes and flowy hair. She reached out to hug me, her misty arms getting closer. And as soon as they made contact, I was out like a light.

While unconscious, images flew through his head. Percy becoming Achilles, Thalia becoming Arachne, Lyddia becoming Nausicaä, Skye becoming Zoe Nightshade. I then watched myself morph into Perseus, no not our Perseus the original. What's going on? The woman's face appeared in front of me again, looking more solid then she had before.

" Akakious now do you see? Now do you remember? Or must I show you more?" The woman asked me. Remember what? What must I see?

Another image popped into my mind, and it showed Rachel Dare the Oracle. She opened her mouth and green smoke poured out. Her eyes become disoriented and she spoke in an ancient tone,

" You shall return to the place you called home,

While one remains inside a dome, 

The King of Darkness shall show the trail,

Where others had all failed,

One's choice will decide the fate,

Whether you all can stand the weight,"

Rachel's face slowly disappeared and was met with the face of the women, again. " I can show you no more, my young hero. For what happens next, is in your hands," With that she too disappeared, leaving Nico more confused than ever before.

Percy did a spit take. " Another prophecy?" He said, his eyes wide. I had just told them of what I had dreamed of. Who were these five children? They certainly couldn't be us could it? I looked at the five people gathered around the fire, when I saw something strange. " Thalia, what happened to your hair?"

Everyone swiveled their heads to look at Thalia, and her new hair style. Her usual spiky black hair, was suddenly longer and wavy. Thalia blushed and tried to hide her hair. Key word: tried. 

" That lady you were talking about, well she visited me too. She told me how it would have been nice of me to visit her rather than turn into Arachne, whatever that means. Then when I looked at my hair noticed it was longer and wavy. I have no idea how this happen though. When I tried to cut it and return it to its original state, it simply grew right back! Now I'm stuck with this hairdo, making me look like I'm an Aphrodite girl," Thalia grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest. 

We all laughed at Thalia's annoyance. It really was amusing. Quicker than I had liked, the atmoshpere once again turned serious. We had a prophecy to figure out, and by the sounds of it, it didn't sound to happy.

Who was this King of Darkness and where was this place where others had failed? One inside a dome? What does that mean? So many questions buzzed in my head that I thought I may just explode.
