Annabeth

"Eight shall go south, and nine will return.

They shall see everything they hold dear burn."I move my eyes closer to try and read the writing

"One is needed for two,

A sacrifice is required to go through.

A moonlit string draws the final breath,

A damaged souls fate of never ending death.

Thalia has really bad handwriting." I conclude, reciting the prophecy to Chiron.

"Hey! I think my handwriting is amazing for someone you ran from home at 12 and got turned into a tree for most of my life. I didn't get the schooling you did." Thalia attempts to redeem herself but it doesn't work. I look down at the piece of paper.

"I don't get how your s's look like o's, or is it an a?" Thalia snatches the piece of paper from my hands.

"They do not!" I start laughing. "They look completely different!"

"Sure they do." I role my eyes.

"Annabeth, Thalia, we have more important things to discuss."

"Sorry, Chiron." We say at the same time. We are all gathered around the ping pong table for another counsellors meeting, but this time Aelin and her group are there.

"This prophecy seems darker than I would hope for, but we must continue with the quest for the better of the camp." Chiron coughs, "It is clear that there are eight people going on this quest, and they are to venture south. We need to decide which eight are going. Aelin, being the leader of this quest will chose and I will deem if her chose is appropriate." I turn to look at Aelin.

"Umm...I will take Lysandra, Aedion, Manon, Dorian, and arr...Annabeth, Percy and finally Thalia." I new she would pick us.

Chiron thinks for a moment. "Yes, okay that sounds fine. Pack your things you will leave tomorrow."

"Where exactly are we going?" Aelin asks.

"Miami. Mr D says there are multiple nature spirits going crazy there, I feel that the golden fleece has something to do with that. Now get to sleep everyone, it is eleven pm and you eight especially, need a good nights rest. Meet here in the morning after breakfast, until then goodbye." I get up and leave the Ping pong table.

The walk to the Athena cabin is short and I am in bed dreaming of Tartarus and attempting to not scream my head off in no time.

Aelin

Because Mala is a Sun Goddess, I was told to sleep in the Apollo cabin. I slept well, only waking once because one of the others talked in there sleep. I packed my bag, which only had clothes in it, and headed out. I know I should be nervous. Big dark prophecy and all that, but me and death have been friends for many years, and to be honest, he doesn't scare me any more than Fleetfoot. 

Chiron announced our leave at breakfast, and Clarisse announced the new protection rooster. Just like Chiron said, we met up at the Big House to leave for the quest.

"Before you go I would like to give you some things, to help with your journey." Chiron says. He passes a box to each of us. I open mine up to see a bracelet with a silver band and silver birds with sapphire blue tipped wings and eyes dangling around. Pretty, but ain't gonna help much in a fight.

Dorian and Aedion got a gold ring, Lysandra a necklace, and Manon an anklet.

"These are pretty and all, but aren't very useful." Manon says.

"But they are." Chiron says. "Show them." Annabeth walks up to be and inspects the bracelet before pressing on one of the birds. The bracelet transformed into two short hunting knife like swords. with silver handles laced with sapphire blue on it.

"It's beautiful," I am speechless, the delicacy on the swords are amazing. "Thank you." I notice the others do the same thing, but with different weapons.

"Aelin, yours is slightly different." Chiron says, than trots over to me. He presses a different bird, and a single, slightly broader, longer sword, appears in his hand. "For different situations, requires different needs." I thank him again and put the Bracelet on my left wrist. The others have put on there jewellery as well.

I smile to my friends and lead them out of the camp to the journey that awaits us.

"They are leaving, sir." My second in command says to me. I smirk.

"It's about time."
