Prophecy:
The necklace is the thing you seek,
That's guarded by the mortals weak,
Too keep our current king in power,
You must survive the final hour,
5 Demigods must embark on this quest,
Or the rebellion will never rest.
The demigod daughter of the god of war,
Will break one of the final laws,
And the pit is where you must go,
Or you'll be caught by the monster below.
The son of Death alone knows the way,
And you'll find enemies in the day,
In which a leader will be killed,
And a field will run red, with blood been spilled.

20 minutes later, Nico came back into the throne room, and announced that the Camps have been told about the prophecy, and that most of the skilled fighters would be up in the throne room shortly.
I nodded, then asked if I could have a word with him in private.
He nodded and I led us to the garden outside the throne room.
"Nico, I'm sorry for snapping at you. It's just- I was kinda annoyed that you didn't tell me."
He looked sheepish.
"Sorry Percy. It's just that I was scared. I didn't know how you would take it."
"Nico, there's one thing you should know about me. I can take anything. You of all people should know that."
He nodded.
"I know that, but...."
I cut him off.
"Yeah, whatever, it's fine. But bring up the campers. They knew that might be in the prophecy."
He mock saluted at me.
"On it boss!"
"I get enough of that from Blackjack."
He laughed, then shadow traveled away.
--------------------------------Time skip from Chronos---------------------
Nico walked into the throne room, around 20 kids behind him, who bowed as they entered.
"Rise, Demigods."
They rose from the floor.
"Why have we been summoned here, Lord Perseus?"
It was Jason Grace who had been speaking. I groaned.
"My name is Percy. Lord Percy. Or Lord Persassy. That works as well. And in answer to your question, we have received a prophecy."
This was met by grumbles and murmurs.
"Silence!" Reyna yelled at the crowd.
They shut up immediately. I loved her charmspeak.
She looked at me to continue.
"Zach. Son of Thanatos? Come here."
He walked forward, ahead of the group, then he bowed.
"You are the son of Thanatos, right?"
He looked depressed and pointed a hand at his throat.
"You can't speak?"
He nodded, looking solemn, then pointed at Nico.
I looked at Nico questionably.
"I can hear him. In my head. He said that yes, he is the son of Thanatos."
"And do you know the way through the pit?"
Zach cringed, then nodded.
"He went through... stuff in the pit. Horrors that we have never seen before."
I must've looked confused, because Nico said:
"He would prefer not to say what that... stuff is."
I nodded, accepting the fact.
"The prophecy also says the demigod daughter of the gods of war. Does this mean Clarisse? Or do we send another demigod daughter of Ares/Mars down there?"
"Or it could mean me." Reyna said.
I looked at Reyna, the realisation setting down on me.
"No. You are not going. We can't risk you being captured."
"Are you suggesting that I can't do my part to keep you in power?"
"Of course not Reyna, but you are too powerful to lose. You're better up here, defending Olympus."
She sighed and step at back in her chair.
"If you say so."
"Oh, I say so."
Nico interrupted our argument.
"Back to the matter at hand."
It took a while, but in the end, we sent down
•Joanne Maynard, daughter of Apollo,
•Zach Soffros, as the prophecy said,
•Isabella Lewis, daughter of Nemesis,
•Jonathan Ray, son of Victoria,
•Travis Stoll, son of Hermes.
Nico wasn't very happy about Will going down, which was first suggested, so we sent down Joanne instead.

Anyway, short chapters I know, but that's the best I could do. I don't have much time on my hand anymore.
So, I have a question.
Should I start doing Q and A's at the end of each chapter?
Comment on whether I should or not.
Yes
No
Whichever line has the most comments on, I will go with that.
Criticism is appreciated as long as it's positive!!!
Remember to vote and comment!! I will reply this a bunch of you guys!
Peace, love, goodbye.
