Heroes of Olympus: Next Gen

Luke part I

When we all were in the room, all of our parents were seated around the pinochle table which meant things really were serious.

"There's been a secret that we have kept from all the campers. Especially all of you." Dad said

"We wanted to believe it wouldn't happen for at least a hundred years." Mom added

"But of course being us, it would happen to our kids." Uncle Nico said with Uncle Will nodding his head in reply while keeping his arms around our Uncle of Death to make sure he stays calm.

"Here's the thing." Uncle Leo chimed in. "The grove of Dodona doesn't act like that unless events are occurring and things are stirring."
He must've noticed that he made a rhyme and made a smile until Aunt Calypso smacked the back of his head in which then his smile faded while rubbing his head, giving her the stink eye.

Uncle Frank and Aunt Hazel stepped in.

"There was a great Prophecy uttered by Rachel about 3 months ago." Uncle Frank said

"But we felt as though it was incomplete." Aunt Hazel added. "So when the Grove of Dodona had led Bianca astray, she completed it."

I turned to look at Bianca. In all honesty, I think Apollo took a lot of time and effort to sculpt her to have both her dads features and quirks. Bianca has dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, with a simple side braid. She wore a typical olive green, long sleeve, fitted shirt, with a black belt, completed with dark skinny jeans and her usual black combat boots. She didn't wear either camps shirt because most of the time, she's traveling with her dad, Nico. She has a silver ring she kept twisting that had a skull with sun rays making a crown over it. I'm guessing that was her blade.

"I'm not following." Bianca said. "How did I complete the prophecy?"

"When I found you on the ground, I shook you awake and you started uttering words that sounded very much like a prophecy. There was a lot, but I managed to write them down in my notepad because i didn't want to take any chances." Said Rachel

She handed the notepad to mom who looked it over and sighed. "It's time"

Every one of our parents didn't protest as Rachel took out her necklace and took off a piece of paper that was rolled up in the necklace.

Rachel then proceeded to read it to us.

"Hell awoken but never slain
The foe's bare arms failed to contain
Unbreakable blade of souls, bronze, and gold
Fated to slay a primordial foe
A fall that takes nine days to reach
A rise to prevent before the 9th full phase complete"

Everyone suddenly had looks of dread with our parents turning ghost white.

"You know what it's talking about" I said "What did you not tell everyone?"

Our parents looked at eachother and seemed to come to an agreement.

"Do you all remember when we escaped from Tartarus years ago? During the rise of Gaia?" Dad asked

All of our parents nodded their heads

"There was one thing we didn't tell anyone. We encountered something or rather someone, while were were down there. We only managed to get out with the help of a titan and a giant." Mom said

Mr. D suddenly became very interested and sat up, eyeing our parents. "Who exactly, did you see?"

Both are parents started to sweat, but they eventually said the name.

"Tartarus."
