Uncle Leo fell from his chair, Aunt Hazel summoned a huge thing of gold, Uncle Frank turned into an Iguana, while Instead of Uncle Will comforting Uncle Nico, it was Uncle Nico comforting him.
The rest of us gasped with surprise like a bunch of 1st graders in a class after getting news of their teacher getting sick. While Mom and Dad sat quiet and still, with Dionysus raising an eyebrow.
Uncle Leo sat up and saw Frank as an iguana.
"That's exactly how you get out of sticky situations, Frank. You turn into an iguana."
Giggles sounded here and there until Mr D slammed his fist on the table and everyone quieted down.
"If what you say is true, then this situation is worse than we have previously thought."
"It's true" dad said. "It only must've taken so long for this to happen because he was weakened by Bob, the Titan Iapetus, and Damasen, the Giant born to oppose Ares"
Mom picked up the notepad. "Well this explains a lot more in depth of the prophecy though."
Everyone was silent while she studied the words until Dad nudged her in which she looked up and noticed everyone waiting for her to read it.
She looked back down and read the second part of the prophecy.
"A force unleashed and filled with rage
Heroes forced to seek a devious sage
The heroes of Olympus will rise again
Through the steps of the legacy's next Gen
The owl, the trident, gems and war
With sun and death and fiery galore
Mortal eyes with the gift of sight
To guide you through the house of night
A giants trust, one must earn
An army of monsters, another must turn
An unbreakable blade forged from death
Fused together with Peace, a painful breath
The ultimate weapon created from bond
Destined to slay hell's beyond
The Crossroads goddess met in a haze
A choice to preserve the world or see it raze"
She put down the notepad, her hands shaking. Dad took them in his and squeezed them to help make her feel better.
"I think I understand most of it."
We all turned to Sammy, who had his hands on his hips.
Sammy did look a lot like his father, only, he was more neat and tidy and insisted on keeping his clothes clean even though he loved to work with machines and can basically burst into flames at any moment.
His hair was light brown, curly and wild, yet kept in good condition and it didn't bother him because his hair was pulled away in a simple men's hair band even though his hair over flowed on top of it. He had a newly acquired belt which is probably one modeled after Uncle Leo's with the same abilities. He had a light brown complexion, like a dark tan. His eyes were dark, and intelligent, yet he looked as though he was cooking up something insane in his head. The only thing that separates him from his father, is he was very keen on his outfits. He always had to have them flame retardant incase he catches on fire, and he seems to really like the fashion of the 1940s: snappy suits, trench coats, suspenders, the whole shebang (though none of us know why) and he insists on looking his best. It's only in battle that he really doesn't care but for the most part, he kind of reminds me of this dwarf I met that's friends with my mom's cousin, Magnus. His name is Blitzen. If Sammy ever met him, they would talk about clothes until the end of time.
"The nine full phase" he said. "I believe that's talking about the moon's phases."
If that's true," Aunt Calypso said. "That means you only have three and a half months starting right now."
Sammy pointed at his mother and said "On the nose" bringing his finger to touch his nose. "And the description. The owl, the trident, gems and war, with sun and death, and fiery galore. I believe it's talking about our family, and to back that up, it's the Heroes of Olympus's next Gen. It's definitely talking about us."
"Really, Sammy?" Marie Said
"We hadn't noticed!" Finished Emily
"Well, we do know one thing for sure." Said Bianca "We are going to Tartarus and because of that, we need the only three people who are familiar with it to train and prepare us for what we're up against."
We all looked at Mom and Dad, as well as Uncle Nico. They all looked at each other and seemed to have come to an agreement. When they all turned their attention to us, they said to brace ourselves.
On that happy note, we all filed out of the big house and made our way to our respective cabins.
