Demigods

Nick

I woke up early that morning and walked out of camp to the roman camp. It didnt take that long.. Only two hours. When I had reached the oracle of Delphi also known as Emily,she greeted me... by freaking me out with weird oracles about my doom. Sometimes I worry about her. Otherwise she is really nice.

"Give me anything." I stated.

I needed to know what was going on. Everyday in my cabin weird flashes of lightning would haunt me and the cabin seemed to spin. It started when Ria arrived at camp.

She closed her eyes and murmured.

" at the crescent moon 3 demigods

Will rise at break of day

And for the ocean, air, and earth

The power, they shall save"

I wrote it down on my wrist in black ink and pulled my sleeve up to let it dry.

Emily opened her eyes and a flash of green stares at me, then it faded. Everything she wore was white and it reflected her face expression, blank. As if she was staring at nothingness.

I left her there at the 12th legion and hiked back to camp knowing that I had to be there soon or I would be caught. I went out again being reasonable enough to summon a car this time( why did I not think of that before??)

I breathed in the smell of Thalia's pine tree and wished she were here. It got lonely in the Zeus cabin not being able to talk to anyone.

My mind clicked into the memory of the oracle. What did she mean we had to save the powers of land, water and air?? Why couldn't the gods? why us?

The day passed by.. Defense, offense, canoeing, lunch, break, study/train, and then dinner.

I circled the campfire and dropped in some chicken and I stood there for a second. Please don't leave me alone. I pleaded. Why are you such a hermit? Send me someone...father. I said it under my breath in anger. But at the same time I was upset.

I sat alone at the table, a typical meal. I barely touched my food and poked the carrots on my plate with disgust. I chucked it in the forest.

I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Ria asked

"Yeah. Just leave me alone" I said it with anger, curling my hands into fists. I looked behind me and saw that Ria's expression looked hurt and she turned around, her head down.

My conscious scolded me and I felt bad. I lost my appetite. Even for s'mores, and I walked to my cabin.
