"Did I mention to you how much I hate prophecies?" Percy said for the fifth time. Ally groaned and put her palm on her forehead.

"I don't like it either," Thalia replied.

"Do you think I like it?" Apollo asked as Artemis walked toward Ally, who looked like she was trying really hard to not kill anyone.

"You spoke it though," Thalia protested. "And you most likely won't be in any."

"That's not true!" Apollo claimed in. Ally groaned again and Artemis put a calming hand on her shoulder.

Ally smiled back at her. "They are just so annoying!"

"Can't say I don't agree," Artemis snorted. "We could be stuck here the whole day if they don't stop arguing soon."

"Yeah, no," Ally groaned again. "I have other things I need to do."

"What other things?" Percy asked, the three of them stopped arguing for a while.

"Queenly stuff," Ally replied. Percy rolled his eyes.

"That's not really an answer."

Ally was too tired to argue with him. When Ally didn't reply, Percy went back to arguing with Apollo and Thalia about the prophecy, making no progress on understanding it. Ally, getting annoyed, shouted. "Stop!"

When no one listened, instead only argued over her, she shouted again, this time loudly in her commanding tone. "STOP!"

Artemis smirked at the other three and turned toward Ally. "Do you need to do that a lot?"

"You have no idea," Ally deadpanned. But it did work, and that's all that matters. The three arguing god and demigods turned to look at her. "So, we are here to discuss the prophecy. Not fight and argue like some little kids."

"Sorry," the three of them mumbled softly and Artemis smirked when she saw Thalia. She has never seen her apologize to anyone before. Ally just offered a small smile and started talking.

"So, first line. What do we value most?"

"My pen!" Percy shouted the same time Thalia and Apollo shouted. "My bow!"

Ally sighed again. "The prophecy won't be that easy."

"I agree with the bow though," Artemis added unhelpfully. Ally sighed and sat down on the chair closest to her. She was opening her mouth to say something when Percy beated her to it.

"I don't agree with the bow."

"That's because you can't shoot it," Artemis argued. "When you learn how to-"

"Which I never will," Percy added in. Artemis sighed and sat down next to Ally.

"Okay," Ally started again. "How about this. We move on to the second line first."

"Fine by me," Thalia murmured.

"You'll be lured to a coast," Apollo said. "Easy enough. Just don't go to the beach."

Ally looked around, silently asking if any of them have something else to say but none of them has another suggestion.

"Okay, moving on. The information they seek, is within your reach."

"Must be information that we valued most," Ally mused and Apollo nodded along. Thalia nodded as well. Percy shrugged when the three of them looked toward Artemis and him.
