I kinda drew a lot of pictures like this one, chapter 2, 5, but the cover (the one of everyone at camp) I just found online. I'm going to change it because it pretty much has nothing to do with the story.

Andy's POV

        The next morning, at breakfast, I knew what was going to happen. A quest. And I was shivering from excitement, because I didn't know who was going. There was a lot of legacies at camp, and the ghost king? Nico, and no one else. Unless the prophecy meant someone else...     

        "Hey, hello? Earth to Andy, are you there?" I was taken out of my thoughts by Ashley waving a hamburger in my face.

        "I'm here." I scowled at Ashley, who immediately started eating her hamburger. Nico stared at me, and I shivered.

        "Andy, Chiron just announced who's to go on a quest."

        "And...?" A girl about the age of 13 stood up from Cabin 11, unclaimed, and suddenly a pair of black wings appeared behind her. Chiron declared, "Hail, Rebekah Petalouda, Daughter of Thanatos."

Rebekah's POV

        I stood up, interrupting Chiron. I had a feeling that my dad would reveal himself, and he did.

        Thanatos. I might've thought it would be cool to be, but not now. After what had recently happened... My mom's death. Death wasn't cool, wasn't fun, wasn't at all appealing. Chiron stomped his hoof to quiet everyone's chatter.

        "Who'll go onto to the quest to stop the Titans' revenge?" I felt myself standing up, numb, as I realize I'm the child of death, who'll lose my loved one.

        "Rebekah, you are allowed 2 other companions. Who-"

        "Nico, because he's the ghost king, and Andy, he's the legacy of the god of death. All the demigods have to do with death," I immediately replied. Where the Hades did that come from?

        "Why not Ashley? She's also a descendant of Hades!" A Hebe kid yelled.

        "I... I just feel like he's supposed to go."
The Aphrodite Cabin Ooooohed at this. I sighed.
Chiron nodded. "It would be good for you to avoid cold areas."

Andy's POV

        I met with Nico and Rebekah at the entrance.

        "Where are we starting?" Rebekah looked at me with unnatural dark blue eyes.

        "We're going west, into the Underworld, to stop the Titans," Nico answered. Yay. And so we set out to stop a bunch of vengeful titans. Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy.
