Once Upon A Time A Percy Jackson AU

Chapter Five: A Safe Place

To say that Percy was surprised would be an understatement.

Given that Rachel just threw up a prophecy, and he had a new friend, AND the part where Percy could possibly DIE. So yeah, he was reallly surprised.

Will rushed forward to catch Rachel as Chiron galloped to the campers, probably-no-obviously seeing the green fog-stuff. Almost immediately, thousands of questions arose.

"What was that?"

"Chiron, was that a prophecy?"

"A new one?"

"Could it be the next great prophecy?"

"I'm hungry,"

"Why are we all up at 2:00 Am?"

"Actually, it's 6:00."

"I was out for that long? Jeez, I'm disappointed."

"Clovis! Wake up!"

"Guys, Dakota's drunk again."

Chiron stomped his hoof. "Silence!" He bellowed. Piper looked confused, her expression practically asking "Does this happen often?"

The prophecy, nada, the questions, yesaree.

"Everyone, return to your daily activities! Or sleep! This will all be explained tonight!" Chiron announced. Just as Percy turned to leave, he heard Chiron call his name. "Percy! He called "Do you remember the second line in the prophecy?"

Percy nodded "Ye, 'The call of war no longer concealed." Chiron frowned, "Rachel is correct, the kingdom's planning to launch a full scale attack in Dryad's Grove on November First." "What do you propose we do?" Percy asked.

"We should go next week, you along with three others. Stay there until a scouting party comes, perhaps spilling information that could be crucial to us." Chiron answered. "Is that all, or did you just want an excuse to talk to me?" Percy questioned. "Yes, but could you also call Piper, the new camper? I believe that she could also have some information for us."

"Sure," Percy said.

After yeeting himself, out of where he was, Percy found Leo, Calypso, Piper, Nico, Hazel, and Thalia beside the campfire.

"Oh, HeEeEeEeEyY PeRcY," Leo slurred, his head on Calypso's lap. "Er..." Percy started "Is Leo okay?"

Calypso nodded. "Yeah, he's just extremely tired." Percy nodded understandingly. He then turned to look at Piper. "Chiron wants to see you at the Big House. You do know where that is, right?"

"Yeah, I do. Thanks for telling me," Piper answered, getting up and leaving.

"Anyway," Percy started, explaining what Chiron had just told him.

"So," Percy leaned back, "Who's coming with?"

Little did he know that a certain trio would be going to the same place soon enough.
