Xylo's POV

I'm done asking Hades for answers that he won't give me. So I'm going to the oracle. This will hopefully get me some answers. I'm tired of being Hades's ace he uses anytime he's in a tough spot. It's time he deals with his own problems. Now I need to find Kay to get the key.

"Hey, Kay. I need to see the oracle."
"What? Why do you need to see the oracle?"
"I'm done asking Hades for answers about my mom. I need to ask the oracle about her."
"Oh, okay. Here's the key."
"Thanks Kay!"
That went easier than I thought it would. Nevertheless I have the key. Time to see the oracle.

Once I got to the oracle, I found the door was unlocked. When I walk in the oracle immediately started talking.

"Xylo Son of Hades, I know what you come to ask, but the fates don't allow me to tell you."

At this I was really disappointed and said, "Ok, thanks anyway I'll be going now."

Then she said, "I didn't say I was through yet. While I can't tell the knowledge you seek, I can send you on the path to this knowledge.
You shall go on a quest for the information. And with it a prophecy."

"The Champion of Death
Breaks away without thought,

To find the camp two wars fought,

One shall go east
To the camper's tree,

To hear the oracle's decree

To receive mother's name of thee"

When she was finished I thanked her and was on my way. I walk outside to see Kay waiting for me.
She asked, "What did she say?"
"She said the Fates didn't allow her to tell me."
"Well, that was useless."
"Not quite. While she couldn't tell me the answers, she could set me on the path to them. I'm going to be gone for a while."
"Ok, but be back as soon as possible."
"You got it. See you soon."
With that I put on my dragon scale armor,spread my wings and flew east. To find my mother.

Camp Half-Blood

Percy POV

The war is over and everyone was doing just fine. That is until we saw a silhouette on the ground and looked up to see a figure that looks like a mix between a dragon and a man. Everyone started to panic as no one knew what monster this was. It soared in the sky and landed on the hill and started inspecting Thalia's tree. While it was busy with that, we suited up and went to the hill. When it noticed us it turned to us and gave a Roman salute. It then took off a helmet to reveal a man with a black skull tattoo covering half his face. It was at this point I realized that he looked like a dragon because he has armor made of dragon scales. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Hello, my name is Xylo, Son of Hades."
