Orcale: A prophetess who gets prophecies from the spirit of Delphi.

I love prophecies too much akdnwkd Apollo side of me is going wacko for them. Pardon but I will never stop prophecy-ing.

And ehem, I got fanart.

Credit to @DogInATuxedo for these awesome fanarts! :D

Also, I completely forgot the fact the three were bringing around a Medusa head. So basically just think Six forgot it somewhere and that nearly killed someone.

Onward ho, my readers!

.: Six's P.o.V. :.
.: First Person :.

I stared down on the ground as we headed back to the tents. I wondered what Shadow Six will be doing now, I trust her that she doesn't mean harm, but I wondered what she does all those time before she found me. Perhaps next time I meet her I will ask.

But she said something about world domination - even if it was by accident. I'm not sure if I misheard it but if those monsters, shadow children, and the Lady herself is thinking of something bad, I don't think this will just become any simple escape mission.

"Guys! I've been looking for you, everywhere!"

I snapped out of my train of thought and looked up to see Three running up to us. She took a minute to take her breath before looking at us, Five stepped closer to the daughter of Ares, "What is wrong Three?"

Three inhaled deeply, "Two was looking for you, where were you guys?"

"Apples went missing," Mono explained and Three rose her eyebrow while looking at Apples who was in Five's arms protectively. Apples nodded, "Apples," he said agreeingly.

I stepped on closer to them, "What does Two need from us?" I asked, Three turned to me, "Uhm well I found that sack with Medusa's head in it, it was a good thing I did not open it. Two said she'll keep it with her and I should look for you guys. Then she also wanted to talk with you about something," she said.

I stood frozen then facepalmed, "Right, oh my god I could've nearly killed someone," I said and Three nodded, "Yeah, but anyways it's with Two now," she said.

"Okay I'll go get it," I said and turned to the two boys, "You're coming with?" I asked, Seven nodded, "I'll go."

Mono shrugged, "I had enough rest I guess, sure," he said. I nodded and turned back to Five and Three, "Where is Two now, by the way?" I asked them.

"Follow me," Three said while walking off, turning back once to motion us to come with her, we looked at each other and followed her. Five followed on the back of the group until we reached a bigger tent.

Three opened the tent's curtains and we went in to see Two, One, Una, and Thirteen all standing over a table which was in the middle of the tent. There was some maps all around the tent and even on the table, and crates were stacked on top of one another in the corners of the tent.

I saw Two looking over the map, her face in a serious frown while Una and Thirteen shifted away from her. She looked up and her frown eased, giving us a light smile, "Oh hey, thanks for bringing them here Three. You could go," she dismissed Three and Three nodded while heading out the tent.

"Well, this place seems... nice," I noted while walking up to where Two was. Two shrugged, "It's the only place I could think well. Being an Athena kid, I mostly plan the expiditions we do to the other places of the Maw - that and finding a good route for escape," she said while waving over the map on the table.

Even if she was calmed down, it was like there was something bothering her. I leaned over to the map, taking a good look at all the surprisingly good drawings of vents, rooms, and hallways.

"That is cool, must've took so long to cover that much ground," Seven said, who was actually looking at the map over my shoulder - which made me jolt slightly. Two smiled, like she was happy to hear that, "Of course, each group covers different sections, which makes covering much ground quicker."

"Mono also helps us, but mostly goes lone. He found more places than any of us," One added in while looking at Mono.

"More places than you should never know or go to," Mono mumbled looking away from One and I looked at him concerned, "What?"

"Nothing."

Two waved her hand dissmissively, "But that's not why I brought you here. Aside from the Medusa head, I hoped to ask a favor from you guys," she said.

I blinked, "Of course, what is it?"

Two looked over the map, "Well, we've lost contact to one of our friends. We lost her near the Janitor's Lair, but to what I've heard from the monsters, she was still alive but still somewhere roaming the Maw. Seeing how not safe this hellhole is, I hoped someone could go and find her. I do that myself but..." she trailed off before frowning again.

"But what?" Mono asked and Two sighed, "I was right, these monsters were not just helping the Lady because of free food or what. She is using them for something bigger plan she had."

"And that is?..." Five wondered, Apples frowned like he didn't like what would come out of Two's mouth next.

"She's preparing for some war," One said.

"What?" Seven asked, "That crazy psycho masked wrench is preparing for a war? To who?"

Two looked at us straight to the eyes, her face was filled with seriousness it almost made me quiver, "The gods."

At this point we were all speechless - okay sure the Lady is taking demigod children for better meat for those horrid fat Guests - but she is wanting to fight the gods?

I paused my train of thought, remembering what Shadow Six told me - or well, rambled. Shadow children aiming world domination... Was... Was there more to the story and I haven't found that out?

Is someone helping the Lady... In order to help her plan out this war of hers?

"Trust me I am as surprised as you are when I found out, but that was when Thirteen... well... fainted and got possessed," Two said while looking over Thirteen, who pursed her lips and nodded.

"Possessed? By what?" Mono asked while looking over to the petite, curly haired girl. Una smiled nervously, "The Orcale of Delphi."

"The what of what?" Seven said and I turned to him, "An Orcale is a prophtess who could tell the future and prophecies. Now the Orcale of Delphi is one of the spirits who will possess a prophetess to tell those prophecies," I explained.

Seven blinked, "Okay, so all in all, some person telling prophecies," he summed up and Una nodded, "Then Thirteen got out some big bad Great Prophecy, and she spoke quite well it gave me the heebie jeebies," she shivered while Thirteen just frowned apologetically.

"What did she say," Mono asked, his tone suddenly turning very dead serious. Two sighed, and recited the prohpecy.

"The Lady's patron helps overthrow the gods.
Only half-bloods break the odds.
Sisters together ends the gluttony.
Bringing her to felony.
A sacrifice and betrayal makes the mend.
The magic, sea, or the hunter gives freedom in the end."

Two shook her head, "It sounds so simple but so confusing. Who is the Lady's patron? Sure it says only us who could stop her, but who are the sisters and who are they ending? Who is the sacrifice and the betrayal? And as for the magic, sea, and the hunter..." she trailed off while looking at me, Seven, and Mono.

I blinked, "Oookay I can get where this is going and I don't like it," I said.

Mono folded his arms, "Is it saying that one of us would probably be sacrificed to free us all?"

Seven winced, "I agree with Six I can see where this is going and I don't like it," he said.

"It's not like we have a choice, prophecies are like that. Try to avoid it and you'll fall right into the trap," One said, "I think the Lady was trying to avoid us from stopping her by putting us in this sick restaurant prison, but it played all to the Fates' favor."

"That could be," Two agreed.

Suddenly, Thirteen stumbled. We all looked over with shock as she shivered. Being the closest to her, One and Una crouched down beside her, and Una placed her hand on Thirteen's shoulder, "Thirteen? Are you okay?"

Thirteen tried talking, but she pushed herself up and lunged for me. We all inched back, but as I stumbled, she held onto my wrist, Beware her, Six. The one you think is a friend is the traitor. If you want escape, you must end the traitor, the curse, and the Lady, it's the only way.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "What curse? Who... Who are you?!"

"Is that the Orcale of Delphi possessing her?" Seven mumbled to Two, Two looked as shocked as he was and she shook her head, "The Oracle would emit a green mist... and has an old raspy woman's voice... This is someone else entirely."

Thirteen shook her head, The enemy plans to rise, Six! And he helps the Lady. We have been watching, only watching, but now is the time we fight! The Titans rise!

Author: I swear if someone plays any AoT song...

Use your talents, redeem my name! And with that Thirteen's head lolled back and fainted, luckily One was able to catch her before she fell to the ground. I stood silent... the voice... It was familiar, very familiar...

"What the Hades happened?" One mumbled and my eyes widened, "Hecate."

"What?" Two said and I turned to her, "Hecate talked to me," I said while looking down to Thirteen, "You've heard her; the Titans rise, and in order for us to escape we must stop the Lady who is helping the Titans... Just as the Great Prophecy said."

I paused when I remember she said, redeem my name. Hecate always stood in the either bad or good side of mythology, mostly the bad. What has she done now, that she wants me, out of all kids, to redeem her name?

"We'll think about this later," Two sighed while flatting up the map and turned to One, "One, Una, bring Thirteen to the infirmary. Let her rest," she ordered and they nodded, One carefully picking Thirteen up as he and Una walked on out.

"Two, will you tell the others about this?" Five asked and she nodded, "If we all want to escape, we should. But I will be the one who'll tell them," she said and was about to walk on out when she paused, "Oh right, the Medusa head is by that crate, by the way," she said and went out.

"Apples," Apples frowned and Five nodded, "I agree, well, I will be with Scarf, wherever that thief is," he said as he and Apples waved from us and went out.

We were all silent, until Seven chuckled dryly. "Well, seems like our escape got a little bit more tricky," he said, trying to lift the mood. I smiled, "You don't say Sev."

"The Titans... Those are the ones before the gods right?" Seven asked and Mono turned to him, "Wow, for once you figured a myth all by yourself."

"I read sometimes, you know, even it's quite hard," Seven glared at him and Mono shrugged while leaning back a crate. I sighed, there is tons of things that happened and it was clearly too much to handle, I grabbed the Medusa head sack and went out.

When I went out I saw something swirling in the shadows nearby, then a familiar creature bounded to me. My eyes widened, "Tiberius?" I gasped. Seven and Mono poked out of the tent, "Who?"

"Guys!" Shadow Six called while hopping out of the hellhound's back, I looked at her then looked around cautiously to anyone who might see a big hellhound around, "Shadow Six! What are you doing here? They might attack Tiberius- oh," I trailed off when Tiberius turned to shadows.

"You guys have to run!" Shadow Six said, Mono and Seven went out and stood beside me, I rose my eyebrow, "Why?"

Before Shadow Six could answer, there was a loud explosion on a nearby vent. A scream was heard and Shadow Six frowned, "I'm too late... They're here," she said bitterly.

Mono stepped closer to her, "Who's here?"

"MONSTERS!" Children screamed as they ran about. Shadow children came out. There was harpies, Cyclopes, and empousai with them. They all looked excited to see the runaway children. Harpies ruffled their wings and quickly shot to the air, picking up a child with them on both feet. Cycolpes had their one beady eye grinning at them as they held up their clubs and crashed it down. Empousai shrilled and ran to them, quickly bringing them down or having a drink of blood from one of them.

A shadow child shrieked happily while making their way to us. Shadow Six rose her hand before we could do anything and quickly killed the shadow child with a swipe of her hand.

The children were too shocked from the sudden attack to do anything and started running around, getting themselves quickly caught or killed. Some managed to focus their senses and fought back, although quickly failing. I turned to Shadow Six.

"Shadow Six, what is happening?!" I asked.

Shadow Six frowned, "The Lady wants this place gone, and to capture all the runaway children."
