Chapter 9:Goodbye.
(Y/N) POV:
I didn't know what to do and just stared at Rachel in shock till she sat up, she looked at me in confusion but the look on my face must have told her what happened. "Green smoke and weird words just spilled from my mouth didn't they?" I nodded and she sighed, "Stop looking like you just saw a ghost. Not sure anyone told you but i'm the camps oracle, Delphi has decided that she wanted me to tell you a prophecy. Which can be bad or horrible. What did she say?" It took me a moment to find my voice but after I did she looked troubled. "We should tell chiron, he'll know what do to. But in my experience I'd say you probably have a quest coming your way." She stood up and reached a hand out to me, "Come on, can't spend all say in the sand (Y'N), that's Percys job." I slightly chuckled and took her hand, even though I felt the ground may cave in any second and swallow me up. After everything Percy had gone threw on his quests, would I be okay?

Chiron gave me a sympathetic look after Rachel finished explaining what had happened, "I am truly sorry for you (Y/N), There have been some things stirring recently but to think you would be the one to have to deal with it..." He turned his attention back to Rachel, "I will call a gathering tonight and (Y/N) can pick who he shall take with him on his quest. And (Y/N), You should try and get some training in today. You have been incapacitated for quiet some time and could use it." I nodded, "Now if you could, I would like to talk to Rachel alone." "Of course, i'll see you tonight I guess." I waved to Rachel before leaving the big house and heading towards the arena. It was about midday so it was full of campers brawling, I tried to look for Percy among the crowd but couldn't seem to find him in the mass of bodies. "(Y/N)?" I turned around to see Percy toweling off, it looked like he had just dumped some water on himself. "What are you doing in here? I thought will said you couldn't train yet?" He gave me a questioning look, "Chiron told me to come and get some training in today..." I looked around us but no one was paying attention, "Um... I probably shouldn't say anything but, I was with Rachel earlier. She told me a prophecy... Tomorrow I leave to go on my first quest..." Instead of Percy going of and ranting like a worried mom like I expected I felt him pull me into an embrace, his head nuzzled into my neck. "I'm coming with you. No complaints, I'm not going to let anything hurt you. Ever..." His grip on me tightened and I giggled, "I never said I was going without you, tonight chirons calling a gathering to let me choose who I go with. I was going to choose you and grover." He pulled away from me but kept a hand on my shoulder, "Are you sure? You don't know Grover all that well and your friends with other campers-" I cut him off, "I've thought about this Percy. I want you with me and I know you trust Grover, plus he does have some helpful skills that I think this quest might need." He closed his eyes and appeared to think about it, "Okay, i'll let him know before tonight so he isn't caught to off guard." He leaned in and placed a small kiss on my forehead, "We'll be okay (Y/N), I've been to hell, literally, and I made it back in one piece. Now, shall we start training?" He ruffled my hair as I nodded, he went to grab me a sword but the one he came back with was odd compared to his or the others, " I think someone left you a gift (Y/N), maybe your mom." He handed me a 4 foot sword made of a silvery/white looking metal. I held in in one and noticed how perfectly balanced it felt. Near the hilt was an owl carved into the cold metal, "What is this made of? It's really light and cold like ice." Percy looked at me confused, "Light? The thing felt like carrying a car to me." Now it was my turn to be confused, I swung it a few times but it was like swinging a twig, there was almost no weight to it. " Well I guess we can confirm it's from my mom at least. There's an owl carved into it, plus whatever weird metal it's made of will probably save me later on knowing her." I sighed and motioned for Percy to copy me as I got into a fight stance, he complied and soon enough our training commenced.

Everyone had gathered after dinner for an 'announcement' from chiron except for me and Rachel, technically I was supposed to wait with everyone else but I was to nervous and didn't want to trip over anyone as I was called up front so I decided just to go out with chiron at the beginning. I could hear everyone whispering about what was going on and even caught the word quest a few times. Chiron came over to me and asked if I was ready, my answer was a shudder and an I don't know. "It's okay (Y/N), you wont be out there long, you only have to choose two people and then you can go sit down." I nodded and he placed a hand on my shoulder, slowly nudging me to go forward. Once we were out in front of everyone silence well over them, their eyes bore into me and I felt like I wanted to run. I hated being in the spot light in front of this many people. "Welcome everyone!" It was chiron, his big speech was starting and I felt relief that the other campers eyes moved to him, "I hope everyone had a good dinner! But as you know I have called you here to tell you some rather concerning news. Our oracle has given us another prophecy! One which (Y/N) will take on." He gestured a hand to me and once again I was the focus of everyone's attention. "He will choose his quest members tonight and leave early tomorrow. Now (Y/N), who do you want to accompany you on your journey?" I swallowed and took a deep breath, "I've chosen Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood to accompany me on my quest." My voice came out surprisingly strong and even. Chiron nodded and the two stood up, Percy with a grin on his face and Grover looking around nervously. I gratefully went to join them after chiron started speaking again. I plopped myself down between them and tried to hide myself from the others occasional glance/glare. "So we leave tomorrow?" It was Grover who spoke, I nodded. "Chiron doesn't want to take any chances with this prophecy. We leave at first light." This seemed to worry him more, "We're, you know, not gonna die right? Cause I have a good life going for me here. I have a girlfriend and..." Percy stopped Grovers worried rants, "It's okay, I've been threw worse than this. I'll make sure you come home safely to juniper." His legs were still bopping a bit but he seemed calmed by Percys words, "Thanks man..."

I had packed my few spare sets of clothes and some other necessities and was now laying in bed wide awake, terrified for tomorrow. The lines of the prophecy repeated themselves endlessly in my head. I rolled over and took a deep breath, trying to clear my mind. I knew I needed my rest, worrying was just going to make tomorrow worse. Eventually sleep did welcome me, but the dream it brought didn't help my nerves.
