Aquaina's POV:
"The Trident of Poseidon in the ocean west, than the Helm of the Underworld next without rest, The bolt of Zeus in the closing and raising of Sky above. Create a weapon to raise the sky and make hero fall." RED (it's her initials, and hair color) rasped, green smoke flowing from her mouth and her eyes glowing green. She stopped prophesying, and fell back. Ari and I rushed to catch her. RED blinked and shook her head.

    "I spouted another prophecy?" She said. We all nodded. I pulled on my arrow necklace, before remembering that it was a lethal weapon that would turn into a sword, and that currently the sword tip would have sliced my head off, so I fiddled with my white leather choker instead. I noticed a blue glowing trident. Must have been Dad's work after I was claimed. Cool. A ton of campers gathered around us, talking to Rachel and whispering about the next great prophecy, or something. Will Solace pushed to the front of the group.

     "Guys, guys, give them some space. Rachel, Ari, Abibia and Aquaina, come to the Big House. Chiron wants to talk about the quest." Ugh! He mispronounced my name! He said it, Aqua-Eena, Not Uh- Queen-Ah.

     "It's Aquaina." I said. Will nodded.

       "Cool. Guys! Move! We have to get to the Big House!" He said, directing campers out of our way. I rubbed my head, thinking about the prophecy. Obviously the ocean west meant the Pacific Ocean, which meant going back home! I hadn't been home since February! I had mixed feelings about that.Thinking of Oregon brought tears to my eyes. Sing for me, Mom had asked when she died. Her hair was like a halo of curls when she was laying there, deep brownish black curls around her head. I had obliged her request of course, and proceeded to sing her favorite song: Story of Tonight from Hamilton. I may not live to see our glory, But I will gladly join the fight. And when our children tell our stories, they'll tell the story of tonight. Let's have another round tonight! Raise a glass to freedom, something they can never take away. No matter what they tell you. Raise a glass to the 4 of us, at that point, she was heavily breathing, so I stopped. She looked at me, tears in her big brown eyes.

Queen, you need to know this. Your father was, was a- she coughed. He was a god. I smiled. Mom, you Said yourself, he was the best man alive. She nodded. Yep, the best. But he'll always be alive. She gripped my hand. Baby, I have to go now. But I'll be okay. Remember that. I'll be okay. She whispered, crying silently. She kissed the top of my head. Tears were streaming down my face now. No, Mom, please. I can help you! I can help! I cried, pleading with her. She shook her head. No Baby, this is only for your mama to do. Now, remember what I told you. Use your necklace in dangerous situations, listen to Hamilton, it's good for your soul, and be Queen. No one else. Don't settle for Princess, Be my Queen. She commanded. Then, she hummed a melody, a beautiful wordless melody. Honey, I'll be there for you always. She gripped my hand harder. Now, sing. Her eyes went blank, than back to normal. Tomorrow there'll be more of us. I sang loudly and freely. I looked down at her, life almost gone. She kissed the top of my head again. I love you she whispered. Than nothing. She was gone. I blinked. I had zoned out. I wiped my eyes, and raced to catch up with Ari and Abibia.

     "Ok, so obviously Ocean West means the Pacific!" Ari said to Abibia. They were arguing about the prophecy, trying to figure it out like me.

     "Yeah, ok, but Raising Sky? Isn't it already above us?" I asked, looking up at it. We all looked up. It looked very stable, and in the atmosphere above already. Chiron was waiting for us at the front of the Big House.

    "Come children. The others are waiting inside." He said. We obliged, following Chiron into the game room. There was a ping pong table, all the senior counselors, and the 7 waiting. We sat down on a couch.

    "Why are they here?" Nico asked.

     "They may have something to do with the prophecy." Chiron said.

      "Can we hear it?" Percy asked. Rachel recited it, and everyone looked around nervously.

    "The Sky falling? That doesn't sound good! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Leo joked. Piper glared at him. Annabeth frowned, tugging on a strand of hair that had escaped her pony tail.

   "Ouranos. The Sky. Like Gaea, the Earth." She said. A hush fell over the group.

    "Um, can we get an explanation on this whole Gaea thing? And the seven? And why Personification has a tattoo for the symbol of Neptune on his arm?" I asked. Abibia nodded.

   "Yeah, we want some answers." She said, crossing her arms over her black and white striped t shirt. Percy looked at me.

    "How'd you know that this was the symbol of Neptune?" He asked suspiciously. I sighed. Geez, so suspicious.

    "I took an AP Greek and Roman History class at my high school. They focused on myths for, like, the whole year! Or at least when we were there. Anyway, I know stuff!" I said. I fiddled with the buttons on my white jean jacket. Blondie- Jason, sorry, nodded.

     "Gaea is Goddess of the Earth, like Mother Earth, but evil, and she tried to take over the Earth. Us 7 were the people who went on a quest to stop her, but Nico and another girl named Reyna helped too. Percy and I both went to each other's camps with wiped memories by the goddess Hera who wanted us to bond together to fight Gaea." He said.

     "Wow, I kinda get why Gaea was mad. All of us, stomping, driving cars, building houses, and biking on her? Anyone would have been mad if the suffered from eternal punishment of that!" I joked. Everyone turned and glared at me, except for Leo, Ari, Abibia and Chiron. I cleared my throat.

     "Sorry. Continue." I said sheepishly, fiddling with a piece of hair that fell on the side of my face. They turned back to the table.

      "It's obviously our quest, I mean, the Helm is mostly Hades's weapon in his Greek form, not Roman, so that's me, Percy because Poseidon, and Jason, for Zeus." Nico said. Chiron cleared his throat.

      "Nico, I believe that while you may be going on the quest, it is not yours." Chiron said.

Everyone started whispering and talking amongst themselves.

     "Who is it then?" Percy asked. I got a sudden flash of knowledge and power, like my dad was warning me of what was supposed to happen. I stood, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

     "It's ours."
