Hello everyone!
I hope you all enjoy this fanfic as I am restarting another one! There will be some slight similarities between the two but I hope this one turns out a lot better :) Please enjoy and review your thoughts!
PERCY
Life was supposed to be great and it was. The war was over and Annabeth and I were dating. Camp was undergoing a lot of construction, but seeing the new cabins go up and all the kids that had been unclaimed for years getting claimed made it an amazing experience.
It was the universal thought that we all deserved a break. Time to actually enjoy camp and try and move past the war.
Well it was like that until Chiron called me to the Big House.
I saw Annabeth, Nico, Thalia all there.
"Chiron, what's wrong?" I asked, my body tensing up.
"I am sorry to do this to all of you, especially with the war ending only 2 weeks ago, but desperate times call for these measures" he said.
"Chiron...what's wrong?" I asked again.
"I am afraid their is another quest you must partake in Percy." Chiron said.
"But I thought you said the next Great Prophecy would take a thousand years!" I exclaimed.
"And it very well might" Chiron said.
"Wait...what?" I said.
Annabeth rolled her eyes "Just listen Seaweed Brain"
"Lady Hecate called upon me to summon you all here for a quest. She did not tell me anything else." Chiron said.
"So now what do we do?" I asked scratching my head.
"That is for me to tell you" someone said behind me.
I quickly spun around, and pulled out Riptide.
I saw a women in white robes with ornate silver designs. Her midnight black hair that barely came down to her shoulders matched her dark eyes. There was also a green shimmer that surrounds her like an aura.
"Lady Hecate, goddess of magic, witchcraft, and crossroads." Chiron said bowing a bit.
"I asked Chiron to call you all here to ask a favor" she said.
"What can we do for you Lady Hecate?" Annabeth asked.
"When the gods were in England I blessed a few individuals with magical abilities; trait has been passed down through the generations and now there is an entire community of wizards living in England. Over 16 years ago though a dark and evil wizard named Voldemort came into power and terrorized many. He was defeated but has now returned. " she said.
"Wait a second. So your saying that you want us to travel across an ocean to defeat this guy?" I asked.
"Not entirely. Even if you were to battle him Perseus you could not win. There is a prophecy that states only the one who defeated him before can do so again." Hecate said.
"So who is the guy that defeated this Voldywort?" I asked.
"Its Voldemort, Percy." Annabeth said rolling her eyes.
"His name is Harry Potter. He attends a wizarding school that I wish you all to attend. I ask that you watch over him, protect him and his fellow students." she said.
"Wait, how old is Harry?" I asked.
"He is around your age Perseus." Hecate answered.
"So he defeated a super evil and powerful wizard as a baby?!" I exclaimed.
"Yes. A killing curse rebounded off of him, he is the only one to have survived such an attack" Hecate said.
"Oh" I said.
"You want us all to go?" Thalia asked.
"Yes. At first I only waned Perseus to go, as to not raise suspicion, but once your parents hear they all insisted you join." Hecate said "So I obliged, seeing as the children of the Big Three along with a daughter of Athena will only aid my cause further. And I have already spoken with Artemis, and she gives her permission for this quest as well. "
Hecate then took a deep breath and looked down then back up at us. There was obvious pain in her eyes.
"Please. I ask you all to help. They may not be my children but I still do not want to see their destruction." she said.
I looked back at Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico who all nodded.
"We will help you, Lady Hecate" I said.
"Thank you" she said.
"What will we need for this quest?" Annabeth asked.
"I will arrange everything. Do not bring to many weapons though, many might be able to see through the Mist. I will meet you back here tomorrow morning." she said, then disappearing in a flash of light.
"Well...that was..." I said running my hand through my hair.
"Yeah" Thalia said crossing her arms.
"So England..." Nico said.
"We should see Rachel. Maybe there is a prophecy we need to know about" I said.
"I'll go with you. With your luck you would forget half the prophecy" Annabeth said smiling.
We then knocked on Rachel's door and it swung open.
"Hey Percy! Hey Annabeth!" she said.
"Rachel, Lady Hecate just gave me, Percy, Thalia, and Nico a quest." Annabeth said.
"And you want to see if there is a prophecy that goes along with it" Rachel said smiling.
Then Rachel doubled over and stood back up straight, her eyes almost glowing green.
When she spoke her voice was amplified.
"Four will journey to the land of magic
A promise will lead to a death so tragic
The Boy who Lived and the Son of the Sea
Must make a sacrifice of the highest degree
Only working together can evil be defeated
And wisdom's treasure must be conceded"
Rachel then collapsed on the floor, but luckily Annabeth caught her.
Rachel gripped her head as Annabeth and I helped her up.
"What...what did I say?" she asked.
"Our prophecy. We can tell everyone together" I said and Annabeth nodded.
Rachel then brushed herself off and we walked back to Nico, Thalia, and Chiron. Nico was leaning on the wall, and Thalia was sitting on
"We got our prophecy" I said.
"And what does it say Kelp Head?" Thalia asked.
"Four will journey to the land of magic
A promise will lead to a death so tragic" I said.
"The Boy who Lived and the Son of the Sea
Must make a sacrifice of the highest degree" Annabeth said.
"Only working together can evil be defeated
And wisdom's treasure must be conceded" I said, finishing the prophecy.
"Ok, so the first line obviously talks about us four going to England" Thalia said.
"But what about the next one? A promise is going to lead to a death" Nico said.
"The Son of the Sea is definitely you Percy" Annabeth said.
"But who is the Boy who lived?" I said.
"And then the next line, a sacrifice of the highest degree, that might mean death" Nico said.
"The next line though it pretty obvious, we need to work with the wizards to win." Annabeth said.
"And the last line, what is wisdom's treasure?" I said.
"I don't know" Annabeth said "It might mean something about me or my mom"
"Either way this prophecy is super confusing on many levels" Thalia said.
"Yeah, we need to get ready for tomorrow. I don't think goddesses like to be kept waiting" I said.
"I need to speak with the other Hunters then" Thalia said leaving.
Nico just put his hands in his pockets, and walked away.
Chiron then said something about a class and Rachel left to take a call from her dad.
"I guess that leaves you and me" I said turning to Annabeth.
Annabeth was stuck in a trance almost.
"Annabeth?" I said
"Earth to Wise Girl?" waving my hand in front of her face.
I cleared my throat then yelled "Annabeth!"
She snapped out of her trance and covered her ears.
"Ahhh! What is Hades did you do that for Percy!" she yelled.
"You were doing it again" I said.
"What?!" she retorted.
"When you are thinking so deeply about something you go into this trance state" I said.
"Ohh...sorry" Annabeth said "But that doesn't give you an excuse to go and blast my ear off!"
"Point taken" I said putting my hands up.
"Wait, where is everyone?" Annabeth asked turning to see we were the only ones left.
"They all left" I said shrugging.
"Ok. I guess we need to get ready" Annabeth said.
"Ok, I do need to IM my mom and tell her what is going on." I said.
"Ok. Ill meet come by your cabin when I'm done, ok?" Annabeth said.
I nodded and we both took off in separate directions.
I went into my cabin and grabbed a bag, stuffing a couple shirts and jeans in there. I then pulled out my stash of ambrosia and nectar and a bag of drachmas. throwing them into my bag.
I then looked on my dresser, seeing a framed photo of me and Annabeth my mom gave to me on my birthday.
We didn't know at the time she took the picture, but that made it even more special. I picked up the frame and looked at the photo.
It was of me and Annabeth on my couch in my apartment, she was on my lap laughing as I blew a raspberry into her neck.
I smiled as I looked at the photo. I then placed it in my bag and grabbed an two extra daggers, then zipping up the bag.
I know Hecate said we shouldn't bring a lot of weapons but it made me feel a little better for some reason.
I pulled out an extra drachma and a spray bottle from my dresser and created a quick rainbow.
I threw in the coin and said "O, Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Sally Jackson, New York"
The rainbow shimmered and I saw my mom reading a book on our couch.
"Mom!" I said.
"Percy!" She said seeing me and putting the book down
"Hey mom" I said.
"I was just doing some reading, your coming home next week right?" she said.
"About that" I said rubbing my neck.
"Percy, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Its another quest mom. I have to go to England. I don't know how long exactly I'll be gone but its probably going to be a while" I said, rubbing the back of my neck.
"A quest?" she said.
"I'm really sorry mom" I said.
"That's alright Percy. I know that if you have to go, you'll go. I'll be fine. Just make sure you're safe" she said.
"Thanks mom!" I said.
"Do you know where exactly you'll be?" my mom asked.
"England. Me, Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth are going to some school for wizards in England for Hecate" I said.
"Wizarding School!?" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, its pretty crazy" I said.
"I'll bet. Make sure you bring plenty of ambrosia, nectar, and drachmas. And promise to call me the first chance you get when you finally get there. When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning" I said.
"That early! Well good luck, and be safe." she said.
"I promise and I love you mom" I said.
"I love you too Percy" she said and I cut through the connection.
I then heard a slight knock and turned to see Annabeth standing in the doorway with two bags on her shoulders. One I assumed was full of her stuff and the other was a laptop bag for Daedalus's laptop.
"Hey" I said.
"Hey yourself" Annabeth said putting her bags down.
"I wanted to know if you were packing ambrosia, nectar, drachmas, any extra weapons" she said.
"I got them all. You know I'm not a complete idiot here" I said.
"You just keep telling yourself that" she said walking over and pecking my cheek.
"What do you think about this whole quest. That prophecy didn't sound to good" I said.
"I don't know Percy" she said sitting down on my bed in a huff "The prophecy mentions death twice, maybe its the same person, or two different people."
"I know" I mumbled.
Annabeth looked up at me and patted the space beside her "Come here" she said.
I said down and she placed her hand on top of mind.
"We are going to look out for each other ok?" she said. I nodded and then then turned my face to fully look at her's.
"Ok?" she said.
"Don't we always" I said smiling.
"Good." she said.
I would be lying if I said part of me wasn't really scared bringing Annabeth along. I didn't want her to get hurt, and part of me knew the last line was about her. I just hoped that was it and we would all make it through this.
I hope you all enjoyed the first part of my rewrite!
What do you think of the prophecy? What do you all think it means?
