Prologue

"We need to confirm the seven members of the Prophecy of Seven, or as the Greeks know it, the Second Great Prophecy." Reyna said, starting the private meeting in her house. "Jason and Percy are definitely going and Jason claims Piper McLean and Leo Valdez are also members, while Percy says the same for Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang; so we have six members. We need to find the seventh.

"Do you want to go?" Annabeth cautiously asks, her gray eyes calculating.

"No," Reyna replies, shaking her head. "I need to stay and protect my city. Rome's leaders can't abandon her again." Jason flinches.

"Okay, then." Annabeth says, relieved. "I'll be the seve-"

"No!" Hylla shouts rising.

Annabeth looks taken back, before glaring. "Why? Do you want Reyna to go?"

"Annabeth," Percy whispers, warning.

"I don't care who goes, as long as it's not you!" Hylla spat out.

Thalia comes in defense of her best friend. "What do you have against Annabeth?" she demands, looking ready to bring out her bow and arrows.

"What do I have? What do I have? Maybe the fact that she destroyed my home!" Hylla responds, equally willing to take out her own weapons.

"I thought you forgave us for that." Percy asks, confused.

"Percy," Reyna says, slightly losing her composure. "We forgave you, since you reunited my sister and me, and since you saved New Rome. But not your girlfriend. And to be honest, you weren't really the one to destroy the island. Annabeth was the one who released the pirates."

Annabeth gasps. "Pirates? You two were on Circe's island!"

"Remember now? Funny, I thought it was your boyfriend with the memory problems." Hylla snidely says. "Do you have any idea what those pirates did to us?" she shuddered.

Jason looked like a part of his memory came back, as his gaze darkened. "Wait, you're the one that-"

"Stop! What are you all talking about? Pirates? Circe?" Piper finally explodes, as Leo, Hazel, and Frank nodded, curious. Though Thalia looked like she might know, remembering the story of how Percy, Annabeth, and Grover got the Golden Fleece.

"Tell me!" Piper ordered.

At this, Hylla does take out her weapons, angrily saying "How dare you try to charmspeak us!"

Piper was backing up in shock and slight terror as the power that was her ticket to the meeting didn't work, when a book with a note fell down on to the table.

Reyna ignored everyone as she picked up and read the note aloud.

Dear demigods,

While watching your argument, I decided that it would be

beneficial to the alliance of the camps, if the leaders of your

groups and the confirmed members of the prophecy were to

learn more about each other. So I have sent a book called

"The Scourge of the Seven Seas" in Reyna and Hylla's point of view so

you learned what she endured before camp.

-Hera, the Queen of the Gods

"No," Reyna whispered aghast. Jason reached over, as if to comfort her, when Piper loudly said, "Well I guess we should read this book then. Who wants to start?"

"Since it's about me, I will go first." Reyna said, recovering quickly, though her voice was still shaky.
