Annabeth's PoV

As the lady walked in, I felt Percy stiffen beside me. I shot him a concerned look.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"The eyes" He said. 

I looked at her eyes, they were all misty and unclear. 

"They are May Castellan's eyes" He whispered, "She tried to be the oracle but since she wasn't a maiden... Anyways, that's why Luke didn't want you to see her when you visited her. She kept telling Luke that he was going to die... That's why he ran away." 

He looked down, looking ashamed that he told me this. He had tears in his eyes.

"And she still doesn't know what happened, she's still making PB&J sandwiches, waiting for him to come back."

His tears were falling, mine were too.

"Her eyes are not so misty. Maybe she was a maiden but the Oracle refused her." He said. 

Most people thought that Seaweed Brain was stupid, but he can be smart from time to time. The lady turned to us.

"Ah. You are the exchange students. I saw with my inner eye that you were going to come today." 

"Or, you saw us at the Great Hall getting sorted like everyone else." Said Leo.

We laughed. Even though I felt sorry for her, what Leo said was pretty funny.  The lady huffed.

"I am Professor Trelawny and I will be your divination teacher." She said, clearly annoyed by Leo's comment. Suddenly, she went rigid. She opened her mouth and green smoke skewed out. She turned to us and pointed towards Percy.

"You shall go west, and face the *sneeze* who has turned,
You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,
And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."

She then pointed towards Clarisse.

"You shall sail the iron ship with warriors of bone,
You shall find what you seek and make it your own,
But despair for your life entombed within stone,
And fail without friends, to fly home alone."

An pointed her finger towards Thalia.

"Five shall go west to the *cough* in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of *aaaa tchoum* shows the trail,
*cough* and *cough* combined prevail,
The *sneeze* curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent's hand."

She pointed towards Nico.

"You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze,
The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise.
You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand,
The Child of *sneeze* final stand.
Destroy with a final breath,
And lose a love to worse than death."

She pointed towards Jason, then Leo and then Piper.

"Child of Lightning, beware the earth,
The giants' revenge the seven shall birth,
The forge and dove shall break the cage,
And death unleash, through cow's rage."

She then pointed towards Frank and Hazel, then towards Percy.

"Go to Alaska. Find *cough* and free him. Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die. (My favorite prophecy)
To the north, beyond the *sneeze*, lies the legion's crown.
Falling from ice, the son of *hic* shall drown."
