My love for you has Stood the test of Time

Dreams and a New Prophecy

Percy's POV:

          I found my self in a garden with peaceful music in the background. I was crouched down behind a bush with, Zoe. She was looking beyond the bush at something that at the moment was snoring and it sounded big. She turned around and took a hairpin that looked like a lotus out of her hair and handed it to me. 

          "You will need the help," She said and began to send energy into the hairpin. It changed shape into a blade I knew all to well Anaklusmos. "Take it to complete your quest."  

          "I don't know what to say," I sounded weird my voice was deeper. Suddenly the snoring cut out and I was attacked by the monster. As it did the dream shifted and I was on a bare mountain top looking Annabeth walked into my field of vision and I saw her run to Luke who was crumpled up on the ground being crushed by something. She knelt down and it looked like she was talking to him and eventually she picked up what was crushing him and let him get out from under it. the only problem being she was know stuck under what had Luke pinned. I was suddenly pulled off the mountain by the wind I think and plunged a very long way. 

         I woke up in a cold sweat not making heads or tails about that first dream it was defiantly not one of my past, had a few of those come up now and again. I looked outside and fond it was nearly morning I got up and decided to talk with Chiron about it he would understand it better. 

          When I got to the Big House I saw Zoe knocking on the door very forcefully. "Hey Zoe what's got you all ruffled up," I said she turned to me and I could see it in her eyes something was wrong with Artemis.

Time Skip

          Zoe told me about her dream Artemis saved Annabeth from what was crushing her and Luke prior but she was now stuck under it and chained in place. We both finally got to talk to Chiron who said nothing can be done at the moment the Director needs to give permission and Mr. D is not here right now, he would return latter that day. So we both decided to take our anger out at the archery range. 

          "Uhg, this is so moronic" Zoe said after firing her fifth arrow. "We should be out there helping out our Lady!" she fired another arrow this one missing the bullseye. 

          "Tell me about it she tried to do the same for me along time ago. Rushing off at speeds barely fathomed at the time trying to save me from that blasted scorpion!" I said with distaste  firing my twelfth arrow. "I should be doing the same for her and for Annabeth she's locked up there too. That's it I am heading out" I said letting my bow change back into a ring.

          "Your doing what know?" Zoe asked me as I began to walk away. 

          "I am going to go and help Artemis your welcome to come to if you want." I called behind me she rushed up to me and followed me to my cabin. 

          "You can't just leave willy nilly neither of us have a clue as to where she went?" She said as we walked. 

          "Yeah your right we need a prophecy to give us a clue," I said looking up at the Big Houses attic. "I have a stupid idea." 

          She followed my gaze and saw me looking up at the attic, "You can't be serious." She said, five minutes later we were up on the last floor looking at the hatch. I pulled the cord and started climbing up. 

          "I'll ask about Artemis you keep watch," I said from at the top step. 

          "Why should thee be the one to ask her?" she asked me. 

          "I my life before this one I was a son of Apollo and her care taker might trigger something," I said. 

          "Fine be fast," she said pushing up the ladder.

          I walked into the trophy laden attic and over to the mummified oracle. "Hey its me again," I said to the mummy she gave no reply. "I want to know what me and Zoe can do to save Artemis and Annabeth?" I tried still no reply I looked out the window to the sun rising higher and decided it was no use and went back downstairs. 

          "What did she say?" Zoe asked as soon as the steps were stowed away. 

          "She said nothing to me," I replied softly. "Maybe she'll react at some point but for now we need to go and get ready for breakfast and the capture the flag game tonight." 

          "Okay then lets go!" she said with fake excitement. 

Time skip to that night 

          The Capture the flag game ended in an argument between me and Thalia. Specifically because I was supposed to guard our flag but I saw an opening and decided to take it, which was just what Zoe wanted me to do. As we were arguing I noticed that everyone around us had stopped looking at us and was now watching something to our left coming closer. "Thalia stop something odd is happening," I said pointing to the thing hobbling to the clearing. 

          "Is that what I think it is?" she asked me after looking for herself.

          "Well that depends?" I replied "you see the Oracle hobbling to this clearing too, right?" 

          "Yep." was her response. 

          The oracle finally came into the clearing and walked up to Zoe who was standing between me and Chiron and stopped a foot away from her. "I am the spirit of Delphi," she said to Zoe. "Speaker of the Prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. Approach Seeker, and ask." 

          Zoe looked over to me and I simply nodded, "What must I do to help my goddess?" She asked softly. 

          The Oracles mouth opened and out spewed that green intoxicating mist taking the shape of mountains and a girl standing at the barren peak. She was wrapped in chains and bowed down hand raised as if to defend from an attacker. "Five shall go west to the goddess in chains," the oracle spoke and the mist shifted to an ambiguous figure in a barren land. "One shall be lost in the land without rain," the mist shifted to look like a path through a map of the US. "The bane of Olympus shows the trail," the mist then showed a hunter and a camper. "Campers and Hunters combined prevail," the mist shifted back to Artemis free and a figure in her place. "The Titans curse must one withstand," it shifted to a figure laying seemingly dead. "And one shall perish by a parent's hand." With that the smoke curled back up into her mouth and she stood there for a moment almost looking peaceful then she collapsed to the ground completely motionless.
