"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves".
"Andrea, now isn't the time to read Shakespeare quotes!" Summer's voice echoed in Andrea's ear as she sighed and shut the thick book she had begun to read even though that was far from the reason she was in the quiet library at 3 in the afternoon with her brother Jackson, her friends Summer and Ivy, and Ashford and Penelope who were in detention with them. After their hour had passed, Professor Coleman had marched up to the storeroom and looked around to find it neat and clean. Pleased with their work, he had let them off without any snide comments. However, he had grabbed hold of Jackson before he had let them leave and had asked, "Is there anything... intriguing that you found? Anything that may pique my interest?"
Jackson had frowned at this strange question and had shook his head while thinking about the piece of parchment that he could feel in his pocket. He was careful not to look uncomfortable as Professor Coleman examined him with suspicious eyes and succeeded in convincing him that no one had found anything 'intriguing' in the storeroom.
The group of students was now in the library, trying to decipher the words they had found on the piece of parchment, the words of the Ancient-Demigod Witch Prophecy. Jackson had his head bent over the parchment with Ashford and Penelope at his side. The two of them didn't understand a single word of it, as it wasn't written in English. It took them all a while to figure out that it was written in Ancient Greek, a language which was naturally embedded in the minds of demigods.
Andrea, Summer and Ivy were examining the shelves for books that could help them translate some complicated words, in case they came across any, almost forgetting that Andrea was at a risk of getting distracted by the other books, just waiting to be read. And that's what had happened.
"Sorry." Andrea murmured, reluctantly placing the book back on its shelf. So far, they had had no luck finding anything useful and so, Andrea made her way to where Jackson stood and said, "Have you had any luck translating it?"
"Yeah." Jackson replied, dragging his fingers across the words and forgetting his hostility towards Andrea for the time being. "I'm not used to reading Ancient Greek, I've never done it before. But there are some things here that I understand. Like... twin, and gemstones, and... and I think... Fleming..."
"Fleming?" Andrea picked up on Savannah's family name immediately. "Here, let me have a look at it again."
Jackson nodded and handed over the prophecy to his sister, not tearing his eyes away from it as she examined its contents once again.

Although she had never read Greek in her entire life, somehow, the words seemed to make sense to her and she nodded as she recognised the words that Jackson had mentioned.
"I've found something!" Ivy exclaimed suddenly and sprinted to the table the others were standing by with a thick book in her hand. "It'll help us translate Ancient Greek to English." She explained while setting the book down on the table.
