Return to past

The fight and the Prophecy

Percy POV.

I was super hyped about capture the flag against the hunters, though my dream disturbed me because when I woke up I was confused.

Flashback-Dream

I step forward and see a girl with a streak of gray hair. We both walked up to each other and I kissed her before saying "I love you Zoë and that will never change".

Flashback-End

    I was worried because Annabeth would kill me and Artemis would turn me into a jackalope. To capture the flag I got put in charge of leading. I told Thalia to follow me to get the flag while the Hermes cabin guarded. Most of the other cabins were decoys. As I got past the hunter with Thalia by my side, I felt awesome but that adrenaline faded once I got to Zoë. She started giggling and choked out "If you don't leave I will tell all the hunters what happened last night". "That will only harm you, I countered, I am going to explain". Suddenly Thalia grabbed the flag and sprinted away while I got shot in the back by Phoebe who then asked "What did happen last night". I followed Thalia but we both got tripped by wires. Hunters got our flag and crossed the creek. 

    Thalia turned to me and screamed "If you didn't waste time talking to Zoë and actually took the flag, we could have won". I immediately glared at her but started pondering whether she was actually right. But before I could say anything I got electrocuted. "Pinecone Face!" I bellowed, I started a hurricane and sent her flying into a tree. She got up but wasn't unscathed. She zapped me with a lightning bolt that made my hair stand on an end. I got so mad I started seeing red and commanded "Drop your weapons now!", Thalia dropped her spear and tapped aegis back to a bracelet. I brought my hands down and she fell to her knees. Zoe rushed out as I was about to end Thalia for good, she crashed into me and we both landed at the feet of the oracle. She looked at both of us and we saw Athena at the top of a barren peak. The rasped with green mist coming out of her mouth than she spoke:

Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,

One shall be lost in the land without rain,

The primordials child shows the trail,

Campers and hunters combined prevail,

The Titans curse must one withstand,

And one shall perish by a parents hand,

Lest love can be found close to the death land.
