Percy POV
Okay...this was weird. The weird part was not Aphrodite telling me I would die, I get that a lot, it was Aphrodite coming here and giving me advice for free! And then the part that I hate, Annabeth and Aphrodite sharing glances like they know something I don't. Have I mentioned how much I hate that?
So, after Aphrodite went back to Olympus, everyone's eyes were on Annabeth to ask what the Hades is this sword. My heart crushed when I saw Annabeth totally horrified as if her worst fears had been confirmed. "Annabeth," I inquired, "do you know what sword was Aphrodite talking about." "Yes, th- the sword Aphrodite was talking about was the 'sword of creation' , a weapon which was once wielded by Chaos himself." Stunned silence followed this answer, me being me asked, "Why would Chaos's weapon want to kill me?"
Annabeth stared at me like I was the dumbest person alive, then she just said, "I prefer you first go to Rachel and ask for the prophecy." I was extremely worried about Annabeth and heartbroken, her behaviour screamed that she really wants to stay alone away from any connections. I wanted to shrug it off, but I couldn't handle it. From the corner of my eye, I saw Thalia and Nico eyeing Annabeth suspiciously. Soon, I found Rachel and saw my destiny.
Rachel said the prophecy just like the first time I ever heard a prophecy, the spirit of Delphi formed images of Gabe and his poker buddies. I flinched, suddenly remembering my past. But then, Gabe spoke,
"Go east,
To the mountains of peak.
The dove,
You shall meet.
The shield's discovery,
You must protect.
The rebirths of the hero,
Will hear about the death."
(sorry for a very bad prophecy)
I didn't like this prophecy, it clearly said that someone will die. I cursed the fates and the Gods. Why did they always have to make my life tougher? I liked everyone on the quest, I have made many new friends, and now they could all be in danger. I thought about when Gabe said that I am weak, all my life someone was consoling me that I was not, but right now, I felt like it a lot. Because of my friendship, someone might die. I decided what I was going to do, I was going to run away and deal with this prophecy on my own.
Night time:
Not even a single person, "Check."
I was fully prepared to run away, I felt like I was betraying everyone but it was the only way not to put the others in danger.
Then, I neatly slipped from bush to bush, but before I could cross the boundary, I saw something that caught my attention or I was probably in my imagination. Because what I saw could never have happened, or could it?
