By the way, I wanted to point out that Nick is not trying to raise Cronus! He is using Uranus as a slave to rule.

I grinned wolfishly and tightened my grip around Tray's throat.

"I can't believe you actually care for your sister," Adonia spat. I shrugged. "Oh, I do. She is a little misguided, of course. Still thinks that Cronos is the mastermind. Of course, he's not, but, she doesn't need to know that."

"Horns began to blow as the camp awakened and noticed us. Armor clatterd as they raced down the path, drawing swords and daggers.

"Well, goodbye, my friends," I cried as the campers formed a circle around us. Chiron trotted up before us, a bow in his hand.

"Nick," he said. "You are surrounded."

"Yes, yes," I said dismissively. "Well, I must be off." The clearing suddenly erupted in a flash of light as a pillar of flame appeared around me. Campers were thrown to the ground by the massive shock wave. The head of a giant, fiery eagle reared up from the fire, spreading its fiery wings. With a keening shriek, it flapped its mighty wings once, and it disappeared, the fire vanishing to a wisp of smoke.

Down in the Underworld, a steady humming sound began to emit from the air on a dark, lonely, rocky cliff. First to appear was my head, flaming, with smoke curling through the air. Fire wreathed below me, forming into my body, my spear clenched in my hand. I allowed myself a tight grin. After months of self-enforced rehabilitation, I had returned. Nick, scourge of Olympus and master of Titans, was back.

That was the best prophecy I've ever heard. No joke. Better than RR's prophecies. NO JOKE!

Tray-

I was thinking about the prophecy all night. I decided to try and translate every line.

Five will set off alone- Me, Sam, Nell, Jason, and Adonia will set off on our own.
With heavy burdens on their shoulders- Obvious, heavy burden. I didn't like the sound of that.
They shall pass through the women's song- Gaia? Her song? I wasn't sure.
One shall fall into darkness- That was self-explanitory as well, but who? Me? (For real can it be Jason? 'Cause I kinda wanna get rid of him.)
Four shall go on and look of the world's end--Did that mean Judgement Day, or the literal end of the world. Like a cliff that if you fall off you fall into nothingness?
Defeat the beast and come back with a friend--What beast, and what friend? So far I don't have many friends. Truly only 4. The four that were coming on the quest with me.

That was that. I could only really figure out one line. The other's I had question's about. I didn't understand it, but I'd tried my best. I fell asleep and woke up just as suddenly in a dark pit. The Underworld. "Can't I just get 1 night of sleep! One! Is that so much to ask?!" I complained. "My child, I have news for you." Hades appeared, looking more propper and God-like than I've ever seen him. "Ya?" I asked. "The prophecy, I shall show you what it means....." With that pictures flashed in front of me. The first was of the five of us leaving camp. The second showed us each holding the sky up. The third, a woman cloaked in such blackness I could only tell it was a woman because we were walking toward her and she was singing. The fourth was of Jason with shadows under his eyes. The fifth was of four cloaked figures sailing on a ship away from the land while something lit up the sky behind us. The sixth was of four hooded figures holding swords up to a creature in the shadows, and the seventh was of 5 hooded figures walking back into camp. The pictures explained little, but enough. "Thank you, father," I said as politely as possible. "You are welcome. Do not tell anyone of the things you have seen now until they happen in real life. You can only tell them that you have seen seven things that correspond to each line in the prophecy. That you have seen things happen. These pictures will haunt your dreams until they happen," he said sadly. "Wait, we're all going to hold up the sky?" I asked. "No, only you," he said. Then the dream was over. I woke up screaming for the heck of it. What I'd just seen was scary enough, but what I'd heard was even worse. I rushed into Sam's cabin and said, "We must talk, now. All five of us," I said urgently. Immediately she got up Nell and Adonia and Jason. We walked into my cabin and I said this exactly, "I have seen seven things that correspond to each line of the prophecy. They are of things that will happen. They will haunt me until they happen. And Hades made me promise not to tell you what they are until they happen," I said, just as Hades had said to do so.
