My kind of Love / Luke Castellan (on hold)

v: the beauty will fall

She turns to me and starts speaking.

"I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. Approach, seeker and ask."

"What is my destiny?" I ask, my voice shaking in the process

"Six kids trying to prove being hero's."

"Failing saving all, and coming as zeros."

"When losing the beauty, the monster arises."

"Making a sacrifice, but the prize will terrorize them."

My mouth is agape, I knew that hearing a prophecy could make you go insane, because of the thoughts. But I never suspected it to be actually a terrifying experience.

I take a few seconds to collect my thoughts, before walking out of that room as fast as I can.

Walking down the last stairs, I can't help but overhear.

"Aphrodite won't be happy with us. She specifically said to not let her favorite daughter go on a quest." Mr.D voice rings in my ears

"I know, but she's perfect for this quest." I recognize Chiron voice

Suddenly, this stupid staircase squeaks. Making me cringe. I finally reveal myself to them.

"What did it say?" Luke asks quickly standing up and walking up to me

I think for a while, trying to remember the exact words.

"Six kids trying to prove being hero's. Failing saving all, and coming as zeros. When losing the beauty the monster arises. Making a sacrifice but the prize will terrorize them." I tell them

They all look shocked and scared.

"What do you mean, failing saving all?" he asks, putting his hands on my shoulder and making me look up to him

"I don't know." My voice shakes

I won't lie, I'm scared. Scared that someone or even I might die in this quest.

"Don't read too much into it." Chiron says

"We want to get a list of people you're taking with on this quest by this evening, you're leaving tomorrow morning." Mr.D says

After Chiron dismisses us, we leave for lunch.

When we get to the Mess Hall, we part ways, but not before making plans to meet after it on the beach.

I walk to my table, and sitting down next to Penelope, across Silena and Brody.

"What did Chiron want from you?" Brody asks

"I got a quest alongside Luke and other people that I need to choose."

All their spoons fall into the soup and their jaw drops.

I explain everything that Chiron told me.

The sun is still shining when I arrive at the beach. I can already see Luke sitting on a blanket with a notebook in his hand.

"Hi." I say, he can say that from my voice I'm tired

"Hey."

I sit down next to him. The red picnic blanket is pretty comfortable. I watch all the other kids, making their way to the activities.

"You know more people that are good at fighting. Who do you think we should take?" I ask

"I think we should take Annabeth, she's really good and been waiting for a quest for a long time."

"Sure, Annabeth is also really smart. She will be helpful."

With that he writes her name down on the piece of paper.

"I think we should take Clarisse, she's really good and she's been working hard for a quest."

"Yeah, sure."

The next name is being written.

"We should take a satyr, he will help us find the demigod." I say

"That's a good idea."

"But which one?" I ask

"Maybe Grover?"

"Totally."

Next name.

"We should take Percy." He recommends

"But he just came to camp."

"Yes, but he's good and he has potential."

"Okay, so the people we take, are Clarisse, Annabeth, Grover and Percy."

"Perfect."

"Okay, we should tell Chiron who we choose." I say

He agrees and we make our way to the Big House.
