PJO Victory Is Within (Annabeth Chase X Male Reader)

Tyson's(NOT SO)Welcomed home

"Unless what?" Annabeth finally spoke again

"No," Chiron said, "A foolish thought. The whole valley is feeling the shock of the poison. The magical borders are deteriorating. The camp itself is dying. Only one source of magic would be strong enough to reverse the poison and it was lost centuries ago."

"What is it?" Percy asked. "We'll go and find it!"

Chiron closed his saddlebag. He pressed the stop button his music device. Then he turned resting a hand on Percy shoulder, looking at him in the eyes. "Percy you must promise me that you will not act rashly. I told your mother I did not want you to come here at all this summer. It's much too dangerous. But now that you are here, stay here. Train hard. Learn to fight. But do not leave."

I wanted to speak up but I kept my mouth shut 

"Why?" Percy asked. "I want to do something! I can't just let the borders fail. The whole camp will be-"

"Overrun by monsters," Chiron said "Yes, I fear so. But you must not let yourself be baited into hasty action! This could be a trap of the titan lord. Remember last summer! He almost took you life." 

It was true. A person we thought was are friend tried to kill Percy. But I jumped in and fought him. But do to my curse by Hades, which I also found about last summer I could not kill him. Luke Castellan got away winning in the end. The poisoning had to be his doing. Who else would be so low as to attack Thalia's tree, the only thing left of a hero who'd given her life to save her friends? The next time we run into him I will—

Annabeth was trying hard not to cry. Chiron brushed a tear from her cheek. "Stay with Percy, child," he told her. "Keep him safe. The prophecy-remember it!" 

"I-I will."

"Um . . ." Percy said. "Would this be the super-dangerous prophecy that has me in it, but the gods have forbidden you to tell me about?"

Nobody answered. I really wanted to tell him about but I swore not to say anything until Chiron says so. 

"Right," Percy muttered. "Just checking."

"Chiron . . ." Annabeth said. "You told me the gods made you immortal only so long as you were needed to train heroes. If they dismiss you from camp-"

"Swear you will both do your best to keep Percy from danger," he insisted "Swear upon the River Styx."

"Great more swearing on my grandmother, but sure" I said. Percy looked at me funny "My mom's mom is Styx" which only confused him more.

"I swear it upon the River Styx," Annabeth and I said

Thunder rumbled scaring some of the campers.

"Very well," Chiron said. He seemed to relax just a little. "Perhaps my name will be cleared and I shall return. Until then, I go to visit my wild kinsmen in the Everglades. It's possible they know of some cure for the poisoned tree that I have forgotten. In any event, I will stay in exile until this matter is resolved . . . One way or another." 

Annabeth stifled a sob. Chiron patted her shoulder awkwardly. "There, now, child. I must entrust your safety to Mr. D and the new activities director. We must hope . . . well, perhaps they won't destroy the camp quite as quickly as I fear."

"Who's is this Tantalus guy, anyways?" Percy demanded "Where does he get off taking your job?"

A conch horn blew across the valley. We hadn't realized how late it was. It was time for the campers to assemble for dinner. 

"Go." Chiron said. "You will meet him at the pavilion. I will contact your mother, Percy and let her know you're safe. No doubt she'll be worried by now. Just remember my warning! You are in grave danger. Do not think for a moment that the titan lord has forgotten you!"
