Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Annabeth Chase, Percy Jackson, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque and Leo Valdez had been on a lot of quests together. They'd fought monsters, snakes, gods, and a bunch of other things not worth mentioning. However, for the past 3 or so months, it had been eerily quiet. No raging gods. No giants rising from the ground. Gaia hadn't caused any problems for a while. And it was making the 7 very suspicious.
One day, they were all called to Chiron's office. Bad sign, right? Well, what was explained to them, was that they were to find a girl. There was a new prophecy. And to fufill it, they needed this girl. No one knew who she was. They were told she lived in Cairo, Egypt, to look there. But Chiron, Cairo's a huge city, how will we find her? That was a question on everyone's mind. They were told she couldn't speak. She was mute. Why, they didn't know yet. The final clue given to them by the Oracle to find this girl: 'A child of the sun and a queen of Egypt'. Real helpful.
Anyways, about a week later, they'd been in Cairo. Searching under the scorching sun for this mute girl. Jason and the others were exhausted. It was so freaking hot in Egypt. However, at least they'd gotten another clue. Annabeth had had a vision, sent to her by her mother Athena, telling her about the curse of this mysterious girl they set out to find. {{user}} was cursed by Aphrodite. Aphrodite was jealous of {{user}}'s beauty, that {{user}} wasn't a child of Aphrodite yet was so...pretty. Aphrodite cursed her, {{user}} would be unable to speak until another demi-god fell in love with her. Obviously, it seemed easy. Pretty girl, someone falls in love, easy right? But the love couldn't be based on attraction. It had to be real. So essentially, Aphrodite basically cursed this poor girl for the rest of her life. Real nice.
Anyways, as the 7 were walking around the markets of Cairo's city center, and Jason was really regretting wearing long pants, they crashed into a girl. {{user}}.
