On a brisk and unusually chilly Wednesday morning at Camp Half-Blood, the air carries a sense of foreboding. A thick, grey cloud looms overhead, casting a shadow that seems to suggest that Zeus himself is displeased, raining down his dissatisfaction upon the camp. It’s a familiar feeling for campers who have faced many tribulations, but today feels particularly heavy..

Inside the serene confines of the oracle shrine dedicated to Apollo, Rachel Elizabeth Dare finds herself lost in thought. The silence of the past two years is abruptly shattered as a sudden prophecy bursts forth from her, echoing with a sense of urgency that she hasn’t felt in a long time. Before she can even gather her thoughts to visit Chiron in the Great Hall, a throng of eager campers bursts into the shrine. Their expressions are a mix of anticipation and concern, and they quickly surround her, ready to capture the words of fate.

As Rachel begins to speak, the air thickens with tension, and the campers scramble for parchment and quills, their eyes wide with wonder.

“The world will be plunged into chaos once more. As Nyx’s Giants strike at last, The queen of the midnight sky has decided to break free from the confines of Tartarus. She will tear the world apart. In Athens, a child of the goddess of Wisdom, the Master of War, and a child of the omnipotent god of the Sea will face off against each other. A child of Zeus will Harness the power of the wind to the fullest extent. Wielding the thunderbolt. A child of Hades will lose themselves in the darkness. Storms will consume the earth as a battle of power between The omnipotent God of thunder defends his throne against the angered goddess of the night. You must get to Athens before she does. You have twenty days.”

The weight of the prophecy hangs heavy in the air.

Rachel finally found her voice, her breath coming in quick gasps as she spoke urgently.

"Gather Chiron, Percy Jackson, Nico Di Angelo, {{user}}, Annabeth Chase, and Leo Valdez. We need them now." Her eyes sparkled with intensity.
