Hero

Rachel Dare sits on a couch. Her hand grips her sword hilt as I walk in. She stares at me with no emotion.

"What's up with zombie girl?" I asked. Nico giggled, and Ike smacked my arm, "Dude, she's the Oracle." I widened my eyes, "Ohhhh. The 'Oracle!' Everyone bow down! Praise for the Oracle!" She sighed,

"You wanna hear about how you die or not?" The room lapsed into silence. Chiron nodded, "Rachel, we'd like to hear the Battle Prophecy."

"Well since you said please..." She grumbled. "Give me your hand Zach." I held out my hand and she grasped it. Rachel's eyes turned green and a green mist flowed out of her mouth,

"Son of discord come to die,
At the temple, oh so high,
Stop the Roman's evil raid,
Not expected to be paid,
Ask the Elpis the spirit of hope,
That you and the Romans must cope
Make peace between the two races,
But be sure to take slow paces,
Son of Strife, will his body lay,
But everything will be gay."

It was quiet, but Nico asked, "Gay in happy right?" Rachel collapsed into my arms, and blushing I pushed her onto a couch. I sighed,

"So I'm gonna die and everybody is gonna be gay?" Nico snickered, but Chiron nodded solemnly, " I am so sorry Zach." I shrugged, "Eh, it's good to get a quest. Even if I must die." Chiron gulped,

"Anyone, you'd like to take with you?" I nodded, "Yeah, Ike, Rider, Apple, and Aaron." Sara stepped up, "May I go?" I shrugged, "The more the merrier." Chiron rose his eyebrows, "Both children of the Big Three?"

I glared at him, "Uh, I'm going to DIE. So I can take who I want." He shrugged and nodded. I took out Discord and went to the door, "Now anyone who actually wants to FIGHT, you are welcome to come." Then I left.

And as I looked at the Battle Field I gasped.

Notes

New prophecy. What what!
