The Oracle
Mod
Rachel was depicting historical events. It was Annabeth and Luke, as Thalia was absorbed into a pine sprout, stretching and growing, emanating power. monsters lined the horizon... It would be amazing when finished. "Have fun. Stay safe," she said, absentmindedly.
((thanks! Where should Fletcher talk to him? Here on the Oracle discussion?))

Fletcher quickly strode into the room, knocking as he entered, out of breath. He stumbled into his speech this time, not dragging it out."Rachel, I'm sorry to bug you again, but we need a prophesy! Athena herself just spoke to me and Chloe. There's a reason there are so many monsters around Camp! The Doors of Death have left their power embedded in the Crystal Caves of the Grand Canyon. Monsters had to spawn somewhere while the Door were in overtime mode -- they couldn't all enter from the Doors of Death room that the Seven found --, and a wave of them spawned in the Crystal Caves, imbuing the crystals with a dark power. Now, even after the Doors have been closed, each individual crystal acts as a spawning point, generating hundreds of monsters every hour from Tartarus. Not only are monsters flooding out of the caves into the rest of the world, but Eris, the goddess of strife and discord, is adding her power to speed up the process. Eris' power is making the crystals suck the life energy from anyone who touches it, and the Caves have turned into a living nightmare. The crystals reach into the mind of anyone who enters the Cave and searches for their darkest, deepest fear and makes it a reality. If one is afraid of being alone, they can't find their companions and wander in the dark; if one is afraid from spiders, a horde of spiders will attack them."
He drew in a breath after finishing his rehearsed speech. He had been trying to find the perfect words for about 20 minutes now. "So, Miss Oracle, is there a prophesy that could help us? We'll need to make sure Chiron approves a Quest, but I'm sure a prophesy would help us." He sat down on the floor, succumbing to his exhaustion.
Yeesh. That's alot of pressure. LOL. Poor Oracle.
((Haha Sorry, Rachel/Ilsa! The fate of the world is in her hands now. No pressure though!))

Green poured forth from Rachel. Eerie light, as if she was possessed by a ghastly spirit. Her hair swirled around her as her eyes shot open wide, glowing so brightly that her pupils weren't visible at all.
"Caverns of crystal, fashioned of bone,
Horrible halls, withering stone,
Fears that attack the vulnerable heart,
Find that in death, perhaps is your start.
All things wither, all things die,
Crystals burn under a nightmare sky,
Fears will shriek, monsters fade,
Yet fate demands an equal trade."
Fletcher stared at Rachel, his mouth hanging open. Had that just happened? There was no way she just issued an actual live prophesy. He leaped up and helped her onto a stool when she began to sway exhaustively. "Are you OK?" Her eyes were no longer glowing, but her face still looked like it held all the knowledge and fate of the world.

He stepped back quickly. Dang, this girl was scary. "Sorry. I've just heard that you used to pass out after issuing a prophesy. I guess it would makes sense that you would get stronger as time goes on."
Sensing that he should probably leave before doing anything else stupid, he edged towards the curtain. "Umm, thank you, Rachel. I'll go now and try to save the world."
He stepped out into the sunlight.

((Stanza one: Brief intro to the theme, define crystals,
Stanza two: First crystal's locations, throw in some foreshadowing
Stanza two: Second Crystal. Maybe a little action.
Stanza three: Third. A trap or trick or something.
Stanza four: Conclusion, usually left ambiguous.))
(the trident of poseidon and the toolbelt of hephaestus are missing drew leon and Lydia are going please give a prophecy that doesn't include them dying)

Rachel sat sprawled on the floor of her cave, watching Netflix and chomping on some Cheetos. The orange dust had already smattered her face with more fire-orange freckles. She sat up, brushing herself off, and wiped her face, almost shyly, as if shocked at the sudden visitor. She'd have to slap Hermes for giving her curtain-doors, and not wooden ones that required knocking. "Hello," she called back. "What's up?"
"sorry to bug you but we need a prophecy if you dont mind" drew said cautiously
Mod
Rachel's mouth did not move, but a voice came from her gaping mouth.
"Water's spear and endless cloth,
Taken from the godly crop,
Stolen by the fist of fire,
Face the wrath of deadly ire,
Risk the eyes that give you sight,
Gamble with the hiss of light,
Lose or win, the answer's clear:
This path gives way to mortal fear."
(you have a knack for this don't you?)
Mod
drew looked at her then realized his fist was on fire and extinguished the flame "well...... that was interesting"
Mod
"uh sure?" drew said "so who or what stole the items"
Mod
"can we listen to it maybe chiron will know" he said
Mod
"thanks ill bring it to chiron" drew said
Mod
"more like a forbodingly sinister trip but thanks anyway" he said walking out
(yeah drew Lydia and less u wanna do evs character Chloe)
((Amanda, are we still doin the quest oooor......?))
"I beat you Luna,and now you have to give me a kiss;)"
"Thanks, Rachel!" Fletcher told himself to not get too excited. He shouldn't sound like a child who was finally allowed to play outside.
He shuddered when he noticed the picture she was drawing. Why she would have pictures depicting terror on her floor was beyond him. Oracles were weirder than he thought. At least Rachel was a nice weird Oracle.
((Ilsa, should I make a quest group and a quest discussion, or should I rp with someone in an "outside the camp" discussion? Also, is there a place I'm supposed to talk to Chiron, or is that just be imagined?))
