You have curse experience and prophecy experience? Speaking from experience, that is a bad combo. Was it, like, ongoing before you got here, or pretty much solved...?
It's not great! Life was way simpler before the whole demigod thing, let me tell you. I mean, technically the curses weren't all on me, but I walked into sort of a collective one?
And the Great Prophecy is still a big storm cloud looming over us. We were kind of in the middle of trying to do something about that when I got blasted here.
Yep, I just became a demigod one day In a poof of smoke! [ laughing] No, I was definitely born that way. I just didn't know until last year, and monsters don't really hunt us down until we're older. Apparently puberty is more than a just a siren call for zits for us.
And... yeah, it's kind of a big deal. Not in a good way, either, but - prophecies, man. What can you do but fulfill them and hope you live to move onto the next one?
That is definitely a perk. The camp's good for that, too, but that doesn't help when we're out on Great Prophecy business.
"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death."
Oh, yikes. That one is definitely worse than mine, so now I feel kind of weird saying it? But—
When two princes meet in the hollow upon their eighteenth year, one kingdom then will rise, and only then will the curse be broken. Uh, the curse was about some evil and possibly sentient forest that had been slowly overtaking the world for the last eighteen years.
Oh, yeah. We, like, just figured it out a few minutes before I got brought here, so - good timing! Or I would probably be a lot more stressed than I am right now.
Lucky break! My friends and I were just talking about what ours probably means before I got blasted off the ship, too. So I guess being here means getting some extra time to work out what to do about it when I get back.
Point of advice, then! Sometimes they aren't as ominous as they sound. Like, we had kind of been interpreting the 'one kingdom rises' part as a... conquest type thing, when it turned out to be more about unity. So maybe the part about the world falling means something else, too.
Making the world fall probably will be a good thing, if Pipes interpreted it right. It's the "an oath to keep with a final breath" part that I'm worried about. Because storm or fire could be either me or my friend Jason, but it's just one or the other, and the lines are still connected. So... it's not looking good for whichever one of us is left for it, you know?
[yikes. but he pauses for a moment while he goes on.]
How are they interpreting it? [his expression gets a little more somber before he goes on.] ...I really hope both of you will be okay. Maybe it's not how it seems.
The way Piper explained it, one of us should be the one to take Gaea down. But if she’s right about the lines being connected, that means the one of us who doesn’t do that… will probably die to keep some oath we’ve made. We just don’t know which of us that means yet.

Uh. Well, one hates me because she's the goddess of snow and I have the fire powers, and Gaea wants to prevent a prophecy from coming true, so...

[sucking in a breath, though, sympathetic.]
Oh, it's a Great Prophecy? Somehow that sounds even more ominous.

What was it? Maybe we can swap horrible prophecy stories.

...So, yeah, sunshine and rainbows!

So how's yours working out? If I were to guess... you and your Amir are the two princes, right?
