I didn't want to go through it again, but I told them the story, including my

dream about the Titans. I left out the detail about Nico. Nico had made me

promise not to tell anybody about his plan until I made up my mind, and the plan

was so scary I didn't mind keeping it a secret.

 

Chiron gazed down at the valley. "We must call a war council immediately, to

discuss this spy, and other matters."

 

"Poseidon mentioned another threat," I said. "Something even bigger than the

Princess Andromeda. I thought it might be that challenge the Titan had mentioned

in my dream."

 

Chiron and Annabeth exchanged looks, like they knew something I didn't. I hated

when they did that.

 

"We will discuss that also," Chiron promised.

 

"One more thing." I took a deep breath. "When I talked to my father, he said to

tell you it's time. I need to know the full prophecy."

 

Chiron's shoulders sagged, but he didn't look surprised. "I've dreaded this day.

Very well. Annabeth, we will show Percy the truth — all of it. Let's go to the

attic."
