   Summary

   Prophetic power was one I could have gone without just fine. Even before I was born, snapshots of the future constantly plagued my mind. Paris shooting down Achilles. Alexander the Great’s reign. Joan of Arc’s death. Vincent Van Gogh. Boy, was it confusing when I saw Sombr for the first time.

   Anyways, most of those snapshots had been tragedies—which isn’t all that surprising. The Greeks invented tragedy. But it’s safe to say that I had no love for prophecy. Especially not after the whole Python ordeal.

   It had been three years since my trials as Lester Papadoupolos. Meg’s fifteenth birthday was coming up soon, and Lityerses had turned “twenty” last week. Georgina had hit the double-digits last month (No, I did not tear up—shut up, Meg). Percy and Annabeth would be finishing their final year of college soon, and Will and Nico would be starting their first. Everything was peaceful.

   So imagine my surprise when my beloved Oracle of Delphi possessed me in front of the entire council.
