Chapter Text

—Tommy—

Tommy slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings where was he? The last thing he remembered was the nuke hitting the prison. He was dead wasn’t he? This didn’t look like limbo he was in some sort of medow biome with trees sombody had made a path. It was way too nice to be the dream smp. The biome seemed to be surrounded by tall buildings with glass windows kinda reminded him of one of the las nevadas buildings.

Luckily he still had his sword, no armour though. He checked his inventory, he had a stack of beef and blocks. It was different to what he had in the prison almost like somebody placed things inside his inventory. It was more organised than his inventory normally was. Something in his inventory caught his eye… a red shulker box? Weird, really weird. He was pretty sure the nuke went off. He definetly remembered that god-awful alarm splitting his eardrums, even if the nuke didn’t go off that didn’t explain how he was here now, wherever here was.

He heard a groan behind him, it came from behind one of the trees. Tommy got his sword out and slowly aproached where he heard the noise. When he saw who it was he dropped his sword. “Tubbo!” Tubbo was sat at the base of the tree looking just as confused as tommy was. Tubbo looked up and smiled “hey bossman”. Tommy smiled ”whats up bigman”.

Tubbo examined his surroundings “where are we.” “Still trying to figure that out myself bigman” he offered his hand out to Tubbo took it and stood up. “Hey what do you have in your inventory” Tommy said. Tubbo pulled it up “nothing, I guess whoever or whatever brought us to this place took our stuff.” “Huh” Tommy looked at his own again “then why… ” he looked up at tubbo “who or what ever brought us here gave me a neterite sword blocks, food and a shulker box.” Tubbos eyes widened “a shulker box, whats in it?” Tommy shrugged “dunno didn’t check”.

Tommy pulled it out and looked inside, he didn’t have much experience with shulker boxes but he could say with confidence that this one was not f*cking normal. Inside was nothing but a swirling void, it was hauntingly beautiful. Tubbo looked over his shoulder “stick your hand in.” Tommy whipped his head around “STICK MY HAND IN, you f*cking stick your hand in bigman.” Tubbo shrugged and put his hand in the box and pulled out a sword like the one Tommy had. “I was just thinking that I wanted a sword”. Tommy was baffled ”What the f*ck”.

People were starting to filter into the now. They were staring at the duo and muttering things like “damn kids” and “ugh.. LARPers”. Seeing this tommy realised they should probably move. He picked up the swored he dropped on the ground and put in his inventory. Tubbo did the same with his sword “what do we do now”. “I dunno” replied Tommy “I suppose we pick a direction and go”. Tubbo shrugged ”sure”.

—Percy—

Percy really hoped this prophesy was for some other demigod, mabey that made him a bad person. To be fair he had been through enough life threatening quests to last a lifetime, thanks. He felt like at this point he should be alowed to be a little selfish. Rachels words were still ringing around in his head. He really wished he could stop thinking about it. Surely the fates didn’t want to go three for three on making him a part of potentially world ending prophesys. A traitorus voice in his head said that three was a big number in the greek world, shut up voice.

“you ready to go” Annabeth called from the hall. Percy got his ‘leo’ phone from his room and walked out to meet Annabeth. Annabeth on seeing the phone in his had said “so yours hasn’t blown up yet”. ”Nope, though I have been avoiding using it for anything but texting, even that videocall with Rachel I could feel it heating up.” Annabeth visibly shuddered percy couldn’t tell wheather it was because of the mention of that conversation or because she was thinking about when her leo phone blew up when they were watching the breackfast club ”I really hope that leo is done with v2”. “Yeah though if all they are able to do is recieve calls about prophesies I might go back to being phoneless.” Annabeth raised an eyebrow “phone or not there are always gonna be prophesies seweed brain and anyway… ” she picked up their picnic basket ”we’ve got a date to have before a certain park gets too busy”.

Percy thought back to that call.

It was a normal morning his mom had made pancakes, Annabeth was over and they were planning on having a picnic later when Rachel called. Percy remembers looking at Annabeth since the breakfeast club incident they had decided to not use the leo phone for anything but emergencys at least until leo had worked out all the kinks. He accepted the call.

Rachel elizabeth dare’s face appeared on screen she was panicked “okay so don’t freak out.” Percy was starting to panic now “you know that is the worst thing to say to someone if you don’t want to freak out.” Rachel took in a breath “Percy, there is a new big prophesy”. Annabeth came round the table to look at the phone “what”. “Yeah, I got it on paper here one sec” she went out of frame and Percy heard shuffling from the call ”found it”. Rachel came back into frame.

“Okay I have it here…

When worlds collide and friends reunite;
Monsters shall join arms and further your plight.

Six must race to temples of old;
Of lost deity’s from centuries untold.

A book to save what once was lost;
Will not be destroyed without a terrible cost.

We are having a camp meeting later to discuss it”

Percy looked at Annabeth she nodded at his silent question “We’ll be there.” After that they decided to make the most of the peaceful time they had now and go ahead with the picnic.
