The infected Colossus sneezes his head off and dies. Apollo relays his prophecy to Rachel and Percy. Apollo believes the next Oracle he has to seek and protect is the Oracle of Trophonius. Percy decodes that Apollo’s companion on the quest will be the demigod Leo Valdez, the son of Hephaestus, Roman god of machines. As if on cue, Leo flies into the camp on his metal dragon Festus, with the nymph Calypso in mortal form in tow. Apollo, Leo, and Calypso form an alliance and decide to search for the next Oracle in Indiana, as per the grove’s direction, setting up the stage for The Dark Prophecy, book two of the series.
