Starry Pool of Arteen

You grab a cup and fill it up with starlight water. You drink from it and Arteen's starry image appears in your mind. Her cold, rasping voice seems to freeze time itself.
"Six shall go journey east,
One shall fall against the beast.
Sun and moon burn another's hand,
And its brother shall drown in the place of no land.
Retrieve the weapon of the sea god and head back home,
When three get back to safety, one shall perish from her comb.
The last will warn the other camp,
Only to fail because of his lamp."
Arteen's voice and image fades, and you let out a small sigh of relief. You think about what she had said. What could this all mean?
Meaning: Six campers will travel east,
One will die against a giant.
The old sun and moon gods will burn one camper's hand with fire,
The camper's brother will drown in the middle of the ocean.
The remaining three will save Poseidon's weapon,
When the living three get back to camp, one will die from Rachel's comb.
The other two will warn Camp Half-Blood,
But they will fail because of Chiron's lamp.
