The Rage of the StormBringer

Zeus' POV

I do not know what's going on with Poseidon. He has been really angry about it, and whenever I ask about it, he just yells at me and tells me to stay out of his business. Today, I'm going to demand that he tell me about it. I'm getting tired of him being so angry and yelling at the King of the Gods.

As I'm thinking about this, I run into Apollo, who looks like he is in a better mood than usual. I walk up to him, and he notices me. He bows and says, "Hello Father, how are you today?" "I am fine. How are you Apollo? You look like you're in a better mood than usual." Apollo all but beams at me, jumps up and says excitedly, "You bet I am. Thanks to the human's pollution and global warming, the Earth is hotter than ever!" Hmmm, maybe this could be the key as to why my brother is so angry. "Apollo, exactly where do the humans dump their junk?" "Why, the ocean, of course," he says. "Thank you Apollo. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go see Poseidon."

Before I go to see him, Apollo grabs my arm and, for once, speaks in a serious tone. "Be careful Father. You know how he's been really angry lately." I nodded and sent an Iris message to Atlantis (All these millennia and I still don't know what it looks like. How sad is that?)But what surprised me is that it wasn't Poseidon who answered. It was his son, Perseus.

He bowed to me and said, "What can I do for you, Lord Zeus?" "Perseus Jackson, I wish to speak to your father. It is urgent." He looked nervous when I said that. "As much as I would love to honor your request, Lord Zeus, I can't. My father asked me to not let anyone see him. Especially you."

This, of course, made me angry. What did he mean especially me? Then a thought dawned on me. Perhaps young Perseus knew what was wrong with his father. So I asked him. "Perseus, do you know what is wrong with your father? He has been acting most strange as of late. Can you tell me why?" He looked to his left and right to make sure no one was there, then he turned back to me. "I know why my dad is so mad all the time. Because of all the junk that the mortals throw into the seas, he's feeling nauseous. All the complaints from the Nereids and naiads don't help. Lord Zeus, you've got to help us. If something isn't done, Poseidon's going to push the planet into another Ice Age!"

Oh this is bad. I must summon the council at once to deal with this problem. I just hope that we can help Poseidon before he explodes. He is known for his explosive temper.

This is my second story. I hope you like it. I don't own Percy Jackson, though I wish that I did.
