Hope you guys enjoy :)
A bright light penetrated through the dining pavillion causing the campers to close their eyes and turn away. As the light died, they turned to see Hestia standing there.
"Milady." Chiron bowed. "To what do we owe the pleasure?"
"Oh, please brother, that isn't necessary." She said sweetly. "I've come to borrow a handful of your campers, if you don't mind."
"A quest?" Clarrise asked, curious.
"No. And I'm sure they will be very relieved at that. Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Nico, Leo- if you'd come with me please."
The five demigods stood uncertainly and walked over the goddess. She cast a smile to Chiron and the other campers before flashing out to the throne room on Olympus.
Four figures stood in the middle of the room: Jason, Reyna, Hazel and Frank. They all looked rather intimidated by the fifteen-foot gods before them, as were Piper and Leo. Said daughter of Aphrodite went over to join her boyfriend.
Hestia took a seat- in the council circle as oppose to by the fireplace, Percy noticed. He did a count of the gods and found Apollo to be missing. Interesting.
"Why are we here?" Leo asked blatantly. Frankly, he just wanted to get home to his waffels and his girlfriend.
"We've brought you all here to thank you." Hera stated. "You have saved the earth and you have saved even us. We are indebted to you all."
"However," Zeus started. Just that one word caused many of the other gods to look over at him with furrowed brows.
"Brother, what are you-" Poseidon started.
"You are all the most powerful of any of your siblings, past or present. You are liabilities, and we must defuse that."
"Father?" Jason and Athena asked at the same time. It seemed the gods and goddesses were just as lost as the half-bloods.
"We regret to inform you that we must mute your powers."
"We?" Aphrodite asked, narrowing her eyes. "We didn't agree to this. We didn't even discuss something like this."
"What in our brother's name are you doing, Zeus?" Poseion growled.
"I've made an executive decision." He declared. "These children have served their purpose in completing the prophecy. And now it is time to dilute their powers. We can't have them just running around with the kind of power they currently possess."
The gods began shouting at their king. Even Hera protested.
"Enough!" He rumbled. "I've made up my mind, there is no swaying me." And before anyone could stop him, Zeus raised his hand and shot a bolt of magic at the kids.
