This is my first story. I appreciate constructive criticism, but no flames. Enjoy.

Prologue

1000 B.C.

Percy POV

I smiled tersely at Artemis, worry filling me as I ran through all the possibilities for the emergency council meeting. Lately, Lord Zeus' bravado had become a big problem, and I came to one conclusion from his presumption.

"Gods and Goddesses! I have gathered you all today to make an announcement that will solidify our standing as an independent pantheon." He paused, attempting to create tension.

"As you know, our Guardians have only been slightly assisting us. This is why I have decided as the King of Gods that we no longer need them!"

This was met with mixed reactions, though I already felt impending doom coming as nearly all of the Council were blinded by pride. All of the Guardians were staring at Zeus like he was insane, which wasn't far off.

"Brother! What brings you to this conclusion!? Our Guardians are the only reason we were able to restrain Typhon and bring down Mount Othrys!" Poseidon nearly shouted at Zeus. He was gripping the armrests of his throne so tightly that fractures were appearing. Unfortunately, there were very few that agreed with him.

"Oh please. We all know that Hera and I were behind the main success. Alas, let us take a vote," he said before anyone could argue once again. "All in favor of keeping our Guardians?" Poseidon, Artemis and Apollo, Hephaestus and Hermes raised their hands.

"All in favor of dispelling them?" He said with a growing smirk. Ares, Dionysus, Athena, Hera, Aphrodite, Demeter and Zeus raised their hands. "Well, it seems that this is decided. Goodbye Guardians, and may Chaos be with you." I was too frozen in shock to move. With that, all Guardians were flashed out of Mount Olympus, and my vision faded to black.

Sorry for this prologue being extremely short, it was just a bit of backstory. I will try to make chapters 2000 words or more from now. Read and review, although you probably already did the former.
